Hey Guys.. (whoever's reading)

I'm officially HOMESICK again. Its like I can't stop thinking about home since the day mom and Jackiee left. Plus with all the recent happenings at home, I'm caught in a situation whereby I have to start making important decisions for good of myself as well as my family. Never really mentioned this earlier cause I obviously din have the mood too.haha. Oh. And the weather here is making it SO MUCH worse, I have no idea why. It had been raining non-stop for uh... i dunno, FORTY-RIGHT freakin hours?!?! Its madness I tell you..

Anyway, school's been great so far. I actually have to do reports and presentation on a weekly basis now. Something I haven't done in 'A' long time. haha =)
Classmates are a fun and not to mention whacky bunch of people. For some reason they're always telling me how clean and green Singapore is with their strict rules and all that. Not that they find it replusive.. but America should also be doing that as well.
So all you Singaporeans whose reading this, be proud to be one! Other people from various parts of the world are giving countless 'praises' to Singapore. Haha.

Right.. another long day at school tomorrow. We're supposed to be having a field trip for our afternoon class. This should be exciting now that I'm being partners with Matthew George.
*sigh. Lord I SOOOOOO need you by my side, every step of the way.
Okay then, nothing much to write. Guess I'll leave it to another day.
Toodles now!

So guess wad? I got myself into deep shit with the Law here, in Korea.
Without realizing I had to change my information at Immigration BEFORE I change school, I went on thinking I can do it AFTER I started classes at Sogang. Sweet Move Catherine..
I almost got charged for violating the law and almost deported back to Singapore. Fortunately, after further investigating my case, the officer drop my charges. HOWEVER, I still have to get out of Korea before July 22nd and re-enter again as a visitor.

MAFAN sia. And don't get me started on the part where I had to explain it to my mom. She went BALLISTIC! Thinking that I'm being put into Jail and all. Well anyway, I'm leaving Korea to the nearest country which is CHINA, for a few hours and then come back into Korea again after getting stampped on my passport.

Other than that, nothing else intersting happened. I'm really starting to hate Yonsei KLI.. they're getting pretty annoying and seriously inconsiderate. But that's just me talking...
haha.Alright.. more updates soon!

P.s I hope you're doing aye-okay in your New school MARIAH!!
I'll see you when u come back in Dec. Hopefully the same time I do..!

Oh my god. You have no idea how many times I've wanted to update this "dead" blog.
So many things have happened this past week and I din take the time to jot them all down. CLASSIC. Well done Catherine. haha =)

First of all, I'd like to take this opportunity to announce my "resignation" of studying at Yonsei University. BECAUSE, I've been awarded a Scholarship by the Korean Education Board to study Korean Language at yet another well-known and fascinating school.. SOGANG UNIVERSITY.
I Love it! I went for Orientation yesterday and I thank the 'Lord Jesus Almighty' that there weren't many ASIANS as I thought it'll be. haha
They're either Americans or Korean-americans..

Class started today. Did a test first (in the morning) to determine where we would put in class.I'm happy to say this cause for so long, I finally made it to the ADVANCED level.hahaha
I made a friend, Jenny whom I met at Orientation the day before and was so thankful (yet again..) we got into the same class.
A little intro on Jenny since I'd probably be talking about her for the next 6 weeks. She's full Korean but born and raised in Hawaii. Lovely girl, funny and definitely friendly. I think we're the same age cause i've yet to ask but according to her she said she graduated from High School LAST year which kinda makes that 20 this year. So yeah..






Okay.. on a slightly different note, did anyone catch TRANSFORMERS 2 at theatres over the weekend? If you haven't, go kill yourself please.
WHERE WERE YOU MAN? haha..
Awesome shit I tell you.. and I can't get over the fact that the music throughout the movie was fantastic! Linkin Park did a great job collaborating all the music pieced together.
Right after the movie, I came home and started downloading the ENTIRE Soundtrack album.

Alright.. I'm gonna go off now. Its 8am wake up call for me from now on.. through out the next 6 weeks. Wish me luck. CIAO!

I'm BACK! From the Country side and I don't mean just my ah-ma's.. like from the mountains!
My skin's burnt, my back aches and my legs feel they just don't work no more. haha

Anyway, spent the first 3 days at Grandma's.. went to the beach with my mom's side of the family and what not. Got to eat freshly caught fish turned Sashimi. After that, came back to Seoul again. Left the day after to Gangwon-do (way east of S.Korea). Took the train to Chuncheon City.. the scenery was just fantastic! Words cannot describe it man.. Went to the famous SOYANG DAM which was a 'must' thing to do there. Since we were on the mountain, we took the bus to the top and walked DOWN when we were done. haha =) It wasn't tiring at all. haha

Day after. Took a 2 hour Express Bus ride to SOKCHO which was famous for its fishing ports and beaches. But unfortunately, it totally rained when we got there thus, unable to go to the beach. Instead, we cooped up in out hotel room the rest of the day.
The next day, we were lucky enough to head out to Mt. Seoraksan ( highest Mountain in the region) cause the weather was just PERFECT. Took the cable car up to one of the shorter mountains and then walked UP ( a long distance) to the top of some waterfall. It was tiring but worth it lah. I mean, when will you ever get this kind of opportunity right?

After all the climbing up and down for the past 3 days, we came back by bus to Seoul..late last night. TIRED balls! If I didn't stuff myself with delicious food at every meal, all that walking and climbing would have helped me lost at least 8kg! hahaha =) Guess I can flush that idea now.

Right, about to head out to meet Ji Yeon cause mom said we should. Then she's off to Grandma's on her own which CLEARLY means she's left me with Jackiee for a few days. Classic.
Well, can take this time to actually do some SHOPPING after so long. haha

Done now.. more updates soon now that I've Internet at my fingers! JA NAE!

Hi Hi Hi..
Its been a week already. Fast aye? I'm done with the exams which I'm so bloody thankful for. Holidays start on Friday. WOOPEE!
Anyway, Jackiee has been staying with me at my place since Monday cause Mom went to visit her Niece at the country side. Who would have thought that Jackiee could be such a spoilt,bratty Princess! She couldn't 'tahan' staying at my Grandma's without me.. haha =) Cutie.

Today. I sorta "chao-ed" school early to go out with Jackiee as planned. First stop, made our way to the Immigration Office to get my VISA extended. Now that that's done, I don't have to worry about it when I go backpack travelling with the family. After which we cabbed to Myeong-dong for some shopping. Well at least that's what Jackiee did. haha =)
We decided to walk to the Cable car station where we took the cable car up to NAMSAN TOWER. Incase you didn't know, we just wanted to check out the places where 'Kkott Boda Namja' were filming at. haha =)

When we reached the top of the mountain, it was so fucking cold! Despite all that, we managed to snap a couple of pictures. Today was fun.. maybe because I got to spent it with my little sister. I miss our bonding time.. It won't be too long before mom and Jackiee return to Singapore and I'm left all ALONE again. I'd have to wait another 6 months before I can fly back home for the holidays. -___-. Oh well..

Okay, end here.. School tomorrow!
NIGHT!

Bon jour!
So guess wad? Mom and Jackiee's here in Korea! Woohoo! Went to the airport to pick them up a few days ago. I was waiting like an hour for them at the arrival hall and once i saw mom walking out the exit, I started to tear! This shows how much I miss them.. haha =)

So anyway, we've been catching up with each other of course.. Did a little bit of touring CENTRAL SEOUL over the weekend, even walked up to the Seoul Tower (that was seriously a crazy move we did..)
However, just two days ago.. mom and Jackiee left for the COUNTRY SIDE aka, Granny's place cause I had upcoming exams to study for next week and won't be able to meet them. So mom figured, "Why not see my own mother??".haha. No worries, I'll be making my way there too once the school holidays start!

Speaking of which, I got pretty, no wait.. DAMN upset this afternoon.. THANKS TO THIS IDIOTIC FELLA in my class who happens to be my partner. We had a 'speaking' exam today and it was suppose to be done between two people, in conversation form. So our topic/scenario was about 'visiting the doctor'. I totally did my part by memorizing my lines but that ASS-WIPE didn't! He didn't even make the effort to study the lines over the weekend. I mean c'mon! You had like 4 days to remember only 7 short lines! And worse, he thought the exam was TOMORROW. For god's sake man! So pissed off!
But wadeva, Scott was right when he told me that "its okay" cause the exam was only 20%. BUT STILL! Its the damn 'PRINCIPLES' that matter.. I din care about the grade, it was more like taking RESPONSIBILITIES which he totally lacks.

I can't believe people like him still exist in this world. Jesuz.
I'm gonna go study now. Reading exam tomorrow. Shit.
GOODNIGHT!

P.S.. You gotta watch this funny, cute clip of 'Jensen Ackles' aka 'Dean Winchester' from SUPERNATURAL. He's so hot! I love watching Supernatural now.. haha =)

Hello fellow earthlings!
I've been wanting to post an entry, but was kinda caught up with other 'important' things. But then again, what does that matter? I'm here anyway. haha

SO. Friday was quite a blast.. basically because we din have to sit in class for 5 hours learning more difficult grammars and vocabulary like we usually do. The school celebrated their 50th Anniversary since their establishment. I was hoping we would be given the day off but apparently not, we had to attend the event which started in the morning. HOWEVER, my loving teacher told us to come by in the afternoon when all the long speeches are over and performances started. So that's what we did.

After the performance at the auditorium, my classmates and I walked to the Fun-Fair nearby where they were selling INTERNATIONAL FOOD. We're talking American, Italian, Thai, Japanese, French. Obviously, SINGAPORE'S not one of them.. trust me, I circled the place like more than 3 times in the hopes of locating it. I did however, find MALAYSIA? Close enough right? haha.. Bought 'nasi lemak' which totally satisfied me.

After the school event, we all decided to head out to Sinchon for lunch. After which we still had some time on our hands, and decided to walk over to "K-BOX" for some singing and drinking time. haha. Yes, all this at 4 in the afternoon. I'm a little early on the drinking part, but its been a while man! Haha.. Came home after that.. a little light headed but still focused.

Today was no better. Woke up like 3 in the afternoon.. after spending the whole night before, sorting and uploading thousands of pictures onto myphotoalbum. Tough work but I finally completed it. Then took a walk to Sogang University.. get my thigh muscles moving. Came home again, no dinner. So I walked out grab macs which I regretted cause it only adds up in my body. haha=) Oh well, LIFE IS FULL OF REGRETS.

I have no idea what to do tomorrow. Probably meet JL for dinner.
Ok then.. more updates soon!
GOODNIGHT!
