As I sit here about to type out about what I've done today, my room-mate's making a big 'HOO-HA' at the back cause she's rushing to send in her job application form online and she has till 12 midnight to do it. Tsk tsk.. bad time management. haha =)
So anyway, its the LAST day of November. We're about to welcome long-awaited December in an hour or so..
It's kinda sad actually, cause this means we're closer to Christmas and the thought of spending it WITHOUT my family and friends just totally breaks my fragile heart. I'm serious! =P
Got up abit late this morning, but even if I was late.. I still attended mass cause its the First Sunday of Advent! Experienced a whole new way of celebrating First Advent.. too bad I din take any pictures during mass for fear I was being rude and all..
So after mass, took that LOOONNG train ride to Kangnam station. Was gonna find that Express Bus Terminal that my mother was talking about. Wanted to see if I could buy my self a bus ticket to my Grandma's place in advance.. but as soon as I got there, I was LOST. The place was HUGE!
After an hour hanging out at the place, I didn't get the information I needed so I left.
Told myself I need to get the full details from mom so I can go back again. *sigh
Was thnking of heading to COEX mall ( some well-known place in Seoul..) but it was getting late so I figured, I'd head back to Sinchon. Trains were PACKED with people.. its Sunday man, that's why. Bought dinner on the way back home.. TIRED sia.
Oh yes.. so guess wad? Tomorrow's my main exam paper and I'm SOOOOOOO not ready for it man. I'm TOAST! Infact, I should take this opportunity to say that shoving almost 50 different grammatical senteces into my brain is just IMPOSSIBLE for me. I'm serious people.. -__-
I'm dead.. and I'm gonna keep telling myself that. It'll take a MIRACLE to pass this..
Even if I studied for the past week, I still don't effing understand most of it.
*sigh.. Done lah
Ya'll have a goodnight while I bury my "denseless" head into my books.

TYPICAL. J
ust came back home from dinner outside. Was gonna meet up with a bunch of friends but the thought of "hanging" outside in the cold just gave me the SHIVERS already. So I decided to stay indoors throughout the day and only went for dinner 2 hours ago.
*GASP! I almost forgot.. before I continue further, I would like to take this opportunity to say..
HAPPY 19th BIRTHDAY Andrea!
May all your wishes and dreams come true. Wish I was there, probably KICK start the party that your CURRENTLY having right now.. -__-
Nonetheless, ENJOY it alright? Hahaha.. love you!
As I was saying... Are you all wondering why my first word of this post, 'TYPICAL' is written? There's a funny story to it..
I was heading out to Sinchon for dinner today but headed out early cause I wanted to see if those GORGEOUS pair of shoes was still at the shop. So there I was looking around the place when all of a sudden this group of what looks like young CHINESE people came up to me.
"Excuse me Miss, but you look like you can speak English..Can you help us?". Some guy spoke to me.
So I said yeah sure, they wanted to go to the nearest subway station but didn't know where it was. Yeah.. I got lost too when I first came here.. haha =)
Then I gave them the directions. So as I was talking to the dude, the other peeps who accompanied him were speaking among themselves so loud, obviously I could hear them.
"No lah.. I don't think so. Where got so expensive one? That Namdaemun place I think got better and cheaper one you know??".
Second impression? MUST be SINGAPOREANS. Definitely.. I wanted to challenge my intuition so after telling him the directions I just asked, " You guys from Singapore?".
All of them looked at me with some kind of surprise on their face.. so I said, ME TOO.
"Oh! we thought you were American, cause you sound like one."? -__-
What the hell? Haha =) Sound like one doesn't mean I AM one? Jackasses.
So we stood there, about 5 minutes.. asking me what the hell I was doing here, in Seoul.Like Duh?? Study lah.. but how would they know right? So off they went.
I can't believe how Singaporeans turn out to be so unique. Like once the words, LAH, LOR, WAHLAU or LEH.. come out of one's mouth, INSTANTLY you know their Singaporeans. Haha =) I'm proud to be one. Well SOMETIMES. haha =)
Right.. That was one hell of an experience.. And actually the first few Singaporeans I've met since I've been here in almost 3 months! Which I forget to mention this before, I'm the ONLY Singaporean in my school. Well at least for my term.. Unbelievable!
Haha.. ok done. Eyelids are shutting.
More updates tomorrow!
Goodnight!

Honestly speking.. I should be studying right now cause I've got an EXAM tomorrow! But then again, I've been at 'it' since the time I woke up. Reading and flippin pages non-stop and STILL, I don't understand some things. That's what you get for learning a completely new Language.
So anyway, its been raining since morning which definitely making the weather much colder. I'm even stupid enough to wear my top, pullover, skirt, leggings, ankle socks and chucks. WONDERFUL Catherine.. What was I thinking?!
School as usual.. seems like today's the last lesson before exams start next week. And again, I'M NOT READY. Had lunch with JL after class then walked to Severance Hospital for her doc's appointment. I took the liberty to be a good friend and accompany her there since it was nearby.
Did I mention she's got an tremendously HEAVY bag? For a moment I thought I was carrying like a dead animal or something. Then I realised that she brought along a bag of 5kg Cajun Rice.
-__- my goodnes. So there I was, doing somemore studying while waiting for J.L go through a series of consultations and all that. B-O-R-I-N-G.
Then came to a point whereby she needed to pay her respects to one of her school's director who recently passed away. So we walked over to the Funeral Home where the Funeral was being held.
OF COURSE I din go in.. I wasn't even dressed properly for crying out loud.
I decided to sit at a nearby STARBUCKS. Bought meself an Ice Moccha and basically studied again..Gosh the word 'STUDY' is starting to annoy me. haha =)
She came back to collect her bag then took off in a cab. I wanted to head home but figured I'd stay longer cause I was in a really comfortable position. Besides, didn't think the consturction outside my dorm had stopped so ya.
Had dinner before walking back home in the COLD freezing weather. I'll make sure to put on warmer clothes tomorrow.
FACEBOOK is amazing.. don't know why I wasn't IN-TO it a year ago. haha =)
In after sooooooo long, I managed to find all my family members who were either living overseas or have not met them in a really long time. Just found out that I have an Uncle/Cousin living in Australia. haha =)
Right.. This was suppose to be a short post but look wad happened?
I'm done now. Have a great TURKEY day everyone!
Nightz.. <3

Another popular song in Korea. Eventhough its in English.. you can hear it EVERYWHERE.
BoA's HOT man.. haha=) WHO WANTS A BODY LIKE HERS?
GOD.
I'm seriously craving for a nice cup of PEARL MILK bubble tea but this time with EXTRA pearls.
I'd do anything for it now.. haha
Should I just ask Jackiee to send the ingredients to me and I do it myself? Or maybe I should search online and see if there's a place in SEOUL that might sell this wonderful drink. See lah, DESPERATE now..
Anywho, just took off my face mask and now it feels refreshing! It felt so bloody dry the whole afternoon.. must be the cold wind beating against my skin. Pfft!
So wad interesting things happened these past few days? Hmmmmmmmmmm...?
Sunday, slept in the whole afternoon. I did study but gave up after 2 hours cause I was just feeling so tired. Oh yes, still had nose bleed. -__-
Monday, met Ji Yeon after school. Had dinner at some Japanese restaurant.. delicious! Walked around the rotary before making our way to the HASOOK-JIB where the ahjummah was waiting for us. So its official! I'll be moving into the new place on the 20th of next month, after returning from my ah-ma's crib. Speaking of which, made plans to go there on the 9th.. and celebrate her birthday with the rest of the family. I'm excited and nervous at the same time.
BUSY~BUSY~BUSY !
Today. I actually paid abit more attention in class than on normal days..maybe because the lesson was rather interesting and I actually understood what the teacher was saying in Korean. LOL. After class, made my way to Myeong-dong to visit my aunt at her restaurant.
*Sigh.. her SON was there again! haha =)
So I spent 2.5 hours there, had my lunch and then did my homework which he so helped me with! Ee-mo accompanied me to pay my handphone bill and then to the bank to run an OVERSEAS errand for my mom. I'm in Korea and I STILL have to run errands for my parents. PERFECT.
Bought a couple of things at Sinchon before settling down at 'Cafe Pascunni' to do more studying. As the sun went down and the moon appeared, I packed my stuff and came home. I don't uderstand WHY my body feels like crap. Its like my minds working and wants to do things, but just doesn't send the message to my motionless body. I feel tired all the time! And now I realised just today, that when I cough out my phlegm ( ya okay.. its disgusting) there's blood in it!
I think my body's seriously breaking down. Told my mom about it when she called earlier in the evening, she INSTRUCTED me to visit the doctor tomorrow. But like HELLO? In Korea, no such place as Private clinic.. have to go HOSPITAL to see a doctor and get diagnosed. You think I wanna go through all that? And think of how much it'll cost man?! NO NO NO..
I should just get some rest and drink lots of water. Ya, I think i'll do that.
Okay.. done blogging, gonna hit the books again.
GOODNIGHT!

So you see.. the leaves that were ONCE on trees, are now gone. HAHA =)
PARDON my "un-glam" side of me.. 
Busy woman.. haha
CHEESE!
My Very own MAC & CHEESE.. yummy!
Before cooking my ROAST CHICKEN dish..
Taa-Daa!! What do ya think??
Dessert.."Body-less" Bear cake!
Me~Jean-Baptist (J.B)~ His fiance~ Ji Yeon!
Wonderful day today!
Got up at 10 this morning, despite being a Saturday.. Met Ji Yeon again outside Macs at Sinchon Rotary. Walked over to Grand Mart to get fresh ingredients for today's dinner at J.L's place. Its more like a House-Warming party and early Thanksgiving at the same time. haha =)
Since J.L broke her foot and can hardly do the walking around, I volunteered to cook up a few dishes. Well, I had to admitt that I miss cooking after two months living here! haha. So what were the dishes I cooked today? My favourite Mac and Cheese and Two Roasted Chickens with wild mushrooms. DEE-LII-CIOUS! No doubt it.. I din realise I can cook those in the first place! haha =)
J.B and his Fianc`e came over just before the chickens were done. While waiting, we just sat around and chi-chatted. Had dinner..Yummy! Ate, drank, laughed and basically just had FUN. Well at least Ji-Yeon was! haha.. She really did enjoy herself since it was the first time I introduced her to my classmates. Washed up for J.L then left at 1030pm with J.B.. Me and Ji-Yeon took the bus back to Sinchon..still talking non-stop about things we want to do in the mere "FUTURE".
Send her off to her bus stop, just outside my place. Came home.. shagged and sleepy. Oh! And then my nose started bleeding like crap. Thank God dad was online cause I din really know wad to do. Haha.. I think I got mom worried there for a minure. So according to dad, my body's a little heaty so that's wad caused it I guess.
Right.. I think I'm done now. I ought to get some rest now..
GOODNIGHT!

Hello!
I know.. its been DAYS since I last updated. Thank You very much, Van and Mariah for letting me know that I wasn't "responsible" enough to do so. >_<>
Anyway, I've witnessed an amazing thing today! I've experienced SNOW for the first time in my life!
Ya okay, for those who've seen it already, "Whoopee" to you.. but this is not about YOU!
I've never encountered this before in my almost 20 years of living and now that I've gotten this wonderful chance, I'd APPRECIATE it if ya'll keep your negative comments to yourself, thank you very much!
MOVING ON.
Mom called me last night to tell me that it might snow today, so she told me to keep warm and all that jazz. I seriously din think it was gonna snow this soon cause its not even December yet? But just to safe, I wore what I thought might keep me warm. Hehe.. =)
So after school, had lunch at the cafeteria with J.L since she couldn't really walk and all with that broken ankle of hers.
I was sitting just opposite the HUGE window where i could see "everything" outside. I couldn't stop telling J.L how much I thought I'll die during winter cause its soo freakin cold. Then all of a sudden, I saw "particles" flying around outside and I thought to myself,
"What the hell is that? Someone burning paper or what?".. And J.L turns around to see what the fuss was about. "Oh my Goodness! Its bloody hell snowing!"
I was like.. "HUhhhhhhhh?!". Haha.. funny shit I tell you.
Well anyway, I waited till we were done eating and then send J.L off in a cab. That was when I actually took the time to feel it and see it for the first time.
How can I describe it? First of all, I din expect it to look that way? haha.. Its like ice-shavings falling from the sky. AH!! More like ice-kachang ( the ice..) ! That's the perfect way to describe it. haha =)
Mom told me to make a few wishes so i did at the BUS STOP! Another funny thing.
Took the bust to town. Did some financial errands at the bank before making my wy to my favourite cafe. STARBUCKS! Bought myself an AMERICANO, sat down and literally studied my ass off for 4 hours. Went I realised it was getting dark.. bought dinner from burger king before walking back home in the COLD, shivering weather. Oh ya.. it only snowed for an hour but more will come! haha =)
Just realised that someone's birthday is well on the way.. and I'm not there to CELEBRATE with her! Dang it.. Must remember to send my well wishes to her.. haha =)
Ok I'm done. School tomorrow then its the weekend! Going out for some girl time with Ji Yeon and "Olivia" tomorrow night!
Till then, GOODNIGHT!
* Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow.. =)

An nyeong!
Bored stiff right now.. Room mate's already sleeping at this time! Amazing..
Normally she'll be "gallivanting" outside till DAWN on weekends. Wonder what's got into her??
Oh well~
So sleep was good last night. No one disturbed me, (except for that darn construction outside).
No school of course.. Thank God! Don't get me wrong, I'm LOVING school.. but waking up at 7:30am EVERYDAY, ain't so much of my thing. HAHA =)
Got up at 1pm ( surprised?) got dressed and went out to meet Ji-Yeon at the main gate. Had lunch with her first before making our way to the HASOOK JIB to meet the family that i'll be staying with during the next year or so.
So ya..after discussing whatever that needed to be discussed, I "MIGHT" move in with the family 1st week December. This should be good i think?
Since Ji-Yeon needed to leave early for an interview at school, she left. I walked round Sinchon finding some cosmetic-foundation cream that my mom told me to get for her.. MAFAN
Haha.. did I mention it has been raining the whole day today? Which made the weather SUPER cold today? haha =) But I think I'm getting used to it lah.. LOL
Cup-Noodles for dinner. I ain't coomplaining. haha
Done lah.. I'm getting sleepy too.
More updates soon!

Gosh.. My throat hurts so much right now. Getting sick again..damn it!
Went to school in the morning as usual. Finally got back my essay and I've got little mistakes in it. YAY!
Its all thanks to Ji Yeon of course, who made all this possible. Now the only question in my mind, is who will my teacher pick out for the speech competition next week? So, my teacher is gonna make each and every one of us read their essays infront of the class tomorrow morning. SHIT.
That just made my day man.. perfect!
Bought some medicine from a nearby Pharmacy..before buying lunch and then heading back home.
Watched a couple of movies online.. MADAGASCAR 2 was good and funny! haha =)
Oh and since THANKSGIVING is well on the way, did some research online on what to cook for J.L's party next Saturday. I'm thinking of making Chicken and spinach Cassarrole..
SPEAKING of J.L... I just got off the phone with her and heard the most shocking news!
She broke her foot this afternoon at Sinchon Rotary and was taken to the hospital by a passerby. SO unfortunate.. but thank God she din break her whole leg. So she's in a cast now, might not turn up for school tomorrow.
Rest well, my friend!
Right.. I think I'm done now. More interesting updates soon yea?
GOODNIGHT!

The wheels of the bus.. go round and round!
Ain't that BEAUTIFUL?
I have NO IDEA why I took this.. Probably the trees?
So putting on LIP GLOSS does make a difference. haha =)
Had JA-JANG MYEON at this Chinese Restaurant.
Me
Her..I'm angry, frustrated and basically just HATE myself at the moment.
Why did I not see where I was scrolling and just click it?! Urghh...! If you must know why i'm like this, is because ALL my songs in my ipod have been WIPED OUT!
WHY?!?!?!
I took almost 10 months to put in songs and now all 1000+ of them are gone, vanished, disappeared! My God.. I still can't believe it.
Oh well, guess i'll have to take both my Saturdays and Sundays to get it uploaded again. *sigh
Anyway, totally forgot to update blog YESTERDAY. Been busy cleaning my room, right after I came back and thus, forgetting it.
So yesterday, went out with J.L after school. More like I helped her actually.. She was moving to her new apartment and she needed some help with the packing and moving.
First went to the new apartment to check out the place and then collecting the key.
DANG.. I wished I had my own place. Her apartment was awesome! A kitchen, a huge bathroom and a reasonably small bedroom. Who wouldn't want that right?
Back to Sinchon by bus, went to her previous place to pack and load the bags into the car that she borrowed.
Waited for her friend to arrive and then send us to the new place at MAPO-GU. Helped her unpack abit then decided to head out for dinner.
She was so sweet enough to treat me to a bowl of delicious JA-JANG-MYEON and Dimsum that we had a Chinese Restaurant.
Since it was getting late and all, caught the bus back and made my way home. TIRED.
Today, accompanied her AGAIN to the hairdressers. I got my fringe cut shorter and a little trim too.
Initially, I wanted to get BANGS? But the stylist said it doesn't fit my facial features so obviously I listened to him. He's a great guy I must say, Brain-shhi! But he says I have to call him OPPA next time.. haha! Hilarious. That'll be a first.
Home again after that. Dinner was so-so.. Did I mention I miss home food? I don't mean my mother's.. I'm talking about LOCAL SINGAPORE food. Dannngg..
I'd do anything to get information on whether there's at least ONE place here in Korea that sells Singapore Food. ANYTHING!
Haha.. okay. School again tomorrow. More updates if i can!
Goodnight!

This is AUTUMN..
GINORMOUS shoe!
Ladies..
It's been a while since I smiled with my teeth showing! haha ..=)Hello!
Its the end of the week already... My goodness! Right.. so the pictures were taken yesterday when I went out with Ji Yeon for lunch.
Desperately had to meet her because I needed help in writing my essay. I managed to draft it in English first before getting Ji Yeon's assistance in translating.
We lunched at some Korean restaurant that made SUPERB Soon-Dae Guk! Its like this stew thing lah.. Fantastic!
After which, we walked around I-TAE area. Bought myself a bag and a hat which cost me about 20 SGD altogether. Worth every penny man.. but I seriously need to stop shopping and start saving! haha =)
Hung out at Coffee bean for two hours, finishing up the essay. It was getting dark and Ji-yeon needed to head back for her family gathering thing, so we parted.
I stayed up all night/morning in my room, watching ALL ABOUT EVE online. I just love that drama! Even if I watched it like 10 times.. Now I wished the love of my life will be exactly like the lead actor's character. *sigh.. DREAM ON
Oh ya.. was talking to a dear old friend of mine. Was so happy to be able to talk to her after so long. Lucky for her, she's working and earning her bucks. Has a boyfriend whom she's totally in love with and who treats her like a bloody princess! ENVIOUS of course..
And then she asks me this question that I myself haven't been able to solve it for quite some time. WHY DON'T I HAVE A BOYFRIEND? And trust me, she's not the only one asking me that question.
Its not like I don't one want.. who doesn't?
I just simply don't have the time and I'm out of candidates. HAHA!
So if any one wants to match-make me, please feel free to do so once I'm done studying in Korea and make my way back home to Singapore, which is in 2 years?
Till then, I don't intend to have one. haaha.
Hmmmmm... I think I remembered saying that before.. haha!
RIGHT MARIAH and VAN? Lol..
Alright.. school tomorrow. Gonna turn in early.
Goodnight!

Pretty LIGHTS!!
JodiLynn (J.L) and myself..
By the Fountain..
JodiLynn..
Cheese!
The Night Life..!TIRED.
Yeap.. my feet hurt so bad from all the walking me and J.L did this afternoon till evening.
So anyway, school as usual in the morning. Felt much better than yesterday when all that headache was going on before. Pheww! Well, thank GoD its Friday! Get to sleep in late and get up late.
HOWEVER, my homework for the weekend? I'm suppose to write out a 1 to 1.5 page essay about anything. Entire essay must be hand-written in Korean.. WHY?!?!
I don't think I'm ready for this.. haha =)
After school, decided to catch a movie with J.L at MEGABOX near Ewha University. The movie, 'Quantum Of Solace' is pretty good! Despite the fact that I din watch the first one, CASINO ROYALE. There's loads of action to it..
We didn't wanna hang out at Sinchon so we took the train to ITAEWON. The place is more for foreigners/tourists. Many gift shops as well as clothes for PLUS SIZE peeps like myself.
I'M AMAZED at how many pretty clothes they have here.. so obviously I bought some. A jacket, sweater, another smaller Jacket and a top/dress. Price is pretty reasonable.. I'm happy with what I bought.
Then off we went to Myeongdong to have dinner Emo's restaurant. Place was pretty packed but emo managed to take some time to talk to me.
Ohh.. and I met her son! Ahem.. Handsome fella, don't know why I can't remember his face when we were younger. He speaks AWESOME English.. even J.L thinks he's cute.
* Get to know more about him Catherine.. haha =)
Dinner was ON THE HOUSE. Said my goodbye's and we walked out with full belly. We walked it off and took pictures on the way.. Did I mention that almost everywhere is getting ready for Christmas? So fast? Its making me SAD man..
I remember when the time came for malls to decorate for Christmas, I'll already be in the mood and won't stop singing Xmas Carols to Mariah. haha =)
Where IS the woman by the way..? Oh well..
We kinda walked around Namdaemun Market but like a small street? It was getting late so we headed back to Sinchon. Was talking to mom and dad on my cell, while walking home. I miss them like CRAZY!
Another full day ahead tomorrow. Most of which I'll be busy getting my essay done. Pfft!
What a way to start my weekend. But on a LIGHTER note, Ji-Yeon's coming over to help me with the translating and then we're off to do some shopping! Yay.. can't wait!
Gonna turn in now.. GOODNIGHT!

This is the Auditorium Room..
(WONDER BOYS..)
After 11 seconds.. the Camera went off.
Hehehe..Hi Hi Hi..
Okay, I know I promised ALOT of pics. But when I took out my camera to actually SNAP some, my batteries went dead and I din bring any spares.
WOOPS! My bad.. haha =)
Well anyway, I did get some deserved sleep last night ( thank God..).
Panadol must have definitely worked HOWEVER, my head kept throbbing throughout class this morning. Seriously had no mood to study. Plus when we had to read some passage together as a class, this ONE particular person just HAD to read ahead of us.. which makes it so unpleasant to hear and making my headache worse.
1 hour before school ended, all of LEVEL 1 classes had to make our way down to the Auditorium room for "singing classes". YEAP, that's right.. don't ask my why. haha =)
So there we were, practicing A-RI-RANG, I LOVE YOU ( both Korean FOLK songs..) and NOBODY by Wonder Girls.. After which, one student from each of 5 classes had to come on stage to sing the song. haha. FUNNY SHIT. Well I enjoyed alot cause I just sat there laughing. haha.
Came home RIGHT after school ended. Took like an 2 hour nap cause I felt tired. Got up, got online and started sending out emails to various people who are renting out rooms. Just finished the remaining homework I had.. GOSH.. Still feeling tired.
GONNA go off now.. I need my "beauty" sleeep!
More updates tomorrow.

Alright.. so CONGRATULATIONS to Barack Obama who won the election and will be America's First African-American PRESIDENT!
I've been catching up on the news about the election and his campaigns are pretty tight! Question now is whether he'll keep his word about making changes for the good of American Citizens. We'll see.. oh ya, So I guess its SAYONARA to George Bush. Bye bye! haha =)
It was kinda crazy at school this morning. First of all, everyone ( the americans..) were all hogging at the lounge where a TV was set up so that they can watch the LIVE telecast of the election. When class started, my classmates as well as one's from next door.. pushed themselves against me, catching a glimpse on my ipod's internet. Sheesh.. haha =)
After school.. had lunch with J.L and Mike down at the local restaurant. At this rate, I'm really missing food from SINGAPORE. The chicken rice, the fried carrot cake, MEE REBUS! Been craving that since Monday. My God.. I'm suffering again.
Made my way back to my dorm after buying some stuff from the convenient store.
Studied for a while before chilling downstairs with a bunch of people who were obviously talking about OBAMA. Like enough already.. haha =)
Gosh I'm feeling so shagged right now. Sleep was totally insufficient last night. Idiotic roomate kept creating un-necessary din at 2 am this morning. Sheesh..
Told myself that it'll be a month before I move out. Which reminds me, might start looking for another place to stay next week! Gotta do this like PRONTO man..
Right.. I popped some aspirin earlier cause I was having a massive headache. Looks like the drug's kickin in. Gonna retire now. More updates tomorrow!
Ja NaE!

I wanted so much to take pictures of the beautiful 'Autumn' scenery on Campus but as usual lah, forgot to bring my cam. Why am I such a doucebag? haha ..=)
Trees have definitely turned from bright orange to yellow. Leaves are EVERYWHERE as you walk on that pathway. *sigh..
I wish mom could have seen this and experience autumn-winter all over again. Did I mention that its been 20 odd years since she touched or saw snow? Yalah.. she's afraid. Excuses -___-
Anyway, went to school this morning. Finally got back my exam results, all 4 papers.
Calculated my average percentage and I only managed to get 85%. DANG.. I know I can do better, which is why I'm gonna work extra hard for the Final exam.
AJA AJA FIGHTING!
After school, rushed back home to dump my books and grab my mom's bank book (actually, its her savings but under my name. Shouldn't it be mine?? haha )
Took the bus to main district. Went two banks to get the bank books updated.
God.. i seriously need to ask daddy to send some KA CHING before I go broke and suffer.
Before heading back, dropped by the supermarket to buy some cup noodles and other things like milk and cereal. Walked back home, tired and hungry.
Was talking to Andrea just now. Poor girl, after all she's been going through.. I wish I was there to give her a bear hug and help her get through this in one piece.
Let's hope she does the right thing and at least take SOME of the advice I gave her.
Hang in there buddy! haha =)
Right.. my time here has come to an end. I hope there's more to update tomorrow. Till then.
GOODNIGHT!

They say good things take time..
OH MY GOD.
We're in the month of NOVEMBER now. Freeeaky?!
This got me thinking..I seriously MISS the company of my Best Friends! Reason why I 'suddenly' brought up this issue is because I'm back to being all alone and bored with NOTHING to do.
I was suppose to meet Ji Yeon and Olivia yesterday but they couldn't make it at the very last minute due to a prior engagement elsewhere.
So I was stuck at home. Worse part was when the entire dorm building had to go thru a 9 hour cut off water supply. MEANING.. no water from 9 am to 6pm.. IT WAS HORRIBLE! I woke up at 12pm, and I couldn't even wash my face or brush my teeth. Ewww.. worse experience. But then again, THANK GOD my meeting with the girls was postpone.. I seriously had to shower yesterday but obviously couldn't.
Anyway, talk about today.. WAIT. THERE'S NOTHING to talk about! hahaha =) Well, at this rate.. I HOPE and PRAY that my besties could fly here during their holidays.
Mariah Yamaguchi! You promised ah.. I'll go nuts when you come! So don't dissapoint me! We'll go shopping, go to that 63 Builiding.. JEJU island! Sight seeing.. boys too! haha =)
Right.. so other than all that BORING stuff, I'm sorta done with the exams. Tomorrow's my FINAL paper, which is reading. So I did my 3 hours of reading practice today... hopefully all goes well tomorrow and then its FREEDOM! No holidays though... -___- Pfft!
What kind of school system is this?? LoL..
Ok i'm done now.. RISE and SHINE early tomorrow. Better hit the sack now.
GOODNIGHT!
