HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!
It's weird that I even "celebrated" Halloween, early this MORNING.. with my classmates.
We were all trick-or-treating, going in and out of classrooms to receive candy.. Never done that, even back in Singapore. Hahaha.. I think we call it, ALL SAINT'S DAY?
Ya wadeva..
ANYWAY, it was raining this morning! Which made the weather so much colder. They call it, WET-COLD morning. Dang man...I was shivering like hell. And I just don't understand WHY the entire school felt so cold. What's the heater for man?? Jesus..
Sat for two exams today. One in the morning and the other at night. First paper was a little tricky but I should think that I pulled it off. FINGERS CROSSED!
After school, had lunch with J.L and Mike ( not my classmate.. another one) at the Main campus cafeteria. I felt so tired so I decided to head back to my place after eating. Before that, Mike gave me Huge packet of mini SNICKERS so I'm currently FEASTING on them now. Its not everyday that u get to eat chocolates for FREE! Hahahah..
* Sugar is getting to me.. LOL!
So instead of partying outside like what most of the people here are doing, I decided to lock myself up in here. My laptop is all I need baby...
I mean HONESTLY speaking.. HALLOWEEN is just that "special" time of year, where the girls could dress up SLUTTY and the guys.. hmm? PLAIN STUPID? haha.. Agree?
TOMORROW however, I might go out and enjoy myself cause its 'DRINKING SOJU' with the girls. yeah~ Can't wait! Might do a little shopping too.. which reminds me, I spent 35,000 Won on 3 different clothings yesterday.. so worth the money man! Definitely heading there again to get more! haha =)
Two people whom I love so much called me today. Mom of course, is one of them.. then there was MARIAH! I miss that bundle of nonsense-laughter girl..
Cat: Yo-Bo-Sae-Yo? ( hello in Korean..)
Mariah: Uh... Is Catherine there?
Cat: Yeah, Whose this??
Mariah: Oh my God.. You forgot!!
Cat: Oh MARIAH! *screams!
So we talked for 20 minutes?. Gave her an insight of the recent happenings here. I was sooooooo happy to hear from her after a week not knowing where she was or wad she was doing. SO SHE'S ALIVE. haha
Right.. I'm gonna catch up on some sleep now. TGIF!
Enjoy ur weekend people!
Trick or treat,
Smell my feet..
Give me something good to eat,
If you don't, I don't care..
I'll Pull down your UNDERWEAR!

Sweet Nibblets! ( Texan accent..)
Hey all? What's up.. ?
YES, I've been missing in action lately. I'm not gonna LIE, I've been pretty busy..preparing for the Language exam which begins TOMORROW. Other than that, I din have the mood to update. haha =)
So we're coming to the end of October in a few days. Sheesh.. O.o
Did I mention that I cannot 'tahan' the weather here? It's like 6-8 degrees outside. I must have lost my mind when I went walking around main district last night. I couldn't feel my hands man.. its THAT BAD. But what to do? There wasn't any food in my room and I had get used to the weather somehow? At times, I'm so tempted to Ring mom up and tell her to book a flight back to Singapore for me, after Term One ends. But then again.. its unlikely that she'll do that. She'd rather I freeze and suffer here then go back. haha =)
I can't be bothered to type down on the things that I did these few days cause in the first place, I din do anything but attend school in the morning and then bumm around in my room after that, watching HANNAH MONTANA online. Can u believe it? That's how bored I am.. Pfft!
*Everybody makes mistakes, everybody has those days.. haha =)
Today however, went to school as usual.. Sat for a mock exam in the afternoon.
I'm happy to say that although I din get 100% like I intended to obtain, I got a 97% for the paper. Woopee! Now all I gotta do is make sure I maintain this frame of mind for tomorrow's main Exam. Fingers crossed!
Came home.. flipped through my textbooks till I had enough of it. Decided to go online and blog.. so here I am.
Check out the Video! Super cute.. Mitchell Musso( boy in blue tee..) is one talented kid and funny too!. haha =)
I'm going off now.. FREAKIN FREAKIN FRESH!..

I just realised that I have these pics but din upload them.. haha =) These were taken at Central Seoul at the same Palace I went before.. "Changing of The Royal Guards".
ENJOY!
Come any closer, and yield my sword at you!..
ATTENTION!
That Little Nun's Lost her WAY!
Cool eh? Ur eyes ain't fooling you. Its a REAL work of ART. =)Hi..
Day TWO of non-stop rain. Din see a glimpse of LIGHT when I walked to school this morning.
Of course, with the rain and all.. it totally makes the weather even COLDER than usual. (It's now 10 degrees outside..)
Seriously, If I knew it was gonna be this cold.. I could have worn something warmer.
Freezed my butt off today.
Class was alright. Got another test to sit for TOMORROW. So last minute! Pfft!
J.L asked me if I wanted to move into the same boarding house with her and I think I might consider, now that I'm a little hesitant as to whether I should continue staying at I House. I just don't feel comfortable here. PLUS, with all the construction going on?? Who would like it?
So I told JL to check the place out for me before I make official discussions with my mom.
Speaking of mom, I just got off the phone with her. Seems like everything's good at home.. with Jackiee and all. But then when mom mentioned that Dad wasn't feeling well, got me damn worried. Started to cry a little actually.. Should I even mention this here?
All I can say is.. I've been having dreams lately about my dad and their kinda freakin me out.
I hope nothing's wrong with him and that he comes home SOON and get some rest.
I should seriously email him or I'll never feel at ease.
Did studying most of the time today, after school. But the weather was too cold that I think my brain's frozen too. Yeah right.. excuses! haha =)
Okay.. Bet time now. More updates tomorrow!
Missing everyone back home!

Hand me some SLEEPING PILLS!
Greetings earthlings!
I thought I might get this done, before I forget and then hit the sack. ^-^
Last night was THE WORST sleep I ever got since I moved in here. First of all, room-mate comes in at wad.. 3 in the morning? Makes a din while coming in.. then she turns on her table lamp, shined it towards my direction and started studying. Eh like that, turn on the ceiling light lah.. No difference?! And then, she decides to have her REALLY early breakfast at 430am? @&(*&$%#(@!
Bloody smell of anchovies and kimchi reeked the room! How the hell does one get some sleep when all this is happening? To top that off, i got up at 6am just to open a little bit of the window since I felt stuffy and all. Wah seh.. just 30 mins after I opened it, fuckin construction outside started.
Seriously, this is not what I had imagined before. After careful consideration, I've decided to move out.. after Term 1 ends which is in January i think. Mom thinks the idea is good so I hope I'll be able to find a decent yet affordable place.
Today's.. Jodi-lynn's BIRTHDAY! All of us chiped in 4oooWon to buy her a cake and we celebrated in class. Don't ask me for pictures cause I don't have them. Sang 'Happy Birthday' in Korean to her. I think she was happy since she din get to do this since College.. O.o
Came home after school, did some research on Classical Music. All thanks to BEETHOVEN VIRUS, now I'm hooked to classical. -__-
At night, met the gang again.. went to some Italian restaurant where we had PASTA for dinner. I actually spent 20 bucks for my meal today. Why do I feel like I'm regretting it already? Haha =)
But then again, I HAVE BEEN eating rice and Kimchi for a few days now.
Therefore, I would say that the Pasta I had was REALLY REALLY good and that I deserve it! Studied together, at a nearby Cafe till about 10pm. Made my way home after that.. Freakin COLD outside.. Temperature's seriously dropping.
Mother.. when are you ever gonna send me the scarfs? I could sure use them now..
Did I mention I might be sick? Got the sniffles in the morning, now my nose is kinda blocked and my throat feels scratchy. Not good.
Some people claim that if one falls ill, they tend to think about their mom alot. So much that they just burst out crying. T_T
I don't wanna fall sick.. or not I'll never stop crying! hahaha =)
Okay, I'm gonna pop some flu medication that I brought along with me from home.
Try to get some REST.. if that's ever possible. I pray to GoD man..
Alright then. GOODNIGHT!

Hey all?!
Its been like what.. 3 days since I updated? Forgive me.. Its either I was too lazy or simply forgot about updating it. Hahaha..
So guess what? Its been a month since I left Singapore! Fast eh?
But my home sickness is starting up again cause I've been thinking about home recently quite alot. Fuck sia.. this is sooo not happening. I'm most of the time on my own.. cause Ji Yeon has her exams to study for and I din wanna be the reason she "failed" if I asked her out. You know? I'm just being considerate. haha
FRIDAY. I made my way to City Hall to open a Bank account on behalf of my mother. She claims that exchange rate is good and it'll be like an investment for her if she sends money there.Soooo.. Good for you mom.. ^-^
Walked on my own, wandering around the streets till I realised I had no idea where the hell I was?! So i took the bus back to the Subway station.. and home after that.
Towards evening, was suppose to be watching a movie with a few of my classmates but some of them BAILED at the last minute. So typical of them.. Pfft!
So it was just me and J.L watching MAMA MIA at some cinema. The movie's quite good actually, totally din expect the ending to be like that. And PIERCE BROSNAN is one HOT 60+ year old man.. haha =)
SATURDAY. I din bother to head out, simply because I wanted to catch up on some sleep.
I've been waking up every freakin day( since I came here..) at 6.30 in the morning, all because of that bloody construction outside! 12 hours of non stop annoying noises. Sheesh!
Since Grace mentioned about "Beethoven Virus" and that Jang Geun Seok was in it, I spent the WHOLE day, watching that. After studying of course. haha
Drama's pretty alright, especially when your into music. CLASSIC man.. Makes me wanna play the piano again. tsk.. I MISS MY PIANO. T_T
SUNDAY. Went to Myeongdong Catholic Church for mass... Since i rushed out this morning, i totally forgot to bring my camera. STUPID me.. (^ o ^)
I was soo sleepy and din see a point walking around cause I was just in NO MOOD in the first place. I mean don't you think its depressing? Walking around ALONE in a foreign place.. The feeling just sucks lah.
Ya Okay, you might ask.. call out your classmates lah? Sure, if they got the bloody time?! Everyone's busy. What are they doing sia on a SUNDAY? Weird..
So I came back just before 12pm. haha =)
Had lunch in my room and then did homework and other stuff. Did my laundry, cleaned my room ( room mate's area too..) then bummed infront of the lappy, watching remaining episodes to "BEETHOVEN VIRUS".
Speaking of food a minute ago, I have to seriously find a weighing scale here.. My stomach's gone down sia. AMAZING! I've been eating Kimchi and Rice for the past 4 days and NO MEAT.
And I miss having some meat.. i think the last time I had some was when I was at Ji Yeon's place for dinner? Hmmm..? ANYWAY, I hope to lose at least 20Kg during my 1.5 year stay in Korea.
You think can happen? Ok then, I'll make it 10 Kg first.. Starting point! haha =)
Right.. school again tomorrow. FINALLY. .I can do something productive OUTSIDE my room.
Might have to teach tomorrow after school though? so that's good i suppose? haha =)
More updates tomorrow.. GOODNIGHT!

Paint my picture..
If only it were real..that my picture will be pasted on a wall!
Hey hey hey..
Body is having a funny feeling now. I think I'm coming down with either the flu or TOTM. Well I HOPE I don't fall sick? Now is seriously not the best time.
So anyway, been pretty busy today. First off, SCHOOL of course. I tell ya, I was so bloody sleepy in class! Couldn't really focus. Thankfully, break time came fast and I quickly dashed out to get some coffee. MIRACLE that drink can do.. was feeling a little better after that.
Today's lesson was rather interesting, we get to talk more about our respective countries. Like what's nice about the country, what are the "LAND MARKS" bla bla bla..
I found today that, Sud bury (CANADA) has 300 individual lakes. Just that CITY alone. AMAZING!
After school, I headed out to Sinchon Station. Before that I grabbed a burger from KFC on my way there. Took the train to O-MOK-KYO Station (sounds like Singapore's ANG MO KIO) which reminds me, I'm kinda getting used to the trains here. EASY ACCESS man..
Took that 15 minute walk to the Seoul Immigration Office. Finally collected my passport as well as the ALIEN REGISTRATION CARD. Then headed back again to Sinchon.
Made a pit stop at the supermarket. Bought myself one-week's supply of food.. so expensive!
Did I mention that I DREAD walking from main district to school? SO far, so steep, and bloody hell tiring! I wanna get a bike license now.. haha =)
I was practically breathless when I got to my room. It felt like I ran 2 km and my heart's racing like crazy.. I had blisters on my feet too. PAIN SIA!
Just got off the MSN conversation with Jackiee. I have to head out to CITY HALL again to open a bank account for my mother. SIAN..
Then after that, I've got a MOVIE DATE @ night with AHEM* ! ^-^
I'm dying to watch MAMA MIA, I heard it was good? I'll be the judge of that..
Alright, gotta stick my nose into my books again. Test tomorrow!
SIGH. Night all!
11:54 PM

OMG .. you're so CUTE! haha =)
Watched this Movie at school today.. NICE =)
You wanna know wad I notice about Korean people these days? First of all, both the YOUNG men and women here are so bloody fashionable.. NO DOUBT man.
Should I start dressing up like them? Haha.. Like that will ever happen!
Anyway, as I was saying.. I've met another kind and friendly lady today. Infact, she's another of my mom's good friend. The most funny thing is that I've not seen her in wad.. more than 10 years? Maybe 15.. Mom was telling me to take some time off to visit her since she( the lady) called her just before I left. Mom gave me the directions and all.. So I thought of heading there on Saturday.
HOWEVER, after school today.. I din wanna stay in my room so I decided to make a trip there. Then I stupidly forgot to bring the "map" that I drew out last night. So obviously I had to crack my brains to remember what mom said over the phone. -___- Pretty easy actually, found the place 15 mins after I got out of the subway. Sort off recalled the name of the restaurant ( that's where the lady works and OWNS..) Peek my head into the glass door to see if I can spot her and i DID!
I seriously din know my memory was THAT good.. So I finally found her! Happy to see her, and she's happy to see me. But she's aged alot man.. that's when I realised how fast TIME FLIES, which is freakin me out actually.
Oh.. and out of the blue, she got me a CELLPHONE. -___-
Like where did that come from? I din expect this soon to get one? ahaha.. So yay! I got a NEW SAMSUNG Phone.. No idea what model it is but screw that! haha
Okay.. i think I'm done posting.. Basically because its almost 12am and I've got school tomorrow. But before i end, I just wanna say how CUTE and HANDSOME JANG GEUN SEOK is.. I'm gonna dream about him tonight.. ^-^
MORE TOMORROW!

FAVOURITE SONG at the moment.." PERFECT SITUATION" by the WEEZER
Why didn't I find them interesting before?? haaha =)
9:18 PM
HANGANG RIVER..Korea's Tallest Building, circled in red.
Ji-Yeon's 4 floor walk up. No elevator..She lives on the 2nd floor.
This is one GARGANTUAN Hula-Hoop!It may look small but its BIG!
See? Does it look BIG now? haha =)That's Ji-Yeon's mom! I call her Emo (Aunty)..
Town Market..Sells vegetables FAR more fresh than in Singapore.
People are friendly too!
So far.. everything I've seen is twice bigger
than the ones in Singapore.
SERIOUS!
Jackiee and Mom's Favourite.
Korean rice Cake.. YUMMY!
Emo preparing food to bring back to my dorm.
Awww.. I'm touched!
Okay.. So I din take enough pictures.. My bad!
When I meet them again, which is soon.. I'll take more okay? haha =)
So since I haven't done MUCH today, I shall talk more about the past two days.
Saturday. Woke up late. -__-
My room-mate must have left for her hometown already cause I saw that one of her luggages were missing and her "best" shoes were gone. LOL
She went back home cause she's got some wedding to attend to? Something like that.
Ji-Yeon called me, told me where and what time we should meet. Then I realised that I had like an hour to get ready? Plus I haven't packed my bags which made it much worse. haha
Bought something for the family along the way. Met Ji-Yeon outside the school gate and then took that 20 minute bus ride to her place.
Finally got to meet her mom and brother. Couldn't meet her dad till later that night cause he was stuck at work. Her mom is such a wonderful person and I really like her! Makes me feel all warm inside.. must be a mother's touch that I missed these past 3 weeks. =( Oh and she's the splitting image of her sister whose my mom's best friend! And then there's Ji-Yeon's brother.. that dude's the same age as me but looks much younger. Is that a bad thing?
DOES THIS MEAN I LOOK LIKE AN AUNTY?!?!?! NOooooooo.. T_T
But he's nice lah.. shy most of the time though. haha
Dinner that night was AWESOME. I missed home cooked food and I finally got to have some.Plus her mom made this extremely delicious beef ribs that I didn't have for YEARS cause mom said it was expensive? Wow.. I seriously was 'blown away' by its goodness.
Hung out with the family after that till quite late. Then I decided to turn in early cause I was sooo sleepy. Must be the cool weather. haha
Next morning, I got up quite early. Ji-Yeon was studying till 3am so I din wanna wake her up.
Chit-chatted with her mom even if she din speak a word of English. I'm so amazed myself. Its like i thought I wouldn't be able to understand her without Ji-Yeon by my side but I managed to pull it off! And continuously kept praising me on how well I responded to her.
Uhh.. it was just, NAE, KAM-SAH HAM NI DA, AL-GAE SEM NI DA.. simple words only leh?
Oh well. Its not everyday you get comments like that.
Went to the Market with her mom in the afternoon.. I'm telling you, its way different than back in Singapore. It's clean, its got fresher vegetables and stuff, and the people there are friendly! Bought quite alot of things..
Then I realised when we got back that she was making a few side dishes packed in containers for me to bring back to my dorm! haha =) How lovely and sweet is she?
Said my goodbyes just before 5pm. I've got to head back cause I've got a test to sit for and Ji-Yeon had to go to work.
Its so sickening to have to walk from the front gate to my dorm. ITS SO FAR!!
I'm also tired of walking up and down steep hills and up the stairs to my room. ARGHH!
We should have an elevator for crying out loud..
Right, I'm gonna watch a movie online. More updates tomorrow!
Good night!
People are friendly too!

PEEKTURES!
Okay now.. To SOME OF you, this may not be interesting. But its a BENEFIT for me cause I can actually look back at this sometime in the future.. IF THIS BORES YOU, do yourself a favour and close this window. The 'X' is at the top right hand corner of your screen. ^_^
This particular street that I stood on is called, WEDDING STREET.
Cause there are sooo many wedding boutiques! This is just after EWHA WOMEN's UNIVERSITY.
NAMSAN TOWER as we know it..
Kinda foggy though?
NAM DAE MUN MARKET
I was so tempted to walk into this famous street but decided to leave till next week when I come here again with Ji-Yeon.
That's CITY HALL Building.. (the one with the clock)
I think Singapore's is NICER. haha =)
That's where the KING sits of course.

DEOK SU GUNG PALACE.. Historical Site No. 124
This was taken outside.
I was a little hesitant on whether I should go in or not.
And I DID! Taken inside.. at the MAIN GATE called,
DAEHANMUN
They were showing some Autumn Music and Performance Festival.
Traditional of course..
There you go.. Behind the stage is JEUKJODANG.
Where King Gwanghaegun, Injo and Emperor Sunjong ascended the throne in that building.
It actually burned down in 1904 but rebuilt a year later.
Ahh.. this one is interesting..
I stood there like 20 mins, capturing the ambience of the place.
JUNG-HWA-JEON
It is the main hall of the entire Palace. Emperor Gojong conducted state affairs and held official functions.
KING SEJONG..
KOREA's beloved King of all Kings.
He's the "dude" who created the KOREAN LANGUAGE or HANGEUL..
You gotta know your History.. haha =)
It reads as follows..
KING SEJONG THE 'GREAT'.
(Second and third lines are the Korean alphabets he created..)

These steps or COURT STONES that are located just outside the Main Hall, indicates which rank of Royal CIVIL or MILITARY OFFICIALS should be standing on during official meetings or functions. The nearer you stand near the hall (where the King sits), the more HIGHER the rank will be.
That's where the KING sits of course. The ROYAL THRONE..
Inside the HALL, check out the Interiors of the ceiling!
Inside the HALL, check out the Interiors of the ceiling!
Previously known as SEOKJOJEON,
it is a stone building used by Emperor Gojong to receive Foreign envoys during the time of the GREAT KOREAN EMPIRE.
Construction began in 1900 and completed 9 years later.
Bla bla bla.. now its a NATIONAL MUSEUM where Korea's ancient art-affects are kept.
Some Fountain.. No name to it! ahaha =)
JUN-MYEONG-DANG
It was once used as a KINDERGARTEN for Princess Deokhye.
It was burned down in 1904 but rebuilt a year later.
Resting feet.. haha =) CAM WHORE!
GWANG-MYEONG-MUN
It was originally the front gate of Hamnyeongjeon. It was moved to its current position in 1938 during the Japanese Rule. It is now used to display space for the Buddha Bell from HEUNGSHEONSA TEMPLE.
Close up..
So there you go.. after this picture, my camera died on me. Could have taken more but..

Some Fountain.. No name to it! ahaha =)
JUN-MYEONG-DANGIt was once used as a KINDERGARTEN for Princess Deokhye.
It was burned down in 1904 but rebuilt a year later.
Resting feet.. haha =) CAM WHORE!
GWANG-MYEONG-MUN
It was originally the front gate of Hamnyeongjeon. It was moved to its current position in 1938 during the Japanese Rule. It is now used to display space for the Buddha Bell from HEUNGSHEONSA TEMPLE.
Close up..So there you go.. after this picture, my camera died on me. Could have taken more but..
haha.. Learned something so far?
10:30 PM
Good Evening..
I am so freaking tired now that my legs hurt from all that walking today. I DESERVE a leg massage now. Unfortunately for me, my sister ain't here =( Where is she when you need her man? LOL
Anywho, went to school as usual today. Just as I was gonna walk up to class, I realized that I left one of my school books at the dorm so I ran back. GOD! It's so difficult to walk up and down the stairs! Bloody hell WISHED there was an elevator! Geezus..
Walked back to school, almost died from all that running. I was panting like CRAZY, trying to catch my breath. Bla bla bla.. went through with lessons after that.
I had lunch with J.L ( my classmate) today at a nearby restaurant. Quite affordable actually, for a big portion. I had TOFU soup with Kimchi in it. YUMMY..
We parted ways after that, cause she had her ONLINE meeting to attend to so she left. I, on the other hand..din wanna head back to the dorm early, decided to do some sight seeing and walking.
INITIALLY, I was just gonna find a suitable bank to open an account for my mom. So there I was walking, walking, walking and more walking and then I realise that I was in CITY HALL.
Yeap that's right. Do you know how far that is? FIVE freakin train stops.. thank you very much!
It was only when I got to the bank and found out that I don't have my passport with me! BUGGA! haha.. My passport's at the Seoul immigration and won't get it back till next Thurs.
So after that careless incident, I thought I might take the train back to Sinchon but as I was walking towards the station, I discovered some cool heritage PALACE owned by one of the Kings during the Great Dynasty.
So me, being a curious young lady.. Paid 1000 Won ( less than 2 bucks SIN) to get an admission ticket and just went in to explore the place on my own. SERIOUSLY worth the money.. Well, to me that place was interesting?! I'm into these kind of things.. I could have taken more pictures but my batteries went dead and I forgot to bring the spares. Silly me I guess. =)
Finally walked out of the PALACE happy and satisfied, took the train back to Sinchon. Made that LONG walk back to the dorm after grabbing some dinner on the way.
There.. that was my day. The Peektures can give you a little more detailed description so if you have any questions, feel free to TAG and ask. ( chey.. like Tour Guide! haha ..)
Done now, updates again tomorrow!
JA NAE!

You know wad really sucks right now?
At times like this, when I'm all alone and have NO ONE to talk to.. that's when I miss my mom the most. haha =)
I'm such a girlie.. I MISS MY MOMMY! Oh, and friends too of course.
Today being another Public Holiday in Korea, there's obviously no school. And since I've spent quite a lot on things yesterday, I din have the heart to spend money again today.
I woke up like 2 in the afternoon today? Did I mention I had a horrible dream about a friend in Singapore, and her entire family being so ridiculously CRUEL to me??!
Wow.. thank God it was only a dream! But it bloody hell felt realistic to me. T_T
Got up cause I was feeling Hungry.. so I walked out to 'Hansot' to get lunch and dinner at the same time. I wouldn't want to head out again at night. Why make two trips right?
Came back, had lunch while doing some CHURCH researching online. I'm trying to get info on how to get to the biggest Catholic church in Seoul. Word has it that this CATHEDRAL has a lot of history in it and beautiful interior. So I guess I'll be heading there next week.
Oh why NEXT week, you might ask?.. I'll be heading to Ji-Yeon's place for dinner on Saturday, she keeps telling me that her entire family wants to meet me. So obviously I couldn't say NO.
And then her mom asked Ji Yeon to ask me if I would want to spend the night there and all. I was like, " Oh wow.. that's nice. Hmmm? I guess its alright?". So there you have it.. both and Saturday and Sunday at Ji-Yeon's place.
Actually, I'm kinda excited? I mean.. I've been WANTING to have some decent HOME-COOKED meal and maybe take a private tour around the city? Her dad's planning it already. GOD.. her family is like so adorable and KIND man!
Oh! And then there's Ji-Yeon's brother whose the same age as me. She told me that he's "SCARED" of me.. haha! Just because I can speak English and he thinks I can't speak a word of Korean. Pfft! C'mon man.. I think we can get along just fine. He's already started on brushing up his English since he totaly ditched it aside 2 years. haha.. funny shit*
Well, I can't wait for Sat. I think I, myself have to start practising more on my Korean. I mean first impression always counts right? So I have to get this right no matter what. haha =)
Right, tomorrow back to schoool. Thank the high heavens! I've already completed all my homework. yay!
I'm gonna turn in early today.. Sleepy again. =)
GOODNIGHT!

Jambo everyone!
Yesterday I had fun and today, I'm BORED stiff. -___-
Haha.. Was in my room the whole day today, din bother to even head out and buy food so obviously, I was stuck with cup noodles for dinner. HAHA.. who am I complaining? I got up this morning.. still feeling sleepy. It feels like I slept for only 2 hours instead of 7?
Class was alright, although half the time I was dozing off. BUT I STILL PAID ATTENTION.. its how my mind works people. I don't show it, but I'm actually doing it in some way or another. Thank God I studied last night for today's test. It was pretty easy, I managed to finish it in 20 mins. WELL DONE CAT! =)
Came back to dorm. Had my 'solo' lunch before bumming around and later watched
'BABYLON A.D' online. Another good movie.. Its not even out in theaters here, WONDERFUL. And VIN DIESEL is hot!! haha =)
Did the laundry in the evening. That took 2 fucking hours cause SOME INCONSIDERATE SON'S OF BITCHES just left their washed clothes in the washing machine and not even bothered to take them out once their done. Geezus.. the people I have to put up with!
Tomorrow will definitely be a busy yet interesting day. School will be a little different cause we won't be having class. However, we're to meet at the same time and then the teacher will be escorting us to some KLI festival. It's the annual WRITING COMPETITION.. word has it that its quite a huge event! There's gonna be good food and music, things to see. Ooo! Not to mention the mini-concert. I guess one could say that its a great opportunity to meet people from different backgrounds? Yea.. I agree. haha =)
So i'm hoping to meet some GORGEOUS looking men out there! haha.. kidding. I'm not desperate. What I meant to say was FRIENDS.
Gonna meet Ji Yeon again tomorrow after school! She's dying to take me out to Dong Dae Mun market. So I can't wait either! INTENSIVE shopping awaits man! Things to do.. places to see! I'm definitely gonna post some pictures so keep a look out for them alright?!
Right..as of this moment, I gotta hit the sack.
Update again soon! Night all.. ^-^

AWESOME day I must say!!
Just returned home.. tired from all the walking, and smelling like BBQ meat!
Went to school this morning as usual. Grace came back into our class so I'm happy to see her again!
So bla bla bla.. lesson was about 'Kyo-Shil' or 'classroom' in English. Learned new vocab words and all that. Which reminds me, I've got a vocab test to sit for tomorrow morning! Haha.. Better revise abit before turning in.
Anyway, after school.. came back to my room to drop my heavy books and then dashed out to the main gate to meet Ji-Yeon Unni! Its been wad? Almost a week since I last saw her..?
So off we went to the subway station. My VERY FIRST time in 10 years.. It was so cool man! Kinda reminds me of the movie "MY SASSY GIRL".. haha =)
Took the subway to MOK-DONG station where the Seoul immigration is at.. walking there was quite a distance but we made it eventually. Did i mention the weather was GREAT today? Sunny and breezy.
Took almost 45 mins to get my 'Temporary Residence' card done. Met cute Korean boys along the way. hehe.. While waiting, caught up with Ji-Yeon. She says my Korean is getting better! yayness..
When all was complete, walked out satisfied. We din know wad to do next, then I suggested to Ji- Yeon that we call Oel ( Ji Yeon's Friend?) out since we're near her school. She was soooo freakin happy when I talked to her on the phone. Later I found out from Ji-Yeon that she's been asking about me and telling me how COOL, FRIENDLY and AWESOME I was. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA..
Thank you.. thank you very much!
Met her at some mall? Din bother to walk around cause it was way too expensive.. It was so good to meet Oel again. She was like jumping up and down when I met her. haha.. Adorable young lady. Being a good friend she was, she took all of us for dinner at some BBQ restaurant.
Words cant descibe how delicious the meal was.. the pictures can do the explaining for you. LOL
Hung out for some coffee at a nearby Cafe.. as always, we always chill out at Cafe's after a good meal. Even though I was about to EXPLODE from all the eating, I still had little space for coffee. haha.. Since it was getting late and a SCHOOL NIGHT, we decided to head back.
Took the bus back with Ji-yeon.. FIRST BUS RIDE in Korea. Freakin fast I tell you. haha =)
Reached campus, send Ji-yeon to her bus stop then walked in.
I kinda got used to the DISTANT WALKING from main gate to dorm. My tighs have totally "shaped" up in some way or another.
God I'm so tired.. haha =) school tomorrow! Just finished talking to Jackiee and mom.
So i guess mom's met my room mate thru web cam. The wonders of modern technology. haha =)
Right.. i think i'm gonna end now. I'm suppose to be revising!
Enjoy the pics ya'll..

Yo yo yo.. How's your weekend so far? Good? Or shitty? Haha =)
I would say mine's pretty alright. I actually went out this afternoon to do some walking and minor shopping. Shopping for what? FOOOD. haha
Got up this morning at 10. Hung out at the Cafe, had my morning coffee while reading the Korean papers. The hilarious thing is, I dunno what the hell I'm reading. I depended on the mini pictures to somehow tell me what was going on in the world. It totally helps! Then got dressed and ready.. walked out of school towards the main district. Had lunch across the school, my favourite.. SUNDAE and KIMBAP! Affordable yet extremely delicious.. Walked further in.. decided to check out this mall called 'HYUNDAI DEPARTMENTAL STORE'.
Soooo many things to see and tempted to buy things. But they were all so pricey man! Ridiculous. So eventually, I made my way to the supermarket. Crazy place.. so many people running here and there, dumping food into their baskets. I managed to get a couple of things to last me for a week! Yes.. more cup-noodles. Its like the only thing I can eat at the dorm? If there was a kitchen, I'd probably cook myself a decent meal like I USED to back in Singapore. -___- WHY WHY WHY..
Went into a couple more shops down by the street. Bought a few more things before walking back home with a huge, heavy bag. Bought coffee along the way, sat in the park near the dorm to enjoy the cool breeze and warm sun. PERFECT weather I might add.. it ain't to cold, ain't to warm either. That I like... =)
Came back.. slogged infront of the com. Web-camming session with mom and Jackiee for and hour or so before I decided to watch another movie online. Some Ashley and Mary-Kate film when they were younger? Currently waiting for roomie to return..
Should I even bother waiting? haha =)
Update again tomorrow!
Enjoy the Pictures ya'll!..

Well its Friday..The start of my really early "weekend".
I woke up really late this morning and I thought of heading out to see the city. Apparently NOT! haha =) I was just so freakin lazy and tired at the same time.. so I'll leave it to tomorrow to do it.
So roomie finally took the initiative to clean her side of the room. Maybe she read my mind? OR rather my face.. haha! But she was making such a huge din, throwing things here and there. Like can't you do it quietly? Anyway, she left just before lunch.. which was the time I got up cause I was feeling hungry and tummy was makin noises. Cup- noodles for lunch.. YES I KNOW, AGAIN?
I just wanted to finish wadeva food I bought so that I can get MORE decent living food the next round.
Stayed in room till about 5 plus? Watched "EAGLE EYE". I'd say that it's a freakin awesome movie! Whoever's reading this should watch it, don't be so freakin cheap-skate and watch it at the theatres. It deserves to be viewed at the proper place!
Oh! And Shia LaBeouf was one hell of an actor. I guess one can describe this movie as a similarity to WANTED? The one that Angelina Jolie acted in? The MAJOR difference is that, 'WANTED' is more on assasinating people and 'EAGLE EYE' is more on saving innocent lives for that matter.
Catch my drift so far? Hahaha.. Just watch it.
Towards evening, I headed out for a nice walk in the park. A little chilly outside but it wasn't as bad as a few days ago when it was FREEZING. Just before headin back again, bought dinner. Rice and kimchi, if you must know.. haha
Continued on some un-finished homework and then chilled out at the Cafe for some coffee.
Ahhh.. COFFEE. The absolute ONE THING I can't live without now.
Its no wonder they say caffeine acts as a phsyco-active Stimulant DRUG. It seriously wakes you up when your feeling sleepy or lathargic. Like me. haha =)
I can have 5 cups of that in a day and feel GREAT! But of course I haven't really tried it.. the most I had was 3 cups.
My plan for tomorrow is to drag my lazy ass out of my dorm and do some touring on my own.
Probably get on the subway and head to City Hall. People say that's where the action really happens. REALLY? I wonder..
I really would like to go, but the thought of going places ALONE just dampens my spririt. -___- I wished my buddies were here.. or my family. And then we could go shopping together, heed each other's advice on things. You know? The usual..
But whatever man.. I'll just try and make the best out of it. Besides, if I don't do it now.. my trip here will definitely be a wasted one. RIGHT?!
So I think the movie I'm uploading is uploaded. So I'm gonna end here now to watch it.

Hey peeps! I was a little hesitant as to whether I should blog or not.. Cause my eyes are seriously droopy now? I've been feeling so tired almost every mofo day and I din wanna take a nap in the afternoon, for fear I won't be able to sleep at night. haha =) Well anyway, I'll be a good blogger and just update.
First of all, HAPPY 19th BIRTHDAY to CHERYL! Wish I could turn up for your Chalet but obviously I can't! Haha.. ENJOY another year of being a pre-adult!
Just realized that its already the month of OCTOBER. Golly, and I've only been here almost 2 weeks? Time flies so freakin fast, you know? Its pretty scary actually?..
Went to school as usual, teacher gave us TONS of homework. To be done over the weekend since it'll be a PUBLIC holiday tomorrow. Celebrating Liberation Day or something like that?
So WOOPEE to me..
Came back into room. *SIGH
Bloody room-mate seriously just doesn't know how to keep the place clean! I'm getting pretty frustrated about this. And worse of all, she came back from god-knows-where at 2am TODAY.
And that's not all people, she brought her friend along with her to spend the night in OUR room. I think she doesn't know that I know.. because they came in thinking I was DEAD asleep and then her friend left just before 730am when I was about to wake up.
PLEASE LAH.. For crying out loud. My eyes may be shut, but definitely not my ears and brain. I could actually make out what they were saying.. SHEESH!
Aside from that upsetting turn of events, everything else was alright. I din wanna go out to town today cause I wanted to finish up on my homework? Yes.. i'm a good student. haha! Just after lunch, was web-camming with Jackiee. She finally bought herself a web camera so we can now hear and see each other! Took some pics too! Freakin miss that girl sia.. haha=) Can't disturb her like I used too..
It started snowing already.. Jackieee turned into a hideous ALIEN!
I've got elf ears and Jackiee's got horns! haha=)
Went down to the Cafeteria, bought myself an AMERICANO coffee. Sat down and started on homework. Came back up again after 2 hours.. had cup noodles for dinner while watchin the last 30 minutes of THE MUMMY RETURNS. Bummed around thinking of what to do next.. Thank God Mariah came online, talked to her for abit.
WHERE IS JACKIEE.. she's not online tonight which is weird? Hmmmmm? Probably studying for exams tomorrow. That's what a REAL student should be doing. Haha..=) I should consider turning in early.. as usual, roomie is not back yet. Screw her lah, i'm not her freakin mother. She can DIE on the streets for all I care!
Before I end this, I just wanna say that Taylor Lautner and Robert Pattinson are two freakin hot dudes. I know SOME may not agree but these are my own comments, I LIKE JACOB BLACK better than EDWARD CULLEN. haha =) Of course I WISHED I had a man like Edward but Jacob's got this additional 'thing' that I can't really describe. haha.. PICTURES!
You two are just TOO beautiful.. haha
JACOB!! haha..
You look 20 something but ur WAY younger than that.
I will be SO freakin HAPPY if you both dated for REAL!
Partial of the TWILIGHT Cast.. JACOB's on the right!
Alright then, Goodnight.

CRAZY
This Song/MV was being played everywhere I went today.. even at the school and Dorm. Turns out that I actually like it!
MC-MONG.. one of Korea's best Rappers. But not the most good looking.. HAHA
And there's this..
Got this from Drea today.. couldn't help but set it as my desktop background! I hope they show the movie here!.. Please Please!Anyway, after I logged off my com last night.. my room mate came back. I finally got to take a good look at her. First of all, she talks funny.. Like something's holding her jaws together and can't really be opened. Retainers maybe? haha =)
So she's kinda tall, FAIR and skinny of course. We formally introduced each other.. got to know more about one another. She's friendly of course..No doubt about that. But who knows, maybe in a week I'll see her REAL side.
She went down to study thinking I'd wanna sleep which is true! I was freakin tired.
Got up the next morning, saw her head hanging over the bed. Weird.. I had no idea how she sleeps, guess I found out already. haha =)
So I left for school first.. Class was great! Duh..
More conversing with each other. Jean finally got his leg cast off.. KUDOS MAN! We've all been asked to participate in some essay writing competition. We were a little hesitant at first but then I thought why not sia? There's gonna be a little concert outside at the amphi-theater, plenty of food and drinks.. and best of all, ITS FREE! So yes, I definitely did the right thing.
Bought lunch from HASOOT eating house. Came back to the dorm, had lunch while watching LOTR 3. Then along came Sarah Kang.. Made a new friend! Talked like an hour, got to know her and all. She's actually from Guatemala? And she's a dentist! How cool is that? haha..
Returned to room, did homework and actually STUDIED for a few hours before heading out again for dinner.
Fuck sia.. I seriously need to go out man. LIKE REALLY GO OUT. Go see all the places of interest. Took the liberty to go online and do some research. There are so many places i wanna go like Namsan Tower? No. 63 Building, Gyeongbuk Palace? Many more.. and not forgetting those SHOPPING DISTRICTS!
*Sigh..
School first, leisure later..
