Check it out.. A friend of mine from school email me this picture of the TV series, "Boys Before Flowers". We've got the Taiwan version, Jap of course..then the Korean and also Chinese version which I was totally unaware of. Could be bull-shit but who gives a damn right?.. haha =)
Anyway, been feeling a little "rough around the ages" these past couple of days. Like I'm starting to question myself, "What in the world am I doing here when others are busy obtaining something more important. Perhaps a degree certificate?". But that's just my head talking.. the heart's not doing its part in agreeing with me. Seriously, am I talking sense now? LOL
Didn't do much these past few days. Its either to school I go every morning, or at home chilling infront of the computer. I don't think I have the HEART to spend more money outside. Haha =)
Oh speaking of school, my advisor told me that I can finish my course at Intermediate level .. that's in 6 months but after I told mom about, she INSIST that I complete it till Advance level. That's like another year plus. I was a little hesistant but after thinking about it, she's right. What can one do with an 'Intermediate' cert when i come back to Singapore? Like so pointless.
Oh well, I'll see how it goes. School work's been getting a little more difficult as each day approaches. Definitely not confident in preparing myself for the term-end exams.. Jesus.
Is LIFE all about taking exams? Sickening..
Okay.. feeling abit moody right now. I'll go stare at the blank wall now..
More updates soon.
Peace-out!

Mooyah!
Wad's up ya'll?
As usual, weather here is as cold as ever. However, it also means that Spring is coming soon.. my guess is another week or two till winter is over! Please please let it go by fast.
It kinda snowed just now, on my way back home from JL's place. Really light and wet.. like RAIN.
Anyway, I'm so happy because I finally found something me and my little sister share in common.
We both LOVE 'Kkott Boda Namja' and we both love Goo Joon Pyo and Yi Jung!! hahaha =)
I'm so proud of her!! haha =) She's finally got her eyes set on something KOREAN for once.. it took her this long to realise. Tsk tsk.
Oh! Did I mention that for the past 4 days since Monday, there have been at least 150 Yonsei Uni students, partying outside where I live? CRAZY man! I thought ONE DAY would be enough but FOUR freaking days? Madness! At first, I thought a riot or a protest was going on cause it totally sounded like it. Then just yesterday, during dinner with the rest of the house mates, ahjummah told me that an ORIENTATION for Freshman students was taking place, thus the noise. And I was like " OH...." haha =)
I just HOPE and PRAY it'll all end by this week.. its still going on as we speak. LOL
So I went over to JL's place after school. Gathered some stuff that she needed help with.. walked quite a distance to the Post Office to send the things off to the States. So there we were, cutting and tapping boxes. That took us an HOUR seriously.. then came back again. Had lunch that she cooked. Extremely delicious! Cajun rice and spicy fried chicken.. Mmmmm!
Hung out for another hour before we left together for Sinchon. She had to go meet her translator for work purposes. I however, took a really fast walk (cause it was cold!) to the nearest CD shop.. finally got my hands on 'HYD-Korea OST'. Not for me though, for my dear friend MARIAH. It came with a really huge poster so I hope she likes it. Cause I DO!!
I'm thinking how i'm gonna shove that poster in the box with the CD and other stuff.
Hmmmm.. I'll find a way soon enough.
Ok. I'm done typing. I'm tired so i think i'll sleep now.
Night all!

Looney moments..
Was online, web-camming with my Best friends. It was quite ironic actually.. we were having a discussion about CHIN-GU in class today and we had to describe them and all that other Jazz. haha =) And then here we were, capturing looney moments on webcam.
So anyway.. school was alright. We've begun "studying" which is nothing NEW to us.-__-
Just started on PART II of the new book that was given to us today. Sad part however, two of our teachers who had been with us for a month plus will not be teaching us tomorrow onwards. Two NEW ones will come in to replace them.. part of their teacher policy thing I guess. Gave our final greetings (Korean style) to them, just before we left class at the end of the day.
Oh did I mention today's weather was a real KICK-ASS cold one?! Dropped like 8 degrees down sia! And I stupidly wore something I wasn't suppose to. Freezing like hell balls. Bought back Lunch after school.. din wanna hang outside so I came home straight. I admitt, din do any studying today.. so many good movies on telly. Couldn't resist! I'd better head back to the Cafe tomorrow like always.. at least I can get something done out of it. haha =)
Right.. school again tomorrow. Definitely expecting crazy weather again like today. So I'm all ready to keep warm on my way to school tomorrow morning.
Till then, more updates to come!
Night night all~

Hi hi!
Currently watching 'NEVER BACK DOWN'.. awesome action movie! Starring the handsome and hot actor, SEAN FARIS! Oh and that Twilight dude was in it too.. James I think?
So anyway, yesterday being Valentine's Day.. I thought I'd head out with a friend since we're BOTH single and don't have dates. Saddening but what to do right? Haha =)
Woke up, got dressed and ready to meet JL at Itaewon. She said she wanted to take me somewhere NICE for lunch and we ended up at HARD ROCK CAFE. First time ever to enter Hard Rock, not even back in Singapore! Had this amazing lunch.. guess I had too much Korean food that I kinda forgot what Western food tasted like. haha =)
Walked over to Brian's shop to get our hair done. Din do anything 'drastic' to my hair so can't really tell. After that, walked back to Itaewon again to do MAJOR shopping. I think I spent almost 100 bucks on clothes today. But it was definitely worth it..
Since we ate so much during lunch, we skipped dinner and made our way back to Sinchon by bus.
Then a few school mates called me up, asked me if I wanted to drink a few rounds with them so I did .Left my place at 10pm, headed to a nearby HOF house.. Totally had fun! Best valentine's day outting. haha =)
Today.. woke at 5pm! Amazing.. I came back at about 2am this morning.. din have breakfast or lunch. That's when my tummy went calling for food so I finally got up. I was estatic when ahjumma made sam-gyeop-sal for dinner! Sat there for and hour, enjoying my meal. Came up and here I am! Better get going now.. school tomorrow, gotta pack my bags.
LATER DUDES!

Okay.. like first of all, I was browsing through some clips on YOUTUBE and then out came Mitchell Musso from the 'Hannah Montana' series.. and DANG man! He can actually sing!
(Oh..and I actually kinda like the song.. haha)
Din think this little "dude" could pull it off in the singing industry but he actually did. Probably runs in the family lah, he's bro from METRO STATION is doing well too. haha =)
Anywho, completed the first two exam papers today. I stayed up all night last night..trying to shove last minute grammatical sentences into my head. Listening exam was up first, I was confident that I'd get the first part of the paper right but when it came to the last page, I think i screwed it. haha =) Then main paper was next. I can definitely say that wadeva I studied last night, came out in the paper. However, not sure whether I'll pass or not.
Tomorrow will be a little easier 'I SUPPOSE'. Reading comprehension paper as well as conversational exam. I think i'm ready for it? I mean, all I gotta do is read the text and answer the questions right? Nothing to study from the text books..
Oh well~
Came home straight after the paper. Was so damn tired so I took a well-deserved nap.. JL texted me a while later, asking me if I wanted to have dinner with her outside. BEER and CHICKEN night.. haha =) I only had one glass of beer so don't comment on that! I knew I had a paper tomorrow so I didn't drink alot. BUT I'M TELLING YOU, once I had my first sip of beer..
Good lord! It totaly send shivers down my body man. Tasted so damn good!
Talked and talked for a couple of hours before I made my way back home.. Studied some more and here I am! Figured I'd blog first before I go to bed. haha =)
Gosh I'm craving for some cake now.. SUGEE cake infact. Dang it!
More updates soon. JA NAE!

Hey-o!
I seriously din get much sleep last night. So what I'm thinking I should do is, quickly get this posting DONE and then 'Hit the sack'. I need rest! I've got my first exam tomorrow and I've sorta memorized 70% of what I'm suppose to memorize.. is that good?
Well anyway, woke up early this morning.. got dressed and ready to make my way to Mapo-Gu where JL lives. Met her outside her place then walked over to the subway station.. Caught up and all, then got off at Anguk station. Reason why we were there was there was this "Exorcism" performance being held at Unhyeongung Palace. Not those SCARY kind of performance, more like art form? Pictures can explain it all. haaha
Hung out there for an hour or two. Even had our "own" tour guide. Actually, this ahjusshi kinda just appeared to us while we were watching the performance. Then he started explaining to us about the whole thing in English. Which kinda helped us cause we had NO CLUE what the hell was going on, on stage. haha =)
After that.. took the train back to Sinchon. Had lunch/dinner at some 'Dak-Galbi' restaurant and it was damn good! I head back home cause I needed to study so there.. still doing the memorizing even as we speak. Dang it! I hate exam periods!.. But then again, who likes them right?
Oh I know! Hermoine Granger from Harry Potter.. Muahahaha.. Lame.
Watch out for more un-predictable updates.. coming to you soon!
Goodnight all... ^_^

Blood's Thicker Than Water.. No Doubt.
내 머리가 나빠서 - SS501
So my dear Aunt, kinda tagged me a few really "ancient" photos on Facebook.
We're talking about the 90's man. At least that's what I call it?
I came across THIS photo, which I've never ever seen before..
(L-R) Jackiee, Darren & Me.
Just look how ADORABLE we look. Innocent kids, not having to worry about ANYTHING at all.. Look at our smiles! NATURAL.. It clearly means we were always thinking and just living care-free and happy lives!
NOW MOVE ON 10 YEARS LATER...
Yeah.. We've obviously grown up.
What it comes down to REALLY is.. I miss them. Like alot alot alot! Its particularly Jackiee and Darren that I miss the most at this point of time. Probably because I miss the chill out sessions, the shopping trips we made. Talking and bitching about AHEM..
Just wished I'd spent more time with them during Christmas last year.. 1.5 weeks was too short!
I'd have to wait probably another 3 months to see Jackiee and most likely a year or 10 months to see Darren. SIGH*
Anyway, went to school a little later than usual. Overslept.
Class was alright, I managed to write down one whole page in Korean about how "my race" plans or goes through a GRAND WEDDING. I have no idea why my teacher gave us that topic.
Oh wait.
Cause in the first place, like almost HALF the class are either married or engaged to be married. So there, that kinda answered the question. I was quite satisfied with what I've written cause the teacher kept agreeing with everything I've said.
After school, made my way to a nearby optician to get my god-damn eyes checked. I'm having serious "blur" visions for almost two weeks now and its starting to affect me in some way. I really thought that my eye degree had shot up to more than 150 but apprently, nothing seems to be wrong.. so the optician said lah. But I'm like, "huh? Can't be eh?".
I forgot to mention that I'm having constant headaches every now and then.. which made my body and mood feel WORSE.
Kinda mentioned this whole thing to my land-lady over dinner just now and she said that I'd better head to the hospital for a checkup incase something might be wrong. She also said that it might be due to 'high blood pressure' or even tumours growing in my head!
Sweet nibblets, now THAT got me damn worried lah. So I'm definitely heading to the doctors tomorrow after school. Mom kinda "raised" her voice at me when I called to tell her about this.
Well.. I would have avoided telling her if I could, but I needed a GOOD reason to substitute the real one if I'm asking her for 100,000 won to pay for the medical fees. So telling the TRUTH would be wise right?? haha =)
I hope everything will go well tomorrow. Probably have to run through a series of tests and what not. Dang it.
Okay, Its time i head to bed now. Getting late! School tomorrow.. oh boi..
NIGHT!

Dinner at JB's!
Hanging out with a bunch of friends,
over an NICE cold beer!
Okay, I do realize that I was suppose to update yesterday but apparently I had other things to see to. Other than that, I have a serious problem.
I'm trying to save money so I can actually, "TRAVEL" around Korea once Spring or Summer arrives. HOWEVER, I've come to yet another realization that I've been spending too much money!! Not my exact intentions.. but yes, I've been shopping almost everyday now and everything I see, I have to get it. Jesus.. this is NOT happening man.
HAVE. TO. STOP. SPENDING. MONEY!
So went to school as usual in the morning. Not exactly my "cup of tea" now cause we're all preparing for exams and I feel that I'm not ready. There's so many things I've yet to understand them and I've only got less than a week! Again, NOT happening.
Dear Lord,
I probably need your kind words of wisdom as well as the confidence and discipline to get through all this, NOW. I seek your up-most support and consideration that you grant me these requests that I ask for. In return, I promise to attend church on time and do the means, necessary. In your name, I pray.
Amen.
Right. After school, hung out at Starbucks for a few hours, to do a little self-revision. After that, made my way to Krispy Kreme and grabbed myself an "Original-Glazed" doughnut.
J.L came in JUST as I was about to sit down and eat my doughnut. Chilled out for a couple of minutes before walking out and made our way to have dinner at some restaurant. Pu-dae-Chigae was on our menu today and boyyyy.. was it good.
I decided to accompany JL to the "community center" where she gave English lessons as a volunteer. Seeing how interested i was, I managed to sign up as a Volunteer myself. However, since I'm below 25, they've labeled me as a "retreat" facilitator. Which means, everytime they have holidays or even just the weekend, I can accompany them as a facilitator and help out. We get to go to Ski Resorts, or the beach if its summer etc. How cool is that?
I get some excitement for myself as well... Can't wait!
Shopped around Myeong-Dong after that. Bought me-self an EVERLAST backpack for school.
See, told I was shopping too much. Took the bus back alone to Sinchon and HOME I was.
Okay, tired now.. I need my ROYAL, BEAUTY SLEEP.
Goodnight readers! ( whoever is reading lah... ) haha =)
