HAPPY BIRTHDAY to meeeeeee!
Good Lord, I'm freakin 20 now and I'm quite disturbed by it. Haha =)
Nah~ I'll get over it once tomorrow arrives.

Anyway, at first I thought.. "seriously, I don't even wanna THINK about my birthday."
True enough, I didn't! For the last ENTIRE 3 weeks, been busy with school and exams until a classmate asked me when my birthday was. And I went, " oh, its next week!"
Was kinda upset at the fact that my family and close friends wouldn't be here to celebrate with me. Then it occurred to me that sometime in the very mere future, they might not be there everytime a birthday approaches. SO there, I was already prepared on celebrating my birthday alone.

Luck changes.. when you least expect it. My classmates figured they'd celebrate an early birthday for me. So on the 29th, we had dinner.. ( as mentioned on previous post).Then the next day, Ji Yeon's mom prepared me a huge 'Birthday Feast' at her place..so I went there in the afternoon. It was so sweet! I mean, I'm not THAT close to her family and they're going thru so much just to prepare the food and other stuff. I feel bad now.

Today, met JL for the OFFICIAL Birthday Lunch @ Outback Steak House! It was fantastic but the best part was when JL requested some birthday treat, the entire Staff working there came around my table, brought in a free slice of Rasberry Cheese cake and sang me a Birthday song in both English and Korean. haha! =) And then they took a picture of us. I was happy lah, I mean.. you don't get this every year right?

Came back to Sinchon after lunch, hung out at home before heading out again to meet the "family". Came home just before 11pm. Then as I was having my shower, my room mate next door told me to shower fast and come down to the kitchen cause Ahjummah wanted to talk to me about something serious. At that moment I froze.. thought to myself, "Shit! What did I do now??". Got out, got dressed, dashed down.. din even dry hair properly.. Opened the door and SURPRISE! All the house mates were there, holding a birthday cake and singing. I was totally caught off-guard man.

So there we were. Having cake and tea just before midnight. I seriously din think they'd care even if it was my birthday or not. I mean I didn't? But overall, it was a good day. I got calls from mom, dad and jackiee yesterday. Andrea called just after midnight and then Mariah (again) this afternoon. THANK YOU GUYS! Oh, and the peeps who wished me on FB.. I'm preety content. What more can I ask for right? I'm happy lah.

Right, this TWENTY year old.. wants to head to bed. Gotta meet Andrea's pal tomorrow..
Pictures today posted below.. Not much but something!
Goodnight!

Wazzup?!
Just came back from a really late dinner.. Gosh I've been eating so much, I seriously ought to do something about it. But then again, no worries cause school's about to start in a couple of days and I'm all geared up for it.

Odd thing happened today.. I got a call from my bestie MARIAH!! That cute thing.. she's the only one whose got the HEART to call me even if she was bored and got nothing to do. Its been more than twice now.. The rest eh? Hmmmph! Don't want to mention.

So anyway, met up with some of my classmates cause one of them is heading back to his country for good. We ate at some BBQ chicken restaurant.. haven't been there since Ji Yeon last brought me there 6 months ago! Food was good of course, can't complain there. After dinner, walked over to some "community" sport center where we played a game of Table Tennis for an hour. I am so happy to say that I totally beat the crap out of the guys. This reminds me that one time me and the girls were playing ping-pong at my place.. haha! Good times..

Anyway, since it was still early.. we made our way to some HOF bar for some Fried Chicken and beer. Delicious. haha =) Then later I realised that its the 'SEASON OF LENT' so I cut my intake of alcohol to ONE mug instead of the usual. Ate, talked about so many things.. till it was time to head back cause some of them had to take the train home.
Overall it was alright.. wished more of my classmates could have attended. Oh well~

Yeah i know I said I'd post pics of Yesterday's TRIP TO THE MOUNTAIN, but there were just too many so I posted some of it on Facebook. I'm too lazy to upload it here. haha =)
Okay then.. Another day to "look forward" to tomorrow.
Chu-mu sae yo!

Hello hello hello!
Get ready for a long post.

Today has been an awesome day.. got to spend it with a couple of friends in the most memorable way. haha =)
After what seems like almost a week since I've cooped myself up in my room, I decided to head out..get some sun-light, fresh air and meet up with friends. Did I mention I slept at 630am and woke up 4 hours later? Like what's the meaning of this? I was already tucked in by 930pm the night before but couldn't sleep till dawn. Jesus Christ. Anyway, insufficient amount of sleep didn't keep me from my "little" excursion today.

Went out, met Jang-Yeon and MiZhi Unni before lunch time. Took the train to 'Euljiro-1' station, met Faisal and his friend ( he looks weird..). We decided to have lunch at my aunts, I've been craving for her extremely delicious Kimbap so I suggested we go there. HAHA =)

After lunch, walked 30 mins to the cable car station. I was kinda excited cause its one of the 'filming sites' of Kkott Boda Namja! When I got into the Cable car, couldn't find that little message Goo Joon Pyo wrote.. *sigh. Anyway, we got to the top.. took pictures here and there. There were quite alot of people actually. Students on excursions, tourist and even locals..all there to spent the afternoon. Wished I came with my family though, they'll LOVE it! Went up to the tower.. Could see the whole spread of Seoul, really nice view. Mountains, rivers, building etc.. Even the PRESIDENT's Residential Area.

Spent an hour plus there.. came back down, took more pictures. Even got to watch some Historic play of how Korean Soldiers defended their country and King during the Joseon dynasty. It was quite cool actually. I'm amazed at how long Korea's history is. haha =) After 4 hours at the top of Mt.Namsan, time to head back. Took the cable car back..

Faisal and his friend had to leave first so it was just me and the girls. The logic thing to do at that time was to shop right? SO WE DID! haha =) I bought so many things related to Kkott Boda Namja! hahaha =) Got Jackiee her 'Boys over Flowers OST Cd PART II'.. Mom told me not to mail it so I guess she'll only receive it when she gets here in two months. I can't make use of it cause I don't have a CD drive in my Notebook and I don't have a CD player. BUMMER. Bought myself some top which I think looks adorable.. I'm so pleased. Got home just before dinner.. been busy editing and uploading pictures eversince.

Okay.. I'm done. I feel so sleepy right now. I'm gonna post the pics of NAMSAN TOWER tomorrow. For now, enjoy viewing the things i bought! MUAAHAHAHA.. =) GOODNIGHT!

화분


멀리서 멀리서 멀리서 그대가 오네요
이 떨리는 마음을 어떻게 말해야 하나요
그댄.. 처음부터 나의 마음을 빼앗고
나을 수 없는 병을 내게 주었죠
화분이 될래요 나는 늘 기도 하죠

난 그대 작은 창가에 화분이 될께요
아무 말 못해도 바랄 수 없어도
가끔 그대의 미소와 손길을 받으며
잠든 그대 얼굴 한 없이 볼 수 있겠죠
멀리도 멀리도 멀리도 그대가 가네요
떨어지는 눈물을 어떻게 달래야 하나요

그댄..처음부터 나의 마음을 가졌고
나을 수 없는 병을 앓게 한 거죠
화분이 되고픈 나는 늘 기도하죠

난 그대 작은 창가에 화분이 될께요
아무 말 못해도 바랄 수 없어도
가끔 그대의 미소와 손길을 받으며
잠든 그대의 얼굴 한 없이 볼 수 있겠죠


난 그대 작은 창가에 화분이 될께요
아무 말 못해도 바랄 수 없어도
가끔 그대의 미소와 손길을 받으며
잠든 그대 얼굴 한 없이 바라 볼 테죠
난 그대 작은 창가에 화분이 될께요
아무 말 못해도 바랄 수 없어도
가끔 그대의 미소와 손길을 받으며
잠든 그대 얼굴 한 없이 바라 볼 테죠





Oh man.. You have no idea how much I'M IN LOVE with this song. It even got me teared up when I watched the video!
Alex Chu ( the singer) is such an awesome and handsome ( i might add..) person! There's so much meaning to it.. I wished the person whom I hope I'll spend my life with, does the same thing to me like Alex DID to Shin-Ae. Its awfully romantical!

So anyway, I'm at my 3rd or 4th day since I've fallen sick. But I've been taking my medicine regularly and my body seems to be taking effect from it. THANK GOD. If I ever happen to develope fever, ITS OVER.
I'd need anti-biotics instead of normal flu medicine, and I doubt they sell that on the shelves at local Pharmacies. Which means I would have to make my way to the hospital just for that. AND THAT ALONE COSTS A BOMB! So no siree..I make a point NOT to step into any hospitals for as long as I'm here. haha =)

Stayed indoors today.. wasn't feeling too good. Besides, of I were to step out.. I'd probably go MAD shopping cause my fingers are feeling a little itchy ( if you know wad I mean...). Since I've officailly started my school holidays on Friday, I'm gonna TRY to have less fun and more studying cause I feel I need to brush up on my writting skills. Cause they totally sucked during the exam. BUMMER =(
Oh well.. let's hope I do better for next term. haha

Right.. There's nothing more I can say right now except, I MISS MY MOM AND DAD!
Which reminds me, I spoke to them on Skype last night and the out of nowhere they said something so sweet yet weird cause it was the first time I'm hearing it.
My mom and dad told that I totally looked different ( not just the hair) and that I've GROWN PRETTIER since I left home a couple months back.

Altogether now... AWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!

Seriously, I was kinda spooked by the whole thing. But I take that as a compliment.hehehe.. =)
I have to admitt though, like I once told Van.. I HAVE BEEN looking myself at the mirror longer than when I did back in SIN. Its like I din bother at that time. haha.. So now i get, I'm a LATE BLOOMER.
Ok then.. more updates tomorrow!

First of all, its flippin raining outside and I'm currently having the sniffles as well as the cough.
Perfect.

Last night was CRAZY. Since it was officially the LAST DAY of term 2, the class decided to hold one last 'get together' before we part ways.
After school, some of us went home to rest while me, Fais, MiChi and Ja-jun went shopping for the "perfect" gift for Ms Yoon.

Finally decided on making a hand-made card and bought her a bouquet of roses. At 630pm, the rest of the class showed up at the school's front gate. We made our way to some Chicken-HOF house. Had a couple of rounds of beer and soju.
It's all thanks to Mike that my head went spinning when we walked out of the restaurant. He made me try this weird yet traditional korean drink where u pour half a mug of beer and then a shot of soju dump in it, with the GLASS!
I'm suppose to drink that whole thing in one shot. MADNESS i tell you..but it was fun, we got to play drinking games and all that. haha =)

After that, walked 'zig-zagged' to some Karaoke place where we sang for like 5 hours?!
But our teacher couldn't hold her liquor too well, she kinda "dozed" off in the middle. And of course we had fun! Dancing, singing and all that.
Came home at 2am.. Din realise my phone battery was dead, so i just crashed into bed with a heavy head. Got up this afternoon.. charged my phone, immediately got a call from mom who got pissed with me cause she tried calling me since this morning.
SORRY MOTHER. haha =)

Right.. medicine's still not taking effect so I'm gonna watch some telly now. Will update photos soon!

The other side of me....







Its times like these, I feel so bloody 'bimbo tic' that I'd wanna capture it on film. haha =)
I figured since I haven't uploaded any new pictures of my "new" hairstyle. Not much difference right? Just the bangs only.. haha~

Anyway, as usual.. its been a week since I last updated. No accuses is what you'd like to say, but I've been really really busy preparing for the 'already-started' exams. Started exactly one week ago and so far, it din really STORE into my 'memory disk'.
So annoying.. I keep questioning myself as to why the bloody hell do we all have to take examinations? Just to prove to somebody else that we actually went through the learning progress? Jesus..I'd love to meet anyone who ENJOYS sitting for exams or better yet, STUDY for them. Seriously, I'd punch the DAY LIGHTS outta that person. Arghhh..

You're probably wondering why I "sound" so grumpy and all.. reason being, after all that late nights of studying, I feel I din do so well when I completed the paper this morning. Its always the MAIN PAPER that worries me and demoralizes me to the max. Screw it lah, now I think about it.. I DID try my best! So I don't really care if i fail that paper or not. haha =)
Okay, I'm back to my old, happy self! Ran some errands outside, after school. Drew some money out of the bank, got van's SPECIAL present.. grabbed lunch on the way home.
Continued studying for a few hours.. tomorrow's the COMPREHENSION exam. Hopefully i'll do well for it. At least a PASS would do good to me. haha

Right.. just finished speaking to mom and dad via MSN web-cam. I'm like so bloody far away from them and yet, I still receive lectures from them. * Sigh
Parents.. you'll never run away from them. But I miss them of course. I can't wait for mom and Jackiee to get here during the summer! Speaking of which, the weather today was exceptionally good today. I love it! Not too cold like normal days. SPRING is definitely here!

Okay.. done blogging now I needa head back to last minute revision. Fingers crossed for tomorrow! Night!

No one's online today...






Oh my goodness.

This blog is as good as dead. Never updated for a week already! But then again, whose reading right? haha=)

Anywho... Been pretty caught up with things these past week, obviously school's one of them.
I even found out a few days back that two of our classmates quit halfway through the course. One of them, Mark, I could totally understand cause his wife needed medical attention and all.
But the other dude.. "Sang-shi", I really don't understand. Rumor has it that he din like the people in our class and decided to learn elsewhere. I mean like, what the f**k? Just because you don't get along with us and let your pride get in the way, you leave us with a bad impression. And we sit there thinking, did we do anything bad to him? Jackass..

Finally met Ji-Youn on Thursday cause we both wanted to watch that Brad Pitt movie.
THE CURIOS CASE OF BENJAMIN BUTTON. Yeah I know..Like totally last minute, but it was a really awesome movie!! I asked Ji Youn whether she understood the plot of the whole movie.. she only told me this, " I don't really know but I can only tell you that, BRAD PITT is so handsome!".
Hahaha.. I was like "ya? You din know?" =) Funny shit i tell you.. Treated her to dinner at some Pizza restaurant. It was good and cheap too! 20 bucks for a regular pan of pizza and free flow of Salad for two peeps.

Friday, a childhood friend of mine came down from Singapore for his really really long holiday. He's got family and friends here so accomadation does not seem to be a problem for him. Since he din wanna accompany his friend to her grandma's place, he decided we meet up since I din see for almost a year. He looked so different man! Goodness.. anyway, he made me become his dumb tour guide so I brought him around places that I normally go to. Went to Myeongdong, Namdaemun and then around my area for some beer and chicken. He was so sweet enough to buy me a nice top from FOREVER 21. So obviously, to repay him.. I bought him dinner.
He took the bus back to his friend place just before 11pm. Will be seeing him again in a week or two.

Saturday was rest day so I din do anything. Today however, went out to meet MiZhi Unni cause we needed to discuss our presentation for the Final exams. Took us three hours to complete 3 freakin questions. But thankfully we managed to finish it. All we need to do now is get a Korean educated person to look through and see if we've written something LOGIC instead of nonsense.
haha =) Speaking of Finals, its like coming lah.. in about 2 weeks I guess. I suddenly don't feel so good. Just thinking about revisions and memorising all those grammers again makes me nauseous. ARGHHHHHHH!

Why do we need exams? Like seriously? To prove we did something? Don't understand. Oh well.. all I can do now is Pray and of course study.
Gonna turn in early today. School tomorrow.
Goodnight!

1st Day of March.. Good heavens! I'm way too scared to even think about it man~

6 months I've been in Korea. So far, I've learned quite alot. Got to make friends, understood so much more than just studying the language, got to some sight-seeing and all. I've yet to do some decent traveling though, but in time I will when my family gets over here, end May.
My Korean has improved, like I could totally reply back to someone when they asked me a question. I couldn't do that before, back in Singapore. haha =)

So, I haven't done much lately. Been practicing and rehearsing for the school's " Speech & Singing Competition". In the end we didn't really win anything, but we did receive an award for Participation and Hardworking Class. Better than nothing I would say.. haha =) It was fun lah, we got to work together, made a fool of ourselves and what not.

Gosh, I think 'Boys Before Flowers' is driving every sane human-being who watches it, turn mad!
Even my own sister who didn't give a hoot about her Mother's country before, is CRAZY about them now. And she keeps telling me to plan a good itinerary when she gets here.. travel together, see the sights and sounds of Seoul. She wants to head up to the Seoul Tower and all that.Sheesh~
Like, where were you sia? When we went there 7 years ago? Perhaps she couldn't remember. Besides, she was only 10 years old then.

Both Mariah and Jackiee managed to receive the package I sent them. Jackiee's over the moon! Dunno about Mariah cause she din take a good look at it. haha =)
Speaking of which, I got my parcel from Mariah too! Thanks alot buddy! Really love what you got me and I'm sure to return that favourite purple pouch of urs soon.

Right.. school again tomorrow. I hate to wake up so early in the morning. Walking in the COLD weather to get to school. *SIGH.
Spring Spring Spring.. Get here fast please! I'm sick of wearing long sleeves and heavy jackets!

Okay, Goodnight!
