Happy 'MOONCAKE' Festival to everyone whose celebrating back home.. as well as
HAPPY 'CHUSEOK' DAY to all my Korean friends and Family!!

Here I am, on one of Korea's BIGGEST festive day, sitting on my ass at home doing nothing but "studying" the whole day as well as surfing the net on and off. Seriously, this day CANNOT get worse. Was suppose to be at Grandma's on Thurs and spend the weekend there but I tried getting tickets for all sorts of transport, no use. I realize later that people started booking tickets to the country side like more than a MONTH ago.. okay, so I guess I learnt my lesson.
ALWAYS BOOK TICKETS EARLY WHEN IT COMES TO FESTIVE DAYS.

On the other hand, not going to Grandma's is kinda of a good thing too. Don't get me wrong, I love my grandma to death ( Mariah said I was being MEAN..) but my exams are coming up in a week and I've yet to seriously get started on studying yet. Which was why I intended to this next four days of Holidays. We get Friday off from school however, I totally blew it when i slept in the WHOLE entire day.

So last night, I set my alarm to 10am. Got up, took my shower and straight away started studying. Towards lunch time, got hungry but din have anything to eat. The ahjummah at my place left for her 'kampung' on Thurs and won't be back till Sunday, so basically NO FOOD for a few days. Went out to the main street to grab food from somewhere. Jesus Christ man.. DESERTED! No sign of anyone.. no stores being open. All this at 12.30pm!
Its like scenes from 'I AM LEGEND'.. hahah =) Well anyway, the only fast joint opened was obviously McDonalds.. Thank the 'Lord Almighty' for that. Grab myself a big mac, and walked home carrying it.

Got back to studying till evening. Found Jackiee online so we web-cammed. Finally got to see my little cousins LIVE instead of darn pictures. They happened to be at my uncle's place celebrating my Mama's 70th Birthday.. Got the chance to wish her too, which was a relieve.. turning 70 is a big thing I guess. So chatted a while before getting off. But I'm currently still talking to my sister.
Couple of good movies showing on TV now. Shall take a break from studying.. haha =)

More updates soon! And once again,

HAPPY 70th BIRTHDAY MAMA!!
