龙年行大运 (?)

2012-01-26T21:16:00.001+08:00

Happy Lunar New Year! :) Had a great time with my family and especially with the cousins! This year was a little different with my brother having to do duty on the first day, and not having Ah Ma to visit on the 2nd day. After 21 years, I guess some of the festivity has worn off and CNY is just another reason to meet up with family, but then again, we do almost every Saturday... Considering I hardly talk to the 'other half' of the family. Ehhh long story ^____^

Some of our older relatives shared stories from their childhood with us, and although Papa has told us many many stories before, it's still really interesting to listen to. Heh heh. We watched 2 movies over the two days too - 'Journey 2: The Mysterious Island' & 'We Not Naughty'. I thought the first movie was okay and pretty enjoyable although most of my cousins left the theatre lamenting over how bad a show it was. While I love studying cinema and reading up on films, I don't see any point in coming out of a theatre grumbling about how bad a movie is. With critique that is levels below what is published in papers... What good does it do? Just enjoy it, lah. 'We Not Naughty' was good, albeit predictable. Jack Neo's a good writer but sometimes I wish he'd dish out more... New (for a lack of a better word -_-) plots. Unlike most of the people in my generation, I am proud to be Singaporean and love the country so I appreciated how ~Singaporean~ the whole show was, haha.

Also, after doing 2 cinema modules and while currently doing 2 media modules, I enjoy/ed them so much I sometimes secretly wish I was majoring in them. It's too late for regrets so... Hello, Organometallic Chemistry. Time to conquer you.

1st week back at school.

I got a haircut before the semester kicked in and chopped off most of my looooong hair.

Met Shanna who just came back from Korea for icecream ^___^ ... Weird sentence phrasing. She didn't come back from Korea for icecream. Um, yeah you get it.

& she got me the bigbang book I wanted! :)

Met Sue for shopping/eating on Tuesday since I had no classes :3

Weixin's iphone thing that reminds me of a broccoli hehehehe. & I like the title of one of my readings.

Went for the Band auditions for the module yesterday and it was terrible. I can't play the Euphonium anymore :( My braces were giving me so much problems and I have a row of ulcers forming on my top lip right now. I don't know if Prof Ho will give me the module but I hope he does!! If not I'll be stuck and not know how to handle my timetable for year 4 :( Got pretty upset after the auditions but...

Yeah.

I have a feeling it will be a good one.

Let's make it a good year.

We're back from Europe! After visiting Switzerland, Amsterdam, Germany, Belgium and France over 2 weeks. I really enjoyed the trip :) Some of my siblings actually said it was boring but that's just being ungrateful. I just don't get people going on about 'wanting to go home' when we're on a holiday. I understand why my mum was so upset after our London trip when someone had the audacity to complain that the trip was boring... Because it isn't easy at all to plan a trip and they basically play no part in helping to plan it.

We were on a packaged tour for ~10 days of our trip so no planning for that! Which is easy - no need to navigate maps, no need to take public transport. All we had to do was wake up on time and get on the bus... But of course, there were a handful of inconsiderate people which I could go on about forever and ever, and ever.

It's only 9am now and I was determined to stay awake for the rest of the day but the exhaustion is setting in and I think I need a nap :c

^____^

2011-12-20T05:08:00.001+08:00

Hello from Amsterdam! We covered Switzerland and Germany and are now in Netherlands. Leaving for Paris tomorrow. WIFI is scarce but oh well. Long post ahead when I'm back in about a week!

이것이 사랑이라면

2011-12-07T02:13:00.001+08:00

당신을 처음 봤을 때 내 숨은 멎어버렸죠

산소는 충분했지만 알 수 없는 호흡곤란

이것이 사랑이라면 난 하지 않겠어요

당신을 만날 땐 항상 가슴이 터질 것 같아

겉으론 웃고 있지만 언제나 불안했죠

이것이 사랑이라면 난 하지 않겠어요

전화를 안 받으신다면 이 밤 지새울게요

날 보고 싶어하신다면

언제든 당신 앞에 나타날게요

당신이 나를 떠날 땐 울음이 터질 것 같아

아픔을 보이긴 싫어 나는 꾹꾹 참아야했죠

이것이 사랑이라면 난 하지 않겠어요

First off... I'm done with my exams! /happy dance/ Hoping it's not just me, I must say this semester's exams were all really challenging. But we're done with it so... Que sera sera. After the paper on Tuesday, left immediately for SIS because we got free tickets to MAMA! Great way to end the exam period.

Got 'lost' before that though, thanks to the circle line. I honestly thought that well, from it's name, it would be a continuous circle i.e. Harbourfront station would connect to Dhoby Ghaut station and not that both stations were terminals. Apparently not! So I had to drag my unwilling butt to change lines a total of 3 times to get to SIS :( Okay fine, so part of it is due to my stupidity...

Went to attend Ant's film screening at ADM with the careteam on Friday night. All the films were good and I had fun watching them! Impromptu stay-over at my house after which where we played Idol World Cup till almost 6am before knocking out and um, I don't even remember what time they left because I was still sleeping (hehe what's new). I only remember Ant asking me if I wanted to have lunch with them and I replied her with "no, fat". Err yeah.

Finally read the VeggieTales Bible Liqing got me last year. I only read through the illustrated pages because that's the whole point! To see Junior and gang! Hehe. When I was preparing the materials on the story of Jonah for Bible class, I realised I never really knew the whole teaching behind the story. The story of Jonah is very familiar to me, having heard it umpteen times since I was a kid but all I knew was that God sent a big fish to swallow Jonah. Since I didn't have my student Bible with me at that time, I opened my VeggieTales Bible and realised it had a lot of good content. And I love the font it's printed in! So I guess I'll be reading this Bible more often too :p

The Aunties won't be in class with us tomorrow so it'll just be Shona & I teaching. I'm kind of nervous but looking forward to seeing the kids again! Tomorrow will be a fun day ^_______^

{LIST} Korean Variety Shows

2011-11-30T16:55:00.000+08:00

I am a self-confessed Korean variety show addict. Started watching them way back in 2008 and back then I'd only watched shows with subtitles but starting mid-2010, I've been watching shows without subtitles anymore. I especially like talkshows that have games in them (?) and shows with... Missions. I'm bad at explaining but yeah :p And because everybody loves making lists, here goes ^___^

I have recently jumped on the bandwagon of loving to list things out so I have plans to make all sorts of lists and this list of shows I watch is just one of them. Since I'm new to it, I'll list out all the shows I have watched (based on weeklykvariety & Kpopella) as well as the ones I am currently watching.

I watch/ed almost every episode of these but there are times when I skip episodes that bore me. The ratings are based on my own personal opinion but if you want to know more about the shows you can ask me~ ^___^

The Little Engine That Could

2011-11-27T02:25:00.001+08:00

Two more papers to go! I haven't had any papers to sit for over the last 3 days, but I barely did any studying. So on Tuesday (where I studied from 9 to 3 and 8 to 12 wth) afternoon, I was hit with this terrible headache and decided to take a break from studying. After a particularly grueling paper on Wednesday (which I would be thankful to just pass :c), and at least 3 friends telling me I looked tired, I came home (in the rain, too...) with a sore throat and runny nose. Didn't think much of it until at night when I started feeling feverish... Of course I would fall sick during my exams, what's new! So the cold took me down for the whole of Thursday and on Friday I just... Didn't feel like studying. Meh.

Now left with Math on Monday (which I S/U-ed and have no intentions of getting an S) and 314 on Tuesday. In all honesty, though, I feel like my exams are over :p Just because I can't wait to get them over and done with!!! Mummy managed to get us free tickets to MAMA from her friend, so I'll be going with Grace and Kenneth kor2 ^____^ Right after the last paper /pops champagne/

And in approximately 2 weeks, we'll be jetting off to Europe until the end of the year. Woohoo! Is it just me, or did 2011 go by in a flash?!

Back to the books for now, before I take a break and shower and go to church. I'm so bored and tired of studying :c

... I think I can, I think I can, I think I can, I think I can, I think I can...

Studying... Hasn't been going as well as I'd like it to. I find myself staring at my calendar more than my notes. I did pretty okay last week, going to the library to hide in my books for hours. Was pretty satisfied but the past 4 days have proven to be disappointments. I'm so easily distracted :( I just don't enjoy my stuff enough to keep at it for hours.

But what can I do, I have to keep doing it until the 29th is over. Can barely wait.

My parents got me a MacBook Air for my birthday! I am such a lucky girl ☺That's a bad screenshot from the stupid videos we took on a Monday where we all didn't feel like studying. Speaking of not feeling like studying, I don't feel like studying today. We had our last lab session of the semester (yay!) and I came home all determined to study but ended up sleeping my afternoon away, anyway. All because I barely managed any sleep last night despite going to bed early and it's all my storybook's fault! So... Self-declared break. I'm sitting here with my bowl of watermelon scrolling through 3 new fashion blogs that I found. And when I'm done, I will read my storybook and go to bed, again.

Then I'll study. Tomorrow.

Romanian lettuce tastes much better than Butterhead lettuce.

Just sayin'

该不该搁下重重的壳

寻找到底哪里有蓝天

随着轻轻的风轻轻的飘

历经的伤都不感觉疼

我要一步一步往上爬

等待阳光静静看着它的脸

小小的天有大大的梦想

重重的壳挂着轻轻的仰望

我要一步一步往上爬

在最高点乘着叶片往前飞

让风吹干流过的泪和汗

总有一天我有属于我的天

Yesterday I went into a mini panic mode again while thinking about the ~future~. Basically I was worrying about my results and scrolling through Degree Audit and punching my calculator to see how badly I was going to fare. It scares me how I don't know what exactly I want to do in future, how I don't have a clear dream unlike others. Then I remembered;

Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.
- Matthew 6:34

I will learn to stop allowing worldly troubles get in my way. I also recalled PJ's sharing in Malaysia. "God's plan must come first so that the worries don't settle in your heart first and crowd out God's will". I felt so much better, almost immediately.

That said, no, I'm not going to stop studying and just pray hard that God grants me Atkins' knowledge of Physical Chemistry or turns me in to Planck on the day of the exam. I'm going to hit the books now. (I actually said this 3 hours ago).

3rd Wave in Malaysia

2011-10-18T02:21:00.002+08:00

You're the reason I can dream

You mean everything to me
I see You and You see me

And it makes it worthwhile

When my eyes are locked on You

Like no one's around

So! I was in Malaysia from Friday to Sunday for 3rd Wave's Music Rally 'I will be there' featuring Alexander & Brian. The entire trip was extremely fun, albeit exhausting. I barely managed 14 hours of sleep over 4 days and while the adrenaline kept me awake through everything, I could feel myself breaking when I got back. Slowly paying back my sleep debt and feeling much better now, though!

I won't go in to the details of the event. I really enjoyed every minute of my time in Malaysia and meeting Pastor Johnny, Alexander, Brian and the other 3rd Wave members was such a blessing. It was definitely the first time I 'spent' so much time with Alexander in my past 3 years of being his fan and well, I have so many things to say but can't put them into words in my sleepy demeanor. I am just thankful that I had the chance to become a fan of Alexander.

Also had a great time with Liqing and Stephanie! They even got me a birthday cake at Chilis after the rally ^___^ Thank you~!! & thank you to those who bothered remembering my birthday :) If you forgot it's really okay, some of your excuses are really lame. Oops, was that too straight forward? Hah.

Turning 21 is a pretty scary thing.

To do...

2011-10-13T00:55:00.000+08:00

My to-do list before I jet off to Malaysia on Friday morning for the weekend (can't wait!)

Finish this lab report (or rather, get started!).
Finalize designs to print for Alexander's gift.
Print hotel booking receipt & proforma.
Try not to die of boredom in the lab.
Print stuff & buy another sock monkey for monkey.
Decide what I need to bring back from Boonlay.
Collect contact lenses.
Charge up the cameras.
Attempt to study for 314.
PACK MY LUGGAGE.

I think that's all, for now. But it's probably going to take me the entire night if I don't get off Tumblr right now & start writing that report. The flight's at 7am so we'll probably be at our hotel in KL by 10ish. We're not sure if they will allow us to check-in earlier but if they don't, check-in is at 2pm. Press conference at 3pm, fan-meeting at 8pm. Concert is at 4pm and 8pm the following day. It's going to be a flurry of events! Looking forward to the short, short get-away. I don't really have much spending money left so I don't know if I'll get to do much shopping at all :{ Shall look forward to lying in hotel beds and being lazy ^___^ I hope the beds are fluffy.

& Alexander, we meet again! (✿◠‿◠)

---

Headed down to Orchard for the monthly visit to the dentist, which always comes hand in hand with excessive spending along the Orchard - Dhoby Ghaut stretch. Ahem. My power chains are gone and my braces are purely metal now! It's the end of picking new colours to align my teeth with because they are all in place right now and quote my dentist, I now have 'a perfect set of teeth' /cue Darlie smile/ Except for my two impacted wisdom teeth.

Went to H&M again and wow, their stock turnover rate is pretty amazing. Almost everything they had there... Wasn't there a month ago! It's a good thing. I like ^___^ ... But it's pretty typical for shops besides Cotton On. Got new stuff from there & F21 again before we had dinner and walked over to PS because I wanted to buy photoframes.

Just one of those nights where I feel like typing... Typing anything except my lab report. All that retail therapy in the midst of studying for exams is just amazing. I am overwhelmed with guilt now and motivated to study really hard... Except I'm flying off to Malaysia, so... What guilt.

On another note, currently addicted to FT Island's remake album. Hongki's vocals are amazing as always!

날아가는 새를 바라보면 나도 따라 날아 가고싶어~ ♪ And! I just listened to Boyfriend's album with my earphones and woah, it sounds so much better. Lousy speakers are lousy, tsk.

Okay I'm done with my lab report now, bedtime n__n 5:30AM orz

요리사들 ㅎㅎ

2011-10-09T23:07:00.000+08:00

Had a cooking session with the careteam today after church! I didn't do any cooking although I made rabokki before they came. It was fun time fellowshipping and just spending time together :) I always thank God for them girls!

Taught Sunday class for the first time today in the toddler's class (19mths - 36mths). Very thankful for the opportunity but I felt like I didn't do well :( One kid kept crying so the other boys were kind distracted during the lesson... But overall it went on okay although I still think I could have and should have done better! Still, those kids are so precious and I'm really thankful to be able to teach them! ♡

On another note, midterms coming up & I don't feel prepared. Back to studying now, with 내여자손대지마 on replay. I'm addicted to the song ~_________~

Also, something happened today that made me really happy. Hah it's amazing how something so small can make me grin so wide. I'm so hopeless. It'z a sekret 쓋!

Edit: The quality of the pictures taken by the Lumix is so good under sunlight but with artificial lighting the quality... It makes me cringe.

그래도 그래도 결국 그래도 난...

2011-10-05T02:28:00.000+08:00

나도 이쁜 옷을 입고 싶다. 나도 성적이 좋아서 자랑하고 싶다. 내가 하고 싶은 것이, 원하는 것이 참 많다. 그래도 난 다른 사람 보다 있는 것이도 참 많다. 내 인생에서 부족한 것이 거의 없지만 원하는 것이 아직 그렇게 많다. 왜 이런지? 인간는 다 이런지. 남의 떡이... 항상 더 커보이다... 그거지?

내 목표 참 심플하니까 더 열심히 하면 달성 할거다. 열심... 그거 가지기 전에 영감을 필요로 한다. 그 영감은 어디서 얻을 수 있을까?

그렇게 말해도. 난... 행복한 사람이야.

It will rain

2011-09-27T22:49:00.002+08:00

I see people on Tumblr and my friends in America being excited about Fall. I wish we had seasons too so that I can wear chunky sweaters without melting. Sometimes I'm really thankful for Singapore's weather but most of the time I am so bored of it. I wish we had seasons like Fall and Winter so that we could play around with what we wear but then again, Singapore wouldn't be as green with those seasons and I like how green it is here. I don't like how winter makes places look gloomy, sometimes. Still, I never want to live through canadian winters for a long period of time... No thanks. We may be headed for a Europe tour this EOY so I'm pretty looking forward to it! Winter~ ^____^

Had a pretty bad day today :( Before my swim last night, I was debating whether to stretch or not (stupid debate, I know) and somehow decided to just hop in the pool. During the 30 minutes of swimming I was perfectly fine and was too, after. Apparently, obviously, I should have stretched because I woke up with a muscle ache. I can deal with muscle aches though, they don't matter to me... But I slept on my arm last night so it was a double whammy and it felt like my arm was aching from within my bones. I clearly remember lying in bed with my arm in an awkward manner and telling myself it's going to hurt if I sleep like that (I hardly move in my sleep so it probably would mean I would be in that position for long, long hours) but I ignored it, again. Surprise, surprise - I woke up at 7 in the morning with aching arms. It hurt soooooo bad.

It left me grumpy and cranky the entire day. Went to school for a project meeting for Entre but I had no working computer so I couldn't do anything and it made me feel worse. Left early and came back to rest. Wanted to work on my part of the project but my arm was hurting so bad... So I just stayed in bed smelling like Tiger Balm and slept the pain off. ~~Excuses~~.

I felt guilty so I decided to work on the project after I got up and we were supposed to meet online at 9pm but it's almost 11 now and nobody's said anything so... Hmm. Bedtime, for now.

아이디 패스워드 너의 사랑~

Dug out some photos of Korea in my digital camera. Haaaaa, do I regret not taking more pictures! :( Being perpetually lazy, I could never be bothered taking my camera out. This picture is taken in Ehwa Women's University while I was walking out. Beyond those gates would be the infamous Ehwa shopping street.

One of the streets in Ehwa. I miss hanging out at this area! It's actually where I spent most of my time in Korea and it's only about a 10-minute walk from my dorm. It's also where Ant & I met a scary Indian guy who tried to get us to drink with him at 1am :( And on the left of the picture, there are small alleys that lead to a huge maze of shopping, shopping and more shopping.

This was nearing the end of our stay in Yonsei! We were studying for our finals in... The kitchen. The two of them initially wanted to cook chicken rendang (or something...) so we went down and guess what! Somebody stole San San's chicken from the fridge. Ridiculous. So we ended up studying and they went to buy cup noodles so I was in The Kitchen in the Basement alone for quite some time and honestly... It was kinda creepy.

Taken on 110729 with Minju unnie & Suae unnie! One of my best days in Korea although it involved me being pushed onto the floor of the Subway at Gangnam. We were on our way to Shinsadong from Jamsil and while changing trains at one of the stations in Gangnam, the crowd was so intense and everybody was shoving everybody else. We barely got into the train and when we did, we were shoved in and everybody was losing their balance. I caught this girl who had a huge luggage and literally screamed because she was going to fall. After helping her and making sure she was okay, I got pushed really hard by the people behind me, onto the floor. It wasn't even just losing my balance, they literally pushed me so hard that I fell right onto the floor.

And these gracious Koreans around me just looked at me like it's an everyday thing to see a foreigner on the floor of the subway. Not a single person bothered to help me and they continued being glued to their phones. I was so, so, so disgusted by the Korean society at that point of time -_-

Antroro~ Haha. Minju unnie was so amused by her weird antics and even asked if she could take a picture of her because looking at Ant makes her happy. Suae unnie pointed out that she looks like Pororo with those specs and now I only thing of Pororo whenever Ant wears those.

Gross bubble tea at Dunkin' Donuts. This was my breakfast after a failed breakfast of cold noodles that I got sick of chewing. On a particular grueling day at Inkigayo... The other 3 queued up overnight and I was supposed to as well but I knocked out on Saturday night after not getting any sleep on Friday night before Music Core. Eeeks. But it was terrible because the fans who came in the morning decided for some unknown reason to disregard the namelist that was created at night... Eventually none of the B1A4 fans got in to the studio until after the boys were done with their stage so... :(

Jjajjangmyeon. Blackbean paste noodles. Greasy and too much. I don't like it.

I can listen to this for days.

Jumped on the H&M bandwagon and went shopping with Grace on Friday after my dental appointment. Extremely pleased with all my buys and regret not spending more time there in Korea. I didn't buy a single thing during the Summer sale! Also, my dentist said I'm done with my braces. He was so pleased with how my teeth look that he hit my mouth -_- But... But... I can't get rid of them till February next year. Oh wellllll.

Met up with Shei on Saturday for dinner! We ate at Siam Kitchen again, I swear that's the only place we eat at when we are in Bugis. OH AND. I bought 辛당동떡볶이! Haaaaaa I miss that. Shei's from the Philippines and we knew her through U-Kiss. Super cool, isn't it, how we make friends from all over the world through K-Pop?! She got us lots of snacks & those matching bracelets too. Then we took neoprints but picked the wrong machine so we all had freaky looking eyes. We went to Bugis Street to shop after Shei left and I bought 2 tops and a cardigan but regret, regret, regret because the quality was so terrible.

Tuna wrap for lunch while writing up my lab report this afternoon and proof that I has been studying! Okay I was watching something on my iPod (Hallyu Olympics, I think) while doing so but still!! I studied /biggrin/

Suzhuang's 21st on Sunday :)

Went to Zafirah's house with San San for Hari Raya! The kuehs are just like CNY. It's my first time going over to a malay friend's house for Hari Raya. Hahaha. The food was so good but all the curry and spices turned my braces from blue to green. Serious.

And random pictures of food. The first one was cooked by me! It's baked chicken breast stuffed with broccoli and cheese. I love it although it tasted super plain and slightly overcooked. And I feel sick looking at the oily chicken wings ٩(͡๏̯͡๏)۶

I've had so many things running around in my head the entire day. About so, so, so many things. They are all really random thoughts that just make their way into my mind once in a while. Just one of those days where your mind is overly active and you just think about everything. There are so many things I want to do, so many things I cannot do, so many things I have to do.

There was a mini-carnival for the Junior Bible Class kids on Sunday and we helped out :) It was fun & the kids are so cute! Fun Ann came too! :D And that puzzle they had to do was so difficult but so fun~

Fool-proof easy baked chicken breast recipe. Slice the meat, throw it on a slightly greased baking pan, sprinkle salt and pepper, throw into oven.

I came up with that on my own. Hah.

I overcooked the meat today :(

I love Blogger's new interface! The uploading function finally allows big pictures /happytears/ Gone are the days where I upload my photos separately and type the codes in manually!

Pictures of my favourite bling boy because idk what else to upload.

Jsyk, this little boy (1992 T__T) was a bonus to my summer in Korea :p Together with his 4 other members... Who made my awesome summer awesome-r. Haha.

~~Meaningless~~ Family gathering on Hari Raya. I'm getting fed-up with some people's addiction to mahjong but I'm glad I'm old enough so that I'm not forced to go and that my parents are not mahjong addicts. And annoyed when people talk to me like they know the world when they know nuts. I think I'm getting old and angsty.

And... It's back to those days where I leave my lab report to the last minute again. Almost 6am and I am just starting to answer the questions on my pro-forma. Queen of procrastination!

How many times have I turned away

The number is the same as the sand on the shore

But every time You've taken me back

And now I pray You do it once more.

Please take from me my life

When I don't have the strength

to give it away to You Jesus

♪ Now Playing : 그리워서 - 정용화 (넌 내게 반했어 OST)

Love this song ♡ I really like the OST for Heartstrings (CN Blue + FT Island = Good music, pretty much) and this has to be one of my favourites.

So, I am now a Year 3 student. I am still trying to get used to introducing myself as a Year 3 student... Time flies too quickly sometimes. In 2 more years, I would be done with this degree, and out there in the scary world... And I still don't know what I want to do in future. It scares me, sometimes. I have nothing much to say about this semester yet, except - I'm not filled with as much hate as I used to be for school. Good thing, :)

I dropped my elective (Religion and Culture in the Modern World - I was genuinely interested in it but I decided that for my grades' sake, I'll drop it) so my timetable is pretty slack. Hopefully this can help pull my grades up ಥ⌣ಥ I was staring at Degree Audit just now and... I have only 1 more PE to clear and 2 more UEs. So I guess there's no hurry for me to clear anything! Spent the day (no classes on Wednesdays!) with Sandy at Jurong Point & bought necessities for school. Teehee.

Something trivial happened on the Internet just the other day that left me pretty upset. Some of these online friendships are so fragile, they break over simple things. Over differing opinions, clashing insights, disagreement. Just *snap* - like that. Well, well.

Listening to gossip is like eating cheap candy; do you really want junk like that in your belly?

Say that you missed me, that you really love me

난 그 한마디라도 듣고 싶은데

Those are the words I want to hear

다시 니가 온다면 나를 안아준다면

If you'd come again and give me a hug

나 아파했던 만큼 더 큰 사랑 주면 돼

As long as you love me more than you hurt me

I decided I will forget about blogging about everyday in Seoul. Yep. I deleted all my drafts, too.

I leave you with some pictures of Ehwa University (not even my school!), random shots and a lame photo of my pig face.

I thank God for this chance to spend a short time in Korea. I've learnt a lot of things and it will be something I'll treasure for my entire life ♥ I am very blessed.

2011-07-27T05:48:00.003+08:00

Went to Petite France & Nami Island with Joy last Friday! Was tonnes of fun and a very touristy day. Heh heh. We took the Zipwire to Nami Island and it wasn't a single bit scary! I think I've become braver *coughs* Will blog about it when I'm back in Singapore.

There's a typhoon passing through Korea right now from Japan. Argh, the rain is insane. I was supposed to meet Siying, Candice, Sue, Ant at Hongdae after class yesterday. I left the dorm, walked out to the main road, had my umbrella flip a million times, gave up and walked back... And was totally drenched T_T Had dinner at the lounge with San San & Zafirah, came back to the room and crashed. I was so cold and tired from that 10 minutes in the rain :(

Today in class, Jennifer said she likes the way I dress, which kind of surprised me (so much so that I replied with a 'why?!' to which she said 'why do you have to ask why instead of just saying thank you?' ㅋ). It got me thinking about how I never bother to wear decent looking clothes to school in Singapore. You'll probably never catch me in my dresses, skirts or polka-dot pants that I wear to classes here in Korea. I don't know why, either. Maybe I should make an attempt to wear proper clothes to school next semester. Or rather, I should just conserve that energy and attempt to actually attend school next semester. Or maybe again, wearing nicer clothes will motivate me to go to school! Aiyah...

I... Feel like going to Lotte World but I have no more time in Korea! Only 12 more days :'( On a brighter note though, Mummy's coming over for the last 4 days ^____^

2011-07-19T00:25:00.002+08:00

I have no pictures of today! Didn't go out at all~ Stayed in the dorm like a good girl 0:) Teehee.

It's already been a month since I've arrived in Korea :( I'm guilty to say I don't miss Singapore at all. I miss my family but nothing else... :( I feel bad about that. But I know when I go back I'll probably say I'm glad to be back.

Haven't been going to all the tourist-y sites in Seoul either. It's just not my kind of thing! I'm just having fun enjoying Seoul and immersing myself into everyday Seoul life... Which I like. I can't appreciate the drinking culture, though. I haven't had a single drop of alcohol and I don't know more than 2 people who can say the same for themselves. That, plus I know too many people who keep getting wasted. And I overheard some girl bragging about stuff that I don't think she should be proud of at all. *shrugs* I think it's disgusting... Culture shock? She's not Korean, though.

Shall enjoy my last 3 weeks here! & try not to spend all my money too quickly. Heh.

I am so terrible at blogging ㅋㅋㅋ Still slowly backtracking my posts & I'll probably have them up by this week... Hopefully!

Went to Music Bank (YAH YAH AGAIN) with Siying. Wanted to study Korean during the waiting time so I brought all my books but because we set out late, I had no time to do anything at all and those books were so heavy! We decided to be crazy fans and waited outside KBS for the stars to leave the place after rehearsals. It was pretty fun but useless seeing all those pretty/handsome faces up close. Hah.

And of course I only have eyes for one group. What's new! But Junghwan wasn't there :( So here's 차바로.

Had lots of fun with the crazy boys and fans during the pre-recording which was too short. We decided not to stay for the live broadcast (we were no 69 & 68 anyway lol) and headed down to Hongdae. Walked around for a bit and met up with Siying's friends for dinner.

Tasteless seafood pancake & disgusting chicken dish. I suspect it was chicken liver or something it was chewy and gross?! We hardly ate it T__T

And I realised I broke my cheap 4,000W (fake) specs :(

HI I HAVEN'T BEEN KEEPING UP WITH THIS BLOG.

School is sucking all the energy out of me idky I hate it :( It's such a bummerrrrrr having to attend lessons. I have never understood the term Monday Blues any better T_T SOBS. Every Sunday after having fun for 3 days, the thought of going back to school just attacks you like a dementor.

But I enjoy Korean lessons. I just dislike my film class =_=; Meh! Just finished our group assignment which I think I didn't do very well on but my groupmates did awesome so I feel a little guilty.

Anyway!!! I've been in Korea for 24 days and I am guilty to say I don't miss Singapore at all. I don't want to go back! T_T I miss my family and my house and my room and my cat but nothing else. Singapore I don't miss you I don't want to go back to you :( I want to stay in Korea forever and ever.

I need to stop eating rubbish omg I keep eating and eating and eating.

I leave you with that one sole picture of a cute cat I met at the cat cafe. I haven't been taking enough pictures. Oops?

넌 내게 반했어 - 정용화 (넌 내게 반했어 OST)

Met up with Sue, Siying, Cassandra & Val for dinner at Sinchon. We had porridge... Expensive porridge!! The average price was 7,000 to 9,000W and my beef mushroom porridge was 8,000W. It wasn't all that good though. Nice for today's cold, rainy weather but not good enough for 8,000W. Heh.

Went to Luxury noraebang (or 노래연습장 actl)! We sang for 3.5hrs straight (they gave us 30 mins free!) and it was super fun. The place was really nice too! No sleazy looking people, doesn't reek of smoke and alcohol either. But they don't have original MVs except for really old songs :( The price was okay too (10,000W per hour per room before 6PM and 18,000W after). Sue lost her voice but my throat doesn't even hurt. I has strong throat!! LOL. It was fun & I want to go back at least once more before leaving Korea!

Attempting to do my readings now but it's just not working out I feel like sleeping already snorez.

Edit: Just realised how many grammatical mistakes I make in my entries ㅠ

#015 또! 음중 보러 갔다 ㅋ

2011-07-02T02:50:00.000+08:00

Went for Music Core again. I can feel you judging me now. Meh! Like I care! Hahahaha. This must be the first time we woke up early-early to go for a music show. Left the dorm around 630 in the morning!

Stole this picture off Siying's blog because I don't take enough pics of human beings ~_~

Met up with Sue, Siying, Ant, Mych and the same group of friends. Sue, Siying and I queued with B1A4; Ant was with Boyfriend and the rest were not fans of anyone but ended up in the T-ara queue. The weather was unbearingly hot and humid that day! We had breakfast, walked down to La Festa which was too far away then settled at MBC's Coffee Prince cafe. That's Siying working hard on her Onew board. Haha!

The peach tea was so sweet, it felt like I was drinking syrup D: Had our attendance taken twice, then the fan staff arrived and we were #10 & #11! Sue missed the sign-up deadline on the cafe so she was at the back but we all got in anyway. We were at the moshpit and Ant even managed to join us! Since BF's fanclub was just behind.

B1A4's performance was way too short. They only did slightly over a minute since they pre-recorded their performance on Wednesday :'( And when we watched the pre-recorded performance... They were indeed at the place we were on Wednesday, oh if only we waited a little longer T_T;

We were behind Secret's fanboys and this particular guy in front of me was downright annoying. Seriously. He was on twitter the whole time, blocking our view with his fanboard... Until his nunas appeared. But they left after Secret performed so we were right in front for 2NE1 & 2PM. Woot. 2NE1 was really good and Bom is gorgeous *-*

Speaking of fanboys! Apink's fanboys were really, really good. They were amazing with their fanchants and so cute hahahaha. Oh. And we have this 'Singapore' signs that we decided to hold up during 2PM's song and ~put our hands up~ (the song in Korea is everywhere btw, so annoying). We got special fanservice from Taec, Chansung and Khun but none of us are fans *coughs* Awkward moment when Chansung stared at me and I didn't know what to do so I nodded at him. Sorry 2PM you guys are good looking but... ㅠ_ㅠ;;

Dinner-ed with Sue and Siying after seeing the boys leave. Sandeul & Gongchan were practically hanging out of the car window... And they went in the opposite direction from where we were. Hahahahahahahahahahaha. Had some... Err... Beef fried udon thing that wasn't even nice u_u

Random picture of my nails. Wo xi huan.

No lessons today, no plans today... Nuzzzing! Spent the day in my dorm attempting to finish my readings but I didn't even open the book. Oops! I ended up watching 넌 나에게 반했어 (정용화다!) and finished my Korean homework (2 pages of MCQs, what).

Went out to Sinchon to meet Ant, Mych and friends for dinner. I'm terrible with names so I hardly remember their names sobs. I used to be so good with names ;____; Like I could remember my entire class' names in a go but now I can't! Walked around Sinchon after that and they went into every other make-up shop and bought stuff :o So proud of myself for not buying anything *pumps fists into the air*

김치볶음밥 (Kimchi Fried Rice)

Some black bean side dish that I liked.

2nd day of lessons start off bad. Trekked down to Baekyung for Korean Cinema to find out that classes were to be held at NMH because the room was leaking from the rain, so unwillingly climbed the stupid slopes back here. Only to find out that another class was going on and we had to go back to Baekyung. So we dragged our unwilling butts back in the heavy, heavy rain :( Was drenched and uncomfortable throughout class :(

Our Korean lessons started today! I'm in Intermediate 2 (5th out of the 8 levels?) and my class has many many Korean Americans :O Everybody is pretty nice so far and the lessons are enjoyable (biased because it's Korean lolol) so yeah n_n

I have a weird ulcer/pimple/growth in my right eye and I thought it'd go away soon but it's starting to bother me D: Although it's not swelling yet but I can feel it when I blink. Meh :( But I'm so vain I refuse to wear my specs out until I make new ones. Owell. Friday... Since I have no plans for Friday at all. I still don't know what I should do. Bwahaha.

Btw, after lessons today we went down to 뚝섬 to supposedly attend B1A4's pre-recording but it got cancelled and none of us had the brains to check the notice beforehand :( I actually made a mental note to check but forgot to bring my ipod to class so I had no internet :( But oh well I saw the Han River and it was pretty! I want to go cycling... When it's not raining. Pssh.

Ah. I think I'm sleepyzzzz.

And I have no money :(

#011 수업을 시작하는 날!

2011-06-28T23:15:00.003+08:00

Look at the ~imperial~ prints on the blanket. Hahahaha.

Our lessons started today! I'm taking only two modules here in Yonsei - Korean Cinema and Korean Language. My lessons only start at 1pm so I have the morning free but I don't really know what to do with the morning. Hahaha. I woke up and didn't know what to do so I just watched running man and bought kimbap for lunch, got too full and felt like sleeping.

Love my 15,000W backpack woohoo.

Headed for my first class which is Korean Cinema. It's held in this hall that's about a 5-minute walk from the dorm. The most tiring 5 minutes in my life -_-; Yonsei what is with you and your slopes!! After depositing money for the SBS field trip, I went into the seminar room early but it was already almost full so I just plopped myself into a random chair at the back. Yonsei is so stingy they didn't turn on the aircon so the entire place was so so so so stuffy D:

The lecturer is alright for now, despite being unbearingly naggy. She went through the admin stuff like not skipping class, being on time yadahyadah for a good 45 minutes or so. The course seems like film arts so far and I quite enjoy it. Except I did nod off during the film screening again. Oops!

Hiked back to KLI to meet San San and go for the Korean placement test. The test was alright and I found it quite fun actually. Teehee. Haven't done Korean for so, so, so long! I couldn't do the last 2 or 3 pages of the paper but that's alright since it's the advanced levels. I actually haven't studied some of the grammar formally so I was contemplating whether to answer the questions or not but I did in the end. I guess if there is a gap I shall just self-study to make up for it? The oral test went on pretty smoothly. Until I hit a point where I just couldn't understand the questions she was asking... Then it ended there. We'll get our placement results tomorrow and I hope I'm not in a too high/too low level!

I've only been here for a week and a half and already I wish I had a whole semester :( What is 6 more weeks...

2011-06-27T23:16:00.002+08:00

Yay a non-B1A4 post! ㅋㅋㅋ I had no plans for today so I stayed in the dorm and studied Korean. Well, sort of. I just read through my notes to try and recall my grammar for tomorrow's placement test :S I don't even know how much went in to my puny brain!

Met Ant and Michelle at Edae after their lessons and headed to find Sue! We had 닭갈비 (Chicken... Thing) which was super super super good I want to eat it again. Haha. It was my only meal for the day since I was too lazy to go down and grab something to eat :<

We wore the cute little red aprons that they handed out! I like this photo - Michelle looks so happy ~~and Sue looks like a terrorist~~.

Michelle decided that she wants to ~help~ the people there to mix the... Thing. In the end the guy came over and was like 'Don't Touch-ie!' (Lol yes, in Konglish) and this is their reactions to him. HA!

Almost cooked!... And I have no picture of the cooked dish because I just wanted to eat. Oink. Hahaha. I like this shop, they're so funny!! You guys should have been there to see what the guy at the entrance was doing when he spotted us walking over to him. He was 'luring' us over with all sorts of weird hand actions, rofl.

We had matcha and watermelon bingsoo after walking around randomly! And we also found the porridge shop omg I want mushroom porridge :Q__

Lessons start tomorrow and I'm kind of looking forward to it! I hope my classmates will be nice people.

110626 B1A4 'Let's Fly' fansign at Synnara Records, Yongsan

The fansign was held in the shop itself and the windows were all blocked up so I couldn't take pictures until I was inside waiting for my turn. I have no pictures of Jinyoung because I couldn't see him from where I was :( Alot of pictures came out blur too since I was trying to snap as many as I could. Heh.

I have no plans for tomorrow, so I think I'll be staying in my room studying Korean and hopefully post all the backdated posts. They're all drafts right now and some are empty except for the title. Lol u_u I have 400 pictures from the Incheon fansign too, which I have yet to go through :| Hopefully I can clear them all tomorrow!

So proud of myself for finding the way around the building despite being dropped off at the back of the school. Ahahaha. Some nice ahjussis helped me out though. I like nice people. My luggage was maaad heavy so I'm glad I made it here in one piece.

The rooms are pretty nice and I like the tables.

Went to meet the two at Ehwa and dyed/trimmed my hair. My hair didn't come out as what I expected :( I think it was a major communication breakdown with the stylist. Meh! I'm thinking of going again (to a different store -_-) or doing a DIY, but I'm not sure. Heh.

Shoe shop at Ehwa. Ehwa's shopping street is my wallet's most hated place.

I don't feel like typing.

We went to catch MTV The Show and watched 4men, Secret, Jang Woo Hyuk and B1A4 record. There were some other rookie singers too but I don't know their names. Meh. They were recording for 2 different episodes so we saw a lot of them since it was like camera rehearsal + recording + another recording with new outfits.

4men's voices are really really really good. Secret is pretty. Jang Woo Hyuk is cold. B1A4 is awesome duh.

Jang Woo Hyuk has this avid fanboy who was really funny. Hahahahaha. He was screaming his lungs out for him and he literally ran into the studio when they were let in lololol. Towards the end Jang Woo Hyuk walked over to our side and shook some fans' hands and his fans exploded with 'THOSE ARE B1A4 FANS!!!' kkkkkkk.

Dinner was at... I forgot. This was more than a week ago. Heh.

Took a long train ride down to Incheon with the intentions of buying CDs for B1A4's fansign. We kind of went to the wrong station, oops. When we got off, it was just... deserted. We were supposed to go to 신새계 (a departmental store chain in Korea) and we didn't see any large buildings at all.

But! Getting off at the wrong stop brought us to Chinatown! Nothing spectacular, though. It was a Monday and most places were closed ~_~ So we just took a picture of the gate and cabbed down to the city. Why do all Chinatowns have gates? I remember one like this in San Francisco and in London, too. Haha.

We bought our CDs and went for lunch. We had 라볶이! It's ramen + rice cakes. I don't think it was very nice though. Haha. Wandered around a bit after lunch but there wasn't anything to do there.

So we sat down in the super strong wind wooooooooo. And then went back to Seoul.

Walked to Namdaemun market across from our guesthouse in hopes of finding dinner but there wasn't anything so we went back to a restaurant near our guesthouse. We bought watermelon/pineapple/bananas too and they were so so so sweet I suspect they were soaked in sugar syrup or something :| And this Dongho poster is probably the closest we'll see of U-Kiss in Korea :'( They're promoting in Japan until September ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ

Dubious looking green chilli side dish :| Nobody dared to try it. Hah.

We walked to Myeongdong in the morning. Shopped and walked till our feet were killing us and the sun was crazy! We almost got lost but we made it in the end \o/ Bought my Doctor Martens inspired shoes and I looove it. Sorry lah, cannot afford original :( Haha. Grabbed a new cardigan, skirt and stationery too. I love Artbox here - so cheap!

Bibimbap, 쭐면 (Jjul-myeon? I srsly don't know the english name for this. It's somewhat like bibim cold noodles but more... Chewy? Bibim (비빔) is the action of mixing, if I'm not wrong. That's where you get bibimbap - which means bibim rice) and 떡볶이 (spicy rice cakes) for lunch!

Gwanghwamun for Boyfriend's M!Pick fanmeeting. Their first fanmeeting ever! Was lots and lots and lots of fun. K.Will made a special appearance too! & then they had a surprise hi-5 event at the end... Where I made fun of Minwoo who was sweating like crazy. Jungmin and Minwoo were so cute, though. And Youngmin is just... Super good looking.

What on earth do you talk about in front of stars, though? Korean fans seem to tell them they're cute handsome etc etc but I find that... Awkward. Most of the time I just go 'oh hi I'm from Singapore'. Except for Minwoo! I just burst out laughing and asked him if it was raining because he was sweating so much. He pouted and touched his sweaty sideburns... And proceeded to give Sue a wet hi-5 ㅋㅋㅋ

... We also appeared on episode 5 of the show. Embarassing, much.

Dunkin' Donuts for... dinner.

#001 서울도착!

2011-06-20T23:59:00.000+08:00

Korea!

I’m actually blogging on Microsoft Word now because the WIFI at the guesthouse just doesn’t work on the netbook :( Oh well. I don’t even know if I can keep up with this blogging… But I hope I do! We got here yesterday (i.e. Saturday) and we’ve seen B1A4 and Boyfriend (& Sunny Hill but err…) and K.Will over the past 2 days. Hopeless! Ha. More on that later, though.

Took the midnight flight to Seoul on Friday night. The sisters went for church camp so they didn’t send me off. And brother y u no smile!! Anyway the piropiro neckrest didn’t really make the plane more comfortable to sleep in. I couldn’t sleep at all :(

Ended up watching Justin Bieber’s Never Say Never, which I reaaaaally enjoyed. Haha! Now I understand why some people say you’ll like him after watching it n_n I was seated beside some fangirls though. They kept talking and talking before take-off so I couldn’t sleep. When I wanted to sleep after watching Bieber, she was blasting SHINee on the (lousy) airplane headphones so I had to take my ipod and blast better music into my ears. And then when I was falling asleep she nudged me by accident and I jumped up and gave up sleeping all together.

Reached Korea at about 7am in the morning. While filling in our immigration forms I spotted... Reading glasses! Super amusing. I'm still amused. Took a bus down to MD to put our bags at Seoul Backpacker's and then headed straight down to Ilsan.

We went to MBC to catch B1A4's first performance of '못된것만배워서' on Music Core! They were really good. (& really cute) It was a pre-recording so we got in even though we were 150+ in the queue :o Involved a lot of waiting and queuing, watching Sunny Hill do their routine 3 times and B1A4's stage twice. Yep.

Headed out for dinner after, went back to Myeongdong to be told we were at the wrong guesthouse because they mixed it up ;___; So we cabbed down to Namdaemun and checked into the right one! Went into the market to have some delish Kimchi pancakes too. Omnomnom I want some now :(

... I don't know if I can keep up with this blogging thing. The netbook is really, really slow at doing everything!

Korea so far!

2011-06-20T23:46:00.000+08:00

Korea has been awesome so far! We arrived on Saturday morning and are staying at Seoul Backpacker's until the 23rd before we move into our dorms. The weather here is... Well... Better than Singapore? It's really cooling in the morning and at night (I actually find it cold, lol) but in the afternoons, the sun is crazy. I kind of got sunburnt, even. The sun rises at ~5am and sets at ~8pm so we really don't realise how late it is since it's bright till that time?!

I wanted to say we haven't been to many places over the past few days but we have! Been to many recordings/saw many idol stars.

HOPELESS FANGIRLS OR WHAT.

Nah. When we arrived, we headed to Ilsan to catch B1A4 on Music Core. No regrets they were so awesome on stage! We went shopping at Myeong Dong (♥) on Sunday before heading down to Gwanghwamun for Boyfriend's M!Pick fanmeeting. Had tonnessss of fun. Monday saw us going down to Incheon (not the airport, lulz) and we wandered into Chinatown but most places were closed so we just headed to Incheon City Hall (?) to buy fansign CDs and just walk around. Today we went for MTV's The Show recording for B1A4 and then to Edae to get our phones.

Hah. So we've been here for 4 days and we've seen B1A4 perform 못된것만배워서 7 times at 2 recordings. We've also seen Boyfriend, K.Will, Secret, Jang Woo Hyuk, Block B, 4men, Sunny Hill, Touch... And I can't remember. Is that all?

I initially thought we were crazy and wasting time but after thinking about it... We really enjoy ourselves so meh! These shows are free, too!

Puahaha. Actually, I'm not sure how long we'll actually continue doing this. But it's really fun just going to various parts of Seoul and seeing them is just like a bonus :p I'm just trying to make me feel less guilty, okay!! Hah.

Random story. Today we went to get our phones and the guy at the shop basically spoke only Korean and barely any English. And he wasn't even some old man he was probably our age or older?! It was a pretty good experience though, speaking (broken) Korean like that. He kept randomly like grabbing my wrists when he was talking though (not in the freaky manner!) Koreans are so funny in how they are so... Touchy. Hahaha. Like how if I talk to the fanclub unnies they like to hold our hands too.

Oh my goodness so many words. Ahahaha. I'm actually looking forward to the start of our lessons n_n Also, the wifi at the guesthouse is really bad so I can't blog until I check into Yonsei :(

Ah... 굿밤?

못된 것만 배워서 - B1A4

TOMORROW IS THE DAY! Will be flying off to Seoul at midnight. Feeling a mixture of extreme excitement and nervousness right now. Gah I'm really... Nervous *-* Just finished packing most of my stuff and have a few more last-minute errands to run tomorrow before we leave.

Spent the past week meeting up with a lot of people :D/ Flew kites with the cousins on Friday at Marina Barrage! I have a watch tan now lol but it's alright I guess since I'm always wearing my watch....? Was fun though. I wonder why we don't go out together more often.

Had a ~farewell~ lunch with the careteam on Sunday after church at Rocky's Pizza! The pizza there is... The best pizza I've had in Singapore. Hahaha I want to go there again :Q Got cute sweet notes from them too heh I love the careteam ♥

Met up with Nina who came from Australia on Sunday and Monday toos! :3 I'm amazed & glad that U-Kiss has allowed me to know so many people! :) We had dinner at Makansutra near the Esplanade on Sunday and omg rip-off rip-off rip-off rip-off. It's basically terribly expensive hawker food ;___; Played pool for the first time (the last time in sec 4 wasn't counted I held the cue like twice and gave up) and it was fun!

Went to Marina Square for the 3rd time in a week to meet up with Jiahao, Aaron, Spiky & Weixin n_n I miss those people so much /sad face/ I wish we were still in secondary school :<

Can barely keep my eyes open anymore.

Less than 2 weeks to Korea.

Medical check-up not done. Packing not started. What else?

The best way to revise Korean without formal classes is probably doing translations. For me, at least. I went on a flurry of translator sign-ups at various forums this week and I must say I really enjoy translating. Hahaha. Which is good since I haven't had time to sit down and read my Korean text properly. I managed to start off with at least an hour of studying Korean after my exams but it slowly dwindled down to nothing... Since I'm so drained by work, although I can't figure out why.

And for the first time last week, I felt a slight flicker of fear about going to Korea for 2 months. I don't know why either! I've always been more excited and I was never afraid at all. At that moment, I felt like I didn't want to go to Korea, I didn't want to go anywhere and I just wanted to stay at home with my family. But that was then, I'm all geared up to go to Korea now!

Except I have a whole list of things to settle before I jet off. Like for now, I think I'll grab a cup of hot tea (at 1am, pshhh) and start working on the math activities for work.

2011-05-30T01:18:00.002+08:00

My brother let me listen to What Are Words by Chris Medina and told me the story behind this song too. Sweet.

My first attempt at watercolours. Argh I love watercolours but I'd love it if I could use them well u_u I don't even own a decent set of watercolours because I don't really want to spend money on getting one. I have 3 palettes and one of them is from KFC's Chicky club, okay.

Meow.

Wanted to work on my cross-stitch piece that I'm aiming to finish before leaving for Korea. But It's almost 1.30 in the morning and I have to be at work early tomorrow :(

So goodnight.

D-22!

FT Island - 고백합니다 (I Confess)

Love this song. Sounds like the perfect song to listen to on rainy days. Haha! I love the lyrics too. Haven't gotten down to listening to FT Island's new album yet... But I love what I've heard so far ^-^v

Dead tired now but sitting on my sofa feeling dirty. I need to go shower soon but my legs are aching so I just want to sit down. Using all my strength to stay awake rn!!!

Okay just showered and I am awake now.

*burp*

Exams ended on the 19th and immediately after that was Kibum's event here in Singapore :) By far the best event so far, no headaches from the organisers (ty WM!) and even our fellow fans were nice! Our project went on very smoothly too. It was really nice to see Kibum again! He said my Korean was good /falls/ Bwahahaha.

Working for the mum's company again this semester break. Work is much more bearable now that Sue is working with me! We had a math carnival at Zhenghua Primary today and it was so much fun :) The P1 kids were all cutie-patooties and so sweet and nice too.

Going to scroll through Tumblr and rot the night away.

... But I'm falling asleep again ...

그대는 darling~

2011-05-15T03:53:00.002+08:00

Hello Earthlings! It's 4:15am and I have decided not to sleep in case I fail to wake up for church later. Shall go shower & get changed after typing this up. Which means! For the first time in a long time I don't have to rush in the morning. Hoho. Every Sunday usually means dashing in and out of the toilet going crazy.

Met up with the careteam on Monday after my Jap paper for Liz's birthday dinner.

*PAUSE* Must rant about exams. The papers have been relatively kind so far. I think. But how I feel about the paper hardly ever matches the grade I get u_u For my Jap paper!!! For some weird reason, I couldn't recall much of the Katakana alphabet. WHICH SUCKS BECAUSE... There is a whole section on Katakana! I was just lying on the table staring in space, hoping the alphabet would somehow materialise in my head. Then... Suddenly... I saw that majority of my stationery were made in Japan so there was Japanese on the labels. I felt like I was cheating but it helped me remember just one or two Katakana. Meh. Anyway! I'm done with 4 papers and I'm only left with 2! The last 2 papers are not as important so I feel pretty... Relaxed already. Teehee.

Anyway! Monday! Dinner at Sakae and I felt hungry but I wasn't in a Japanese food mood. Stole all the pictures from Mag's facebook :P Haha. I'm really thankful for this careteam & getting to know them. Every time I meet them, I think I learn something new. Thank God for that Sunday where I randomly decided to go into Bible class early and Joanne invited me to join them :) Especially this Friday, hearing stories about the working world, I am... Going to treasure my time as a student! Haha. & the note above above was from Liz during Friday's careteam. It kind of really spoke to me ♡

내 손을 잡고 FLY~

2011-05-08T23:31:00.002+08:00

Cookies for mother's day. Ah, I wasn't intending on making anything for mummy this mother's day yet, since it's exam period and she would probably scold me for doing anything besides studying :P First time using the oven here and honestly baking the cookies were a disaster. I always always make chocolate cookies using the same recipe from Bakerella but this time round I messed up :| I decided to divide the recipe by 2 since I didn't need that many cookies. But! Brain mulfunction... Added half a cup too much sugar.

So I got crumbly, hard cookies. I attempted to save the rest and managed to but the cookies still looked weirdish & didn't taste as good. SIGH?! Threw the remaining batter into the fridge and whipped up a new batch but divided the recipe by 4. But I was lazy so I didn't measure some stuff and just threw it in lololol. The batter looked suspiciously watery but I just threw it into the oven and... Yes too watery. The cookies flattened out into crispy chocolate chip pancakes. So I threw more flour into the remaining batter... And finally got the right cookies. Except I only had 6 -_-; I haven't given them to Mummy because I didn't go back this weekend & didn't make it to church u_u

Been watching CN Blue's videos a lot recently. And their album is still on repeat ever since it's released. Teehee. So much love for these 4 boys and their music, really. Everybody should go watch them on M Soundplex! And the recent episode of Director's Cut. In fact, everybody should go watch every episode of Director's Cut! My new favourite Korean show. I love the acoustic covers of all the songs they sing and... I just like everything about the show.

And I have a confession. I'm slipping away from U-Kiss. I guess Alexander and Kibum did play a huge part in the group for me and I'll step out of my denial now. I don't intend to give up on supporting the group but I have to say I'm losing interest. I don't know~ I look at them now and just... Not the same :(

그래서 믿고 참고 기다렸지~

2011-05-04T00:17:00.002+08:00

Was looking through 천은실선생님's illustrations (chuneunsil.com) again and wanted to work with watercolours. Opened SAI & all but after doodling for a short while I felt guilty so I decided to leave it till after exams. Ugh!! Hence ugly incompleted thing.

Back to cramming for finals, drinking too much orange juice (will I turn orange...?) and playing SISTAR19 on repeat.

2011-04-27T22:25:00.003+08:00

I want a kitten I really want a kitten! My dad almost brought me to adopt one the other day but we didn't in the end. I still get to see minzy when I go home during the weekends but not during the weeeeeek. And I'm all alone here so... :( Preferably a ginger kitten! Plus points if it's a munchkin. I need a kitten because I'd need it to be a house cat, unlike minzy who constantly runs out to play, since this apartment won't allow that. I doubt I can train the cat to take a lift!

Got bored while studying so I pulled out my tablet again. It's been a long time since I played around with it so I decided to open SAI (which was being annoying so I had to reinstall it :|). Tried out the watercolour brush and I quite like how it turned out! I'm thinking of making these into actual prints to use as greeting cards (and actually start remembering birthdays). Of course I have to fix my handwriting... The stabiliser just won't work again :(

Well. After finals, that is...

Church Retreat + F21 + Swensens

2011-04-24T00:32:00.002+08:00

Sister trying to take a paparazzi photo of me. I told her this picture looks like we're partying but... I'm clutching my Bible in my hand. Haha. Went for the annual Church retreat yesterday! Was a good break from school and all. Speaking of school, I am done with my deadlines! n_n HW report in, last lab report in, 2 last mid-terms done! Now left with finals. And Japanese oral/listening.

Anthea in her Charlie Chaplin outfit.

Went to Vivo City with sister after the retreat. Our plan was to come home and study but we ended up at Vivo City and at Forever 21 to shop (= happy girls). That led on to us being hungry as usual so we went to Swensens to eat. Teehee!

Stayed at home today but hardly studied anything. Gosh. Heading back to Boonlay and next week will be study, study, study, study.

Happy Sunday!

1 down, 6 to go

2011-04-20T02:43:00.002+08:00

This is my teddy bear which I've had since I was 7 or 8 years old. The stuffing has gone wonky and it's out of shape but I am really happy that I found it. I thought I lost it when we shifted from Bishan 9 years ago! n_n

Had a 10-hour long group meeting just now to finish up our final report for HW. Oh boy, I sure am glad we are done with this module! And for the first time in my uni life, I think I may actually miss my groupmates. Group meetings were fun and crazy although they dragged on for extremely long all the time. All that proposal & report writing was a pain in the neck though.

Things are finally, finally, finally dying down a little for this week. Last week was a mad dash. From report writing, to editing our proposal for YFC and finally the YFC pitch. I never thought I'd reach a state where I won't even have time to watch my weekly K-variety shows. Teehee but yes, I'd end up falling asleep whenever I attempt watching any show. Sobs.

Another midterm and another lab report. & all that will be left would be our finals!!! I was looking through some of my favourite illustrators' works just now and I feel like drawing rubbish. I haven't drawn anything in a long time.

Also, I submitted a design for the CBC shirt. I am extremely embarrassed and I totally regret doing so because I didn't even like the design. Ugh, anything would be better than the blue and green periodic table, you know.

Time to hit the hay! Have to cram for physics midterms and finish up my lab report tomorrow. Snore.

Woof woof woof

2011-04-06T23:57:00.004+08:00

Dalmatian inspired nails that I painted last week. I had them for a week and removed them today and I felt so sad to part with them because I loved it. Sobs. What, I am sentimental kid, okay. Hahahahaha joke.

Got my Yonsei admission letter today! /does victory jig/ Super excited for Korea now 8) But one more month of the semester to battle with, sighhhhhhhhh. On a happier note... Only 2 more lab sessions! Yay! n_n & we're done with midterms too! Yay again!

Okay drama time.

밤 하늘 별들도 우릴 축복해요

2011-03-28T21:01:00.004+08:00

Ear-candy of the moment: CN Blue's 'First Step' album & Dalmatian's first mini album

Korean variety show addiction: Running Man

I love Dalmatian's songs a lot (hip-hop - their songs have a MC Mong flavour to it since he produced them & I love MC Mong!) but in Home Run there's a line that goes '너는 내꺼야 home run flight'. The Korean basically says 'you're mine' but what is home run flight?! CN Blue's album is good. As expected! Teehee. U-Kiss' album will drop tomorrow after midnight & I am excitedddddddd. Been watching Running Man for the past week hahhaaha I love it I love Korean variety shows!

Had my first two midterms for this semester and both were better than I expected! Now for the grades. I actually studied for both so I'm hoping I'll do well! I have a critique due at midnight tomorrow and I'm still not done with it though.

Started making friendship bands again thanks to Sue. Teehee so fun. I made one using the Buzz Lightyear colours! To infinity and beyond~~~~~~~~~!

We had a KLP event last Friday! The turn-out was laughable again as usual but I thought it was pretty fun. & I love being sneaky while everybody rambles on in Korean and I actually understand but pretend not to *COUGHS* We learnt a few Korean games and... I realised how much Koreans love drinking D: I was really drained from the week so I was kinda looking forward to getting home that night. Heh heh.

Finally paid my application fee & sent my transcripts off to Yonsei! Waiting for the acceptance letter now, which I most probably will get soon. YAY SO EXCITED. 18 June, come quick! Wish I could be there for a whole semester instead of just summer, but not complaining 8) I actually want to go for church camp & dive into hotel beds with Liqing and Anthea again, but the dates clash, so I'll just dive into our beds with Sue in Korea :D/ I am actually looking forward to being in a Korean-speaking environment. Hopefully I'll manage to improve my Korean skills when I'm there! :)

Okay I'm getting too excited again. I shall go work on my critique.

What goes up must come down

2011-03-21T08:45:00.002+08:00

I want a typewriter.

Baby you're my firework

2011-03-03T03:22:00.002+08:00

If you see frogs all over this blog... It's imageshack being selfish :( You now need an account to view pictures hosted there and pretty much ALL my pictures are hosted on imageshack. Boo.

I just finished most of my lab report and I'm lazing around at 330am in the morning ;~; I am really tired but I somehow refuse to sleep. I've managed to face this semester with a relatively positive attitude so far! Even though I got taken down but a nasty bout of flu two weeks back, resulting in me missing a lab session, everything has been going alright thus far. Even the dreaded HW102 (Art of Academic Writing, or something along the lines of that) is going pretty well. I have a fun tutor and lovely group mates, which I thank God for. Although they get a little nutty at times during our discussions... Okay I'm kidding if any of you stumble upon this! Continue being nutty, hahaha.

Guess what! I've managed to stop skipping (important) lectures. Well, I still give absolutely useless ones (Read: Defence Science) a miss but trust me, missing it is better than attending it and listening, or rather, hearing the lecturers drone on about... Something. I don't really know what the course is about, yet.

I drew this last week. Basically I was extremely happy to collect my computer which I paid a hefty $200 to replace the faulty keyboard, but when I got home, realised it wasn't working. Sent it back to Eight Flags and got a call this morning saying that something in the data board corroded and so I have to pay $80 (before GST too, pshhh) to replace that. I was so annoyedand I asked her, "so even if I replace that, it may not work, and I may have to pay more again?" and she went on about them not being able to know because it was a water spillage blah, blah, blah.

Hold on there, why didn't they tell me that replacing the keyboard may not fix the problem? Because if they did, I would not have paid to replace the keyboard! At this rate, I'm going to have to pay $80s to replace each wire that corrodes. I'd rather get me a whole new notebook.

Then again, it's my fault for spilling the water on it. Zzzzzzzzzzzzzz. I feel really upset about losing $200 attempting to repair something that can't be repaired.

On a less depressing note, I've been watching way too many reality shows thanks to studying in front of the TV. Hooked on American Idol, ANTM, Junior Masterchef and so many more. I don't know what I'd do without Star World now T_____T

Alexander and Kibum

2011-02-23T16:50:00.002+08:00

I woke up to Sue's text telling me the news is out and that both of them are leaving. My initial reaction was shock, denial, shock, acceptance. Alexander...? I respect their decisions and I know that there are greater things awaiting them, so I'm alright with it. But some fans are being unreasonable. They can go ahead and boycott NHM or U-Kiss because it won't change a thing, just maybe, they themselves getting upset.

Looking forward to Alexander and Kibum's futures! :) As well as that of the remaining U-Kiss members.

Of shaky pictures and monopoly deal

2011-02-23T16:35:00.002+08:00

Two Saturdays ago, I met up with Meigui & Chunying after a long, long, long time.

We walked to Marina Bay Sands after lunch, seeing how none of us have been there.

The place was pretty, but there was nothing to do.

So we sat down at Coffee Bean and played Monopoly Deal. It's my first time playing the game but I have plans to grab a deck for my own soon.

After about an hour or so, we decided to go to River Angbao.

Meigui & Chunying almost made me take this. Thank God the price was such a rip-off so we didn't!

We walked to Marina Square and ended up at Starbucks.

To play Monopoly Deal again!

But before that, I got tempted by those stupid machines again. Teehee won two ugly dolls and gave them to Chunying.

I miss Anderson & hanging out with them :(

It's not over yet. Just hope.

2011-02-15T22:06:00.004+08:00

Every once in a while... No, very often, in fact, I question my major over and over again. I started liking Chemistry in my upper secondary years and through JC, but entering University, I started to see that like I once had slowly diminish. To be honest, sometimes I wonder if I really liked Chemistry because of the subject, or because I could get good grades in the subject. Then again, Chemistry was never my strongest subject. It has always been Math. So some times I question why I'm not a Math major...

Anyway, I've been thinking about what I'm going to do when I graduate. Will I be a chemist? A researcher? Another thing that keeps worrying me is my GPA. My ever fluctuating GPA. The thought of graduating as a 3rd class, or even a 2nd-lower scares me sometimes. It pokes at the little competitive monster in me who has been asleep for a long, long time. But that monster won't wake. I hope it will soon.

Are you finding that careers/jobs pertaining to your major don’t interest you? Have you felt as though you’ve had a change of heart about your interest areas now that you’re graduating? You are not alone! Many students realize they want to pursue a career that may have little or nothing to do with their major. This is absolutely normal. The key is identifying what you want and then tailoring your search strategies. Here are some tips to get you moving in the direction right for you.

I found this from the Colorado State University and it gave me a glimmer of hope. Another article somewhere also stated that less than 50% of science graduates do a job that's related to their major. Hmm. Although I do go around throwing 'I hate Chemistry!' statements pretty often, I have to say I don't exactly hate it. I'm in a... Love-hate relationship with it. I know my parents want me to further my studies in future, but I myself don't know if I want to remain in the field. The paranoid, cowardly part of me says to stick to this, yet the adventurous and fickle-minded part of me says to take the leap and do something else. I really don't know.

But for now I don't think I'm going to let it bother me too much. I need to conquer this semester and pull that GPA up to the high heavens. On another note, I finally started applications for YISS ^-^ Korea, here I come~!

#nowplaying- 집에 가지마 by GD & TOP

First week back at school - for real, the first 2 weeks didn't feel like school - is over! Had our first lab session today and it was b o r i n g. 4 in a group and all we do is adjust the pH and throw it into the machine to measure the absorbance. At least we were done early & I got to come back early :D/ But all I did when I got home was collapse and fell asleep for 4 hours straight -_-; I forgot to do the risk assessment because I thought we didn't need to do it (blurblock1990@hotmail.com!!!) and in the end I was marked down as 40 mins late. O~leh...

Love these colour comparison posts by Miss Moss! They're brilliant. I love love love how she puts fashion together with traditional art pieces! ♥

Meeting Meigui & Chunying tomorrow! Yay excited *0* Even though I'm broke. Unless by some stroke of luck my mum gave me my allowance? I should go check :3 Omg I got my allowance. Phew. Need to resist the urge to get stuff on my never ending list of wants (VANS, TOMS, guitar... Just to name some) but I really need a new school bag!

August Band

2011-01-31T22:56:00.003+08:00

Back of Radiodrome album

When I was watching สิ่งเล็กเล็ก ที่เรียกว่า..รัก, A Little Thing Called Love, yesterday, Mario Maurer caught my eye and I decided to watch another Thai film he starred in - รักแห่งสยาม, The Love of Siam. I looooved both films! Anyway while watching the latter, I really liked the songs and the other lead besides Maurer; Witwisit Hiranyawongkul aka Pchy (Pitch). So I wiki-ed Pchy and found out that the band in the show was legit! August band indeed started out as a band part of TLoS, but eventually made their debut as a band. I love their music! They're not your typical boyband. They have 5 vocalists and the rest play instruments. Extra plus points for having a trombone, trumpet and saxophone as part of the band! Listened to 2 of their albums (Radiodrome and Thanx) as well as a few OSTs and I think I'm addicted. They're kind of young, but age is just a number.

And it scares me when I listen to Thai songs and can understand some lyrics. Although I did study Thai for a semester. I guess I'm more amazed than scared.

Embed พิชและมะเดี่ย (Better Morning) by Pchy and the director of TLoS. I know embed music is annoying but I want people to listen to it, nyehhh. Hahahaha.

And this is Pchy. I know he looks really young but he is a year older! '89 that is. Haaaaaaaa.

maybe 어쩌면 니가 내가 기다린 반쪽인건지

Moustache ring from Sue! :D Super cute. Super small. Hence... Nose hair ring.

Had our NINTH ukissmesg gathering yesterday! I don't even know if I counted correctly, but it should be our 9th. Including the times where we ~meet-up~ when the boys are here, it'll be the 11th. Ha. Time flies, time flies. I still cannot believe how this little fan community has grown so much bawwwwwww.

Went to the arcade place again after lunch after church today (Oh ho! English fail. Aiyah.) ANTHEA'S INFLUENCE. But this is so addictive and fun! We hit jackpot and got Liqing that huge Rilakumma and I have 2 smaller Rilakummas, a Yoshi for Germaine, Stitch, Pooh, the Alien from TS, an Alien pouch etc. Bwahahaha 8)

Okay going to continue watching my Thai movie, สิ่งเล็กเล็ก ที่เรียกว่า..รัก - A Little Thing Called Love, and then do housework and... Stuff. I can't remember what I need to do because I'm so sleepy rn. Snores.

(No, I don't snore)

The new semester has kicked in. I usually start off the semester all geared up to study hard and then lose all drive to study within a week. This time round I started the semester by unwillingly dragging myself to school. Ha. Ha. But that's because this school week doesn't seem like a school week to me. Afterall, the CNY break is next week, and the first week of school is always boring and pretty useless -_-;

I came home and got bored today. I printed the 211 exercises and did 2 questions before it got boring, watched Secret Garden and even that got boring! Then did a pretty horrible cover of IU's 'I need a boy' which is a cover of Taeyang's and played the guitar for 2 hours or so. It wasn't boring but my hands started to hurt :( So I did the translations for U-Kiss' Star Cam but got bored after 2 minutes. I couldn't find anything else to do, so I went and took a shower.

Now my hair needs to dry so that I can go to bed :(

SCHOOL IS STARTING SOON!

We got our results back and after scrolling through Degree Audit over and over, I am aghast at how badly I have done so far. It's all my fault. I skip 8 out of 10 lectures, attend 1 out of 5 tutorials (if you realise, both digits are exactly the same... But I guess not everybody's minds are math-wired. Anyway.) and obviously that's not helping at all. That plus the fact that I look at my notes and go -_-boooringggggg. I'm left with 5 semesters and I need to work really hard to save my GPA.

My GPA is going to fall into the 2.x range soon, if it makes some of you feel better. But I didn't do as badly as I expected this semester so thank God for giving me another chance.

I will stop telling myself I hate Chemistry. CHEMISTRY, I AM GOING TO MARRY YOU.

Sing, sing, sing.

x Got my driving licence! Finally. Mummy's been letting me do the driving, teehee. Drove to the supermarket for grocery shopping, driving to and fro work with her etc.

x MARIO KART. New obsession. My sisters & I spend over an hour everyday racing.

x I made my first Amigurumi octopus :) I'm going to give it to Ah Ma since she taught me how to crochet :) Amigurumi is surprisingly easy and quick and fun, I think I'll do a few more before school kicks in! I also want to make a big, thick scarf, but Singapore's weather doesn't agree :(

x Finished watching 매리는 외박중 and I loved the show, didn't manage to finish 시크릿가든 but with all the rave reviews, I really want to watch it again. Been watching 드림하이 recently and I think it's pretty good so far :)

x School's starting in about 10 days and I don't know how to feel about it.

Perth 2010

2011-01-04T23:48:00.005+08:00

Sorrento Quay, Hillarys Boat Harbour, WA

Headed off to Perth, Western Australia the night after we finished our last paper. We didn't do much during this trip, considering how most of the places were closed over the Christmas/New Year period. It was a good trip away from fast-paced Singapore and without the Internet :) I sure missed out a lot while I was away but it doesn't bother me.

I brought my camera along but forgot the charger, so it died after the first day (which means I basically had photos of the airport and the plane and nothing else). Genius! The camera's not with me currently so no photos from there. Haha.

The few I have are from my humble 3.0 megapix phone camera. Let's let the pictures talk.

We were at Karri Valley/Pemberton for the first 3 nights. We stayed at this chalet in the forests. Was fun :)

Crazy brother and sister climbing the Gloucester tree.

Cheesecake shop! I took this photo mainly because it reminded me so much of Alex & Kev. Ahaha.

What we ate at Fishing Boat Harbour in Fremantle. Seafood for the boys & fish and chips for us. Gosh I had enough fish and chips to last me a lifetime (I only ate it twice but... =_=)

The beach near the harbour. I wanted to take pictures of the cute seagulls but it was so windy, my hair kept getting in the way. I couldn't be bothered tying my hair up and the sand was annoying my eyes so I took a picture of my shadow. Oh ho ho. Err yeah.

We played Frisbee outside the house we were staying in at Ellenbrook. Teehee. I was having a back ache that day from sleeping wrongly. Age is catching up with me.

I attempted to make a conscientious effort *coughs* to take pictures of our food. I obviously failed.

Part of the rings I scored in Australia. My favourite ring is not pictured :(

We came across a Sunday market somewhere in Perth on the last day! (In the carpark of a shopping mall, lol). They were packing up so we didn't see much and didn't buy anything. Grace pointed out this lady carrying a tin lunchbox into her car that she got at the market. Argh! It was so adorable, I want it.

Random picture of my bracelet... That the immigration officers made me take off during the security checks at the airport. Lol.

Took these photos with some retrocam app I downloaded on my phone. Haha. And this concludes my post on my trip to Australia. Wahaha.

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!

May the good year bring you only good stuff, but not-so-good stuff too if it'll help shape your life.

Tis' the season to be jolly

2010-12-21T01:52:00.002+08:00

Left: christmas cards to send locally. Right: christmas cards to send overseas.

Oh dear, am I in the wrong country?! Bwahaha. Another paper down today. It actually wasn't as horrendous as I expected it to be... Although it wasn't marvelous. The definitions they asked for left me dumbfounded, seriously.........

Came back and finished up stuff for Christmas. I intended to hit the books (it's 2am now, snore) but the sandman won't spare me. I'm nursing a super headache and sleepy eyes so I'm going to give in and go to bed :(

Papa's coming over tomorrow! Have to wake up early and do a little cleaning up, study a bit then head to the dentist's, the printer & then send out the cards. Wooooot!

This semester is the semester of never ending papers. Never ending terrible papers.

Thunderstorms

2010-12-19T23:30:00.004+08:00

I like grey skies, loud thunder and flashing lightning. But I don't like thunderstorms. No wait, I do like thunderstorms. I love crazy thunderstorms. That's only when I'm at home and I can hide under my blanket with a book while the war goes on outside my windows. I wish it would storm now. I can study best when it rains really heavily. Put on some music and listen to it with the rain while studying. Yessss. Please rain, now?

I think every single person is going to roll their eyes at me for saying this for the umpteenth time (omg and failing e v e r y single time) but I hope I pray I will try to go to school more next year and I will study harder.

I also want to stop wasting my life away.

Do you notice how each paragraph starts with I? I hate it when that happens, it makes me feel self-centered. Ehhhhh yes.

Huuuuu :(

2010-12-17T23:32:00.002+08:00

See, I added my poor self to the (incomplete) group picture. Well, I was having dinner with them initially and then the worst thing I have experienced in my LIFE happened.

Let's just say it involved alot of me hiding in the toilet cringing in pain, eventually collapsing on a sofa at the nursing area, drenched in cold sweat and my mum rushing over to Northpoint to pick me up and send me to the doctor's.

Food poisoning.

Torturous but I think I am more than alright now and I'm going to resume eating. Eh, I meant studying.

GLAD YOU GIRLS HAD FUN YTD! ♥

P/S: Grace is definitely not the slackest in our team, jsyk :P

4 MORE!

2010-12-14T21:32:00.002+08:00

I almost leaped in joy when I saw this sitting on the shelves of 7-eleven early Sunday morning! Vitamin water is finally in Singapore. Our lives are complete *plays dramatic music* ... Yeah.

EXAM HELL STATUS: 2 DOWN 4 TO GO! 앗싸~~~~~~

Okay sorry, I have the tendency to ~reward~ myself a bit too much after I finish a paper, much more when I finish 2 papers in a day, okay! CBC961 was stupid. The entire paper was just stupid. I actually enjoyed studying for food chem but what on earth was that paper? Pfft. Thai was surprisingly manageable :D ?aacaan chan rak khun!! :* ㅋㅋ So instead of studying last night/this morning, I drew up 40 christmas cards for the 키스미 & then designed a postcard for the U-Kiss fan communities /winkwink/

And I had so much fun 8D/ As compared to the last 2 weeks of studying and studying and studying and I am going back to study now sobs.

You're so gangster, I'm so thug

2010-12-11T17:32:00.002+08:00

Mummy bought me a set of pretty teacups! We went to Uncle Tony/Aunty Mary/Marcus' Christmas Sale at her house & these teacups caught my eye immediately. So pretty :3 Also got a box of fairy lights to put in my room. I'll only do up the lights next year, though, after deciding on how I want to decorate my room :3

Went home on Friday to meet my favourite feline friend. She's been acting weird recently, according to the people at home. This morning when I called her up to my room she ran up so quickly and starting rubbing herself against my leg and pawing it. Eventually she tried to bite me so I chased her away. I know she wanted to play but... I'm scared of her teeth. LOL.

Germaine bought me this cow pattern from Taiwan. Lol I did it up quickly and it looks kind of... Psycho. Psycho cow ftw. Bwahahaha.

I have a whole list of things lined up for after-exams again. What's new ;~; I have a whole list of plans for 2011, which includes a 365 project (I've yet to decide what it'll be on, though) and stuff. Will work on a few during our holiday in Perth! Way more exciting than studying :|

미쳤나봐 ㅋㅋ

2010-12-10T00:10:00.002+08:00

I should just quit school and enrol with Hogwarts and read my future in my ~~tea leaves~~ milo.

Alternatively... I should stop doing stupid things like that and study... Harder.

Glittery cards

2010-12-08T22:15:00.002+08:00

HAAAAY I AM HERE TO RANT ABOUT MY STUDYING WOES AGAIN.

Nah. It's all better today. Because I didn't touch my core modules. I only studied my electives so all's good... Since they're relatively manageable.

& doing christmas cards to keep sane. I have 훗 stuck in my head now & I keep randomly bursting out singing 눈 깜빡 할 사이 넌 또 Check it Out~! No fun -_-;

I just tried linking my blog to Twitter, so if I click publish now, will it tweet? Hmm... 3, 2, 1...

죽겠다!!!

2010-12-08T02:33:00.002+08:00

(cr: weheartit)

Studying is killing me. There's something wrong with me. I can't study. I can't study something I no longer have interest in. I went to school today to study with Yolanda and I surprisingly managed to do 212 3 hours straight, until I hit one point where I just couldn't get. And it made me really restless, my head started spinning and I starting breaking out in sweat, so I just shut my books.

And I haven't been able to continue since then. I've taken refuge in drawing, and drawing, and drawing, and drawing. I look at my notes and my head starts to hurt. I have to churn out two lab reports by tomorrow but I can't be bothered. 누가 살려줘~~~~

I think I'm going to fail this semester and the thought freaks me out, so I start studying like mad, and then that same thought overwhelms me and everything stalls and I just start blaming myself.

Off to psycho myself to believe that I like chemistry like how I used to.

DJ got us falling in love

2010-12-05T00:06:00.002+08:00

You can never have too many pictures of your feet.

We had our ~last~ lab session of the semester and everybody was taking pictures and doing stock checks and bidding the lab goodbye, but I have make up lab on Monday -_-; & you know, I honestly thought oh hay, end of lab reports. But I went to check the curriculum and saw 216, 315, 316 /HEADDESK.

Speaking of headdesk. I kind of messed-up my experiment. Look at my super high yield!

Uhhuh, and we were supposed to have two products. I actually know what I did wrong, but... It's too embarassingly STUPID. STUUUUUUUPID. But all's well. Mai saved my life ♥ I was just sulking at my fume hood because I'm like that.

Woot woot, favourite drink. I have a dozen in my fridge \o/ Ha. It's freeeeeezing cold again; brr. Anyway I'm doing something for the Kiss Me & others for Christmas! 8) I hope it'll all work out, since exams are round the corner. I'm still trying to psycho myself not to give up on this semester.

AIN'T THAT MISTER MISTER

2010-12-03T02:48:00.002+08:00

Inevitable part of studying. Doodling ugly stuff, writing random comments in Korean, talking to myself on paper, writing cheesy chinese lyrics (& realising that I've forgotten how to write half of the Chinese words I used to know. Lol.)

I've been working on my lab report for... I don't even know. I don't know how to write it! 왕짜증 is an understatement, okay. What electron spin. More like my head is spinning okokok jajaja blarghhhhhhhhhhh.

The only thing I've done that's close to productive tonight is scream "HEY SOUL SISTER AIN'T THAT MISTER MISTER ON THE RADIO STEREO" really loudly. I hope my neighbours didn't hear it, nehnheneh.

I miss my mum, dad, cat and everybody back in Ang Mo Kio. Sigh. 3 MORE WEEKS. And I'll be done with another (messed up) semester at NTU. Ughhh cannot screw up again must study must study must study.

I studied till 7am this morning (although at the end it felt like I learnt ~nothing~) and totally fainted until I choked in my sleep and got up at noon... To find out Alexander brought my bear onto the show again. Woot woot. Hahahaha.

Okay bye, listen to Jason Chen. He is so amazing.

열공中?

2010-12-02T04:04:00.002+08:00

4am. The wind at 4am is always the best. I'm sitting here with my blanket and my notes with my headphones on. It's the best time I can focus on my work (partially because everybody else is asleep) so I've given in and decided to study at this inhumane time. I've done it twice this week now (i.e. Monday and today u_u), studying till everybody else wakes up, sneaking a few hours of sleep before school and crashing when I get back, waking up when the sun sets. I know it's probably not going to do my body clock any good especially when the exams kick in, but it's the only way I can study. I don't know why either.

Pshhhhh. I hate studying.

다시 시작 해볼까?

2010-10-17T00:49:00.005+08:00

I turned 20 today! I feel really old, I can literally hear my joints creaking (?) I don't make sense, whatever! Watched 'Eat, Pray, Love' with Liqing, Ant, Cord & Grace. I looooooved the show almost as much as I loved the book but as expected, a lot of parts of the book were left out.

I got a birthday cake for the first time in a long time (I always refuse cakes because I dislike being the center of attention orz) hyukhyukhyuk.

Pictures are all with Papa so here are some blur ones from my lousy camera, tsk tsk. My favourite cousins!

Received birthday greetings from over 150 people, I feel super loved, LOL! Most of them were Kiss Me from all over the world & yup yup thank you everybody 알랍븅~! ^-^v

Okay bye going to watch WGM 8)

2010-10-13T22:11:00.001+08:00

STILLLLLLLLLLL~ It's alive & I didn't lose anything! (Besides a few days of my Paint Tool SAI trial)

I have a lab report to complete (almost... done...) & a tutorial to do (HAVE NOT STARTED OMGOSH) but all I did since I came home was watch TV, go buy icecream with sister, sit in living room, play guitar..... OTL gg to study forreal.

/facepalm forever.

고민고민

2010-10-01T23:36:00.002+08:00

SERIOUSLY. I cannot even start to believe how bad this week has been.

So after the last post, indeed... Finished my accounting tutorial and went to bed. Felt a sore throat coming on but decided I won't be sick.

Wednesday morning? Woke up with a really bad throat + pounding head. Decided to give school a miss (2 lectures + 2 tutorials) and sleep more. Got up again, felt terrible but decided that I have to do my work so set up my computer on the floor and started doing Inorg tutorial. But? Left my bottle of water uncapped next to my computer. After showering, decided to move the table and? Splash! Laptop flooded.

/RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGE.

Turned it off at lightning speed, flipped computer upside down, dried it etc. Decided to leave it to dry.

Continued with tutorials despite headache and urge to sleep. Coughing and sneezing by then. Lab on Thursday, lab report incomplete. Went to bed really, really early.

Got up early to finish the lab report (in an extremely sloppy manner no less tsk), still felt really unwell but didn't want to miss lab. Tried to turn on my computer and it worked (YAY). Left the house for school and? It started pouring mercilessly. It was all flooded outside my house so by the time I got on to the bus I was drenched. That, plus a cold train ride didn't really help with my cold.

Sniffed and felt terrible throughout the day but miraculously survived lab without being too much of a mess... I hope :P Came home and crashed after taking some medicine.

CBC215 lab report... Untouched. Thank God for Munling who helped me out with my NMR! I couldn't sleep well the whole night because I was getting chills on and off, plus my entire body was aching due to the flu. Got up at 3am to do my report, couldn't take it, went back to bed. Up again at 4am, still really bad, eventually dragged myself out at 6 and worked on the report for 2 hours before rushing off to school. Thank God again, Mummy decided to send me in.

Survived lab. My head was still a little woozy but I thought I managed everything quite o-kay. Until the end, the lab was already emptying, and the TA tried to speed my experiment up by using a water bath. Butter fingers... The conical flask slipped out of my hands and fell into the water bath and I got water into my solution :( Sigh. Basically that was game over for my experiment.

Came home feeling rather rotten. Decided to turn on my computer and to my utmost horror - I COULDN'T. The computer could start up (barely - only up to the rebooting stage) but the keyboard was DEAD.

Idek. I'm still not completely recovered from my cold, my computer is dead, I missed a lot of lessons (and of course, my teacher had to give out instructions for an assignment in Thai which I totally missed, but Thank God, Doris told me all about it), I submitted 2 really sloppy lab reports & I messed up my lab session.

I'm going to sit in my closet for the rest of my life. Don't even try to get me out. Hmph.

Oh, hello.

2010-09-28T19:51:00.002+08:00

Finally doodled after a really long time! Just a quick one. Yeah... All my time has pretty much been eaten up by school :(

We had our first test of the semester, which I thought went on quite okay but you never know. Now I just feel like sitting back and doing nothing, so I took my wacom out (which has been sitting on my shelf to save me from being distracted D:) and opened my new favourite program; Paint Tool SAI! :) & realised I can't really doodle because once I start to think of what I should draw, everything school related comes hurling at me, especially the fact that I have not touched the accounting tutorial for tomorrow.

So a quick one before I go attempt the tutorial for the most boring subject ever on earth -_-;

The semester has been flying past rather quickly. When I counted the number of weeks on Sunday, my jaw literally fell as I realised it's Week 5. How fast! I'm almost half way through my 1st semester of Year 2?! How on earth... Speaking of Year 2, this year feels completely different from the last. For one, it's a million times more draining! & alot more time is spent in the lab, which I love being in... If only I was less clueless when it comes to labwork and also if I didn't feel so filthy everytime I stepped out of the lab :|

Didn't get the digital painting module too. I'm quite glad though, I don't think I would have been able to cope! Haha.

I think I may use my Tumblr for picture posts and Blogger for the words. I don't know, I'm still obviously stuck between the two. Tumblr is under maintainence now though :(

I've also recently been really attracted to Photography, which is bad because I want a DSLR so much now ;~; I blame myself for deciding to read up on DSLRs and their functions. Ughhhhhhh.

Okay, hi accounting!

헐

MIXED FEELINGS.

2010-07-06T00:56:00.004+08:00

I cannot decide whether to post on my Tumblr or Blogger, so I posted at both. Whoosh! Hi, Alexander.

I had Ben & Jerry's for the first time in my life. Wasn't impressed :P Met up with Ant after church with sister & Liqing to waste time before heading down to Novena. We had a... Kind of gross lunch at Harbour Front Centre too D:

We got bored. Ant isn't really sleeping, tsk tsk. & I was amused at the not so amusing fake grass lookalike mat thing at b&js. Hahaha.

Met up with the girls at Novena! There were 16 of us /gasps. Haha we ate at Seoul Yummy & I totally struggled with counting the money thanks. LOL. Talked about everything under the sun for 3 whole hours after dinner too :)

Mummy told me the other day that we are most likely heading over to Korea at the end of the year for our annual family vacation TEEHEEHEE. They have plans to go to Busan, Jeju etc. Which also means we won't be in Singapore for Christmas/New Year but we don't care. Haha. Yessssssssss, this means I've been to Korea once a year.

I'm also dying of jealousy at my friends like Shanna & Mai in Yonsei summer programme right now. Ant & I are going to apply next year 8D/ I srsly hope I get in, haha.

Ok I'm off to do my stuff before sleeping again. LOL. Meeting Ant (The Vin to my Alvin - but her bias isn't Kev :|) tomorrow for Math trail planning -0-;

머리 아닌 가슴으로 하는 이야기

It's been raining for hours & hours. I like :) I've just been lazing around watching dramas, blog-surfing, doodling and working on my cross-stitch for my parents.

Headed to PS yesterday to hunt for something for Kenneth kor² who left for Sydney last night. Ended up buying chocolates, eating at HK Cafe & spending too much money at Daiso again. Going to the airport made me feel like hopping into a plane and leaving Singapore.

/abrupt ending.

I think I have a new favourite food. QQ rice! I love the kimchi :Q It shall join my list of current obsessions (lipbalm, hand sanitizers, wet wipes & plasters). I have 3 lip balms & 3 different hand sanitizers - not crazy at all. I had to stop myself from buying 2 more lipbalms today T__T

I also finally applied for ibanking. God bless my bank account. I will try to have self-discipline :|

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MAKNAE! :*

It's pretty amazing watching you grow up. From the little boy who hid behind his hyungs during interviews, to this big guy here who talks back to his hyungs. From the cornrows, to the mushroom head, to red hair, to blonde hair. From feeding milk to your toy dog on TV, to being the MC of SSGB, playing baseball. You're still the same Dongho I know. U-Kiss' 귀염둥이.

#HappyDonghoDay! ♥

"Thank you all. We want to thank all of our Singaporean fans for supporting us for all this time. You've been so loyal to us. All I wanna say is we love you all from the bottom of our hearts. Thank you so much. Yes that's right. Thank you all for supporting us since the beginning of our debut. Without you guys we won't be here now. We promise we will try to come back here again. I just wanna let you guys know we love you. Thank you."

- Eli & Alexander ♥

Since I missed their end of the road performance in Singapore, I sort of died a little inside when I watched the fancam. I guess after all the projects and sending those presents, they are aware. I know Alexander knows, thanking us for our support all these while.

These 7 boys are so precious. I really don't regret doing all these for them. Not gonna lie, when we were receiving all that hate and bashing before they come, it hurt pretty badly, I wanted to give up. But when the boys came & they were so appreciative, I take that all back.

I'm only really sorry the fans were so harsh. 너무 쌔 진짜. 그리구 매내저 님이 '싱가폴 팬들 제일 무서워' 이런 말이 할때 난 진짜... 마음이... 흑~ 속상했어요 ㅠ 저희는 유키스 위해 준비 많이 했는데 이런 말이 들었다... 완전 실망했다. 그렇지만 친절하고 애들에게 잘 하는 팬들도 있잖아. 그 팬분들에게 나 진짜 진심으로 감사했다. 공항에서는 팬분들 유키스가 못 지켜서 울었다~ 이 상황 볼때 솔치기 감동 받았다. 특히 "이들이 왜 그렇게?! 키스미 아니야! 왜 우리 유키스 맴버들에게 그렇게!" 이거.. 나두... ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ

Anyway, bad 'fans' aside, some of the girls are REALLY sweet, thanking us and all. I'm srs I almost started bawling after reading the thread Phyllis started ♥

Now it's over, it's time to keep running the forum & get my butt back on Rocketsubs too. I started work again today and I had so much to do. SO MUCH MATH x__x

BTT tomorrow and I haven't started studying ._.

U-KISS // JUNE 2010

Fan accounts with U-Kiss are always difficult to write for me, but I know people want to read it so~ I'll do it :) I didn't carry a camera around so there's no pictures. I'll try to steal some from Cord :P

19 June (MALAYSIA)

After 3 awesome days of church camp, headed down to Berjaya Times Square where we were staying :) We were srsly elated to see the big shopping mall ok. LOL. Met up with Rusee, Sue & Cord, lunched & headed down to KLCC.

Showcase/fanmeet was great ♥ Liqing got to go on stage to play games and got a group hug from the 7 boys! When Alexander found out who she was he was jumping on stage; HAHA.

Fansign was okay. The boys are super nice! Ant asked Kevin if he remembered us and he said, "yes!" but what rubbish, he didn't. When Ant mentioned we were in Korea he was all "really? when?" and said sorry. HAHA. Dongho was next and my goodness maknae is so good looking, all of us left the place feeling like pedophiles.

... You know what? My memory kind of fails me. When I was at Alexander, he wasn't looking up, just signing. And..

G: I don't have anything for you, your bear is naked.
A: Sorry?
G: -swings bear- It's naked, I don't have time!
A: -looks up and realises it's me- OH, FINALLY! Are you going back to Singapore tomorrow too?
G: Yup. Not your flight, though.
A: Oh really?

By then the queue moved & Alex was signing Ant's CD so Kibum was in front of me but I was talking to Alex. I'm terribly sorry to bum tbh~ Boy don't sit next to Alex in future ._. When I turned to him he was done signing ㅠ

KB: -holds out CD- 싱가폴 팬? (Singapore fan?)
G: 네. (Yes)
KB: 아, 고맙습니다! (Ah, thank you!)

The end. YES ;~; Ant was talking to Eli so I didn't talk to him. She ignored Kibum, he was like "사인 좀 받으세용~ *pouts*" Aw.

Soohyun made me realise I can speak Korean pretty fluently if I want to. Haha. Gave him the birthday book from ukissme.SG :)

G: 안녕하세요~
SH: Hi~~~ -signs-
G: 늦었지만~ 생일축하해요! 싱가폴 팬들에게~ (Although it's late~ Happy Birthday! From the Singapore fans~)
SH: Oh really? 감사합니다! (Thank you!)
G: 응. 내일봐요! (See you tomorrow!)
SH: See you! See you... Tomorrow... In Singapore!

Then manager kept my CD and passed it to the staff. I was all ?__? but Soohyun saw and he turned around and gave me my CD. Hahaha. While waiting for the rest to end, we did the ILY fanchant. Soohyun was nodding along and then realised he was supposed to give out CDs so he turned.

After it ended we headed for waffles at A&W and then shopped around before heading back. Guess what, I have my first Colonize pullover. No surprises, it's the pancoat one. Nyahaha.

20 June (SINGAPORE)

Took Air Asia back to SG ;) Airport experience was funny & I'll never forget it. U-Kiss was supposed to land at 1020 at T2, we were supposed to land at 1110 at T1. Since we're fated to be with U-Kiss /bricked, we landed around the same time as them, ran to T2 and once we reached, they walked out. Not many fans around since most were at IMM already. Met 쿠로언니 too! Ran to our van, hopped onto it and zoomed off. The curtains were pulled shut so we only saw them at the hotel.

Left the hotel and headed to IMM to join the rest of the fans. Lunched and then queued. The sun was merciless ;~; Tried to get everyone high but we were so tired we just died doing the fanchants. Not enough sleep + running at the airport + crazy sun + trying to shout = Killer. When U-Kiss came I was sitting on the floor because I felt like fainting. Seriously, my head was spinning as fast as my fan.

Fanmeet went on, fansign etc. Fansign was pimping ukissme.SG time. Hahaha. Dongho was first, wrote a note for sister to ask if he remembered her in 2008. He nodded! Only said hi to Dongho & Kiseop. Eli was awkward. Asked him if he got the book and initially he was all... Huh? Then he went "Oh, oh, OHHHH you guys are ukissme..." and I got too excited and went all "YES YES UKISSME.SG" on him. & then it was Kibum and omg Kibum I am terribly sorry. Grace was next to me so she nudged me and I leaned towards Alex and said "she's my sister!", which means I totally ignored Kibum again D: He said 고맙습니다 again, though ._. Alexander was all "OH, HELLO~~~~~~" and Grace imitated him. Alexander stuck out his hand and then started stammering, I sort of lol-ed inside. He said thanks for the book & everything & said he had the book in his bag and all :') Kevin thanked us too. Aw Kev. Asked Soohyun if he saw the book but he couldn't quite hear me, he was all 뭐? What? But when he heard he said "Oh I remember that! Thank you!" Initially thought it was our book, but from his 'I remember', I assume it was from the Malaysian fanmeet - i.e. his late birthday msg book.

Went off stage feeling happy & appreciated. Sweet boys are sweet. Also, Kibum recognised us from Malaysia when he came on stage. He is terribly sweet for spotting us in the crowd. Dongho totally loved Grace's 62405 board!

Headed to Mediacorp after and queued for Sheng Siong Show. Before it started, the MC guy was being annoying :P He kept publicising ukissme.SG though. Haha. Gave out pink and white balloons... We only bought 200 and I honestly did not expect the entire studio to be Kiss Me O__O But while he was annoying, I changed my mind about him. It's his job to be annoying since he was the person who prompts the audience to cheer. He gave us a chance to do our ILY fanchant (HAHAHAHA SHEESH WE'RE ANNOYING TOO) when U-Kiss was backstage & I could feel Kevin staring holes into us, I was so embarassed I looked away ._. It was fun though, reading out their tweets into the mic & having the whole studio cheer. Most of the fans there were darlings and were very sporty ♥ With the embarassing bai bei qian bei thing :S

... I also realised alot of people know my name but I couldn't recognise some of them. Sorry! And also, I am not the chairman of ukissme.SG ._.

Uncle Alan bought London Choco Rolls for us because he was afraid we'd be hungry & he sent us home after Ant aegyo bombed him. Teehee. I left my phone in the van x_o

WRITING FANACCOUNTS IS SO DIFFICULT.

21 June (SINGAPORE)

Showcase day! We didn't stalk U-Kiss because we wanted to queue up :) Even though we knew we didn't have to. The queuing was pretty okay I guess~

Picked up litter because some fans can't clear their own. Collected the cakes and headed into St James first. We were placed upstairs so that we could go down to the stage later on. Lucky draw winners joined us so we had sister, Aricia and Ohmsin with us :D/

When the showcase started, guess who noticed us at the side immediately? None other than bum :') Sweet boy is very sweet ♥ Ant got tonnes of fan-service from Eli~ way to go Eli!

Going onto the stage was less nerve wrecking than I expected. I was hand-signing with Alexander the whole time, told him to stand next to Dongho and he was like nononono -__-; He thought I just wanted him to stand with me. Oh please! LOL. Eventually I went over to him, and DJ Ken helped us out so thank you so much Ken ♥ I'm so glad I bumped into you backstage, even if it meant I had to miss their performance of 'End of the Road'. Kibum was super sweet again, he turned around while we were backstage and gave us that... Kibum look and also was the only one to turn and say '고마워요'. Also, Eli ripped his shirt and gave us that O__O;;;! look which was pretty epic I say. HAHAHAHA.

& yes I'm really calm around U-Kiss. I don't get flustered or excited or whatever. Because they're special boys and they're more than celebrities to me :)

We didn't stalk them either~ Wanted to bring Kuro out to eat :D Had no appetite at all though :(

22 June (SINGAPORE)

Most hectic day. Headed down to the hotel around 11 to see many fans sitting around. Loitered outside for a while trying to figure out where we were to deliver our snacks. Haha. Left it with the front desk in the end.

The boys didn't come out for the entire day till around 3 or 4. & seriously, some fans were just shooting us dirty looks and trying to get information out of us. It's not that we don't want to tell you, we really didn't know a thing. It's up to them to believe us though.

News came to us that fans were going up to the hotel rooms. We were really disappointed. The hotel security told us their security was very tight & there's cameras etc. when we told them to make sure it doesn't happen. Right... Ant was super disappointed she started crying. She told me, "my U-Kiss is so nice, how can they treat them like that?" and tbh I thought I was going to start crying too.

Anyway Uncle Alan was super nice, he bought chickens for us. LOL! The van uncles were all in our van playing cards & all. Super epic. Saw manager shim walking out. When he came back we apologised for the fans' bad behaviour. He only nodded.

Walked around with Willy and we randomly walked out of the lobby & saw Alex & Kev getting onto a maxi. Didn't manage to catch them. Eventually heard they were at ION but didn't go over. We were pretty disappointed to hear the 2 boys couldn't even shop in peace.

They came back but I didn't see them. BEST. I was sitting in front of the maxi talking to Rusee when they came back. Saw the maxi come and leave but didn't see them. Haha.

When the 7 boys all came out, followed them to dinner. We took away and ate in the van. Muahaha. Fun. Rusee proposed that we do a human barricade (thank you ruseeeeeeeee) at the airport and after some debating we decided that we'll give up seeing the boys because we didn't want a repeat of the hotel incident.

When we reached there, it was pretty messy and crowded already. Managed to get in place and got approval from Manager Shim. Phew. He helped us alot. Warner didn't want our help. So we called him too and I said '어젯 밤에 팬들 잘못했어, 죄송합니다.' Apologised for the night before at the hotel. He just nodded again. And he made a false alarm, making the fans scatter and dash towards another gate - we got tricked =_= He had this smirk on his face and I ran to him and exclaimed '갔어요?!' (They left?!) and he actually said '어어, 갔어요, 빠이빠이' (Yes they left, bye bye) which led me to go '아 매내저 님 왜요!!!!!!!!!!!!' (Manager, why!!!!!!!) Haha. But yes they didn't, they just moved off to get into a single van.

The rest was chaos. We got pushed down eventually and all fell, got stepped on etc. But we made half the way and the boys were okay. The girls all broke down and cried, poor things. They were worried that U-Kiss got injured because fans were hurling gifts at them.

To those that helped us; don't be upset. The boys are aware of what we did for them & so did the manager. And they're safely back in Korea. That's all that matters. I know you guys are disappointed by the fans' behaviour too. Don't cry anymore, okay! :) ♥

All in all, the boys are really sweet and appreciative towards all that we prepared for them :) We didn't quite follow them around everywhere but I'm okay with that. I had tonnes of fun with the girls in our van and all, I think we got closer over the few days ♥ I'm glad we have U-Kiss who helps us forge new friendships and have fun together.

You know, to most of you guys, these 7 guys are just some stars out there. & to me they are more than just 7 stars. & you will never understand. You guys think I'm stupid and wasting my time, running this forum, doing so much for them for this event.

No matter what I say, no matter how I justify myself, to you guys, it's all gibberish.

Through the 7 of them, I met real good friends. Through the 7 of them, I met people who helped me mature spiritually. Through the 7 of them, I experienced situations I never thought I ever would. Through U-Kiss, I've learnt alot.

You don't believe me, I know. I won't make you believe me.

I just wish one day people stopped rolling their eyes at this.
