On the brink
I have been really whiny these two days. I dont even have the slightest idea why and i loathe it.
Am really getting sick of the morning program. Its taking up all of my time besides work and i become extremely irritable when i have too many things on hand and too little time to complete them.
Why on earth do they set up the morning program if they dun even have enough teachers willing to work?
Damn.
I need to calm my nerves and sort out all the crap in my head right now.
곧 떠날 테니까 아무것에 관심 점점 없어지다..
이 세상 내생각보다 마음 안 들었구나.
웃기죠.
앞으로 어떨까?
고단한 사람에게 희망이 도대체 무엇입니까?
차라리 희망을 처음부터 가지지 않는 거 낮다.

Thinking
어제 집에 돌아오는 길에서 또 기억났다..
그 사람에 대해서 모든 기억
그런데 이젠 섭섭하지 않거든
다른 사람 때 문이겠니?
가지 말라고 했으면 얼마나 좋은데 그런 수가 없다고 생각하고 있어서
잊어라..
멍청이.

Bored
Just finished my abalone noodles (ok fake abalone noodles) in the clinic.
I wanna zzzzzzzzzzzzz~~
Heh i finally found my new korean tutor! Had my first class with her yesterday at Bugis national library and she comes across as a pretty straightforward ger. Yeah i used the term 'ger' cos we are actually of the samee age. Anyway she's the kind who doesnt mince her words and really warms up to you really quickly so we got along fine despite being the first time. And she was quite apologetic for bringing along only sogang level 1b book cos she wasnt expecting that i knew everything in there already.
Ooh but for the next class she prepared some comic strips and newspaper articles which i am supposed to print and read before next week. So cute!
One of the comics..^^
Oops I forgot to mention..her name is Mihee. And because her major was Chinese in university plus i think one year immersion in Taiwan n China each..
Her chinese is pretty fluent. Probably better than her english? Lol.
Ok before the doc appears..

Dead
I am dead beat.
Been working 3 shifts for the past 2 days and i foresee another one coming on thursday. Even eunjun's milo couldnt revive me yesterday. Ahh..
Slogging my a** off from 930 to 9 isnt entirely what i had been anticipating when i was looking forward to be relieved from tuition these 2 months. Sorry been kinda grumpy recently due to fatigue. Feel like im buried in things up to my nose.
And i hate it to the core.
More than anything in the world, i crave for time now.
Well only NOW, cos usually money takes priority over everything else. Lol.
Hy once asked me how it would feel to erm, be no longer in this world. Think it would kinda be cool to see the world through your soul. And best of all, you get to float around! Ha. Im a nutcase.
드디어 얼굴이 봤어.. 좀 실망하지만 종은 분 같아서 안심하게 생각해. 내길 가기 시작하겠죠.. 아무리 생각해도 이럴 수 가 없으기까 내길 가야되..

Pissed.
I'm major PISSED off.
Whatever i had mentioned about tiffany previously, please kindly erase it from your mind.
As a kpop supporter, it had never occurred to me that one day i might become an anti of anyone too. But right now at this freaking moment im freaking pissed with SNSD, or more precisely, the freaking Soshifieds, who just deserve to disappear from the face of this world.
I am sorry for cussing them this way but im even sorrier for you if you happen to support this pathetic group.
At the 2008 Dream concert that was just held about more than a week ago, all the major FCs (including Cassiopeia, ELF, TripleS) showed their disdain for SNSD by boycotting their performance. During their 10minute gig on stage, all the fans switched off their flashlights in a silent protest, leaving only a small pathetic group of people waving their pathetic pink balloons n lights. Naturally, this angered the Soshifieds- fanboys who
READ THIS CLEARLY: freaking turned on the fangirls, threatening them with knives and warnings of rape. Excellent behaviour of the soshifieds. MY foot.
They even tore down the posters of Suju and DBSK. WTH.
And there were even reports of them really stabbing some of the fangirls and there were girls being sent to the hospital with injuries, bruises whatever.
In case you think all the FCs were kicking up a fuss over nothing. This is all the freaking deeds that SNSD did.
1. Super Junior - In the case of SUJU, on the Taeyeon-Kangin radio program “Chin Chin”, -Taeyeon said a cuss word that eventually Kangin had to take responsibility! Specifically she called him a “retard” in korean it’s a cuss word. In return Kangin had to defend for Taeyeon and tell listeners she accidentally mispronounced the word, and that she did not say that on purpose.
We all heard how Taeyeon received over 300 hate comments that day! Later that day Soshified began attacking SuJu members KangIn, Eeteuk, Sungmin and DongHae.2. SES - SNSD commented that it would be difficult to follow S.E.S. because its members are artificial.And they added that SNSD is this generation’s beauties. 3. SS501 - When Tiffany saw Park Jung Min, she said he looks like he’d have 10 bank accounts and that he looks funny from far away. During the program, Tiffany also exclaimed “omg HIM”?! when she saw Park Jung Min. She has no right to be an MC. SNSD fans made fun of SS501’s Kim Hyung Joon, saying “he looks disgusting.” They also made fun of Park Jung Min.4. DBSK - Same as what happened with SS501 and SUJU; some members of SNSD did not use formal speech when talking about DBSK and calling their names, like saying “Xiah Junsu” instead of “sonbae”. Jessica guest starred on Park Kyung Lim’s Outing. Park Kyung Lim asked Jessica who her favorite artist was and she said DBSK. Then Park Kyung LIm asked which member in DBSK she liked and she said “Jaejoong”, not using formal speech to say his name. Tiffany showed how witty she was by saying DBSK’s wave of red balloons looked like insects. SNSD fans were upset about the CF that SNSD did with DBSK so they accused DBSK of sexual harassment to give DBSK a bad image and creating a buzz in the internet.5. Big Bang - SNSD made fun of Tae Yang’s real name “Dong Youngbae”, saying “What kind of name is that? It’s not even “Dong Young sang” (videos).” 6. Epik High - TabloTaeyeon was on Kangin’s Chin Chin radio when she saw Tablo at the computer. She said, “Doesn’t he look like a leet “오타쿠” ?(For those who don’t know what leet means, you can look it up in “Urban Dictionary”. But leet is an internet word that has evolved into referring to gamers or computer hackers who are stuck in front of their computers. But in Korean, it also has negative references to the Japanese.)7. Happy Shares Company (만원의행복) show program, SNSD members were rude to the program PD (producer & camera man), intentionally hiding Yoonah (the guest) and giving her food to eat, which is against the rules on the show. When they were finally caught by the PD, they shook their head and said, “We didn’t do anything” and then at the end, blatantly admitted that Yoonah ate something.The PD said, “For someone who is young, you shouldn’t do this, Yoonah.” Yoonah replied, “I’m 18,” while blinking her eyes innocently.Yuri, who was standing in front, said, “We are old enough ~” while Taeyeon grabbed the back of her neck and pretended to fall to the ground, expressing that what the PD said was not “fair”.8. Discriminating on show programs. On a weekend café program, SNSD called a trot singer “Sparkles” (referring to the bright sequined clothes they wear) and said, “Get money from Sparkles~”. The members delayed the serving the singer, saying amongst each other “I don’t like Sparkles”. They made their contempt for the singer evident while showing favoritism for some baseball players also at the café. 9. Disrespected Tei - YoonAh guest starred on Tei’s “Island” radio program. Tei greeted her with a full bow but Yoonha just gave a small bow as if greeting a B-list singer. Tei is not a B-list singer; he is one of the top ballad singers in Korea.10. Wonder Girls- Soshi fans went to Wonder Girls’ fan signing. One SNSD fan went to the Wonder Girls’ fan signing and asked Sunye to sign “Right now is Girls Generation”. This fan also dared to post a picture of Sunye singing this online. Remarks related to Wonder Girls, whenever SNSD asks “Do you like Wonder Girls or SNSD?” they grow cold and silent towards people who say “Wondergirls”. SNSD girls did mic tests while Wonder Girls was rehearsing11. Tiffany disrespected Kim Ji SukCredits from popseoul.comI dont wish to elaborate more on this arrogant, pompous group with vocals and talents that cant be recognised and only knows how to hitchhike on other people's fame. N you would have thought they should at least be equipped with the basic decency to be respectful to their seniors FOR BEING LEECHES.
Enuff said.

A free Sunday
Ahh finally a Sunday i can truly call my own.
Much as i miss 'squabbling' with kyochan, sunday has traditionally a slacking day and i have no reason not to embrace the free time that i have on my hands now. Well, at least for the coming two months til they return to singapore.
A freaking eight hundred and sixty bucks in total in exchange for 2 months of supposed freedom. -__-
Hmm been kept real busy after i came back from Perth and it seemed as if this whole week passed in a flurry. Anyway just a quick recap of relevant stuff.
Tuesday - Met eunjun for lunch at AMK hub before going to readingtown together. Was it Ichiban boshi? Eh cant recall the name of the jap restaurant there now. Anyway, he didnt have english lessons in the morning as his teacher was overseas so i got a treat from him. To be precise, it was a treat to 'return' the treat from me at SU last time. Lol.
Wednesday - Was late for my korean lesson with eunjun but in the end we still had it after work as surprisingly, i had only 2 classes that day i.e. i was free after 530 yet i couldnt go off early as i was the only full timer there (Aneeta took a week's leave after me to go bali). Anyway eunjun taught me til around 8pm when finally mr choi left after saying 2 words.
"간다!"
Excellent. Well, he is the boss.
Thursday - Had chinese class early with this boi (did i ever mention that there were only 3 students for chinese class? its still pretty much a flop in my eyes.) who couldnt stop giggling. I must have sounded or looked like a clown to elicit such a response from him. Lol. But he's the perfect kind of student any teacher would love to have. Diligent n easy to teach.
Oh and i left manwon (만원) in eunjun's care til i come back for him on tuesday. Yeah manwon was so named because eunjun asked how much he was and he converted it to korean won.
Me and manwon at readingtown~ Heh hes a vibrator cushion but i hardly switch on the vibrating device. Makes me feel like puking more. XD.
My room. The name on the door is called Intercontinental room. Dun ask me who named all the rooms cos i will just give you a blank look. Its in the infancy stage cos i hardly decorated it with stuff. For someone who intends to leave in August, i shall not leave too much traces of my presence behind. Oh but theres another SPCA poster which i put up only recently so its absent in the picture.
Eunjun's working room. His own room is somewhere else. Usually he's much messier than this. Lol. Anyway all the pics were taken with my hp so not very clear.
Friday - Hectic day. Was out from 10am to 11pm. I was dragged to watch [kungfu panda] against my wishes by my bro in the morning. Cant say i like the saggy belly much. But the show did make me shed a few drops of tears. Dumb. But the baby leopard n tigress were too adorable! And all the bunny civilians. Lol. Even Master wugui and the other master were not bad. But why on earth is the main character such a slob? Ick.
After the movie was originally supposed to meet hy at 1pm to go to the pc fair together but she flew my kite at the last minute (and i meant it literally) so i quickly gave the only other person who could have been available at this time of the day - juline a call. Luckily, she was having lunch with her friend at raffles place til 2pm so i just had to rot for an hour. Or else i would have been stranded til 630pm for my appointment with kaywee.
Anyway met up with juline at suntec n we headed down to the PC fair. I had asked my bro who was going down there with his friend as well to get my fujifilm z100fd for me but apparently, there wasnt a fuji booth anywhere! Argh. Den where on earth did the flyer come from?? So now im still without a new camera.. Hopefully i can still get something from GSS..
But i did get my 250gb harddisk~ With some help from shawn. My tuition student whom i had not seen in ages and his first question was about my hair. Lol. I nearly couldnt recognise him somehow and there were so many seagate booths there i had some difficulties trying to locate him. Well, overall im pretty glad to see that he had grown up and matured in some ways. Seems to have some grasp about the direction he is heading towards and of cos hopefully he will reach his destination without any major glitch in the future.
I remember i used to place much hope on this kid whom i doted quite alot on last time. But later things changed and drifting apart was inevitable. But anyway i think by now he should be mature enough not to let his mum worry about him again. ^^
예전에 너를 포기했던 일 항상 미안해.. 그리고 이렇게 잘 자라서 참 고마워. 꿈이 현실로 될 수 있는 믿음 언제나 가져라! 알라죠? 싸워야해도 싸워~ 소중한 사람과 것 끝까지 지킬 필요가 있잖아..
I gather i must be getting older n older to start reminiscing.
Ohya after PC fair juline rotted with me at Macs til 630pm before kaywee came. Den we went to catch this at Esplanade Recital studio!

Ehh this wasnt the original poster in singapore but only the words are different. Heh oh i didnt know they were that famous in korea itself. Last for One is a BBoy crew formed since 1997 but their members are all so young. Strange. Lol. The oldest ones were born in 1983 which meant they started dancing when they were just 14? Cool. Anyway though the storyline of [Spin Odyssey] was quite flimsy, the boys' dancing and some pinches of humour scattered throughout the 90mins show made up for everything else. The slick popping, locking, freestyling moves etc.. Woah~~
One word: ZAI.
This is actually the first time i caught professional BBoys upclose and heh it wouldnt be my last one either. Now i hope to catch [Ballerina who Loved a BBoy] too! Saw that Popping Hyun Joon used to be in one of the crews involved. That guy is good k.
And i forgot to mention that there was a cutie in Last for One. Lol. His name is called Shin young suk a.k.a zero-nine. N his face was strangely familiar to me. Cant really find any of his pics anywhere but i did find his cyworld add. Heh.

Reverting to a mundane life
Listening to: Suju M [ME] albumHmm didnt really listen to all the songs on this album previously. But i caught a glimpse of the review for it in the papers while i was on the plane about how to distinguish between the voices of the original suju bois and their 2 new chinese groupmates - Zhou mi and henry, so i thought i would try listening to it again. Ehh not bad sia~ i mean their chinese pronunciation. Kinda cute. Lol.
People have been commenting on how lee soo man keeps on generating subgroups from suju. It's annoying and gets on my nerves sometimes how he's like trying to milk them dry but on the other hand, i think as a E.L.F, we should just continue to show them support rather than distaste for something that is probably beyond suju's control. I know the SuJu = 13 thingy, but now SuJu = 15 hardly makes a difference right? ^^
But yeah, if i may just casually mention, cassiopeians do seem to exert a stronger influence over SM's decisions.
Ok i shall be exceptionally hardworking today and put up some pictures i took over at perth. For once. Haha.
First up, the koala that i got for eunjun~ Ha unfortunately the two leaves that the koala was holding fell off and i had to use super glue to glue it back at home. Anyway it is now sitting cozily on its owner's mini fridge in readingtown. YESH. Wonjangnim got eunjun a mini fridge for his own use in his room!! Lucky guy~ But it kinda stinks cos i opened it yesterday and the kimchi smell was overwhelming. Lol. Gonna take a pic of it if he allows me cos his room is erm not exactly pleasing on the eyes. Pringles, canned drinks, biscuits galore.. XD

Ehh at Perth airport and my paedophilic tendencies kicked in again. Lol. He was really cute!! He was sitting in the next row in the plane and he kept playing the inflight games and talking to himself. But i couldnt get a frontal shot cos he was twirling around.

His mum and younger brother. I think he was still cuter. Ha.


Well basically the same scenery but i thought it was just beautiful beyond words. This was taken at sunset from my balcony window at Mandurah, a smaller town about 45minutes away from Perth city. Everyone loved Mandurah cos the apartment itself was stunning! My dream house~

The front view of the house - Quest Mandurah. There was a small hitch when we checked in cos i didnt know the one that i had booked was actually on private lease so the reception had no inkling about us. So me and my bro had to look for an internet cafe to get the contact details of the owner. But the interior of the house and the feel of the town just about made up for whatever discomfort we had..
To be continued..

Back
Typing this at my mum's clinic now before the doctor appears.
I am finally back from perth!
Ha honestly except for the freezing night over at this farmhouse on a hill i pretty much liked their weather compared to ours. But i think i might just detest winter.. being at subzero temperatures for a few months doesnt really sound very appealing to me. Hated bathing when i was in perth because it was simply too cold. brrr~
Anyway now that im back and the bois have left for korea, its time to tie up all the loose strings that i have left hanging so far. And i seriously need to catch up on my reading~ Right now im reading 'The Catcher in the Rye' by J.D. Salinger. Gonna find out for myself what the hype was over for this book. Maybe 'Lord of the Flies' will be next.. though the synopsis sounds erm kinda dull.
ps/ i miss Baskin robbins!!! Their citrus twist ice is such a darling~~ Ha.
pps/ yeah i DID eat icecream in Perth though it was chilly. Lol.

End of tuition

Took this at the end of tuition today cos the bois will be flying back to korea for their 2-month summer vacation so i will only be seeing them again in august. I am gonna miss them~~ ㅠㅠ Heh especially kyochan (david) who is the older one. Yup hes always comparing his height with me so I told him that i will give him a year's time to grow that extra few inches in order to be taller than me. Lol. In any case, i was leaning slightly in the picture so in actual fact, I am still taller k. xD.
The words that i remember most distinctly from him: “老师喜欢忘记。昨天忘记,今天忘记,明天忘记。” Ha cos im always forgetting stuff. And the sentence that never fails to make him laugh: “妈妈没有给老师钱。” Rofl.
Anyway kyochan looks much cuter in person. Pictures dun do him justice. Lol. As for kyohyun (paul) sometimes he will try to annoy me by stealing my food and water but my heart always melts whenever he plays with my hands. Heh. They are really wonderful kids~
I may not have mentioned this before, but sometimes when im feeling down and still has to go for tuition, it is kyochan who always cheers me up without fail unknowingly. For that, i am really grateful to this innocence in him..and i hope that he will never outgrow it. ^^
Ok my last post before i fly off. Promised eunjun to get a koala for him to put in readingtown in return for agreeing to practise korean with me before work. Ha. Still remember last week the kids were running around calling him 빨간 생선 (red fish) cos he was wearing this red shirt and they refused to call him 선생님.

Left
Listening to: 강찬 [섬김]This song is actually from eunjun's cyworld and it kinda grew on me after hearing it for a few times. Quite nice.
Hmm.
Kiwon오빠 finally left for korea on friday night. My first ever korean friend.
잘 가요.. 오빠. 다 해주셔서 고마워요..
나중에.. 나중에 우리 다시 만날 때까지 내가 꼭 열심히 하니까 그 때 좋은 모습이 보여줄 수 있을까요?
행복해요.. 영원히.
It suddenly occurred to me that next time maybe i will be seeing eunjun leave too. I would love to have more foreign friends but watching them leave is.. quite another thing.
Simply put, the feeling sux.
But i know. Nobody is indispensable in this world. Aint that the case?
Been thinking about my character these few days. Maybe its really time for me to grow up and face the world. The thought is tiring and if there was an alternative, i wouldnt even contemplate it. Yet, its high time i do something about myself.
Anyway on a lighter note, will be leaving for perth on tuesday and only back again on sunday. Reality is a hard slap across the face once you come to acknowledge it, and i would gladly leave for a few days just to avoid it.
I admit, i am a coward.
The world isnt going the way i want it to, and i just want to whine. But when incessant whining fails to produce any results in the long run, maybe i should turn to something more constructive.
난 떠날 사람이다.
내 마음 끝까지 뭘 찾고 있는것 같네..
어떻게 된거예요?
약한 사람이 되기 원하지 않을래요..
