Finally had the time to watch the performance of their latest japanese single.
Was kinda stunned at the length of the title.
どうして君を好きになってしまったんだろう?
Ehh. Isnt that like 18 syllables?
Just to mean simply 'Why have i fallen in love with you?'
Heh but i fell in love with the song the moment jae sang his first line. (how can i not?? LOL.) His どうううう~ that sets off the whole tune is just too PERFECT. Ha. And i like how the melody is kinda haunting so much so that it brought goosebumps to my flesh. Or was it cos of the guy in the PV that looks ghastly? XD But its still nice!! Though i thought the ending of the song was quite abrupt. Oh well the rest of the song more than made up for the tiny flaw. ^^
Ohh and watching the bois playing around at the Grand Canyon for their photobook shooting isnt that appealing cos the place looks too dangerous. Cant they do something less risky? Lol. My heart practically stopped whenever they were climbing up and down the treacherous cliffs. ARgh.
Anyway its eunjun's last day today or rather last day we will be colleagues (unless i come back to readingtown in the future) since he will still work here after he returns in september. But i am gonna see him in korea so yeah. Actually if things go smoothly i might be going to his place for a short homestay. Fun~ Haa. But well have to wait til he can confirm it with me.
암든 잘 가 은준아~

Hello
I came back from KOREA!
And my mom tried to call you but you didn't answer..
Where are you?
A message left for me on my facebook..
Simple yet brought a smile to my face instantly.
Thank you..
kyochan.
for not forgetting~
There is a young boi in my morning class that i wish i could buy home. Lol. He is just waaay too adorable for words. Big puppy eyes that never stop staring at you when you talk to him. Was that why i kept trying to engage him in conversation? Ha. Oops. And i love how he always tries his best to finish his work, but though he never does its still cute. I should just get myself a huge gunny sack and kidnap all the kids i want one day. XDDD
On second thoughts, i wanna kidnap a kid like gong yoo in school uniform.
Ha yeah he just managed to invoke my school uniform obsession. Think jae in SMART or ELITE.
The same japan calendar series that piggy ry has on her blog.. i.e. the last work before he was enlisted. ㅠㅠ
Think its been ages they last did a school uniform CF.
But its so cool how korean school students have to don different sets of uniform for each season. Especially loved the school uniform for gers that appeared in [I am Sam]! Ok it just refueled the dream of teaching in korea..
ps/ 동방신기 몹시 보고 싶어서 죽을 것 같애!!

요새 생각 많이 했다..
사람들이 내 인생으로 쉽게 들어왔다 나갔다 하기 싫다.
마침내 떠날 거니까 차라리 오지마..
이렇게 아플 줄 정말 몰랐다.
너랑 나랑 잘 못 아니라도 앞으로 같은 실수 다시 안 하면 좋을 텐데..
안 그래?
바보.
'바보' 이라고 했던 그 순간부터 마음 또 흔들렸다.
단지 이 감정 스스로 챙길 수 있다고 믿으세요.
당신 힘들지 않게 하기를 바라니까요..
I am jealous of yoon eun hye and gong hyo jin. Or rather, more of the latter.
Why on earth does the PD pair him with gong hyo jin??? I dun mean to be overly critical or superficial but the age disparity n i mean it based on physical appearance is just toooooo vast. I simply cant be convinced! Period.
Sorry i admit im rather superficial at times.. but still!@!&%^$
Ha.
Its just visually more pleasing to see eyecandy boi with eyecandy ger. Especially since the eyecandy boi is gonna fall head over heels in love with the ger, it seem natural that the ger should be eyecandy quality too. Yeah my logic. Eyecandy boi with soreeye ger aint exactly my kind of fairytale. Lol.

Haha im nuts.
Finding myself on the 'coffee prince' bandwagon long after most people have alighted. N i refuse to get off! Lol.
COFFEE PRINCE ROCKS! ^^Ok this show holds quite a few Firsts for me.
1) First time i feel that i can watch the drama all over again cos usually i never rewatch a drama.
2) First time i love the show to bits even though i started off on a reluctant tone cos i wasnt into gong yoo nor yoon eun hye
3) First time i kept replaying the sweet moments between the 2 leads after reading the recaps from dramabeans
4) First time i liked the second male lead more but found myself rooting for the first lead as the show went on
5) First time i liked almost the whole cast! (ha of cos with exception of the old people..)
Ha im still giddy from all the saccharine-laden scenes in the drama that i think i may be suffering from diabetes soon. I dig all the eunchan-hangyul moments, eunchan-hansung moments, the princes moments and even the eunchan-terry moments~ Lol. Did i mention the gorgeous waffle soon ki guy? The comic but adorable harim? And of cos the music director hansung with the extremely to-die-for voice..oh n specs. XDD
I even love the apartments of the Choi cousins. Those are just Beauu..tiful. Especially hangyul's pullout bed!! Awww~~
I still cant believe i can like a show so much when i started off with no interest in the leads. It just completely changed my mindset from now on. Haha.
The pace is good, the storyline is light-hearted and i love the sprinkles of humor throughout the whole drama. But best of all, all the adorably sweet gestures that gongyoo did for yoon eunhye just had me captivated and glued to the screen.. ok it just reduced me instantly to a small fanger. Hee. Ahh how can that ever happen in real life?? Suave dashing guy with both brains and money falling for someone he assumed to be a boi at first. N if you had seen screenshots of yoon eunhye in the show you will understand why i envy her to death. Lol. I simply love how gongyoo loved her so much and wasnt shy to show it. Plus all the bickering that just made them closer..
Oops i forgot about the male bonding moments too.. *grins* Honestly speaking i am a sucker for male bonding. Especially when i hear them calling hyung. I melt in less than a second. ROFL.
*Wake up ger!* Haha.
Pictures to ease my withdrawal symptoms..
The sprawling lego collection of gongyoo.. Note he still thinks eunchan is a boi. Lol.
eunchan trying to comfort him..
Ehh i think i spent too much time at the coffee prince recaps over at dramabeans that they are protesting now. Cos they refuse to load properly! ARgh. Never mind shall continue posting pics another day then. I have something i definitely need to blog about..
Its enough to know that i will miss COFFEE PRINCE badly..ㅠㅠ
One of my favourite lines in the drama..
한결: 너 여자라서 좋겠다~
나도 좋은 남자 만나고 싶다! 아니.. 좋은 남자만 아니라 유치하고 멍청한 나를 사랑해야 하는 남자를 꼭 제 앞에 빨리 나타나..
또 그림의 떡야?

Stumbled upon this while i was looking for a wallpaper for the computer at my mum's clinic. Heh budding stuntsdog in action..
ps/ Look at his flying ears!

I feel like a walking zombie.
Trying desperately to suppress the impatience and anxiety that builds up in me as some kids try to challenge every ounce of tolerance remaining in me.
Eunjun (yes he's back but not for long though) just revealed that next week there might even more kids coming for the morning program. The thought just never fails to excite me. Argh.
RT is definitely gonna choke on the gigantic piece of cake that they tried to bite off. Someone should knock some sense into them that the obvious lack of manpower perhaps hints that they should just put a stop to the increasing enrolment figures. I am sick of working for the whole day and i am pretty sure i aint the only one. My patience gets worn down with every passing minute and i loathe it when i feel the urge to show it in front of the students. But when weariness overcomes you and the kids are not cooperating, its extremely taxing to force myself to keep my patience in check.
Self-control does have its own limits, if you havent noticed.
And its not the first time i brought up the issue that i just want to work once a week for the morning program but yet everytime something crops up like some teacher cant make it blah, too many students to handle blah so yeah i become the sacrificial lamb.
The money is not enticing to me now..
When my sanity threatens to break down anytime.
But a piece of good news though. Finally told them about my impending trip to korea and at first mrs. kang was quite taken aback and her first words were: "(cos of) Dongbangshinki?" Lol. Of cos i shook my head violently in objection but i think it is evident they are one of the key factors that fueled the decision to go this year. Ha. Anyway they were quite supportive after hearing that i intend to go to yonsei and kept telling me stuff here and there. Mrs. kang even insisted that i promise to go back to RT upon returning but hmm..
Its not really my cuppa tea?
I will see how it goes then.
Cos i am actually more keen on working in Samsung. Just met a lady who is my mum's patient cum friend at the clinic last week and she used to be the regional HR director of samsung! Ok that is waaay up there can. She mentioned that they once sent a singaporean guy to one of the universitites in korea to study korean for 2 years. *envious* Hopefully she will be able to lend me a helping hand when i come back..Hee.
Survival in the society needs a whole bunch of strings to be pulled sometimes. Lol.
And i finally bought my luggage at Beauty World~ Its red. And so is the backpack i bought in perth. And so are my handphone, earphones, electronic dictionary case etc and i aint planning to stop there.. Haha.
Pearl red remember? ^^
Oh as for eunjun he's going back to korea on Aug 4th til late september. Promised to be my tour guide in exchange for food so he better not go back on his end of the bargain. XD
지금 다 빨리 끝나면 좋겠다.
이렇게 도망가기 내가 원하지 않아도 이미 늦었으니까 돌아보지 못 해.
꿈에 향하기만 갖고 있는 생각 충분할까?

Watching too much fusion sageuks recently made me feel reassured that luckily i wasnt born in that era. Cases of injustice rampant among the ordinary townfolk, with their efforts coming to naught as they try all means to seek a way for the wrongs done against them to be righted, only to be cast the cold shoulder and even harshly beaten up in the end.
A thrashing isnt what i consider a grievance addressed in the best way.
I give [일지매/Iljimae] the thumbs up. Initially of course i was full of anticipation for the drama because lee junki was the lead and he's one guy who fits perfectly in historical dramas. Yet i like how the story plot goes along, with bits of subplots thrown in that dramatically spices up the whole thing. In particular, its kinda amusing/appealing how lee junki phases between a happy-go-lucky chap forced to smile and act goofy infront of everyone else and a determined man bent on seeking vengeance on the people who once destroyed his family. And i have no inkling why alot of parts kept forcing my eyes to well up when i thought it was supposed to be a comedy kind of sageuk.
Just started on the first episode of [최강칠우/Strongest Chil-woo] as well and i cant help but raise comparisons between lee junki and eric. Lets just say eric's voice is really unsuited to these kind of drama. -____- But hopefully eric's natural charisma will just be sufficient to cover his flaw~
Anyway the sisters of both characters died in the show which i found quite uncalled for, especially since they barely appeared for more than 2 or 3 episodes. Duh.
The third drama currently on my watchlist is [아이엠샘/I am Sam] which obviously is NOT a historical drama. But yeah i only watched it cos of T.O.P who looks really good here. Ha. I have a premonition that the ending will stray away from my preferred one but oh well, overall i thought it was not a bad flick about school life and such. Throw in some eye-candy and *TADAH*~~ the show instantly transforms into a watchable one. Magic. Doesnt work for all though. Lol.
Anyway T.O.P has just taken over seungri's place in my bigbang ranking. Realised taeyang and daesung are really quite erm petite. What should one do if he had the perfect body but not the height to go with it? Shrugs. As usual, the ultimate smoky look that engulfs all my fangirling tendencies immediately.
T.O.P in the W magazine photoshoot with um jung hwa.
Who said that eyeliners belong solely to the gers?!

Had actually some other blogskin that i had chanced upon last time in mind but i just couldnt find it at blogskins despite scouring through 2000+ skins. Argh. So this will be a temporary transition til i find a better alternative. Maybe i would move this to naver or cyworld next time though cos they have really pretty skins over there!
Anyway i managed to survive through boredom at work and it was a pleasant surprise to get a treat from mr. choi at his friend's korean restaurant on wednesday. An amused look came over his face when i was asking enthusiatically for 떡볶이 and 해물파전 even before i flipped open the menu. Heh and he promised to hold a samgyopsal party next time, complete with 떡볶이 and 순대 at his condo. ^^
Ok today is supposed to be my offday but dozen of things on the agenda as usual so..
그 친구한테 이제 할 말 없을 거 같아.
또한 요새 갓고 있는 무식한 생각..
그림의 떡밖에 아무것도 아니라서 기분이 나빠서 죽겠다.
점점 이해하기 시작했는데 이 웃긴 현실 마음속에 받을 수 없네..
설마 하늘의 별 정말 따기 못해?
난 이걸 믿기 싫다.

Aint in the best of moods (again) but still nothing is going to be a dampener today since its teukkie's birthday!!
Seeing his pics just magically brought back a smile on my face again.
I admit im a nonchalent person and the number of things or people that hold any true significance to me barely make up the fingers on one hand. But thats the way i am and if you want to deem me as being a selfish brat who only cares about herself, probably i should nod and second you on that.
That being said, i do have things or people that i treasure and sometimes when you face the harsh reality of this world, being nonchalent about stuff happening around you may just hold the key to happiness. As they say, ignorance is bliss. I certainly do not expect the whole world to be in consensus with me and i have seen my cant-be-bothered attitude met with more than one disapproving glance but still, i see no reason why i need to seek absolute approval on the way i live.
Yet there are times i will compromise but please do not assume that just because im generally easy-going on stuff means i lack a tolerance limit.
Oh well, i did say that pics do wonders to my mood.
No matter what the people around me may say, i aint 'growing up' and giving up on the only things that make me happy in this world.
Sian. Extra bored with work this week cos eunjun is away in thailand.
