Its driving me crazy again.
I have never wanted anything so badly in my life..
일요일, 7월 26, 2009
Was originally gonna skip the thought of blogging today, given that i had been sleeping half the day away earlier and i should be studying my korean. But at the critical moment, i actually laid my eyes on these pics and i just went woooah~
Jung Il-Woo is really a good looker. He is so annoyingly gorgeous. Ha. His role as Yunho in [Unstoppable highkick] was the main motivation that stirred the desire of being a teacher in me. XD.
Being deprived of sleep is killing me recently. Add to the fact that i'm getting increasingly bored with my job. Not that i am gonna encounter any kid half as cute as Jung ilwoo anyway. Ahhhh~
Oh had a farewell dinner for gahee at sakura buffet yesterday with 6 other teachers and seoyoung언니. She's going back to korea on the 4th august and again, the feeling sux; it's as if i'm mentally ticking off friends on my list as i say goodbye to them one by one. Even seoyoung언니 will be leaving in october! ㅠㅠ But yesterday was pretty funny cos after dinner we didn't want to leave so early so everyone cramped into one of the teachers' minivan and headed for Esplanade. 6 of us had to squeeze in the back and to kill time, we were playing 공-공-칠-빵 (007-bang) in the dark. Given that i usually have the record of scoring rather high on an anti-social scale, i kinda enjoyed the gathering this time. The best thing of the night: The dinner was kindly sponsered by the principal~ Haha. It was supposed to be 28++ per pax which i was grumbling incessantly about (of cos to myself) so phew..
^^
But the food kinda fell below my expectations..
Been thinking about something recently. Ok i think about ALOT of things actually. Dunno if i should be placing any hopes cos i hate being hopeful only to have my hopes being dashed in the end. I rather not have any, to start off with in the first place.
As for the previous entry, the email was kinda sad cos i couldnt help thinking about what people always say to console themselves: at least both of you are being under the same sky when obviously you are so far away from that someone. Its just lame crap. Yeah sure i may be staring at the same Big Dipper as you but that doesn't help in anything.
친구가 이렇게 물어봤는데..
'니가 왜 그 때 그 사람한테 안 고백했어? 아깝잖아..기다릴 수도 있었을 텐데~'
나 이렇게 대답했는데..'
겁이 나서 그래.. 그 사람이 너무 완벽하니까..'
보고 싶다.

It was supposed to be a happy mail that started with
'weebee 여전히 귀엽네~ㅋㅋ'..
continued with
'위비도 나랑 같이 열심히 찾아보면 좋은결과 있을꺼야~..'
But it turned out to be a sad mail that ended with
'오랜만에 weebee한테 한국말 알려주니까 갑자기 보고싶다ㅋㅋ
답장쓸때 사진보내~ㅋ'...
Damn.
That just made the tears come.

I can't wait for [Wild Bunnies]~! Ha ok the name is kinda lame but still, it will probably be the last we will see of the 7 dorks before their next single/album comes out. So it better be good. Nah, it will be. ^^Just had a 'hen party' with both piggies over the weekend and though it wasnt the most happening event of the year, it was still funny and we had the time of our lives splashing in the pool about 1.5 hours before midnight. Well at least i was swimming! I am pretty sure one of the piggies was 'splashing' her way around. Lol. But i actually quite like the feeling of swimming at night when its all dark and quiet. Wish i had a pool in my house..
Anyway all the pics are with the 2 of them so i cant put up any.. I'm eagerly anticipating my Asahi beer can series. XDD.
I'm still in the midst of watching [Story of a Man/Slingshot] and [Triple] but i'm getting slowed down cos i'm trying to watch [The Four] and [E.U] at the same time! ARgh. I used to think that i was gonna finish all of Steven Ma's series but now i decided i should finish Ron's instead. Haha. N i cant get used to the fact that he's shorter than Sammul. There must be some parallax error somewhere..
So many shows, so little time.
And i still have [The Man who can't Get Married] and these 2 new dramas coming up that i'm interested in. @.@

이왕이면 이번에 잘 해야겠다.
인생이 뭐 있니..
어리석은 생각만 들면 힘들겠지
어덯게 계속 갈 수 있는 방법이 있다면 나도 알려줘~
Two emails from the first korean friends i ever made in singapore and korea respectively, and whom will always hold a special place in my heart. ^^
Kiwon오빠:
이번 달 말에 남이섬 다녀올려고~ㅋㅋ
싱가폴 있을 때부터 가고 싶었던 곳이라~ 기대가 되네~ㅎ
열심히 해서 담에 한국 놀러와~~
아직 젊으니까 하고 싶은 일이 있으면 직업을 옮기는 것도 괜찮지~
인제 경제가 조금씩 풀리기 시작하니까 직업 구하는 것도 그리 어렵진 않을 것 같다.
화이팅하시고!! ^^
Hwimoon:
weebee ?在???？
?在???？
?什?工作？
에이.. 어렵다..ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
위비 지금 어디야?? 한국이야??
일하고있다니.. 선생님하고있나?
예전에 한국오기전에 학생들 가르켰다고했잖아~ㅎㅎ
그리고 공부랑 일하는거중에 뭐가더 좋냐구.....??
weebee가 요즘 고민이 많은가봐~
좋기야.. 일하는게 좋지만 쉬운건 공부가 더쉬운거 같아.
공부는 열심히하면 실력이 노력한만큼 좋아지잖아~
하지만 일하는건 노력해만큼 결과가 좋지않을때도 많지~
어떤일이지 따라서 다르지만..
자신이 하고 싶은 일을하면 참 행복하겠지?
자신이 하고 싶은 일을 찾고 그 일을 하려고 모두들
열심히 공부하는거구~ ^^
공부를하던지 일을 하던지 뭐든 열심히 하면
행복하고 좋은 일 있을꺼야~
아` 그리고 스케이트~
어떤 스케이트 말하는지 모르겠는데`
나 타는건 다 잘타ㅋㅋ
스키, 스케이트, 이것 저것`ㅋㅋ
자주 연락해`ㅎ
I may be highly biased towards koreans, but still it isn't a piece of cake trying to find friends who are on the same frequency as you, who laugh at the things you laugh at and more importantly, whose presence makes you comfortable. I wouldn't say that it rings true among all the koreans i know so it just makes me treasure those that do, more.
Previously, i don't usually have the habit of translating but i thought i might this time. Anyway english translation can't capture the meanings exactly so i did it in chinese instead.
Kiwon오빠:
이번 달 말에 남이섬 다녀올려고~ㅋㅋ
这个月底我想去Nami岛~ 呵呵
싱가폴 있을 때부터 가고 싶었던 곳이라~ 기대가 되네~ㅎ
因为 (Nami岛) 是个从我在新加坡的时候就想去的地方~ 好期待~ 哈
열심히 해서 담에 한국 놀러와~~
努力做好 然后下次再来韩国玩~~
아직 젊으니까 하고 싶은 일이 있으면 직업을 옮기는 것도 괜찮지~
现在还年轻 如果有想做的事 像换工作都可以~
인제 경제가 조금씩 풀리기 시작하니까 직업 구하는 것도 그리 어렵진 않을 것 같다.
经济已开始慢慢舒缓 想找工作 应该不会太难。
화이팅하시고!! ^^
Fighting!!^^
Hwimoon:
weebee ?在???？
?在???？
?什?工作？
(I think he was trying to type in chinese but failed. Lol. Cute.)
에이.. 어렵다..ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
Eh..太难了。。呵呵呵呵呵
위비 지금 어디야?? 한국이야??
Weebee 现在在哪里？韩国吗？？
일하고있다니.. 선생님하고있나?
在工作。。是做老师吗？
예전에 한국오기전에 학생들 가르켰다고했잖아~ㅎㅎ
不是说过来韩国之前有教过孩子~ 哈哈
그리고 공부랑 일하는거중에 뭐가더 좋냐구.....??
还有(你) 问读书和工作之间 哪个比较好。。？？
weebee가 요즘 고민이 많은가봐~
weebee 最近好像很多烦恼~
좋기야.. 일하는게 좋지만 쉬운건 공부가 더쉬운거 같아.
说好的话。。工作虽然好，可是说容易的话 读书似乎比较容易。
공부는 열심히하면 실력이 노력한만큼 좋아지잖아~
只要用功读书，实力不就会依照付出的努力而增强吗～
하지만 일하는건 노력해만큼 결과가 좋지않을때도 많지~
可是就算再努力工作，也有很多时候不会得到好的结果~
어떤일이지 따라서 다르지만..
虽然不同的工作可能不一样。。
자신이 하고 싶은 일을하면 참 행복하겠지?
如果可以做自己想做的事 很幸福对吧？
자신이 하고 싶은 일을 찾고 그 일을 하려고 모두들
而为了做自己想要做的事大家都
열심히 공부하는거구~ ^^
在用心读书～^^
공부를하던지 일을 하던지 뭐든 열심히 하면
(所以) 不管读书也好 工作也好 只要用心去做
행복하고 좋은 일 있을꺼야~
就会有快乐和好的事(发生)～
아` 그리고 스케이트~
啊 还有 skate~
어떤 스케이트 말하는지 모르겠는데`
我不清楚你说的是哪一种skate
나 타는건 다 잘타ㅋㅋ
能搭/骑的 我都行 呵呵
(Clarification: In korean, skate can be used for both iceskating as well as rollerblading.)
스키, 스케이트, 이것 저것`ㅋㅋ
滑雪，溜冰，这个那个~ 呵呵
자주 연락해`ㅎ
常常 联络~ 哈
I shouldn't have asked the question about skating. Argh. I once mentioned to my friends that the biggest regret i have in korea was that i didn't have the chance to go iceskating with the One. I remember angel even asked me to fulfill that wish in shenyang. -___-'''
And [Triple] has been refueling the desire in me to learn iceskating properly. If min hyo rin could execute all those moves after nearly a year of training, so could I! Haha. Not that i need to perform a triple axle but at least i should be able to glide and STOP at whim. Lee seon kyun really really has the perfect voice. His wife is damn lucky. xD.

For the second time in my life, i got disgusted watching something.
The first was actually this movie called 'The Brave One' in which jodie foster's fiancee was brutally beaten to death, while she survived the attack and came back for revenge.
The second was 'On the First Beat'.
Honestly, its one of the TVB series that i really liked. But the ending plainly sux.
I know. I have always been one for bloody, gory, sadistic stuff. But its one thing to kill someone with one single shot, slash, stab whatever and another thing to slowly torture the person before letting him/her die. The amount of psychological damage inflicted is just way too cruel.
At first i was hoping against all odds that sonija wouldn't die but later i realised that it would have been equally cruel to let her live. With all the emotional scars. And i really winced at the thought that she was so calm even while being at the mercy of the crazy guy.
Morale of the story: It might be better to end your life yourself than run the risk of having it ended by some psychopathic homosapien in some inhumane way.
As usual. This just serves to strengthen my argument that humans are sick. Sick in the mind.

Finally listed out all the korean dramas that i have watched so far. Its SO little! Ok excluding some that i didn't finish watching till the end. I guess I probably should finish them one fine day. Lol. My target is to hit 100 first. Hmm..
Don't have much to say today.
Maybe just that i think chungrim, AJ and taegoon should really consider forming a group? Heh. They are real fine by themselves, but being together might just help to garner more popularity votes..
Actually i was gonna succumb to my whining fits again but i guess i shouldn't, given that i had already grumbled enough previously. Oh well. Spazzing is probably better for my health. o.O
[Harper's Island] is finally coming to an end tonight! Which is rather sad, considering that its the only angmo series that i had ever been following faithfully on national tv every week. The twist last week was pretty good though i felt that they could have revealed henry in tonight's episode. Tsk tsk. N i was kinda hoping Trish would make it alive since she was the prettiest one..ha. Madison is real cool though. For a kid. She and I would probably get along well.
We could be discussing about psychopath killers as if it was the most natural thing on earth. Lol.

First of all, i am not writing this to bash; neither do i have the intent to slander any religion. I have always respected freedom of religion and i do not wish to do otherwise. However, i just wanted to get this off my chest once and for all, because well, i can't help say but it's seriously getting on my nerves.
I have simply no idea why the principal keeps including me in the so-called 'praying time' whenever the pastor comes.
Once or twice is fine. But every single time?
And she even openly discussed it with another teacher (who's of the same religion alright) that she is 'praying' that i would be converted someday too. -_____-'''
I doubt so.
I might have believed in it once. But that faith is already gone and i am sorry to disappoint, but it won't be resurrected anytime, anymore. I may not understand the need for spiritual support, but since i do not condemn anyone from devoting their time to their religious needs, i do not see why that time includes the futile effort in trying to convince others to convert. If I may be allowed to say this, i cannot bring myself to depend on something i can't see.
To explain more accurately why the faith was lost,
I only have to look at
myself.
So I truly wish that the principal can just leave me alone. Isn't it obvious after the numerous forced sessions that i have no intention of being converted? I feel like a fool, pretending to join my hands in prayer and mouthing words with the least bit of sincerity. I didn't even include the part i was fighting to stay awake.
Let's just say i find it absolutely ridiculous why they think that only people like them go on to achieve victory, whereas people who are different simply do not. I'm not kidding, this was really mentioned today. Should we then assume that all the famous people in the world are like them?
As again, i wish to emphasize that i'm not bashing religion in any way. By the same token that everyone is entitled to choose their own beliefs, i believe that i'm entitled NOT to choose any as well. If i sound offensive, i apologise.
It's a pretty trying period for me. There are countless things that are nagging away constantly at certain parts of my brain and i am not sure if i should address them. I know, i am wavering. Occasionally, just occasionally, i would dream of having a path already laid out for me, that is just waving furiously at me, trying to get me to tread on it. And I wouldn't even have to lay a single finger. Of course, despite the stability, it might be a boring old life. But then again, the monotonous one i have now ain't that fantastic to speak of anyway. Either way, i would hate it i guess.
처음에 태어나게 하지 않으면 좋았을텐데..
그래서 안 믿어야.
미안. 이미 늦었으니까.

To prove my unwavering loyalty to the drama..
The lyrics to the beautifully haunting theme song, 허락 (許諾).
아무 말도 못 해도 아무렇지 않아요
그댈 볼 수만 있다면
가질 수가 없어도 만질 수가 없어도
시린 가슴 한번 쓸어내리고 참아내죠
어디에 있는지 잘 있는지
그대 하루가 걱정이죠
달빛 머금은 애타는 밤에는
그 생각에 잠 못 들죠
또 다시 태어나는 그 날엔
하늘이 허락하길 바래요
우리의 이뤄질 수 없었던 사랑을
그대 곁에 없어도 그대 뒤에 있어요
외로운 그림자 되어
돌아보고 싶어도 돌아봐선 안돼요
한뼘 행복마저 줄 수 없는 날 피하세요
한 걸음 두 걸음 나보다
더 조금 서둘러 걸어가요
나의 두 손이 또 나의 두 발이
그대 길을 막지 않게
또 다시 태어나는 그 날엔
하늘이 허락하길 바래요
우리의 이뤄질 수 없었던 사랑을
하늘아 내 사랑을 가려줘
바람아 내 아픔을 날려줘
그대가 내 눈물을 모르게 부탁해
I especially love the chorus..
또 다시 태어나는 그 날엔
하늘이 허락하길 바래요
우리의 이뤄질 수 없었던 사랑을
On the day when we are born again..
I hope the heavens will approve
of the love we couldnt realise.
It totally depicts the love shared between Damdeok and Sujini. Awww..
for Damdeok.
I am even contemplating reading through all 411 pages at the soompi thread. Argh. I just roughly skimmed through a few pages and there's so much fangerling over there i'm already pretty amused. Ok, make that excited. Ha. Its practically a diary written by members of BYJ family who apparently visited the filming site for [Legend] and even got to interact with him personally! Lucky peepz.
There was mention of a sequel and i'm keeping my fingers crossed that its not just hearsay. Anyway the series concluded with an 'open ending' so i see no reason why it cant be continued. And it kinda kicked off my interest in korean history again. From Goguryo, shilla and baekje.. down to the khitan tribes~ Maybe i should finish all sageuk related stuff.. ^^;
