Crazy enough to forego sleep to stay up late to watch my korean drama - Only you.

Nevertheless, the plot is enticing enough to keep me awake.

Not too many bad guys Not too many scheming plots. Very typical story plot but yet still charmed me to watch it.

It's the idealistic nature of the show that interest me because deep down inside my heart i knew that it couldn't really happen in real life.

Everyone likes fairy tales. And i am not an exception.

Rich guy and poor ger get hitched. Rich guy family objects. Through various obstacles both of them finally gets together.

Sometimes i do wonder, in real life, is it possible? Unless one really has the courage to give up what his family status for true love just like the guy.

One can argue that the rich guy has exerience being rich that's why he could afford to give up his status to be with the ger.

What happens if the plot states that it is a poor guy. then it would be just like a normal average daily life event, where couple falls in love, get married, have children... In other words mei xi chang le.

that's why why we people like fairy tales, cos it's unique and unrealistic thus one look forwards to it.

Escapism is not a bad thing for me at this moment as i have escaped from reality for 6 hours.

Feeling uncomfortable at the paths i am taking now. Cos my life of 2 and a half yr is gonna end. And i will be stepping into uni.

University - something to look forward to but there's this uncertainty that makes me falter. Afraid of the unknown i called it. or rather than afraid of meeting obstacles and accepting new challenges.

Complacency or too optimistic? Dread the thought of planning my future. Trying to daydream on why am i not born with a silver spoon in my mouth. then i could really heck care everything and pursue things i wanna pursue. Without cash, dreams are harder to fufil or rather with cash dreams are easier to fufil.

I Want to go scuba diving, I want to be someone important. I want to have lots of money. I want to get married and stuff without worrying. I want to be free from all troubles etc etc.

Rather i dun wanna grow up. or just dun grow up too quickly...

K-addict nowadays. With the upspringing of new korean dramas. I think i am a bit late to catch the k drama bug. Anyway, i learned to be selective at k dramas when browsing at ts,pohkim, Mj etc. I could spend like hrs in a shop selling vcds to read sypnosis. That's the way to kill time and prevent wasting money.

Current shows i watched :
1.shao nu cheng gong kai lang ji.
2.full house
3.my sassy girl, chyun xiang.
4.only you ( soon )

Wanna watch super rookie too~ But seems that i have no money le.

Levi's jean been mentioned from my group of frens, my usual gang and my campmates.
considering whether to buy one pair or not. Seems like i need to surf for more information on the cuttings and stuff of levi's before buying any.

Just planned my leave. From feb 1st onwards i can no need to go to camp...

Watching vcds nowadays. I robot, Lord of dog town, install and zaitoichi.

Just learned that jay adams was the spark that ignite the skateboard revolution. Stacy was the one who opened a skateboarding school and nurtured tony hawk.
Tony alva was the world 1st skateboarding champion. Bet ya din know that.

It seems that watching movies are quite informative though. Like the recent anime we borrowed ghost in the shell. The term appeared in I-robot. where the revolution of robots a.k.a AI happened. Seems like it's time to borrow more vcds. Haha

231205. 11 guys came together to celebrate xmas.

thankx for all those who turned up and a pity for those who couldn't make it.

Thankx chunho, sengwei, kelvin, weepoh, weiping, tze wee, zhijian, qida, marc and jianwei for coming!

din knew that the coasta sands resort at ntuc was darn big. next time shall hold more parties there or gatherings there.

Wanna try the wild wild wet there too. But tze wee was not very keen, he seems to have a phobia with rollercoasta type landslides. Haha

Anyway, we had a fun time together. Very fun. Exchanging presents, mahjong, bridge and drinking throughout the night.

Bailey was the nicest drink for that day. Chivas the aftertaste was a bit too strong for me, while vodka was bitter due to my lousy mixing.

Lol. anyway, chunho couldn't take it and puke along the way to cheers. =P As for the highest consumption of the day goes to tze wee and qida.

Tze wee managed to prevent himself from being drunk but at one time he was darn red all over like a lobster. keke.

As for me, i drink at considerable amount. At a time or another plus water to detox myself. Lol. I think i have a very good discipline.

Anyway it was nice to see them again. The aftermath of drinking ended up in people anyhow taking pictures plus taupoking each other. Nevertheless it was a god bless that noone puke in the chalet. Haha

Xmas gift exchange ended up in some people like tze wee swearing becos he got a device to pump up his dick from house of condom. He was complaining that he can't use it now. Lol

as for me i got a book from sengwei memoirs of a geisha. Shall read it though. Currently read raymond e feist exile's return. Now scouting for magician. Think it's a very good book.

Sengwei's flying off to tokyo tonight. Bon voyage to him. Xmas gethering with my cmapmates i think is off le. Cos blaise have to go to church, guixiong is with his family, chungang with his jc classmates, gary went to jb, andy with his gerfren and liangwei was the only one keen. Haha maybe we try bnetting tonight.

Narnia today. hope to get seats at toapayoh. cos everywhere is fully booked.

shall post more pics of our chalet last night.

ps - btw kc was our target for getting drunk 1st. but he seems to be alright after taking lots of shots. 1st to down was ronnie then qida. Lol

December is coming and now it's the mood for a romantic christmas.

Just watched full house - lang man man wu starring song hui qiao and rain.

my 2nd korean dram. 1st was da chang jin.

Nevertheless cant resist the urge to blog such a film that can caused me lots of pek chekness but nice story. =P

1st it's a plot that revolved around rain and song hui qiao. Well with such a handsome guy and a hot babe. that's the 1st reason you should see it.

2nd. the story can be related to an ideal situation where one could not attain. that's what i feel cos in reality it couldn;t happen as after endless quarrels and such the 2 main character never once changed their love for each other even though there was 2 other parties seducing them away.

plot summary - about a guy who is a popstar, met this ordinary ger someday. Popstar likes his childhood fren, the childhood fren likes another guy. and well childhood fren rejected by the other guy and ended up the popstar marrying the ordinary ger but with a contract marriage.

very typical plot with the guy slowly ended up loving the ordinary ger and well the ordinary ger who hated the popstar so much ended uo loving him.

so it's like rain the popstar started ill treating the ger as his personal maid then till the end it ended up the other way.

Along the way came a guy who likes the ordinary ger and this sparks off a series of jealousy and stuff. Very funny.

However it's quite a heartache to rather find that the popstar is a timid guy at love with like very thin skin cos at many times wanted to proclaim his love for the ger but ended up in a argument...

Nevertheless i fell in love with the story and the cast especially the female lead cos i find her very attractive, absolutely beautiful with her rebonded hair.

and most important she's the ideal kind of wife that any man wants cos she's the one that stays faithful to u to the end cos she likes you for what u are for....

Here's the theme song for this show. enjoy.

http://www.todayonline.com/articles/89860.asp Here's the link on this article in Today...

THE cost of living in a Nanyang Technological University (NTU) hostel just got higher.
.
When students move into the new Hall Three next month, they will pay $350 for single rooms and $240 for double rooms. These rates will also apply to the new Hall Sixteen, which will take in residents from July next year.
.
Currently, residents pay between $175 and $190 for single rooms at the university's other 14 halls of residence, while rates for double rooms range between $155 and $160.
.
The fees for the single rooms in these other halls, too, will be revised, with the hikes ranging between $25 and $70 a month.
.
An NTU spokesperson was at pains to stress that there would be no increase in the rates for double rooms, which form the bulk of hostel accommodation.

what does this means? does it meant that there will not be an increase in rates for double rooms?

.....

The spokesperson said the university conducted a market survey and found that its current rental rates were "much lower" than that of other local universities.

Point to note : other local universities - do smu has hostels? by the way where are the statistics on the market survey they conducted to back out this claim... so it means that they are comparing it between ntu n and nus only... while the last paragraph states that

'Over at the National University of Singapore, undergraduates have to pay $60 per week for single rooms and $40 per week for double rooms'

isn't $160 per month for twin sharing? which is almost the same price of that of ntu...

Mr Ong Yong Hong, 23, a final-year Business student, who was president of Hall Ten last year, said: "We need to be convinced that the higher fees will mean better facilities. We shouldn't be paying more money for the benefit of future residents."

hope that increment in hostel fees = better facilities when i enrolled in 06?

Current background music - lao si by willian su. ( i kinda like this song cos it sounds so meaningful about persisting on upon meeting setbacks that's how i feel about this song. Dun ask me why cos it just gives me this feeling. I maybe wrong in interpreting the lyrics. but i can't help but felt that there is a tinge of hopelessness and sadness in this song. It's the feeling but eventually there's a gu jin gan lai feeling at the end of the song... )

Lyrics in chinese

你对我说你我都总会有错 似你造句我已听得很多
陌生者的关心 却彷彿一种切磋

你说这世界美好不要错过 你却说你错过了的很多
明天虽不清楚 仍愿意苦心勸我

*未算识你 但已想抱抱你
 像老死 只需想到了你
 打不死 轻伤的我哪敢死
 让我跟你 学会不要放弃
 未算乖 都知这个世界
 不算坏 否則怎会碰到你 *

我与你某次也许街里见过 各有过去 你我也不清楚
陌生的世界里 共同的东西太多

我信你爱过更加哭过笑过 错过跌过也算个好傢伙
谁舍得不信你 良善似兄弟对我

Repeat * *

Well weepoh's fren passed away suddenly. A road traffic accident i heard.

When i heard the news. I was neither surprised nor shocked and just gladly accept that the news.

Hmm wonder's whether my views on death itself differs from others.

okay. some may say that cos he's aint my fren that's why i dun feel so sad.

rather sad to say that even if my best frens (choi) were to suddenly be dismissed from this world. I wouldn't shed a single drop of tears.

it's just not me. Cos no matter how tough the times are going or even how sad am i. I just couldn't cry...

is this what u call jian qiang? erm i duno... i just felt that it's the reluctance to accept the fact that life goes on caused me to be devoid of tears.

Seriously i would be rather in pity mode plus a little bit of sorrow that if my best frens passed away. pitied that why god would let him die early, sad that i have lost someone dear. but the point is i always will embrace myself in a short while n continue with life.

there are 2 incidents that allow me to withness the afterath of death itself.

one was my pri schoolfren. She died when she was 17. That was during j1.
another was y grandma dismiss. She died when i was 15. that was during sec 3.

Sad to say. Watching my cousins crying and the noticing the difference betwee me and them is that my emotions was kinda neutral..

Not say i was not sad but it seems that i would rather keep it in my heart that to show it in public. wierd is it ? i duno.

i think maturity has reached within oneself i supposed. or rather adopting a hek care attitude towards death related issue itself would allow a faster time for the wound once scarred to grow...

Perhaps... i belong to the category of people that would hide in the blanket n cry occasionally after the funeral bah....

call me wierd... erm no. complicated...
