Supposed to be doing the video now but I am just taking a short break. Very tired now and down with flu ever since I came back from Korea. Haiz~ Cant go sleep yet got to wait for Hwee Min to send me some chucrh camp banner stuff. Damn busy nowadays.

Anyway, back to topic. Finally reach airport in Seoul at round erm 5-6am plus. Whoa... Once I stepped out of the plane, I can pratically feel the coldness of the winter air of Seoul. Put on my jacket in no time and finally took the 1st step out of the airport doors to test how cold it is and it is freaking cold. When I talked, I can see the mist. Haha Though its cold, its the first time I get to blow mist out of my mouth. Damn fun. Took some photos before rushing back into the aorport for warmer air. Suzanna jie jie's digital camera apparently cant stand the sudden coldness. It refused to on itslef despite having enough battery power. Only managed to get it to work for a while. Just 5 mins out there and my hands are really icy cold, much colder than how it is during 2 periods of econ lecture in LT3.

Finally the 1st meal of the day at this place, UDONG NOODLES. Yummy, it was super delicious but I think tat is because I was very hungry then liao. But really it wasn't tat bad, better than how it tasted when I first ate it in Singapore. I tested Kimchi for the first time too. It is kinda sour and spicy... really not tat bad but nah, I'm not used to eating it. The problem with eating UDONG noodles lies with the spoon and chopsticks. Actually it was the chopsticks tat were the main problem. Apparently, Koreans like to use metal spoon and chopsticks because it is easier to get rid of germs. The metal chopsticks were super flat and thin. I had a tough time controlling them just like I did when I first used it at Jing Ting's house during dinner. But there is one good thing about the chopsticks, the design on it was super unique.

After a rather heavy breakfast, we set off Daejanggeum - " A jewel in the palace " filming site. The journey took about 1hr 48mins, very long!!! Haha Am so glad that I brought my hp along with me to Korea though I know that I cant use hp in Korea even if I have auto roam. That is because Korea has their own network and if I wanna sms or call, I either rent a korean hp or buy international calling card. I choose the 2nd option. I was tuning in to various Korean radio stations. Korean music really not bad as in the melody and all tat. The sad thing is that I dun understand their language. Oh That reminds me I phone home early in the morning that day at the airport and I finally know how to use a public phone to call home. First of all have to press the emergency on the telephone then key in 180-550-1233 then key in 2 for English then the card no which I wont type here and then key in 65 (country code) followed by telephone no and the # key. If you realise, I didnt even have to insert the telephone card at all. Haha

I finally saw the sun for the first time in Korea and it was beautiful!!! Oh did I mention that when the wind blows, it becomes super cold, regret not bringing any thermal pants. After tat, the coach was on a bridge that is bringing across the yellow river if I didn't rmb the name wrongly!!!. The river is frozen and ocassionally, u can see water. I can feel the coldness of the air thru the window panes as I write down all that is happening on my little note book that I bring to Korea. Looking at the scenery, I really cant say that Korea is clean, keep seeing lots of litter and dead leaves all around. Really Singapore is a whole lot cleaner. But I guess the fault partly lies on the fact that it is winter season now. Anyway in Korea, they have overhead cables and it is really messy.

After the bridge, the coach passed by a stretch of schools. Their primary school playground is really cute but couldn't capture it down on camera. Wasn't fast enough. The schools are really big but their fences are so so low that if this were to be SAJC fence, a lot of J1s and J2s will be ponning school like crazy. U can just jump over the fence or climb. Its not much of a obstacle seriously speaking. If I were to stand beside the fence, think it will most probably reach chest area. Its tat low. Oh I saw some people carrying ladders. Korea ladders are really different from that of Singapore. Its curvy not straight. WOW!!! Passed by an overhead nridge that has a spiral staircase leading all the way up... SPIRAL STAIRCASE!!! That is so so unusual.

Oops, Guess I was wrong, the next destination wasn't Daejanggeum but rather it is LUNCH!!! YUMMY!!! The lettuce was so sweet. Natural sweetness. Its really true that though Korea has lesser variety of fruits and vegetables, their food are really sweet because their fruits and vegetables take a longer time to grow and have more nutrients in it. Thhis must be due to the 4 different seasons that Korea experiences. Next we went to Ladies's Fashion streets not Daejanggeum. Lots of clothes at Ladies fashion street but didnt have much time to really look around and tried on the stuff. Wads more the things sold there are actually more expensive than if you were to buy it in Sinagpore. So much for things being cheaper in Korea. Bought the leg warmers thing there... YEAH!!! Now my legs no longer feel that cold as before. Finally, next stop which is about erm... one and the half hour away... DAEJANGGEUM!!!

Finally reach " A jewel in the Palce" filming site. Its really nice there. Just kept taking photos after photos, posing in front of paper figures and all that. The only really nice photo that I captured at tat place was a small stream. There is this bridge, a really short one that connects the main part of the buiding to the toilet. I saw the ste=ream there, it was rather dried cos most of the water has frozen into a really large ice ball found somewhere up the stream. Really like tat photo a lot. That place really not bad but the next destination is much better!!!

I am back in Singapore. Shall start blogging a day to day account of wad happened while I was in Korea. I bet most of my frenswont have time to view all this but I guess it is alright. This is kinda like my online diary. If no one read, I read. Haha... Just writing it down for memory sake. Really miss Korea, the hotel, the scenery and all that.

On 20th march (Day 1), I left Singapore for Korea. But before that I had a mini argument with my dad in the airport at the departure gates. I just cant stand people nagging at me. Come on, I am not a kid. I can take care of my own stuffs and his nagging really irritates me so I snaped back and ignored my dad. After a while, I feel kinda bad for doing that but I really wished that for once they could just let me be independent and take care of myself.

Went up Korean Airways and I was happy that I got a window seat but apparently my happiness didnt last long. That is because I realised after a while that it was the seat just beside the emergency exit so there wasn't much of a window beside my seat. Well there is actually, but half of it. It doesn't make any difference to not having one cos I couldn't see much anyway. Wads more, I had to learn how to open the exit door and had to assist the crew during an emergency. Luckily for me, there wasn't one. Anyway the only good point about that seat was that there was a huge empty space in front of me so I could really stretch out.

I slept during the whole flight and so I missed all the meals that they served on board the airplane. Heard that it was good but you can't blame me for not eating. It is like 1am plus and to eat a meal... NO WAY! I am so tired I wanna sleep. Worst thing is the seat was super super uncomfortable. Oh well, at least they did provide me with a pillow and a blanket.

I was quite scared cos when the plane take off, I looked up the window and saw the airport getting smaller and it was going up quite fast. I kept having that feeling that the plane may fall off the sky. Well, that is a phobia I had since I was a child. But after a while, it was ok. Oh I saw the moon... It was super beautiful. Its just so breadth-taking. Really sad that I didnt manage to take a photo of it. Its just so stunning, the silver moon among the misty clouds... Wad a sight!!!

When the plane flew near Korea, I could see the night lights. It was beautiful. The night scenery from above is really fantastic. Landing was so smooth. I could not feel the motion of it falling from the sky. The plane landed even before I realised that it landed. Haha... I better go sleep now. Having a bit of jet lag now.

Why is looking for a job so tough? Nono, shouldnt phrase it this way... Why is looking for a job that interests me so tough... Haiz~ All I wanted is to enjoy my job while I wait for university to start... I want to earn money so that my parents can stop paying for my expenses even though I have already tried not to spend much or go anywhere. Let me see, I have already eat lesser food or dun eat at all, try to walk everywhere I go and I didnt even buy things. Haiz~ This is damn sad and super frustrating. Wish I had some time of my own to go to Sentosa and just enjoy the peace and quiet there. Haiz

I am almost done with doing the sculpture for the course video thing. All I need now is to do the tree branch and fire thing. Still havn't thought of a name for it. haiz~ These few days all I ever do is this... Oh well... It is almost done.. cant wait for it to be completed. Yet to paint it and add varnish to it. Haiz~ I better think of something fast cos I dun hav much time left... Will be going to Korea soon. Oh I going to the zouk party later in the night held by SADM. Wonder how it goes. Cant blog much not that there is anything interesting in my life now. Haha... Haiz~ Feel like a pig, just ate a cake that my brother brought back from work at Holland Village coffee club express... Its really great but I dun really like the liquor/alcohol taste. Oh well... Its nice. Haiz~ Shall set a rule for myself... NO EATING AFTER 10pm. Haha. Ok time to clear up my mess that i made cos of the paper clay.

Went to NUS open house today. It was BORING!!! Ended up taking the leaflets.Guess I really dun have much interest in any courses offered in NUS. Oh well... Anyway we went to JEC arcade play. HAIZ~ One thing I m,ust say... I hardly go arcade play. I should say in my 17years of living on Earth, I being to the arcade less than 20times. I never like arcade, its nosiy and kinda waste of money. Though it can be fun to watch frens play but I still feel guilty about going arcade cos I am wasting my time there. Could have spend my time doing something more meaningful. Oh well, thats my own opinion of course.

Anyway, Ting they all decided to watch "Boogeyman" at JP but I decided to tell them I dun wanna watch it only at the last min. Cos I can see that they have a hard time deciding on wad movie to watch and if I say I dun wanna watch "Boogeyman"... It just make things more difficult for them. So in the end, I told them just before they were about to buy tickets. Wasn't in a good mood anyway... Was too stressed over that video requirement for the school of arts, design and media. Ended up going to the library but it closed soon after I entered. Then I walked round JP, think I was more of stonning... Somehow or another, I ended up at the carpark area, the air-condition part.

Actually, come to think of it, I must be crazy then. Sat down on the bench and took me quite some time before I actually started thinking about how I wanted to go about doing the video. Haiz~ I wouldn't say I was upset, well not really... just stressed but the fact that I just somehow couldn;t get it out of my system make it worse. However, it was a good thing I managed to think of something for my video and eventually, I cheered upself up. Haha better still, I saw 2 frens. One of them my PEPS fren but I cant rmb her name, the other should be Han Yi from SA. Was chatting happily with them. Haha finally went back to my normal self. Oh well, shall do my video thing now and not blog so much.

Went for camp reunion today and it was ok. Only a few people came but we still had fun watching the movie clip. Last year camp was a really different experience for me cos this time I was the leader. Now I know how Zi Xuan felt when she was camp leader for the church camp 2 years ago (2003).

Anyway, I accompany Suzanna jie jie to Arthur ge ge's fren's wedding. I was all prepared and leav house to meet Suzanna jie jie but she sms to say that the hairdresser is still styling her hair. I thought she had changed and all that. Never did I expect her to be wearing her home clothes. In the end, I walked around Bukit Batok Central with her and I really HATE the feeling of being stared at. People were looking at both of us. Suzanna jie jie cos her hair was styled up so elegantly but in her home clothes while me cos I was wearing that black halter knee length dress which somehow makes me stand out from everyone else who are in casual clothes.

We went to westamll mall for a while. I walked past Felin jewellery and they had this really nice leave like pendant that carries a 0.02ct diamond. Never had I expected Suzanna jie jie to buy it for me on the spot. MY GOSH... I love it, my first diamond necklace. Wow... Suzanna jie jie said that that will be my passing A level with flying colours cum birthday present. THANKS!!! I love it a lot. Further more it only costs $62 which really surprises me. I am really scare that the chain will break... it is so fine. Shall keep in properly when I am not wearing it.

Anyway, the wedding was ok. Only took a few photos. This is one of them. Really sorry the photo isnt a well taken one. After reading up on the book of photography I can tell you why. Firstly, the table, chair and the plates are super distracting. Secondly, the position of suzanna jie jie and me are far too up, quite a lot of the ground is seen. Haha This really goes to show that I understand and still remember what I learned from the book.

I am so excited... Haha Went for the NTU talk on arts, design and media (SADM). After listening to the lecturer talk, all I can say is THAT IS THE COURSE I WANT! Haha OMG... The lecturers of SADM will be from all parts of the world, Germany, America and so on. But wad is really great is that they are professionals in these areas and some of them are working in really famous companies like Disney. Can u believe it... wads more, the school will be inviting renown artists, graphic designers, animators and so on for a few weeks to lecture us. THIS IS SUPERB!!! Haha shall stop talking now, if not I wont be able to stop. Shall go all the way and fulfil the requirements. Now reading up on photography, sure take photos while I am in Korea. As for essay and video, shall work on it these 2 weeks. Haha

I got back my 'A' level results. A for maths, B for chemistry and physics and econs. B3 for GP. Frabkly speaking, I am not that happy with my result, I expected an A for chem but it turned out otherwise but oh well, B isnt so bad. As for econs and physics and GP, UNBELIEVABLE!!! I cant imagine getting a B for econs... got to be kidding and I thought I did badly for econs MCQ and essays. As for physics, well my foundation isnt strong but a B is good. B3 for GP, YEAH YEAH... I was praying hard for at least a C6 for my GP as my GP was always a borderline case but B3 haha I am so happy. The good thing is I am not really that upset cos if that is the result God wants me to get, I will accept it no matter wad and will be happy with it. Hee hee... Some of my frens are upset with their results, some happy with it. Really hope that some of my frens feel better after crying over their results, just hope that they bear this in mind that no matter wad they get, life still goes on and that 'A' level results is definitely not one of the most important things in life.

When to meet Ting and Shan Bin after tat, went to East Coast Prak. On the way there, guess wad we saw, a wishing tree. Oh I really didnt know one existed in Singapore. Haha Now I know where to find one, East Coast Park. We sat at this stone are that is I dunno how to say, but it is where there is a wall of rock, sat there and I started to think about the course I wanna take. I wanna go NUS but yet I cant find a course that I really like there. The only course I'm super super interested in is arts, media and design in NTU but the admission criteria is super tough, at most 10mins of video on why you should be admitted into the BFA and the thing is it has to be on a video disk which means no editing on computer, then a 400words essay and 5 photos of any subjects. The thing is there is an interview too. Oh my gosh... how much tougher can it get. Haiz~

But at least I thought of wad my subject will be for the 5 photos, "Silhouette". Took a photo of it using my camera hp. I really like the photo though the quality isnt clear but in the photo, u can see the sunset, the reflection on the water and a man's silhouette. The man's silhouette somehow makes the whole picture stands out. Maybe I should do that theme. I really really hope that I have the courage to give this course a try though the criteria is killing me. Really dun wanna regret not trying it out. Wish I had that determination to bring me thru. Haiz~ The silhouette really reminds me of the silhouette i see every morning while on my way to school at the jurong east lib bus stop waiting for 97 to come. It always capture my attention how the orange street light makes the short palm tree stand out amidst the jet black surrounding. One lone palm tree with leaves spread out like a fan with an orange glow around it, really looks magical.

Haiz~ Wish I knew wad to say to my frens who are upset. Apparently, I am a person who is not good at comforting others. 'A' level results seems to be so important now especially so when we all need to choose our university courses. Guess 'A' level results can in a way change how our future will turn out. Haiz~

I be collecting my 'A' level result in the afternoon but so far, I dun have tat in my mind. I thinking about my god brother and whether he will rent out his flat to Hung Jin. Hopefully can cos from what I heard from Ting, the place that Hung Jin is living in now is cheating him of his money. I know Suzanna jie jie dun mind the extra cash. Haha Imagine if Hung Jin get to rent it, kinda cool if everytime I go over to new house at Yew Tee to stay ovnight can have a fren to talk to when I am bored. Furthermore if Suzanna jie jie forgot to bring the key, both of us dun have to go all the way back to the house at Bukit Batok to get it. Save us the trouble of going to and fro. Haha

Oh I finished reading "Angels and demons" by Dan Brown. Oh wow, it is one good book. Lots of unexpected twists and turns in the story. Finished it in like 2 days... Just couldn't stop reading it, it was just too thrilling. I feel as if I am part of the story somehow. Dan Brown is really a great writer, the way we link one idea to another, it is just fantastic. Can just see the whole story unfold right in front of my own eyes. Will get my hands on "Da Vinci Code" soon. Have to read it before the 3rd sat of March cos we discussing it during fellowship.

I really wonder how it be like tml. Will I be celebrating or will I be disappointed? Hopefully, celebrating and I hope my other frens are too. Really wanna watch the movie "Hitch". Its comical but oh well, I have to save up as much money I could if I wanna have enough to spend while I am away on holiday in Korea. ARGH!!! OH NO! I JUST RMB THAT MY BROTHER'S BDAY IS COMING SOON IN 3 DAYS. I AM SO SCREWED! Oh my gosh, how could I forget. I am so dead. Erm... maybe I should tell him that I get his present from Korea. In this way, it be a unique one. Maybe I should. Shall plan my budget!

Super tired now. Haha I realised that recently I picked up a habit. The thing is I can only sleep after I listened to some music, be it english or chinese songs. If not, I can never fall asleep. I mean in the end, I sleep but I keep drifting in and out of this sleepy state. I be alert for a while then doze off, alert then doze off. That is super irritating. I really wonder ho I am going to survive while I am in Korea, dun think I can tune in to singapore radio stations while I am there, can I? Or maybe I should listen to the korea radio stations... if I even understand wad they are toking about in the first place. Haha Still rmb the conversation that I had with Ting last night. She told me to get a korean BF while I am there. She got to be kiddnig, 6 days to get a korean BF. In the first place, I dun wanna have a korean BF, I wont even know wad he is talking about. LOL. Wads more, 6 days is too little a time to actually know someone well and start a relationship. LOL. Shall force myself to sleep liao, getting late. Time now is 0228am. Sleep, HERE I COME. Haha :) :p ;) ;p

Quite bored now, just finished watching "the proud twin", like I alway do every wednesday night. This sunday is camp reunion. Haha This really makes me think of camp... Guess being a leader wasn't easy at all,thru out the whole camp, I wasso close to breaking down which in the end I did during the praise and worship session. Really glad Hwee Min and Enoch was with me then, literaly breaking down. Guess Enoch was also a bit shocked to keep on hear me say I wanna go home... guess I was kinda bitter during the whole camp. Well, not totally bitter. Actually, kinda think of it, I broke down when I was out of camp on the dunno wad day, 2nd day I think, when I went to SAJC collect testimonial. Wish I had someone to talk to or someone to lend a shoulder then. Oh well, it is over. Shall not think about it.

Am talking to Hui Ting now online. 'A' levels results coming out this Friday. Really dunno wad to expect but I did all I could for 'A' level liao, the rest up to God. No matter wad I get, whether I am happy or sad with the result, I shall thanks God for it. After all, He must have a result for wanting me to get that result. Shall take it as it is. Haha Realise that recently, I think about more about God and the meaning of life. This year I wanna be more serious about God, I wanna be closer to God. I dunno, to feel God's presence is really wonderful... I dunno how to describe the feeling. Many may question whether it is really God. Guess there are some things in this world that we can believe in without the need to see, all we need is faith.

Feeling good this evening cos NO NEED TO FETCH JOSHUA AND JONATHAN BACK FROM SCHOOL. Haha I got enough of that. Haha... Like playing with Joshua,Jon-Jon, Yi XUan and Ah Xiang, they are so cute. Really hyperactive but sometimes a bit rebellious. Hee hee... I must admit I am so not a good gal when I was young. I AM NOT A GOODY TWO SHOES kind of gal, in fact, I am quite rebellious. But sometimes I can be quite obedient. As for discipline, guess it is always done thru a cane. EW... HATE TAT! Good thing at this age, ther is no need for a cane. If the cane is used on me even now, I can die of embarassment liao. Haha

Guess wad, my mother shifted my brother textbook and files to his room, YEAH!!! MORE SPACE FOR ME!!! Cant wait for my room, if only my dad could quickly fix the curtain rod, hang the curtains and move the bed from my brother's room to my room. Haha Guess it is time for me to start working on making my whole mirror, that is if I could find the needed materials.

I think I am really bored to death. Seems like I am typing wadever that comes to mind. Aiyo where is Ting, tell me to hold on, till now not bad yet. Haha... BORED, BORED, BORED :)

Yesterday, help Suzanna, my godsister to bring her two sons back from school. MY GOSH!!! MEGA DISASTER!!!!!!!!!!! Firstly, I brought Yi Xuan, my 2 year old god niece, down with me cos my godmother cooking dinner. No one to look after Yi Xuan. Haiz~ Ended up having to carry her. Wads worse, when I picked Jonathan up at the gate, he passed me his bag and then ran to his frens. HEY I got a hard tim carrying Yi Xuan and taking his bag and chasing after him. It took quite some time before Joshua appeared and so we began our walk home which will soon become a BIG DISASTER!!!

Guess wad happened, there was too many ppl in the lift and I didnt managed to get in and Joshua and Jonathan , my 2 godnephew went into the lift WITHOUT, I shall stress again, WITHOUT ME!!! ARGH... I am supposed to look after them and make sure they not out of my sight. THEY WENT UP WITHOUT ME! I took the next lift with Yi Xuan in my arms, praying hard that they waited for me at the 9th floor. Guess wad, when I walked out of the lift, I only saw Joshua squashing on the floor... He was kinda crying and complaining of a terrible stomachache.

Haiz~ In the end, I called my godmother to come help me with Joshua. Think Jonathan has ran home without Joshua. It was then I realised I was holding on to the keys of their home. WAD A SITUATION! Me with Yi Xuan and Joshua, I cant possibly leave them there so I can pass the keys to my godmother. PHEW! Lucky for me, Jonathan ran back, I got him to pass the key to my godmother. In the meantime, I managed to get Joshua to stay put and stop Yi Xuan from running up the staircase.

YEAH!!! My godmother came in the end, she left Jonathan at home with the key. So we were walking slowly back home when Jonathan appeared. Oh my gosh, how silly can Jonathan get... You know what he did, he carried his school bag and locked the door and came back to find us. MY GOSH!!! He could have just left the bag at home, closed the door and looked for us.

After that day, I think I shall not want to bring them home anymore. So that is how a life of a mother is. LOL... Damn tiring that day, I felt as if I had ran like 2.4km. Haiz~ But then again, it was my god niece and god naphew who really spice up my life. Haha

Yesterday went with Jing Ting to Adam Road hawker centre eat lunch after oikos service. YUMMY!!! The prawn noodles is fantastic. Large prawns!!! Wads more, we can request the food stall uncle to refill our bowl with soup. I didn't know there was such a thing. Well... now I know. Haha... OH The sugar cane juice was sweet, no sugar solution was added. Its PURE SUGAR CANE JUICE!!! Wow I hae never drank such good juice in my life. Jing Ting said that the sugar cane juice sold very quickly. It is usually sold out before or during dinner. Wow... Tats fast. Adam Road hawker centre is a place that is worth eating at though it is rather difficult to find seats during the busier part of the day.

My brother collected his 'O' level result today. Think he is quite upset with his english and chinese result. Hope he is feeling alright tml... As for his E-maths and A-maths... WOW great improvement, from F9 to A2. Wad a big big jump! Science really not bad too. No matter how the result, guess we still got to thank God for it, for helping u through the tough exam period. Haiz~ It be my turn this Friday, I wonder how I do for my 'A' levels.
