a post to close off 2007 & usher in 2008. 2007 was good, but 2008 is gonna be even better!! :) am looking forward to it. loads of changes to get used to, for one. will be working PT @ the airport as well due to my uber slack timetable. hur hur.

big thanks to pam,JT,JP & WT for the perfume + F21 $50 voucher. 사랑해요!! :) will post up pictures of our gathering soon. ;)

results were great. quite unexpected for some. but all glory to God. only He could have done it. its a miracle. hah. finally got my honours, so i'm extremely thankful for that. audit was one big miracle. i flunked my mid terms with a solid F but yet God blessed me with an A- at the end. all i can say is, thank YOU, daddy God for seeing me through even though it was a v busy & xiong sem with loads of things to juggle. He never fails.



this week's gonna be busy even though work @ CLSA finally ended. airport job on 3rd, placement test on 2nd, beauty world on 4th & HK on the 6th!!

여러분, 안녕하세요? 잘지네요?? 마지막 학기가 1월7칠 시작할 거에요... 12월 하고 1월 날씨가 너무 시원하서 아주 줗아하는대요. 다음주말에는 친구하고 홍콩에 가서 많이 준비하고 기분이 도 신나요. 요즘 한국어 북습지 않아서 지선생님한테 조금 미안해요. 이제 부터 꼭 열심이 공부해야해요!!! 6급이 5급보다 정말 딸라요.. 어제 지선생님이 우리 학생한테 세 귀여운 노래를 가르쳤어요.

yvonne, me & joanna


ppl who went (jamaine's taking the pix)


yvonne, me & pris


yiwei & issac


us!

and i just checked the weather forecast for HK in the coming week. it's gonna be cold cold cold!! yippeee!!!!!! :D :D

went skating with some of the cluster ppl @ Kallang Leisure after service. really enjoyed myself & got to know the others much better. right pris?? ;) hehe. issac was hilarious on the ice. i felt as if i was watching an acrobatic performance instead of someone ice skating. but i have to say, he's really brave. he's not afraid of falling down at all!! but but but. he's a skating hazard! i can't stand seeing him skate near me. really makes me afraid of falling. wait till the rest upload the pictures on multiply. i'll post them here then. and i found out that yvonne knows pamelia cause they were both from kong hwa! what a small world! everyone's like interconnected.

pris, joanna & me had our mini 'adventure' camp en route to the bus stop after skating. it was raining & the roads had plenty of small puddles here and there. didn't help that the road was closed off due to the Circle Line construction. so we happily took a 'short cut' thru the tennis courts, only to find out that to get to the bus stop, we had to cross this grassy patch which was super wet!! ended up with super wet jeans, soaked slippers( my new ON pair!!! :( ) but a interesting experience i suppose. hur hur hur. thank God for no mud!

Cluster christmas party on the 26th @ Cat's place!!! u guys better go k!! don't pang seh me!!!! :D

just got myself started on a new drama, 못된 사랑 aka Bad Love. totally love it. Kwon Sang Woo is like super hot in here. the story's moving pretty fast too. loads of action in every single episode! when 지선생님 heard that i was watching it, she got super excited n started hitting me. haha. apparently she caught the 1st 2 episodes when she went back to korea. n i got over excited and said that kwon sang woo was 맛있어요(delicious) instead of 멋있어요(handsome). just a slight slip of the tongue, but what a difference it makes! the OST is really really nice too.. hehe. so many lovely shows to watch. have New Heart staring Ji Sung to watch as well as Lee Da Hae's new drama, Robbers airing on the 26th of Dec. happy i am!! :D

dance was pretty fun. need to practice more though. esp since we won't have class for 3 weeks due to the hols + my trip overseas.

ice skating tomorrow!! yay!!

haven't had the chance to blog much.. firstly, i wanna thank my lovely korean class peeps for surprising me with a lovely cake during the chalet!! thanks guys, i really appreciate it. :)


my cake!

Arrow's christmas celebration was ok.. had a nice dinner @ Manhattan Fish Mkt which Coach Eileen so nicely treated us to. :) thanks Coach!! time spent with Yvonne & Catherine was v enjoyable..loads of sharing too. ;) we're all going ice skating after service this week! can't wait.. hehe. Jamaine's gonna teach. yippee... :D :D pictures of the event!




our masterpiece!


CG peeps who came


Cath, me & Yvonne

going for k & shopping with WS now!!! ho ho ho. :D

제자리걸음 - 김종국

죽도록 힘겨워도 몸서리 치게 외로워도
널 그리워하지 않는게 다 쓸쓸한 일인데
늘 네 생각하나에 살고 하룰(하루를) 다써도 모자라서
다음날도 그 다음날에도 더 해가는 그리움에

또 하루가 흘러 또 한달이 흘러
일년 이라는 시간이 흘러
자꾸만 느는 거짓말 같은날이 날 반기지만
천 걸음을 가도 만 걸음을 걸어도
난 언제나 제자리 걸음
떠나고 싶어도 못 떠나 니가 와줄까봐

니 소리에 심장이 멎고 너의 미소에 몸이 굳어
사랑한다 너를 사랑한다 입술도 채 떼기전에

또 하루가 흘러 또 한달이 흘러
일년이라는 시간이 흘러
자꾸만 느는 거짓말 같은날이 날 반기지만
천 걸음을 가도 만 걸음을 걸어도
난 언제나 제자리 걸음
떠나고 싶어도 못떠나 니가 와줄까봐

왜 항상 사랑은 받는 너에겐 관대한 거니
이렇게 널 잊지 못한 내 앞에선 눈물나게 하면서

잊는 것보다 아픈게 나은거라 난 믿으니까
안 돌아와도 돼 날 사랑 안해도 돼
넌 내안에 제자리 걸음
보내고 싶어도 못보내 널 사랑하니까

this week has been one whirlwind of a week. what with interviews & meetups & networking nights! went for the event @ Bungalow last night. it turned out to be quite an enjoyable night after all. the ppl were really nice n all. n the best part was that they said that OT hours are no longer capped. plus we get to claim cab after 9 instead of 1030. seems like the drinking culture there is really prevalent. they drank like 1.5 bottles of Chivas! madness. one of my friends drank 6 bottles of beer. but everything was on the firm. so yeah. they drank like 'fishes'. haha. the food wasn't too bad. environment was pretty laid back. quite comfy. hopefully, more of them will go over & we shall all start in sept!! at least i'll go in with friends. yvonne chong!! go KP with me k!!! :D :D hehe.

should i start out in audit? i really have no idea. that's the path that most NTU acct ppl take. i'm trying to convince myself that its a gd stepping stone to my career, but once i think of peak..... how man. how? its still 1 year away, but i'm already getting the post-work blues. in fact, i dun feel like going to work now! booooooooo

i just want to stay at home, watch my dramas, travel when i feel like it & go shopping. ultimate life. yeah. sounds good all right.

sent my mac for repairs again.. i suspect that the ram's a little problematic. hope tt it comes back quickly. i'm already missing it loads. having a comp is definitely not a luxury. its a necessity!

i'm done with epi15 of coffee prince. hehe. had both my PWC & KPMG interviews already. taking leave on mon for the Deloitte & EY interviews. next week's pretty swamped too. booo. interviews are mentally & physically exhausting! it'll be all over soon. i can't wait.

went for CG last night with Yvonne. was quite ok i guess. there're so many new ppl in the CG!! n i found out tt Anil has already moved up. so yeah. so many ppl are leaving & coming. its the same with life isn't it? ppl come & go. its what u make of them that matters.

i'm so happy. i've got 2 new dramas to watch. one with ji sung & one with lee da hae. hohoho. :D :D clubbox is my new best friend. ;)

1st day of work tomorrow! hehe.

got myself a 120GB Western Digital External Hard Drive @ the PC fair today. my bro bought a new comp & he won a free printer in the lucky draw~! how cool is that? good things happen when u know that u're God's beloved! :) hehe. i love his new comp too. a faster d/l speed means that i get my Xman episodes waaaay faster. hehe. :) planning to get all those with YEH & KJK. i think they're like the cutest couple ever.

선생님 is on a 2 week holiday, which means that i've more time to catch up on my work. really really need to start revision & not procrastinate! loads of new vocab to remember as well as revise what i've learnt in the previous 5 levels!

i'm just so excited abt Kyung Hee next year. hopefully i'll be able to save enough to go for 6 mths. ahhhh. 좋아!

been watching Xman since the exams ended. got hooked onto this song by KJK. really really nice & oh so sweet. :)

사랑이에요 - 김종국

헤아릴 수 없이 많은 사람 중에 만난 그대
내 두 눈에 넣어도 아프지 않을 만큼 소중한
따듯한 두 손과 눈과 맘을 가진 사람이죠
나만을 보고 나만을 아끼는

내 사랑이에요 차고 넘치는
내 사람이에요 그댄 참 좋은
무엇도 아닌 날 이렇게 과분하게 만드는
내 행복이에요 나의 눈물과 슬픔마저 웃음 짓게 해줄
감싸줄 오직 한 여자니까요

언제나 하나를 주면 열을 주는 그대라서
염치없이 그 사랑 내 분에 넘치도록 받아서
미안해 라는 말이 더 미안해 말 못해줘도
세상에 대고 늘 자랑하고픈

내 사랑이에요 차고 넘치는
내 사람이에요 그댄 참 좋은
무엇도 아닌 날 이렇게 과분하게 만드는
내 행복이에요 나의 눈물과 슬픔마저 웃음 짓게 해줄
감싸줄 오직 한 여자니까요

듣고 있나요
사랑합니다
험한 세상도 그댈 등에 업고 헤쳐 나가줄
날 믿고 와줘요 무뚝뚝하고 멋없어도 평생 그대 곁에
함께할 오직 한 남자니까요

영원히 눈을 감는 그 날까지

오늘 아침에 아버지하고 사웠어요. 사실은 제가 잘 물랐어요. 왜 너무 화가나요?? 아이구... 제가 빨리 서울에 가고 싶어요. 그럼요 네가 이게 문제가 도 사라져요.

여름은 제발 빨리 와요..

and so, the exams are finally over!!! *cheers* however, i foresee a busy busy week, or weeks rather, ahead.

6th Dec - PWC Interview
10th Dec - EY & Deloitte Interview

i'm still kinda miffed that i've not 1 but TWO interviews on my birthday! hmph. i might not go for the EY interview in the end though. i applied for advisory but the list stated assurance instead. gonna call them up tomorrow to confirm before deciding. had loads of fun with WS & WL @ Partyworld today. we've all decided that Partyworld's much better than Kbox despite the lack of food. Firstly, the sound system's better. Secondly, there are more canto & korean songs there. Finally, its not as crowded as Kbox! shopping shopping on fri! ooh. i love the sound of that.

but first, i've gotta catch up on my korean. need to do loads of revision plus my h/w for 선생님.

Equinox 씨가 지금 서울에서 있어요. 너무 부럽다! 저도 가고 싶은대. 서울에서 많이 아름다운 사진을 찍었어요. 여행을 계속 즐려요!

ahh, just updated my Mac OS & so Safari got 'upgraded' too. am loving it loads now. esp since Safari has tabbed browsing now! score 1 for Safari! i still prefer my Safari over Firefox cause its waaaaay faster. i dunno y but Firefox seems to take a longer time to load. Safari rocks. period.

the weather's real cooling & nice right now. i can almost imagine myself out on a wooden deck, lying on a deck chair, overlooking this lovely green forest with the sea in the horizon. ahhh nice.... the bg music from Coffee Prince, 다시, makes it even better!! all i need is to close my eyes & let imagination take over.

Han Sung is cute in the show! i know loads of ppl like Han Gyul, but i still think Han Sung's the ultimate. haha. i agree with esther on this. i think its the glasses & the dog.. oh wait wait. let's not forget the voice!! he's a super gd singer, i have to say..



one more paper tomorrow. sighz... it'll be over by 1130!!!! :D :D :D read 1 chapter of 어린왕자 just now & it was torturous! reminds me of my sec chinese h/w where i had to check the dictionary every few words.. but but but, i shall persevere for the better good! 아자!

this song is so cheery!! :D kangta is cute in the MTV!

Candy - H.O.T

사실은 오늘 너와의 만남을 정리하고 싶어
널 만날거야 이런 날 이해해
어렵게 맘 정한거라 네게 말할거지만
사실 오늘 아침에 그냥 나 생각한거야

햇살에 일어나 보니 너무나 눈부셔
모든게 다 변할거야 널 향한 마음도
그렇지만 널 사랑않는게 아냐 이제는 나를 변화시킬테니까

너 몰래몰래몰래 다른 여자들과 비교 비교했지
자꾸만 깨어지는 환상속에 혼자서 울고 있는
초라하게 갇혀버린 나를 보았어
널 떠날꺼야 음! 널 떠날꺼야 음!
하지만 아직까지 사랑하는걸
그래 그렇지만 내 맘 속에 너를 잊어갈꺼야

머리 위로 비친 내 하늘 바라다보며
널 향한 마음을 이제는 굳혔지만
왠일인지 네게 더 다가갈수록 우린 같은 하늘을 아래서 있었지

단지 널 사랑해 이렇게 말했지
이제껏 준비했던 많은 말을 뒤로한채
언제나 니 옆에 있을게 이렇게 약속을 하겠어
저하늘을 바라다보며

내게 하늘이 열려 있어 그래 그래 너는 내 앞에서 있고
그래 다른 연인들은 키스를 해
하지만 항상 나는 너의 뒤에 있어야만 해
이제 그만해 음 나도 남잔데 음
내 마음 너도 알고 있는걸 알아
그래 이제 나도 지쳐서 하늘만 바라볼 수 밖에

햇살에 일어나 보니 너무나 눈부셔
모든게 다 변할거야 널 향한 마음도
그렇지만 널 사랑않는게 아냐 이제는 나를 변화시킬테니까

머리 위로 비친 내 하늘 바라다보며
널 향한 마음을 이제는 굳혔지만
왠일인지 네게 더 다가갈수록 우린 같은 하늘을 아래서 있었지

단지 널 사랑해 이렇게 말했지
이제껏 준비했던 많은 말을 뒤로한채
언제나 니 옆에 있을게 이렇게 약속을 하겠어
저 하늘을 바라다보며 한번 더 한번 더 말했지
이제껏 준비했던 많은말을 뒤로한 채 언제나 니 옆에 있을게

다신 너 혼자 아냐 너의 곁엔 내가 있잖아

n yet more evidence of God's grace..

A for BAV presentation (10%)
A- for BAV report (20%)
B for class participation (10%)

considering the fact that i pon-ed 206 like nobody's biz, B is a miracle indeed. how can it not be God? all i can say is, thank You, daddy God!

Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever. - Psalm 23:6

received an email from PWC last night, informing me that i've been shortlisted for an interview for the Advisory dept. was real surprised cause i didn't expect to get selected. heard that only 2nd upper & above get picked. i came to the conclusion that only my daddy God could have intervened. how else would i get thru?

interview's in 2 weeks! pysching myself up for it now.

aja!

306 is finally over! happiness. :D :D :D

now i'm just left with 206 next wed & i'm done! then its time to start revision for korean. i'm quite behind. this is not good.

signed up for dance classes with esther & the 1st lesson starts on the 11th! i hope i don't find out that i've 2 left feet. hur hur. nevertheless, i'm looking forward to it. ;)

n as a treat to reward myself, its Coffee Prince time! :D

this is a bad time to get hooked to Coffee Prince. although i'm just continuing from where i left off the last time. korean's tomorrow & 306's on wed. urgh. otherwise i'ld watch it straight thru w/o even feeling guilty. hur hur hur. but i agree with esther though, han sung's really cool in here. 너무 멋있는 남자!

hedging's not easy. esp the cash flow hedge. daddy God, trust that u'll see me thru my 306 exam!! its in YOUR hands!

accomodation's been confirmed! yippee yippee yay yay. can't wait to eat my 'dan tat', my wonton mee, my jap noodles & my dong ling char. :D

looks cool right?? :P i've always wondered how they managed to do those heart shaped thingamigigs.

i wanna buy a sweater, but shd i get a V Neck or a Turtleneck. n green or pink??

이 노래가 너무 줗아해! 들어 보세요!

시험이 아직 도 끝아지 않아서 슬퍼해요.....

<ㅣ>김범수 - 보고싶다

아무리 기다려도 난 못가
바보처럼 울고 있는 너의 곁에
상처만 주는 나를
왜 모르고 기다리니
떠나가란 말야

보고싶다 보고싶다
이런 내가 미워질 만큼

울고 싶다 네게 무릎꿇고
모두 없던 일이 될수 있다면

미칠듯 사랑했던 기억이
추억들이 너를 찾고 있지만

더이상 사랑이란 변명에
너를 가둘 순 없어

이러면 안되지만
죽을만큼 보고싶다

보고싶다 보고싶다
이런 내가 미워질만큼

믿고 싶다 옳은 길이라고
너를 위해 떠나야만 한다고

미칠듯 사랑했던 기억이
추억들이 너를 찾고 있지만

더이상 사랑이란 변명에
너를 가둘 순 없어

이러면 안되지만
죽을만큼 보고싶다
죽을만큼 잊고싶다

i really should be studying. but i can't seem to get down to doing it. the Cash Flow Hedge esp, is giving a huge problem. what with the effective & ineffective portions as well as the hedge effectiveness. :( i really think they spent too little time on Derivatives & Hedging and too much time on Consolidation. this is bad bad. no one seems to know how to do it as well. :( i think the foreign exchange is still pretty manageable, which is a gd thing i guess. still have numerous readings on mergers & acquisitions to read too. :( all of which i didn't print & didn't realise that they were examinable till a few days ago. tammy v kindly enlightened me on this pt.

boooo. i think my trip is more fun than this. :(

Flight has been confirmed. yippee!!

i can finally retire my audit books. but still have 306 to content with. i dunno which is worse. booooo. :(

looking forward to the 28th of Nov!

好好鍾意ar.... :D 現在好想吃 芝士撈公仔麵.....

容祖兒 - 陪我長大 (港鐵公司電視廣告主題曲)
當初跟你備課 成為戰友
到下課亦要牽手
壯年幻學會傷春悲秋 HA~
到大個為了憤鬥
把記憶留在千秋 有煩惱學會了笑笑口~
彼此看著變登 世間旅途
我們曾以心聲跳舞
如此關係 像光跟影 日後未必找得到
過去逛盡千里路 我們還有很多里數
陪我長大 互相修補 分享每段路
LET'S TAKE A RIDE
失戀的你 定會 共我分憂
心蹤使留下傷口 我和你仍能往遠處走
彼此看著變登 世間旅途
我們曾以心聲跳舞
如此關係 像光跟影 日後未必找得到
過去逛盡千里路 我們還有很多里數
陪我長大 互相修補 分享每段路
LET'S TAKE A RIDE
長年維係要好 沒有申訴腳步
情懷仍像赤子 得你會做到
彼此看著變登 世間旅途
我們曾以心聲跳舞
如此關係 像光跟影 日後未必找得到
過去逛盡千里路 我們還有很多里數
陪我長大 互相修補 分享每段路
LET'S TAKE A RIDE

indulging in my fave stress relief activity...





1st 2 papers on thurs. so fast... sigh. i can't wait for it to be over & its lovely lovely hols after that. i'm already planning all the fabulous post-exam activities. dramas galore, christmas loving, catch up times with ole friends, ice skating with jam, more dramas. wheeeeeeee. :D

i'm all psyched up for my 'winter' trip to HK & Macau. pity that it doesn't snow. was tempted to head to seoul for a quick fix but decided against it. anyway, i'll be going soon. so i really shdn't 'spoil' it by going there on impulse. boo to exams. ms chew has so kindly offered to make me a lovely tiramisu cake. ahh. touched i am! :) although the christmas blends are nice, my stomach just doesn't agree with it. what a pity.... peppermint mocha frapps leave such a tingling tangy feeling on yr tongue. shan't make an effort to try it again lest my stomach protests violently yet again.

seoul... wait for me!! i'll see u seoul soon. ;)

나야 .....너무 가고싶어는대! 겨울은 서울에서 경험하고 싶어요. 하루달... 제 꼼은 실현될 것이에요.

i just love this song... there's another version by Gi Chan as well. maybe i'll post it up soon. seriously, Bad Couple's really really nice! highly recomended! shucks. i don't think i'll be able to get down to serious studying unless i finish it ASAP. either that or get myself out of the house, away from the darn DVDs...

“사랑한단 말이야” (I’m saying I love you) (Dang Ja said)

돌아보지마 날 사랑하지마
내가 정말 잘못했어
나도 모르게 내 맘도 모르게
그냥 너에게로 왔어
너무 줄 것 없는 나
모든 걸 주는
너에게 슬픔을 건네네
너의 그대로 나의 뜻대로 그만 바라보게 됐어
나의 마음만 또 나의 사랑만
여기 그냥 두게 됐어
이제 모른 척 해야 해
차가운 미소로 너를 보낼 수 있을까

하지만..
떠나가도 널 사랑한단 말이야
헤어져도 널 못 잊겠단 말이야
생각하면 생각할수록
내 가슴에 뛰고 있는 너는
나의 공기처럼 널 감싸주곤 해

떠나가도 널 사랑한단 말이야
헤어져도 널 못 잊겠단 말이야
사랑하면 사랑할수록
그리움에 지친 내 모습은
정말.. 너를..
사랑했나봐

떠나가도 널 찾고 있단 말이야
헤어져도 널 기다린단 말이야
멀리가면 멀리 갈수록
내 가슴에 뛰고 있는 너는
나의 미래처럼 또 다가오곤 해

떠나가도 널 사랑한단 말이야
헤어져도 널 못 잊겠단 말이야
사랑하면 사랑할수록
그리움에 지친 내 모습은
정말.. 너를..
사랑했나봐
너무.. 너를.. 사랑하나봐..

enjoy.....

잠을 전에 쓰고싶어요...

네일은 학교에서 한국 구술 시험이 있어서 지금 조금 긴장해요. 밖에 비가 너무 많이 와요.. 아까 불량커플을 봤어요. 10과를 아주 재미있지만 조금 슬퍼해요. 아마 네일 시간이 있은대 계속 볼 까요.

i think it would be nice to wake up to this picture perfect scene every morning. i'm so in the holiday mood. its probably the cool air plus the christmas syndrome. i'm procrastinating so much u wouldn't believe it. and the exams are in 2 weeks. urghhh

someone book me out on a flight soon....

its the season of exams once again.... n so, its back to my fave haunt. :) think i shall go starbucks & sit at tammy's fave place. wahahha. i just hope that they'll come up with some yummylicious christmas-y drink like last year. green tea blueberry frapp's getting a little old. i <3 the peppermint frapp that they had last year! hopefully they'll bring it back again. n christmas is coming! yippee yippee yay yay. the weather's getting cooler & there's a holiday mood in the air! i love the end of the year cos the weather's just so great. y can't SG have winter?? hmmph.

n keeping with the exam tradition, here's what i bought to relieve myself. hur hurr hurr.





aren't they just lovely?? :)

ms teo, i so want to visit u over in UK. hopefully esther can go too, then we can go travel ard together! a triumvirate trip sounds nice!! :) i wanna go Prague!!!!!!!!

audit is sleep inducing. eeeeks.

지난 목요일에는 5급이 끝아요! 세월은 정말 빨라요! 저는 한국어를 1년 동안 배웠어요... 다음주 금요일에 6급 시작하서 너무 흥분하지만 조금 걱정해요. 아직 5급이 문법을 복습 도 안고 공부 도 안고... 어떻게요? 아... 머리가 너무 아파요!

저는 내년 6워에는 경희대학요에 가서 한국어를 공부하려고해요. 가기 전에 1-6급 꼭 복습해야해요! 제 대학요 한국어를 선생님 한국평론이 15게문장이 보내셨어요. 목요일에는 시험이 도 있을 거예요!

아참.. 1월6일에 홍콩에 갈 거예요! 하하. 거기에서 쇼일하고 구경 도 하고 음식을 먹고 친구를 만나려고해요. :)

the sweet scent of the gentle night breeze wafting into my room coupled with lovely music from my itunes makes for a perfect relaxing night. fall is fast approaching but yet singapore welcomes it with rain and more rain. the cool weather is a lovely respite from all that heat we've been getting recently. i can't wait for my 6 days there. lovely lovely weather awaiting me. far away from the heat. n its shopping paradise! ;) still wondering if i shd go for 3 mths or 6. n job hunting has started for most of us. just rushed out my applications to the Big 4, dug up my elusive transcripts, certs and testimonials & packed them away, ready for submission tomorrow morning. the term's fast drawing to the end. can u say 'Freedom' already? :) T3 Open House soon.. ho ho ho.

dinner & my presentation speech awaits....

tata for now

it's time for change. sometimes we just want to hang on to those familiar but yet not knowing if we should let go. i feel constrained, almost stifled in this tiny red dot that we call home. there's just so much more out there to see & to experience. i need a well deserved break before settling into the dull humdrum of life with the good ole' chair & screen, where the highlight of the day is when the clock strikes 6. i've heard that its like a black hole. once u fall in, u can't get out. Ever. i often wonder what it would be like. without a care in a world, strolling amongst the lilies of the field, feeling the sun on my back & breathing in the crisp mountain air. perhaps its pre-work jitters or perhaps its fear of the unknown. i really do not know. welcome to the world of pragmatism.

meanwhile, looking forward to the 3 mths THERE & the 6 days there.

perhaps, just perhaps, a miracle might happen....

y are airfares going up like nobody's business??? boo boo boo...

i've gotten hooked to 舞動全城 recently & it has kept me glued to the screen which is bad bad bad. i'm supposed to be revising for my exams. urgh. but i'm proud to say that i'm halfway thru the series already!! :D Bernice's dancing is really nice! its great that they'll film a sequel!!

i'm itching to go on a holiday. period. so many places to go but so little time.

1 more mth to the BIG exams.

sch life's coming to an end in approx 6 more mths. i dunno whether i'll miss it or not. work sounds scary. the only good part is the $$. i suppose sch can be fun in a way. Note: only if u study the subjects that u love. otherwise, its just pure torture.

i want my hols, like NOW!

내일은 세 주가 시작아요. 솔직히 이번학기가 정말 빨라서 숙제도 안 해요. 제가 도 힘들어요..... 어렸을 때 기분이 너무 줗다. 다시 아이가 생화를 돌아가고싶어요! 한국어를 도 많이 세 문법이 공부해야돼요. 12왈 빨리와...

지금은 불량커플을 봐요. 아주 아주 줗아해요! 아마 보지 않아서 꼭 봐요! 알아지? :) 잘 줗은 드라마예요. 불량커플ost 노래 중에서 사랑한단 말이야 제일 줗아해요!

omg! SSK's new digital single!! 너무 줗아해!

한번 더 이별


뒤돌아보면 너의 생각을 떠올린 게 언제였더라 숨 가쁘게 사는 건 무디게 했어
끝나지 않을 것만 같던 그리움

모른 척 너란 사람 묻어주던 친구들은 이제는 슬며시 네 안부 전하고
이젠 떨리지 않아 침착히 고개 끄덕인 나의 모습은 널 잊은 걸까

다시 못 보는 너 남의 사람인 너 견디기엔 미칠 것만 같던 이별의 그날들이 떠나가요
추억너머 그저 기억으로만 지나간 사람으로만 이제는 너라고 말하지 않겠어요
그 어디에 살더라도 제발 나쁜 안부 안 들리게

뒤돌아보면 그대 추억이 사라지면 비어버리는 나의 계절들이 맘에 걸려도
그리움 멈추는 게 나는 좋아요

못 본 척 나의 눈물 가려 주던 친구들은 이제는 웃으며 그 얘길 꺼내고
나도 웃음으로 받아 줄 수 있었던 오늘 우리 한 번 더 이별 할까요

다시 못 볼 그대 남의사람 그대 견디기엔 미칠 것만 같던 이별의 그날들이 떠나가요
추억너머 그저 기억으로만 지나간 사람으로만 이젠 그대라고도 말하지 않겠어요

이제서야 안녕 한번도 안했던 말 안녕 다시 올 것 같던 나 혼자만의 오랜 기대였던
그 날들이 내겐 필요 했어요 많은 걸 깨닫게 했던 그 이별을 난 한번 더 오늘 할게요
그 어디에서 살더라도 제발 나쁜 안부 안 들리게

argh!!! 성시경 is gonna be @ Yonsei in Oct!! i wanna go go go go go!!! ahhh.

i'm listening to his radio show live right now & its really gd! 너무줗아해! 그 목소리는 마음이 아주 들어요! :)

just started watching Bad Couple(불량커플) after reading the rave review abt it from Aini. i must say that i love it!! finished 3 episodes in 1 day! n i was supposed to be studying!! oh no. i found yet another k drama to get hooked on. now, why didn't i watch this earlier? it was aired abt the same time as Air City. i last saw 류수영in 18 vs 29. 신은경, the female lead in this drama, is really gd! her features resemble flora chan slightly as well! i wasn't able to get my hands on the chi subs for epi 2 & 3, so i resorted to watching it raw. but but but, i've already ordered the DVDs online! wahahhaha. :p oh man. i think i shd not continue watching it. need to start revising for 304 mid terms already. yeah!!

아자 아자!!

저는 5급 한국어를 공부해야돼요. 아이구.... 요즘 너무 빠바서 숙제도 안해고 복습도 없어요. 둘량커플 정말 멌잇다! 그 드라마를 아주 재미있었어지만 보지마세요. 다음주 수요일에 시험이 있을 거에요. 그럼 지금 샤워은 다음에 시작 공부하려고해요!

이따가 애기해요!

my afternoon was spent trying to call up KAIST. imagine my horror when i discovered that i couldn't get thru cause the number was invalid apparently.. started pushing buttons frantically, calling up various ppl, from the singtel operator to johnie @ IRO. called the grad sch in seoul, no response. called the undergrad sch in daejeon, still no answer. tried all the numbers they gave, but still no answer. emailed profs, exchange students there to try to get them to help me contact the IRO there.

you know what's the best part abt this?



It's Foundation Day in Korea today. i.e: their national holiday.


what a waste of energy. oh wells. looks like i'll have to call them up tomorrow then. need to submit all my forms by mon!! sure hope that i can confirm everything ASAP. including my proposed study at Kyung Hee too...

and here's what i got to comfort myself after that traumatic experience. :D





306 quiz 1 tomorrow!! sigh

yippee.. korea, here i come!

time for subject matching & all those other nitty gritty stuff. that and more after the mid terms.

thx jamaine for the Borders gift card! was really a nice surprise. ;)

the church's new praise & worship album's finally out!!! :D got my hands on it today after service and have been listening to it ever since. really really like our church's worship songs cause they make me feel so blessed & loved by my daddy God. :)

here's a sample of the song, I See Grace. do listen! you'll be blessed! :)

i like fall... how abt u? that's evidenced by my latest buys. check it out.






having recess, but still pretty busy. 2 mid terms next week & i've still gotta travel down to NTU to settle my exchange stuff. BS tonight as well! yippee. :D :D i think i'll just take a short break today. there's only so much studying that u can do. hur hur hur.

ho ho ho. i've got a new 50 epi k drama to watch. its called 겨울새 or Winter Bird. i've watched part of the 1st epi & i think its quite good so far. my fave 박선영 is in it!!! she was the lead in 18 vs 29. i really liked her in there. it's MBC's new weekend drama & it just started airing last week. i've got the 1st 2 episodes already. need to ration myself. can't watch too much. gotta study for 306 & 206 as well. ;) too bad there aren't any subs for this drama. :( but i'm quite proud to say that i can understand abt 70-80% of the dialogue so far! maybe its cause the words that they're using so far are all those that i've learnt. :P i managed to pick up some grammar and stuff that they used! :)

팜씨! 이게 드라마 보고싶은대 다음주 우리 만아슬 때 thumbdrive 보내세요. ㅋㅋ.

오늘은 한국어 수업이에서 많이 세 문법이 배웠었요. 세 문법이 조금 어려워지만 매일 복습있을 때 항상진보해야돼요. 내일 수업이 끝난 다음에 집에서 쉴거 예요. 내일 너무 일찍 일어나서 지금 잠을해야해요. 나는 내일 다시 쓰려고 해요! 약속!

한국관학기술원 아직 도 대답하지 않아요! 어떻개해요? 제가 기다릴게요.

지난주 너무 너무 빠바서 한국어를 복습하지 않고 숙재 도 안 했었어요. 다음주 학기이예요! 정말 좋아요! 왜냐하면 대학시험이 준비하려고해요. 그리고 한국어를 도 복습해야돼요. 요즘 너무 빠바서 드라마 도 보지않아요. 아... 12월 빨리와요. 내년 한국에서 눈이 보고싶어요!!

아.... 피군해서 잠을해요.

안녕!!

i think facebook's fun. period.

but i really shd be studying forensics instead. oooops. :P

its hard to put what u wanna say in words sometimes. there's just so much within u that words can't even begin to contain it. a lot has happened over the past week or so. but i'm just so grateful & thankful for all that He has done for me & i trust that He'll see me through till the end.

gotta start revising my 306 in preparation for the consolidation quiz on the 4th of Oct. thank God that 206 is open book. but i still need to practice my bonds & leases as well as the calculations for the financial ratios and all. break week's gonna turn into study week. mid term's fast approaching. it'll be the start of the exams soon before i know it. the coming week's quite packed too. oh. at least i've completed my 306 project, 304 project & 1 evaluation. so i'm just left with 1 304 evaluation and the 206 project. ho hum.

an old song, but still nice nevertheless. :)

just booked my Beauty World tickets!! yippee. :D can't wait to watch it next Jan!! :D



the ppl from the Korean embassy came by during class today & gave us all free tickets to watch Sympathy. So i picked up another one for WS as well. hehe. looking forward to the performance tomorrow. :P

i love watching plays. ;)

sidenote: i still believe that God will come through cos He's always faithful. :D

It's amazing how the gospel of grace is transforming ppl throughout the world. Many have been impacted through the revelation of the promises that God has for His people.

As i was browsing thru the SOLID ROCK mag today, i came across this testimony from this hk pastor. i realised that Ps Prince shared abt this a few weeks back as well. This HK Pastor is from The Vine, a church in HK. coincidentally, it was the very same church that i went to when i was in HK for summer studies last year. Then, i was commenting to my friends & family that the way the pastor preached reminded me of Ps Prince in a way. It's really wonderful that this church will also experience the revelation that all of us have & i'm sure that they'll definitely be greatly blessed! I look forward to visiting them the next time i head to HK & see how it has impacted them. Praise God!! :)



despite everything, i still believe that God is a true God & that He'll stay faithful to His promises.

Hebrews 13:15 --
Therefore by Him let us continually offer the sacrifice of praise to God, that is, the fruit of our lips, giving thanks to His name.

I trust that He'll continue to see me through everything just because He's a good God.

of triumvirs, starbucks & bears

old friends make the best companions. had a wonderul time out with the triumvirs last night. dinner @ billy bombers was yummy. that and good company made the evening altogether lovely. debbie's inner auntie manifested at aussino. her exclaimation of 'GO AWAY' upon seeing those $7.95 bedsheets is something i'll remember for a long long while. benny the bear makes a wonderful bedtime companion. i have no idea what debbie has against it. anyway, starbucks was a perfect way to end a perfect day. reminisicing abt JC days t'was great. makes me miss div & 03A31 loads.

pictures will be up. just as soon my apple comes back.

사랑스러워
김종국
This Is Me


워워 머리부터 발끝까지 다 사랑스러워
워워 니가 나의 여자라는게 자랑스러워
기다림이 즐겁고 이젠 공기마저 달콤해
이렇게 너를 사랑해

세상이 힘들어도 널 보면
마음에 바람이 통해
이런 게 사는 거지 이런 게 행복이지
이제야 느끼게 됐어 나는

온종일 우울해도 널 보면
머리에 햇빛이 들어
이렇게 놀라운게 사랑이지
기다린 보람이 있어

지난번 사랑처럼 울까봐
한참을 망설였지만
보채지 않고 나를 기다려준 너
편안하게 스며들어와

워워 머리부터 발끝까지 다 사랑스러워
워워 니가 나의 여자라는게 자랑스러워
무뚝뚝하던 내가 종일 싱글벙글 웃잖아
대체 내게 무슨 짓을 한거야

워워 그림자와 뒷 모습까지 사랑스러워
워워 부끄러운 애정표현도 자연스러워
기다림이 즐겁고 이젠 공기마저 달콤해
이렇게 너를 사랑해

널 행복하게 해주기 위해
내가 날 아끼게 됐어
내 모습 내가 봐도 이제 조금은
괜찮은 놈이 된 것 같아

워워 머리부터 발끝까지 다 사랑스러워
워워 니가 나의 여자라는 게 자랑스러워
무뚝뚝하던 내가 종일 싱글벙글 웃잖아
대체 내게 무슨 짓을 한 거야

워워 그림자와 뒷 모습까지 사랑스러워
워워 부끄러운 애정표현도 자연스러워
기다림이 즐겁고 이젠 공기마저 달콤해
이렇게 너를 사랑해

워워 나나 나나 나나나 나나 나나 나나나
워워 나나 나나 나나나 나나 나나 나나나
사람들이 모두들 부러워서 견딜 수 없게
그렇게 우리 사랑해

우~ 한가지만 약속해 세상 끝날 때까지
나에게만 사랑스럽기


my brother's & my new obsession for now. hur hur. he's got a new dance. trying to perfect it. kim jong kook & haha are the best at this. watch the video to see. :P

quote of the day from jamaine:

tomatoes taste like apples

hahaha.... and i wasted my sat watching X-Man. at least it was funny. :P

306's finally over and done with. ho ho ho. prof even said that our grp was the best out of all the classes that he has. and he praised us for the amt of effort and detail that we put in. *beams* at least it justifies all the work, sweat and tears that we put in!

however, i've a 206 seminar presentation next week. and i think i've a 304 evaluation to do the following week. it seems that after one presentation is finished, another comes again! sigh. this sem is really busy. been quite tired due to the numerous stuff that i've to juggle at one time. haven't caught up with my readings and all yet. :( i think i'm behind by quite a few seminars already.

304's drama is over already. was quite a short lived one. not that i'm complaining. haha. but still thank God for his intervention anyhow.

went k with WS today as a kinda treat for working so hard for the past 2 weeks. hur hur. k box's has followed neway & partyworld in implementing the 'fixed time' system. hai. this means that we can't stay longer to sing anymore. i guess the workers got tired of chasing ppl out of the rooms every single day. hah.

service with jam & the boys tomorrow. subway time! hur hur hur.

yet another nice song by my fave guy.

esther, u shd listen. :) its really v nice.

anw, exchange results have been delayed. just received an email from IRO saying that due to the overwhelming no of ppl who applied, they'll only be able to release the results from mon onwards. :( i was hoping to get everything finalised this week. oh well... looks like i'll only know on mon then.

dinner with the triumvirate has been fixed on tues! ms teo, pls don't forget my coat & yr 2 bagfuls of stuff at my place. ms chew, can u pls let me know how much i owe u as well?? where are we meeting and what are we having?? i'll be sure to bring my best friend along too. it misses u guys. hur hur.

apple hasn't come back yet. still missing it terribly. the technician called me on mon to tell me that my hard drive's fine (thank God) and that it was my wireless card that failed apparently. but what does the wireless card have to do with my laptop refusing to power on is beyond me. i'm just glad that my data's all in there. safe and sound. :D

sch has literally become my 2nd home. for this week at least. for the record, i was in sch from 830am-8pm on tues cause of my 306 project. and tomorrow i've to reach sch by 830 to do a run thru for the presentation as well.i'm extremely tempted to skip 206 on fri. 1stly cause its an 830 class and 2ndly cause i haven't finished my readings. the only thing that's holding me back is that the topic covered is rather impt i think. accting for bonds & leases. it took me an entire afternoon to complete the bonds part. i'm still left with the leases to read up on. not forgeting, i still have 304 readings and tutorials to do. yeah. i haven't been doing 304 tutorials since sem #5! bad bad bad. i suppose i'll have lotsa time to catch up this weekend.

packing my bag before going to zzzzzzzzzzz. night!

this is bad. i'm surfin the net for nice k-pop songs instead of finishing up my 306 presentation and doing my readings. urgh. bad bad. anw, i'm glad that 304's gonna be handed in tomorrow. yippee. these 2 weeks have been like mad crazy. its been like projects and more projects. and loads of things are happening this week as well. korean test on thurs, exchange results out btw wed-fri, 306 presentation on fri! eeeps. i'm behind on my readings for 304 as well. jia lat. think i gotta catch up soon.

did i mention that i couldn't wait for sch to start??

this is fantastic. look at what projects + stress + boredom got me.











and if i may add, it was all in the span of one day. i need to stop spending and start saving. yeah. hopefully i won't be so inclined to spend once i hand up my projects next week. ;)

i just had to post this before i head off to bed. level 5 started today! it was extremely interesting & i enjoyed it a lot! sung seng nim let us sing sung si kyung's on the street, which is my all time fave song. :) i sure understand the song a lot better now. :) she said that korean songs are like poems in a way. u need to look beyond the surface meaning of the word in order to understand what it means. time really flew by in class today. :) plus, the class is much smaller, so sung seng nim was able to give each of us more attention. also, she showed us plenty of pictures of kyung hee uni in seoul & its really beautiful! the buildings are akin to that of those in the UK! quaint and historical! i like!

another thing, my laptop crashed a few days ago. so i have to use the family computer to do my work. the good thing is that at least i still have access to the internet, though albit slow. i sure hope that i get my laptop back quickly. i miss it a lot! never have i felt so lost before. my bro said that its gd cause i will spend more time doing my work instead of surfing the net. hah.

i can't wait for next week to be over. cause my 304 & 306 projects will be over! yippee!! i've been working on my projects everyday this week! in fact, i've 3 project meetings tomorrow!!! oh man. for the better good.... i shall perservere!

God has really been instrumental this sem. w/o Him, i think i wouldn't even have had the energy and strength to do what i've been doing. its a miracle that i've managed to complete all my readings, do my tutorials & not skip classes! haha. amen!! :D

오늘은 너무 심심해요. 많이 숙제있어서 조금 피군하고 심심하는대. 하지만 아까 세 드라마를 샀었어요! :) 제가 내일 교회에 가하고 쇼핑할 거예요. 월요일 학교에 가거나 집에서 쉴 거예요? 정말 물라요. 아이구.... 내년 연세대학교에 갈 거예요. 아주 아주 흥분하고 행복해요. 제가 어제밤에 한 영화 봤어요. 그 영화를 아주 재미 있었어요. 영화에서 그 선생님이 창도자 매일 일기를 쓰서 한국말을 진보하는대. 그래서 제가 매일 꼭 일기에서 써요. 조금 어려워지만 한국어를 확실히 진보해요. 열심! 아자!!

제가 지금 학교 숙제를 공부해야돼요. 내일 다시 쓸 거예요. :)
