just got this shirt! cute eh? so cheery & happy!

gotta find out more abt my PA report online before heading to the airport to finish it up. hopefully by today. then i can enjoy my last week of the hols. time to crap crap & crap!



sidenote: anyone wanna swap classes with me? for AA206, i need 101 & for AA304, i need 111. i need to swap both at the same time otherwise they'll clash. let me know yeah.

선생님 or 생선님?

my korean teacher shared this interesting anecdote with us during the last lesson. according to her, westerners usually have trouble remembering the word 'teacher' in korean. 'Teacher' in korean is '선생님'( seung-saeng-nim). However, westerners usually mix up the 1st 2 words, leading it to become '생선님' (saeng-seung-nim) instead. and since '생선' means 'fish in korean, they are effectively calling the teacher 'fish' instead of 'teacher'. hahaha.

it's really interesting to note how the arrangement of words can affect the meaning so much.

and so, on my 1st free day after my internship has ended, i decided to cook japchae(잡채)! it turned out quite well i suppose. not bad for a 1st timer. :D

for the uninititated, japchae's a Korean dish made from sweet potato flour cellophane noodles (called dang myeon), stir fried in sesame oil with sliced beef and various vegetables (typically thinly-sliced carrots, onion, spinach, and mushrooms), flavoured with soy sauce, and sweetened with sugar. It is usually served garnished with sesame seeds and slivers of chili.
Japchae is most commonly served as a side dish, though it may also be ordered as a main dish. It is also often served on a bed of rice; together with rice it is known as japchae-bap (잡채밥).

--courtesy of Wikipedia--

and here's how my japchae turned out.



apologies if it looks half eaten, cause that is what it is. hehe. was halfway thru before i remembered to take a picture of it. :D

but, i still have a long way to go before it really meets the mark. ;)

internship's over. i think i'll miss all of them. God has really blessed me with supernatural & abundant favour in my internship! It was really the grace of God. There's just so much to share that i can't even decide where to start from. Pictures first yeah?

i guess i'll post up more on my internship experience soon.. :D

mickey just called from korea.. thanks a lot for getting my stuff!!!! :D owe u when u get back. :P

i think no one reads my blog anymore. haha. just cos they dun even understand what i'm typing abt. maybe, with the exception of pam soh.

anw, internship ends on friday!!!!! i can smell the sweet scent of FREEDOM already! no more waking up at 7( ok, 730), no more 6pm days, no more excel, no more financial statements(yes!!!). ho ho ho. i think i'll plonk myself at the airport for a few days next week to rush out my PA report so tt i can enjoy the remaining 2 weeks before sch starts. :D Popeye's, here i come. maybe i'll ask tammy if she wants to go too. then we can try to crap out rubbish & share ideas. hehe. waishan's already finished hers and is in HK now. the lucky girl...

korean level 5 is starting in mid aug.. pretty fast. i shd revise my korean after internship's over.. been watching Beautiful Days (shd finish tonight) and it's v nice. i'm proud that i can understand like 50% of it. classes do help. i realised that the word 'sarang' is like so predominant in the show. in fact, i think its the most said word. i wonder who's gonna continue with level 5. my whole table is, that's for sure. but i think quite a number will be dropping. the class was quite small last week. i think that time + effort is needed to master a language well. in addition, having loads of interest helps greatly too. i need to revise my grammar. i dun think it's that fantastic.. bleah. shd be getting back the test tomorrow too. i wonder how i did. i didn't even manage to finish the paper. too little time. and... i need to do my h/w too.. urgh. almost forgot abt it. 7th lesson of level 4 tomorrow!! fast! and it's time to part with my $420 for level 5 tomorrow.... 싫어!!

it's another 40 mins to lunch & i can't wait! we're gonna head to Changi Village for beef noodles later. yippee yippee. :D

i still have 1 more epi of Air City to watch. shd i or shd i not? hm hm hm.

Cam: watch Beautiful Days!! it's really really nice! :D

제가 지금 계획있어서 유의어 잘 모릅니다. 팔리 한국에 가고 싶은대...... 제발 시간이 팔리 보내세요.

다음 주에 일이 드디어 끝날 거예요. 기분이 너무 행복해서 슬퍼해요. 왜냐하면 동료가 도 아주 아주 친절해서 보고싶어요.

지금 목욕 후에 아름다운 날들 봐요.

하하.

안녕!

fooling abt in the nice, empty toilet at Oriental. haha. Marina Square's toilets were so crowded! to top it all off, i think my outfit that day blends in with the toilet decor extremely well. think zebra.

i still <3 Air City. :D

someone put a leash on my fingers & stop me from going to sgspree!!!! it's detrimental to my bank acc!!

oh mickey..... i've more things to add to my list. :D :D

check out what was in the papers today..





good news, no?

but... it's making me confused... :(

오늘 세 드라마 살아요! 아름다운 날들. 왜냐하면 최지우씨가 있어요. 하하. 그리고 와이산씨가 제 다라마를 도 많이 줗아해요. 에어 시티끝아 후에 아름다운 날들은 식자 봐요. 하하. 아.. 지금 열한시 이예요. 잘아요.

안녕히 주무세요.

아이구.... 내일 회사에서 일어야해요. 절대로 싫어요! 너무 안 가고 싶어서. :( 더 3달에 그럼 제가 시간이 많이있었어요! 그게 아주 아주 기다려요. 제 친구야 다음 주말에 홍콩에서 갈 거예요. 시기해요! 괜찮아요. 제가 내년 한국에서 공부하러 갈 거예요. 하하. 제 한국어 선생님이 한국에서 도 둘아갈 거예요. 흥분이예요. 저는 아까 체육관에서 운동했어요. 지금 조금 피군하고 기분이 도 행복해요. 제가 절대로 이상 아니예요. 왜냐하면 너무 길이 운동하지 않아요. 이제 와서야 운동해요. 하하.

지금은 에어 시티가 너무 재미있어요! 다음주말 끝아요. 조금 슬퍼해요. 훅시 김지성씨하고 한도경씨 같이 있을 거예요? 생각한다.

숙제를 아직 도 공부 안 했어요. 수요일 전에 꼭 선생님한테 받알 거예요. 매일 매일 도 많이 바빠서요. :(

에서 시티..... 화이팅!
