Long Distance Relationship (LDR)

Long distance relationship or simply known as LDR, I’ve been meaning to talk about this for a long time. *Note that I am NO expert to talk about this since my LDR is not that far. Maybe Sabah to Perak to Johor. Not that far huh.

Since I am having withdrawal symptom from Reply 1994 – yeah, I watched the last episode yesterday and cried my heart out – I decided to talk about this cause I have nothing to watch now.  

In the drama, Najung and Trash’s relationship come to an end when they are in LDR. I especially like this particular scene with Najung’s narration about how they broken up.  

We were a very special couple. But in front of time, in front of life, that specialness was becoming very average. Like anyone, we were becoming negligent and like everyone, we became buried. Eventually we became accustomed to that negligence. Like that, we became a very un-special couple. And like that, without breaking up, we had broken up.

I love this scene because it somehow mirrored my relationship, minus the broken up part. (Cause Mr. BF and I are still together to this very moment). When a couple been together for a long time, there are some “things” they've accustomed with and that lead to negligence. And if that “things” are left unattended, it thus lead to separation.

But the good thing is, when a couple been around each other’s life for a long time, they become comfortable with each other and thus want to keep each other by their side because they know what their partner wants. (And it is also because we are lazy searching for other partner because then you have to begin the “process of knowing” from A to Z over and over again). Like my friend said, couple terlampau lama, break pun rasa lain, mau cari orang lain lagi. Biar sajala. I second this million times.

I’ve been in a LDR for about 3 years now. Ok, plus minus the holiday maybe 2 years. The only good things about LDR so far are:

1. We are very happy to see each other after a long time.
2. We treasure the time when we are together.
3. It’s like we are new couple when we meet after a long time. You know shy shy.
4. I love his presence more than anything.
5. And other bunch of stuff. Haha.

Like I said, I am no expert in this LDR thingy, so maybe my experience differ from other LDR couples. Some said LDR is no good, but I think it depends on you, if you love your relationship so much and want it to last longer, you will always find ways to make it works. My LDR works because I am cool, jealousy aside and trust my partner.

And of course we fight sometimes, but we coolly shrug it off like it’s nothing. We are cool like that. Em on a second thought, maybe not, maybe I am cool like that (cause I don’t want to prolong our fight so I just say sorry first, everything will be fine, but I still win. why? cause women will always win no matter what) This may serve as good techniques to have long lasting relationship don’t you think?     

Team Chilbong until the end. It's been a great few months with you Reply 1994. 

Hey, New Year's coming

~taya~xoxo

Of Christmas and celebration. MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Let me begin my post with, MERRY CHRISTMAS! It’s that time of the year again.

This year’s Christmas was a quiet one. I stayed at home all the time. As usual we went to church. Secure ourselves a good place to sit this time, we finally can lean, hoho, but we still sit at the same place as last year, church’s upstairs' chairs. We can’t beat those who came very early although I must say we really do came early to church this year. Still end up sitting upstairs though. Sigh. And as usual, I got Christmas allowance from my dad. I am my daddy’s little girl.

There’s not much of a Christmas commercial this year on TV. I wonder if it’s because of that “issues”. I am honestly disappointed, so much for shouting “1 Malaysia” when reality is….. Ok, I’m going to stop here. Luckily I am a Sabahan and Sabah multicultural is the best when it comes to celebration. We are tolerant with other religion, no racism, or religionism (if this word even exist). Hope this will never change in Sabah.

This year’s Christmas also blessed with nonstop rain. (why no snow??) It rained on Christmas Eve and Christmas day. Last year’s was good though. It stopped raining on Christmas Eve and Christmas day. Well, it’s still a God’s grace. I hope it will stop raining on New Year. I need to see those fireworks play in peace.

Now, I only have to wait for New Year and will go back to Ipoh in no time. I’d said this last year, and will say it again and again every year. I DON’T WANT TO GO BACK IPOH.

Merry Christmas from us, Daddy's little girls.

(On a side note, I change my blog’s background. It’s a Christmas tree with purple sky, because I love purple damn much)

Merry blessed Christmas

From Fadalya and Family. xoxo

KDrama Rant: Pretty Man @ Bel Ami

My first impression? OH GOSH! CRINGY! I want to drop this drama from the early episode. Everytime I watch this drama my hand will clench into a fist and it won't unfold. I feel like scratching my skin until it's bleeding because the cringe-worthy scenes in this drama is so damn high!

I hated Jang Geun Suk in the early episode because he is the reason I clench my hand. I fast forward his scene cause I can't bear to watch it and I'm afraid I might actually make my skin bleeds. The only thing that keep me watching is Lee Jang Woo, our unfortunate second male lead. He is so cute in this drama. His crush towards IU is so cute!

I'm glad I didn't drop this drama though cause the story is getting interesting. We are now on the fourth woman, the 8^th episode, and I'm curious what will happen next. And JGS's hair is getting better. I hated him with longer hair cause it makes him look gay. Not gay happy, gay gay. I used to adore him, not anymore. well, maybe a little.

Because they are so cute together, 

I feel bad for David Choi (Jang Woo's character's name)

 coz second male lead NEVER GETS THE GIRL. 

Yes, I'm talking about Young Do and Chil Bong.

One of my fav scene where he says she's cute. 

I can feel the love.

See the hairstyle? It's gradually becoming better, cooler, and handsome.

Rant on life: Study early VS Study last minute

Study early will help you get a good result no doubt, but study last minute doesn't necessarily do you bad.  

Right?

So I got my exam result last week and I am pretty satisfied with it. Well, very satisfied actually because I never would have guess I’ll get that pointer. Because you see, I am a last-minute-study kind of student. I never study early, even though I really did want to change this habit of studying last minute but it is just words and forgotten soon. The advantage of studying last minute is, well not much, but for me, it helps me to remember information better. Adrenalin rush and stuff help me to memorise fact better. True story bro.

While studying early is better, like few in our class, who study very early and get good result. Always on the top. But there are also few others who study early but --not to sound cocky-- get the same result as mine. I guess the assignments help a lot then.

The question is now, should I keep this habit of studying last minute or change it? I guess the answer is KEEP IT.  I’ll never change anyway.

P/s: Santi, come la we study again together next sem. Our result got better kan. Thumbs up for last minute study! 加油! 

lots of rant

The Hand-me-down stuff

When I was a little girl, I used to think that any clothes will shrink to a smaller size. But even when I was a little child, I had my doubt and question like, “how the hell the clothes shrink? Ah, it must be because of the getah in the clothes.” You know, getah can stretch, become smaller and bigger. Stuff like that. Okay, I'm having trouble explaining this. Just think of it as latex. Eventually I learnt that the clothes did not shrink but it is us who grow up and become bigger.

Growing up as a second child, I don’t have many hand me down clothes because I don’t have sister. I have older brother. Now, my parents wouldn't want me to wear boy clothes do they? I grow up as a fashion criminal, meaning I don’t have sense of fashion. I don’t have anyone to teach and show me the proper fashion that I should follow. So I just wear anything that I think is good for me. It was embarrassing. I was very tacky. Gosh those years of embarrassment.

The first proper hand me down I got was from my high school teacher. It was my baju kuliah. 5 pairs of baju kurung total. Well, it is technically baju kurung but there is other appropriate name for it. Is it baju kurung kedah? I never bother to know the differences. I'm ignorant remember.

She gave me and my friend Ichel those baju kurung because she doesn’t wear it anymore. (Cause she have tons of baju kurung). I was very happy because I don’t have to buy baju kurung anymore. I was very lucky to have the same size as my teacher. I’ve been wearing the same baju kurung for 2 years. Yeah, talk about saving money. Hoho.

Recently, she gave me another batch of baju kurung. Yes, money saved! I don’t care if it’s a hand me down. It looks new to me. And I don’t care wearing hand me down. Nowadays with the cost of living keep increasing, naik sana, naik sini, gaji tidak naik pun, I accept anything people want to give me as long as it is free. Yes, saving money is my priority now.

Lots of love

Quotes of the day 14

If you have nothing to lose, you have nothing to fear. The deeper love grows, and the more you don’t want to lose it, the more your fear grows. Love feeds on fear. But what overcomes that love-fueled fear is love itself. 

~Reply 1994~ 

Ada Kawan Sudah!

So, my lil' bro got this surat tawaran from SPA since last July. And "we" (my lil bro and I but mostly me) was waiting for his penempatan coz SPA didn't state the penempatan in the surat tawaran. It was I who felt more nervous waiting for his penempatan coz you know, in my place, I mean in perak, KSKB is so near, jalan kaki pun boleh. Ok, jalan kaki is a no no. Penat gila jalan kaki. So, if my lil bro got there then syukur la.

So, in the surat tawaran, "Sila hubungi Jabatan Kesihatan Negeri Sabah di talian bla bla bla mulai 29 November 2013 bagi mengetahui maklumat tentang taklimat". It was freaking 29 November when we called them and they said and I quote "(bla bla something they said) kau cuba lagi kol nanti 6 haribulan". Ok, so we wait. And we called them at 6 Dec, and their answer was "nanti kami kol balik". The F? We were tired with this game and decided, when it is the time, it will come out eventually.
 
9 December, I was still patiently waiting for the result. See, it was my bro's problem tapi yang sibuk sibuk kakak dia. hoho. So, apa lagi, I checked this website yang memang for the SPA-ians to check their penempatan, there's one new announcement., "Semakan penempatan boleh dibuat mulai 10 Disember, jam 5 petang". Oh ok, so it was finally there huh.

10 December, 5 pm. I waited 18 minutes to check if the result was out or not. Guess what. Not out yet. I knew it. Kalau dari 29 November lagi sudah diorang suruh tunggu, apa la sangat kalau lambat sikit lagi kan. *insert sarcasm tone* At 6 something almost 7 pm, The RESULT was finally out. The long awaited freaking result was finally out. I should be given standing ovation for waiting this long. Macam tunggu elaun saja. Samala, lambat keluar. Pengurusan hampeh. Bluek.

Macam God listen to my prayer, or coincidence? Maybe the former.
Thank you God! My lil bro got KSKB Ulu Kinta! Ada kawan sudah! So boleh jalan sama-sama. Boleh jadi "boyfriend" sementara. Boleh minta duit. (ok tidak malu, kakak minta duit when I supposed to give him money coz you know his allowance will be in very late coz he's a freshman so I will be giving him money and the fact that his allowance is bigger then mine, He supposed to give me money. Compensation money).

My dad juga sengsara if like this. His 3 kids dapat di semenanjung. Means more money. Its ok dad. Our allowance can cover the expenses. But I'm very happy coz I can take care of my lil bro sebab kami dekat. It means his money saya yang jaga. hohoho. *evil laugh*

Finally, Congratulation to those SPA-ians out there. Your future is now brightly shining in front of you. You just have to follow it kay.

If only I got the tawaran for Medical Assistant earlier before I enter IPG, mesti now I praktikal oready and next year dapat gaji sendiri oready. SPA! why u lambat give me tawaran?? Frust ni. Frust. 

lots of love
~taya~merry Christmas hohoho

Random: How cold is my place?

How cold is morning in my place? Pictures below was taken at 0620 in the morning. That's how cold it was. I guess the temperature was 21 - 22 Celsius. Not sure though. 

As you can see, I live in a house surrounded by paddy field. Our own paddy field. Note the fence in the pictures, yes outside the fence is not ours. Sometimes the mist is so thick I can't even see what happens 50 meters ahead. 

But you can always pretend you live in a fairy land. I always do that when I was in high school. I go to school at 0640 every morning and sometimes the mist is still there and I can see my house disappearing as I walk further. Fairy land indeed. Memories! 

Nowadays it is so hard to wake up in the morning. Blame holidays.

Back side of my house

Front side of my house

Zoomed in front side

Zoomed in back side. The zombies are ready to attack us.

(If this how my place looks like in the morning, I wonder how it will look like in Cyril's place?)

KDrama review: Puberty Medley (2013)

Holla there December! Month of Christmas! Merry merry merry….

My first post for December is about, well, non-other than Korean drama. I've been indulging myself into many Korean dramas these days. Something that can only be done during long holiday. My broadband has been a great help really although the quota exceeded its limit already. The bad side is it only works supersonic fast at 2 am until 8 am SHARP. Guess what time I sleep every day. Giggle.

So I came across this drama “Puberty Medley” or “Adolescence Medley” when I was busy searching for good movies in YouTube to be downloaded. It is a KBS special drama and only slated for 4 episodes. So everything is crammed into 4 amazing episodes. I was hesitate to download it initially but my heart said, why not give it a try and I’m glad I did.

This drama is basically about first love and is set in high school in the year 2003 and also the present year 2013. The story starts with our male lead teaching in a class and suddenly we hear bell ringing and an angry voice of a woman. He was actually sleeping and dreaming and the sound of an angry voice woke him up. Then we can see that our male lead is actually a teacher teaching in a prep school. The story then goes back into the past and the characters’ development are exhibited.

What’s in this drama?

1. It’s set in high school and is suitable for teenager. Since I’m basically a teenager still, so it perfectly suitable for me.
2. It tells a simple first love story that's sweet and funny.  First love is always special.
3. Teaches you to live your life bravely. Embrace the challenges in life. Be good to people.
4.  Don’t judge a person by its “cover”. He/she may be a good person.
5.  Don’t be a bully. No one likes bully.
6.  Enjoy your high school life. It happens only once.
7.  The songs in this drama are awesome. Dae to the bak!

Episode 1- synopsis

After transferring schools seven times, Choi Jeongu learns it is easiest not to make friends nor enemies. He sticks to that practice when he transfers into Namil High School, but not for long. The guy sitting next to him, Deokwon, is overly friendly and keeps trying to become friends with him. The class president and the top student of the school, Yang Ayeong, keeps bothering him to do chores for the class. Jeongu succeeds in remaining invisible until one fateful day, when he stands up for Deokwon against a bully, who is constantly picking on him. He mistakenly hits the Brown Bear, Yeokho, and is challenged to a duel. If Jeongu wins, Deokwon will be left alone. When Ayeong tells him to apologize to Yeokho, Jeongu gets angry and blurts out, "Go out with me." A day full of regrets, but Jeongu is not concerned, since he is transferring out in a week anyway.

Episode 2- synopsis

Since Jeongwu is no longer transferring out, all of his schemes went out the window. "What do I do about National Singing Contest?" " What about Brown Bear, who is out to get me?" "And... what do I do with my public girlfriend Yang Ayeong?" Jeongwu is faced with the greatest crisis of his life. Yeongbok and Wonil are itching to beat up Jeongwu, but Yeokho, who is supposed to fight him, simply smiles knowingly. Jeongwu comes to grip with the fact that he cannot escape the danger before him, and joins a boxing gym. However, he sees Yeokho there and runs away and ends up running into Ayeong at the bus stop. After a long, silent trip home, she asks him a question he cannot avoid...

Episode 3- synopsis

Deokwon says a lot has changed since Jeongwu transferred in, and calls Jeongwu Namil High's hero. It's a bit embarrassing, but Jeongwu doesn't mind. But when a true hero is needed, the one who steps up is Deokwon, not Jeongwu. Jeongwu is reminded of how cowardly he really is, and becomes disappointed in himself. Meanwhile, Jeongwu hears from Wonil that something is going on between Yeokho and Ayeong. When he asked, Ayeong says coldly, "Why is that so important to you?"

Episode 4- synopsis

Jeongu faces off against Yeokho, man to man. Thanks to that, he feels closer to Ayeong. Now all that's left is to sing a cheerful song for her on National Singing Contest. He's walking on air, happy that he's shaking off his cowardly self and maturing a little. Ayeong takes him by the hand and teaches him how to ride a bike. The bike has "YW85" written on it. Ayeong says she wants Jeongu to have it, but he refuses to accept something so precious to her. But she keeps insisting. Jeongu suspects something and turns his back to her, and she musters up the courage to tell him... 

Btw, the male lead,Kwak Dong Yeon is 97-er. But he had done a very good job in portraying Choi Jeongu. He can sing too! Such a young adorable talented lad.

Wang Lee Hom no more.

I am a big fan of Lee Hom since primary school. I was studying in Chinese primary school so we were force (likely so) to read Chinese newspaper which I did actually but only on the entertainment page. Hah. We were also asked to buy the Nanyang Siang Pau Newspaper. It is a Chinese newspaper. But only few of us bought it, and I think the few of us who bought it was actually Chinese students. I think we only have like 3 Chinese students in class despite being in a Chinese school. Majority of us are Dusun in ethnicity and Sino Dusun.  

So talking about Lee Hom, He can sing, act, able to play more than 10 instruments including violin, piano, drums, guitar, electric guitar, harmonica, flutes and Chinese instruments. He’s tall and handsome. And he can speak perfect English! How can one not adore him!

I am a big fan of him and always read about him in the newspaper. I don’t have laptop or internet connection back in 2004 and never thought of visiting the cyber café to surf the internet just to read the news about Lee Hom, so I only rely on Nanyang Siang Pau’s entertainment page to know about him and other Chinese celebrities. Those days, Chinese celebrities are really famous. Nowadays, it’s all about Korean celebrities. Yeah, blame those Korean fans (ok, including me).

Few years back in 2009, when I first created my Facebook profile, I think Lee Hom was among the first celebrity I clicked on like button. And yesterday! He posted something that make every fan girls disappointed. He has a girlfriend now! T______________T I think I just died a bit inside. You might as well get married fast and have a handsome baby so we, the fan girl, can adore your baby instead. Haha! Anyway congratulation! I always wonder if he will end up becoming like Andy Lau who get married at old age. Lee Hom is pretty old now. Lee Hom ah, you should really just get married now and better protect your wife so that your extreme fans will not harass her. As a good fan girl, I am really really really happy with the news (although I want to bang my head on the wall when I first read the news haha!)

I wish you a happy relationship and good luck in everything you do. I wish you get married fast. And, emmm, I will still be your fan.

Goodbye my youth. Goodbye Wang Lee Hom. T_____T

UPDATE: It's Official! Wang LeeHom is married! Wang and his 27-year old girlfirend, Lee JingLei registered their marriage in New York on Wednesday, November 27 2013. Guess what is the date for this post, November 28. It means that the picture above was posted on the same day as his marriage. I was totally shocked. It's not like I don't anticipate this, but the fact that I know he's married a year later (4 months to be exact) was shocking since I post this on November 28 and he got married on November 27!
I cried a bucket tonight(24/3). I feel restless. I will no longer linger over the past. Goodbye my youth. Goodbye LeeHom!!!

Avicii in Sepang!

Yeah, so the Avicii ads has been lingering around my blog for a long time and it pissed me off because every time the ads come out, I will be searching for the song. Like if I open two tabs at the same time, the YouTube video will come out of nowhere and I will be listening to two freaking videos at the same time and it makes me crazy!

Like I said, this concert has been promoted for a period of time through Nuffnang ad and every time I click on the ad, I will automatically look at the ticket price section. Who the hell bought a freaking RM7500 ticket price! Gosh so expensive, and sold out some more. I have to admit, I have never been into any concert before, and before I die, I should go to one. sigh. There is cheaper ticker price which only cost RM89 but it is also sold out. I can afford that one but being here in Sabah, so far away from Sepang, furthermore I don't think there's anyone who wants to go to their concert with me. I mean, this concert is a Avicii concert and he is a DJ so I don't think there will be any singers invited to sing a song at a freaking electro-techno music beat concert! Or is there any? I will never know.

When I say no one wants to go to the concert with me, I really mean it. Among my friends, I only know one people who likes this kind of music genre. Yes, he is a guy and I am a girl. Yes, it’s weird. I am not like other girl. I love techno, electro, kind of music. This genre of music is really good. I love skrillex, knife party and martin garrix. But I only know knife party and martin garrix through vine. Yeah, their songs came out a lot in vine video. Like a lot! I listen to these song a lot when I’m alone because, their songs are awesome and I can dance like crazy without other people judging me! You can also do a shuffle dance with these songs. I know a little bit shuffle coz imma bad girl in high school. Rather than studying I play a lot. I learn how to shuffle from my friend when we were in form 4. Besides, Form 4 is a honeymoon period. We play a lot during that time. Sigh, those days.

So for those who are going to Avicii concert, enjoy and be crazy! And curse those who’s in VIP Cabana area. Okay kidding. 

psst its on this Saturday 30/11/2013.

Holiday’s gift

I am sick. I don’t know how I got it and why I got it. I’ve been living my life healthily this holiday. It is suck to be sick. I cannot sleep coz my nose was blocked and it makes me hard to breath. I have a bad headache and I have to sit down all the time.  I feel like an old woman. My mom was very attentive and helpful, she gave me Actifast Panadol coz that is the only medicine left in the house. I refuse to go to hospital coz I hate hospital and it is too far away and I am so weak and I am lazy to walk and this type of sickness doesn’t really require me to go to the hospital. Just rest at home and you’ll be fine in few days. Although Mr. Aldo force me to go but I gave 101 excuses not to go. You cannot force me mister, I am a pretty stubborn lady.

Another 5 days and it is December. It is the month of advent. And I heard that during this month, couples who want to get married have to wait next year coz the church won’t allow marriage as to respect the advent month. I think this is the first time coz last year it was still permitted. That is why so many people got married this month. It came as a surprise for me really coz I saw many wedding pictures shared in Facebook. Wedding dress so yeppeun! Makes me want to get married.

I wanna go jalan-jalan. I haven’t go anywhere this holiday. My life is so boring. Should have keep some extra money for travelling purpose. Enough to cover my travelling expenses. Gonna do it next year. (but looking at my situation right now and how I handle money, it will be a tough job) T_T   

And I present you...
The side profile of my Chilbong. How can someone be this cute! gosh fan girl.

lots of love

Reply 1994, I’m officially joining the fence!

In my previous post, I did say that my favourite drama of the four that I mentioned was The Heirs. I still love it but I love Reply 1994 more now. Reason is, our Trash oppa and Chilbongie! I am Trash oppa team from the beginning of the drama but that was before my Chilbong enter the story and melt my heart. Gosh, my inner fan girl comes out.  The reason why it is different from The Heirs is, the two male lead get the same share of romance with the female lead. As for The Heirs, only Kim Tan get to have cutey kissy scene with Eun Sang. My poor Young Do. *let me hug u*

As the episode reaches its 11^th episode this Saturday, (no show on Friday because of the MAMA thingy), we will get more romance and heartbroken scenes but I totally root for Chilbong, coz he is so cute! I wonder, is binggrae likes Trash oppa here? Or just treats him like a big brother? Coz in Reply 1997, Joon Hee is gay and he likes Yoon Jae. And I totally cool with it. Hahaha. Yoo Yeon-seok who plays Chilbong was dubbed as nation’s bad guy coz he always plays bad guy in the movies he starred in, and I really hate him in the “a werewolf boy”. Good thing he plays good guy in Gu family book. I first saw Jong woo (who plays Trash Oppa) in “my tutor friend” and he was also a bad guy. All the bad guy has turn to good guy now huh. Go Ara should really be thankful to the casting director for casting her in this drama. Her previous dramas was a disappointment. Not that I watch all her dramas. Previously she is just known for her beautiful look and not for her talent. I don’t know who the husband is, and we will have to wait until the end. So, may the best man win (Although Trash Oppa and Chilbong are the best).

***

Gosh, how many Korean dramas and movies have I watched? I should really learn Korean language now.  Oh and did I mention, The Heirs got its first highest rating last night for its 13^th episode. See, with “secret love” gone, viewers decided to switch over to The Heirs. The rating for last night was a whopping 20.6%. *clap clap for The Heirs team*

They are looking at the magic eye

sseureki Oppa, Na jeong, Chilbongie

lots of dramas to root for

~taya~

Of dramas and Friends

So my holiday started few days ago, and I've been living my life with games, dramas and stuff. You know stuff like eating, sleeping, eat and sleep all over again. And I am still faithfully waiting for Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Sunday coz I want to download my dramas. (Duh, talk about crazy drama fan girl). My broadband has been treating me good, the speed is amazing (at certain time duh). So far, nothing amazing happened. I did went out with my buddies yesterday. We laughed and telling each other stories about exam and since we are all TESL-ians, we have more to talk about. That’s the advantage of having your best buddies majoring in the same major.

Dramas quick update: I am totally swooning over Chilbong. That doesn’t mean I don’t love Trash oppa, I love them both but I love Chilbong a bit more, 60 – 40 maybe? More on this later. And just in case you don’t know these characters, it is from Reply 1994/Answer Me 1994. Joon-ah, hugs and kisses. *flying kiss*

And Young Do, even though you are a bastard, you still hot. I feel like I want to bitchslap him and hug him at the same time. But gosh he’s so hot, even hotter than Kim Tan. (and no I don’t mean literally hot like hot sunshine) And yes, this is The Heirs I’m talking about. I hope it gets good rating now since secret love is finished and new drama “Pretty Boy” will come afterward, of which will air tonight. New drama coming into collection baby!

Its 7 pm but it is so dark already. I miss this. 

and with this I announce I have the second male lead syndrome!

Korean Drama Craze

Why are people so crazy about Korean drama? Gee, who knows? As for me, I might answer “because of the fantastically and beautifully script written by the writer of course!” ah, who am I kidding. Of course because of the actor and actresses, especially the handsome actor. Hoho

For the next 2 weeks is my exam week, but doesn't mean I don’t have time to watch my Korean drama. One will always have time for Korean drama, especially *those people like me.

*it means people who never miss to watch their favourite drama, more like Otaku, but less obsessive. But of course our interest is more towards Korean drama.  (Oh, Otaku is Japanese term that refers to people with obsessive interests, commonly the anime and manga fandom)*wink*

There are 4 Korean dramas that I've been watching now. 

1. The Heirs 

2. Marry Him if You Dare 

3. Secret Love  

4. Reply 1994

And needless I say, this Korean dramas have done a good job in entertaining the audience, people like me. 

The first drama “The Heirs” is basically about the romance between the rich lead actor and the poor lead actress and the annoying rich people who are trying to keep their status quo. And of course our handsome lead is LEE MIN HO!  My favourite drama of the four so far. (coz i like high school type drama so much)

Second drama is “Marry Him if You Dare” and it is basically about the future self of the lead actress go back to the present time to prevent the lead actress from marrying our lead actor. I only watch this because the lead actor Lee dong gun, who I last seen in “stained glass” and Jung yong hwa of CN Blue. So far, the story have been delightful especially the 6^th episode. We’ll see how it goes next.

The third drama “Secret Love”, I only start watching it because many reviews about the drama have been pointing out the same thing, “IT’S GOOD”. And it really is. Ji Sung and Hwang Jung Eum acting really portrays their character well. And Ji Sung is especially handsome here considering that he just got married. Huh! The story is about the second lead actor who accidentally killed a woman and his girlfriend who is the lead actress volunteer to go to prison for him only to be betrayed by him. So she seek revenge with the help of the lead actor whose girlfriend is the woman killed by the second lead actor. How complicated is that? Or my explanation is complicated? Haha

The last drama is “Reply 1994” which is the spin-off of the hit tvN drama, “Reply 1997”. It is set in the year 1994 which is 19 years ago. *I feel so old* the story is basically about romance between the actor and actress and like “reply 1997”, we have to guess who is the husband of Na jeong, our lead actress. This is a rom com story so I guess I will be paying more attention to this one. Who doesn't like rom com? Ok fine, not everyone.

OK, so I guess I have to go back to reality and study now. Oh gosh, my laziness is killing me. 

lots of study to catch

Old stuff Younger self

Inspired by Santi's post about our old younger self, this one is for u. and Cyril too! (cyril read this and then click my nuff huh =D) This is us back in 2010 when we were young and free, very young.

Our first and last yakult. coz it tastes horrible.

now that i am reminded of my young self, one thing I can conclude is, gosh Cyril, u look thin. OMG! OK,kidding. but seriously. you are skinnier back then.

Ok, back to serious topic, back in 2010, mark the first year of our journey or should I say "adventure" here in IPG Ipoh. We were gullible, innocent, naïve and immature. All things seem new to us. That year also marked the first time we were away from our family, separated by land and sea for a certain period of time.  Meeting new friends, doing new things, adapting new environment was never my cup of tea. I’ve been in my comfort zone for too long that coping with new things seem a burden to me. I remember back then, I cried every night. My parents called me every day. I guess my parents were worried (and still is) because I was the first in my family to further studies far away from home and the fact that I am a girl myself make them worry more.  So I guess I was immature back then. VERY immature.

But I’m glad I was surrounded by nice people. I often heard about bullying happens in a new place, but I guess it didn't happen to me cause all my classmate are NICE people! (Even though the first two weeks was awkward and shit. So many people with different background and stuff, how am I supposed to cope with everything! But that was then.) And I’m glad I have two Sabahan friends who I regard as angel sent by God, one is you Santi because I know you since kindergarten, like forever and of course Cyril because he is just *Cyril.

*explanation for “Cyril” term = Someone who is willing to help others regardless of their difficulty. Someone who is raised as responsible person. Someone who is a good friend. Someone who is generous in terms of money aka BANK. 

lots of love

Learning styles, everyone has one.

What is learning styles? According to what I read (read study *cough*) from Edu PPG notes, 

learning styles refers to the psychological traits of students in processing, interpreting, collect information on knowledge and skills and in turn reacts with its environment.

 Nuff said.

I have friend who prefers to study on their own, others like to study in group, studying in a quiet and calm place and many others styles. You name it. I, for one, like to study while listening to music. I don’t remember who ask me this before “can you really study while listening music? Doesn't it distract you?” my answer, a simple “DON’T KNOW”. It’s a habit and old habits die hard you see.

I have this habit where every time I eat in my room (here in campus), it is a must to have something to watch, whether it is a movie or drama. Mostly, it’s a Korean drama though. I cannot eat without this thing accompany me. It’s the same at home. Now, I know, it’s a bad habit, but again old habits die hard bro.  

So back to the topic, I like to listen to music while studying, I just do. Even if it means distracting my study. But did you know that listening to music can actually help in your study. Hah! This is what I got from certain website, quote “English, Drama or Art students listen to emotive rock and pop music. ‘Songs like Katy Perry’s Firework and I Can’t Get No (Satisfaction) by The Rolling Stones produce a heightened state of excitement that is likely to enhance creative performance.” ah huh! who would ever thought that huh. 

But like I said, everyone has their own learning styles. If you are like me, who likes to listen to songs while studying, study when there's only one week before exam, watching movies and drama leisurely when you know you still haven’t cover almost ALL (ALL, like 90%) the topics for the exam, telling other people you want to study when in fact what you did is the opposite, download dramas and movies and TV series, sleeps more than you should be, don’t worry buddy, 

You Are Not Alone. High Five buds!   

exactly

Lots of studying need to be done,

Series of first time(s).

For the first time, I (with Santi and Cyril) went back to Sabah before Hari Raya. Last year, I went back to Sabah on the third day of Raya. It didn’t influence me much though since I’m not celebrating it. For the first time, I saw the airport full of people even though its 3 am. And most of the people were foreigners. It was amusing to see them queuing and the line was so freaking long. Luckily we didn’t have to wait long for our flight, so we don’t mind walking around the airport. (actually we were walking around to find a place to sit, but we didn’t manage to get any proper seats. The food court was full and all the chairs in the airport have been taken and the floor was full of people sleeping).

For the first time, I bought my own seat for Airasia flight. And turn out I was lucky because the whole row of my seat was empty. The seats at the back starting from row number 29 until 31 were all empty, except for my seat on 29A and another person in 30F. I even slept on the seats but it was too cold and a lot of turbulence going on so, hell, I cannot sleep at all. There were also lots of chit chat at the back between the steward and stewardess. Gosh, there were so noisy. I heard some Thai language. Amusing.

For the first time, the minute we step outside the arrival hall, we were in rush because the unser that will take us home was outside waiting for us. We usually have to wait for 30 minutes to 1 hour for the unser. For the first time, Santi and I beat Cyril. Wahaha. Achievement unlocked!

For the first time, I reached home without my siblings waiting for me. Ahaa, there were at school. I forgot that it was Friday. Achievement 2 unlocked!

And I think that’s it.

(This post was actually a delayed post because I wrote? typed this 2 weeks ago. Gosh, I’m so laaazyyy)  

lots of love

Rant on Korean drama: Noona-Dongsaeng relationship at its best

Just recently, new drama from SBS, “I Can Hear Your Voice” that aired every Wednesday and Thursday achieved its highest rating at 24.8%. That came out as no surprise cause I’ve been loyal to this drama since its pilot episode and have since hooked up with its storyline.  I started watching this drama because my cutie pie Lee Jong Suk (who had stared in School 2013) is the main role in this drama. Although he has been in the entertainment industry for quite some time, I started liking him in School 2013. I saw him in secret garden before, but his appearance doesn’t give much impact to the audience aka me. I’m so glad he finally found a drama that can fully utilise his acting skills. As for the main leads I initially doubt the pairing for the leading cast because they have big age difference. But Lee Bo Young is different and also she is known as the queen of rating. I guess that’s part of the reason why she is chosen for that role. Or maybe she is just the right person to play the role. The chemistry and lovey dovey moment between the leading actors is just what the audiences (me) want.

As a Korean drama hardcore fan, I’ve seen too many Noona Dongsaeng pairing before but this drama’s OTP have caught my attention so far. For example, the age differences between the main lead in some of the dramas i've watched, 

“The Moon Embracing The Sun = 6 years”,

“The King 2 Hearts = 9 years”,

“I do I do = 11 years”, 

“Faith = 10 years”, 

“7th Grade Civil Servant = 10 years” 

and of course they are many others. (The Moon Embracing The Sun is by far my Favourite but the fact that Han Ga In is married disturbs me, she could make a good couple with Kim Soo Hyun) I can say this drama has the best pairing of all Noona Dongsaeng dramas I’ve ever watched. Well, that’s my sole opinion of course. I love Yoon Eun Hye and Yoo Seung Ho in I Miss You but since they are not the OTP, well.. lets leave it that way. I love Joo Won in 7th Grade Civil Servant but his partner aka Choi Kang Hee is too old for him. Although I love CKH in Protect the boss, she is just not suitable for the role in 7th. Duh casting director, you make me hate that drama. =.=

Although in this drama, the 2 main leads have a huge 10 years age gap, I think they complement each other very well. They definitely can pull off this relationship. Now, Please have a happy ending.

As for now, the drama was extended from 16 to 18 episodes. I just hope the writer wouldn’t drag the storyline and add some unnecessary scenes just to make it up to 18 episodes. And of course we, the audiences want a happy ending, like please get married fast. No? Sorry lawyer Cha, I love Park Soo Haa. :D

Aren't they cute. :D

Yup, they meet again. Oska and the gay guy in Secret Garden. Ahaaa..=P

Uri main casts.

Yay!

Yay, my first post for June (and that shows how lazy I am to write)

I am now embarking a new life and a new semester for this year and I’m in sem  4 now! Yuhuu!  I just got my exam result today and it was okayy. The thing is, yesterday when the result came up, everyone got 4 pointer and above and my result is super good than what I expected. It turn out, it all came wrong. IPG makes a grave mistake by posting that result. Huh! My unofficial result makes me happy even though it’s for a while and my official result was okayy. At least I have some improvement. Yay for improvement!

Recently, our country has been invaded by this unwelcome haze. It was from Indonesia as a result to their open burning. My friends and I were discussing about this haze last night and we were thinking, doesn’t Indonesia know that this will lead to haze if they burn their forest in a big scale or they just want to make our life miserable? I don’t care about some burning happened in Indonesia, but please, even if they want to that, make sure that doesn’t affect our country. I have family here and it makes me angry if my family members are affected and become sick because of this haze. Furthermore, the haze is thickening day by day but fortunately it was raining and it somehow helps to clear the haze. Yay for clear air!

I am now officially broke. Ahaa, not that broke, I still have SOME money left. The thing is our claim money for the flight ticket has yet to come out and I desperately need that money because I need to buy flight ticket for this upcoming holiday in August. There are many offers for cheaper flight ticket right now and I don’t want to miss that. Some people are extremely lucky to have their parents to buy ticket for them. Some people are luckier to not have to buy flight ticket and can just go home whenever they want to. Yala, live near maktab what. Duhh. Our allowance is as usual will come out on July. IF and only IF it comes out on July. Who knows maybe our new director wants to troll us and refuse to sign the cheque for our allowance and drag it until August. Oh, then all die la. No money then eat biscuit and drink plain water la.

Oh, and I still hate this one lecturer for giving us shit - like not literally of course - every time she enters class. I still don’t want her to be our lecturer, not a chance! Ugh!

Btw, our new director strict wohh. Hate it.

How comforting this scenery is. gosh, I miss home.

Lots of love
