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,
