Fun times with my buddies!

I guess it’s safe to say that the chalet we had from Friday to Sunday (15/01-17/01) was a successful one! I enjoyed almost every moment of it.

Being classmates from secondary school, we’ve known each other for 7-8 years now- LY, MS, LE, KH, TT, DS and I. During secondary school days and other outings we’ve had previously, we often face crisis of being indecisive on the things to do for the day. So we (some of us) had some worries as to how the chalet would turn out to be…

I thought that it would probably flop since we hadn’t decide what to do for majority of the time in chalet besides BBQing.

Turns out, we didn’t really do much typical chalet things like going to Escape, WWW, cycling, skating, etc, but we still had lots of fun. I’m not going to go into details of the chalet because if I do, this post will be a super long one…

Just know that throughout the 2 and a half days, we had lots of fun!

We had BBQ, played games throughout the 1st night (only sleeping at 7am), went to Party World KTV on the 2nd day, watched movies on the 2nd night and then went to have roti prata for breakfast on the 3rd day.

The activities might not seem fantastic, but all of us had fun because we were totally into each of them. Since we’ve known each other for so long and having sucha gathering is not easy, we just let loose! The little little occurrences that happened during these days were funny and memorable…

I hope we can do this again in the future! :D

P.S. Sorry couldn’t go into details of the chalet because there’re too many things to blog about! Maybe I’ll do so after my Taiwan trip…

No Bong Bong

Oh my gawwwd.

Today KH and I made a trip down to Chinatown just to exercise and eat burger king. =_=”

We wanted to go to a Korean KTV called Bong Bong Noraebang. FYI, noraebang means karaoke in Korean (it literally means ‘song room’). After walking and searching for Chinatown plaza for I don’t know how long under the sun, we finally found the rundown building where the noraebang was located in. When we went in, the number of people inside is less than the fingers we have on one hand. Not surprisingly since none of the shops/KTV was open!!

And that includes Bong Bong Noraebang!! D:

I was sooooo soooo disappointed. Then KH told me these kind of KTVs usually only open in the evening. SIANZ!! (Only then he start telling me… =.=”)

After that, we walked a few rounds, some looong distance before we settled down for lunch in burger king. I don’t want to type so long and describe how we were lost in Chinatown, walking here and there, searching for Pearl Centre just because it was the only air-conditioned place around the area. In short, it was a long, tiring, torturous, dehydrated and sweaty walk around Chinatown. X|

We chilled in Burger King for sometime, even practising some Korean which is when I realised I need to start revising my Korean! Meh. I can’t even remember some simple words. Oh and if you want to know how dehydrated I was, I drank two cups of regular ice lemon tea which actually was not enough but I didn’t want to buy anymore drinks.

In the end, I went to KH’s place to get some videos from him and see his SNSD (少女时代/ 소녀시대) collection. SNSD is a girl group from SME (same company as DBSK). Obviously KH has turned into a fanboy. Yay! Join the club! :P

Anyways we just watched some Kpop vids here and there, sang some Kpop songs as well. I realised I transferred more vids to him than him to me because his vids are all in mp4!! =.=”

Think I’m starting to write a complaint blog entry… HAHA. :P

Kpop in SG sure is growing in popularity. Some people whom I won’t even guess that may get hooked onto Kpop are fans of some korean groups…

What a difference from 3 years ago. ^^

Holmes

Met up with LL yesterday for movie and shopping sessions, two typical things we always do when we meet up. Not that I’m complaining since it’s arguably some of our favourite past-times.

From the blog title and picture above, it’s easy to guess the movie we watched was “Sherlock Holmes”. I’ve never been really curious about this world-famous fictional character even though it’s been depicted in so many cartoons, novels, movies and so on. I only know him as a great detective who is able to solve some of the most bizarre mystery cases handed to him. That’s it. The things about Dr Watson and Adler are just fuzzy to me.

Because my knowledge of Holmes is as shallow as a puddle on a road, watching this movie made me realized why this man is no ordinary detective and why he is such a famous fictional character. His intellectual abilities and observation skills are beyond human-like!

Great storyline, effects, action and humour. Awesome awesome movie! Definitely a must-watch.

Although last night I was super upset over the fact that Changmin went to Brissie for his drama-filming, I was, at the same time, over the moon when I checked my UQ email.

I discovered that I made it to the Dean’s list for my BArts! People who achieved very high GPA will be put on the Dean’s list and I guess are considered to be one of the top in the course? XP

OH MY GOD. I CANNOT ABSOLUTELY BELIEVE THIS.

SHIM CHANG MIN, MY FAVOURITE MEMBER IN MY NO.1 FAVOURITE GROUP, IS IN BRISBANE.

B R I S B A N E, A U S T R A L I A.

NOT SYDNEY, NOT MELBOURNE, NOT PERTH, NOT ANYWHERE ELSE BUT BRISBANE.

DAAAAAMN IT!!!

WHY ME?! WHY ME?! T-T

I knew it. All along I had this gut feeling the filming of Changmin’s drama may take place in Gold Coast. Gold Coast is known to have one of the most beautiful beaches in Aus and there’s the great barrier reef and the theme parks too. Such typical scenes in Korean dramas…

The news of CM heading to Aus was released in Nov 09. My friend told me about it and I really really predicted that he may go to QLD. It was said the filming would take place at the end of Nov. BUT NO… IT TOOK PLACE THIS YEAR, JAN, WHEN I AM IN FREAKING SG.

WHY?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If he were to be in other parts of Aus, I would not feel so horrible. I am SO UPSET and ANGRY at the same time. I could have meet him… see him in person… stalk him without bodyguards… T-T

SAAAAAD!!!!! REALLY SAAAD!!!!!!
