Happy Ch'usok!

On Saturday, after work in the morning,
we went over to the Senior Police Officers Mess at some ulu place.
Sayang had a one night chalet that her family rented to celebrate the Autumn Harvest Festival. And she invited some of us GC seniors over. We also wanted to celebrate Zuyi's bdae.
So there was me, her, Kenneth, Zuyi, Jian Hui and Kelvin.
Ooo the food was nice and i ate till i was stuffed (espesh the corn cob and prawns).
Julian came over late at around 12 plus from town (went to watch some Arsenal soccer match with friends).
But the best part was that we invited Su A oni over!
She refused Sayang's offer via sms. But earlier that day we came over to her workplace and tried to make her change her mind..
After much persuasion and repeating the words, "Must come! Must come!" and "Ok?! Ok?!" countless times, coupled with the nodding of heads- she finally gave in.

We fetched her from Novena Square and went straight to the karaoke place in the SPOM chalet. Not much selection of songs but i was really feeling the 'My Heart Will Go On' and 'This Love' by Maroon 5. HAHA
And i'm proud to say that my Sayang can sing really well! Espesh mandarin songs. Tho when she gets bored with the song she will sing in high pitch and low pitch for fun. Then we'll have to press the Skip! button ;P

Anyways, the time spent with oni was nice. We learnt more Korean words and we got to know more abt her. She's really (hmm i dunno how to say this..) gracious? Polite? Like when i ask her if she wants to get the fried rice she can just scoop some for herself. And she was like asking if i wanted some too.. (I was still full then.) And like almost everything she ate she asked if i wanted some too. (except the 'tweji' = pork) HEHE :D

Once we poured this cup of apple juice and put in some ice chunks for her and
she was like, 'Su! You dont have a drink. Take this.. I'll go get another..'
I was like 'Eh? No no its for you!'
But she was up and halfway across the room getting to the ice box by then.
Heh.
That's graciousness for you.
Wow i wonder if all Koreans are like that.

Anyways did you know that the Koreans celebrate Autumn Festival on the same day as the Chinese do? Its called Ch'usok. And they make rice cakes instead of mooncakes.
Having tried the rice cakes that she bought for us, i still prefer our version with the snow skin and egg yolk. YUMMY~

Really hope we can spend more time together before oni has to leave. In around 5 months time..
GAHH. And she really wants to go to Sentosa~
Let's go on a trip!
