majimak insa; the last farewell: update smupdate!

inspiration comes and goes. that's all i have to say abt that.

..
ahh my first seven days of annual leave is finally over. i'm glad i've managed to put it in good use :) especially celebrating sayang's bdae!
thank god i was off on that day~
great thing was i managed to go out rayaing with the Fallen Harbingers!

hmm where shld i start?
mayb i shld start backwards cuz way too much happened the last week.

..
tuesday i woke up late and met Hailwa for lunch (nasi pattaya @ FarEast) and White Choc Mocha (me) & Choc Cream Chip (her) at Starbucks after. i came a bit late so it was my fault that i didnt manage to watch more of her SuperJunior Super Show DVD. Heh imagine us girls huddled in the warm cozy corner, with a laptop on our laps; sipping our cool drinks while squealing at our idol's antics!
I told her straight tt i felt sad cuz i felt like i was moving away from SuJu after i found a new love (BB). But that was what i honestly felt. And to think i hated that one time when she chose Yunho over Junsu, when was the first person she liked in DBSK (i have always found Yunho to be a bit stuck up).
Sad thing is these 2 girls (her & sayang) are so headstrong that they refuse to accept Big Bang into their hearts when i cld accept their loves (Shinee & Kim Jong Kook).

it came across to me that i'm mayb just too 'OPEN'. too open to possibilities and new things. a friend once said that i could love just about anything- anything would be okay for me to like /accept. well just ask my friends! i'm always up for a movie, a CS session or a just a quick dinner date- provided i'm off of work. that is actually a good thing right?
and its dead obvious that i've fallen head over heels in love with this current obsession.
hangul aka korean. i've fallen into its trap and its so hard to get over it! i've never been in love with a language before ;)

reading and writing korean is cool!

..
eighteenth Nov was Sayang's 20th birthday. I made her a bdae card with korean writing's in front saying ' Seng-il Chukaeyo! & a mini t shirt of cookie monster inside (since tt was the first Sesame Street character she got from us and also a pun from her kor idol- Kim Jong Kook aka Kookie)
gahh you know the feeling you get when you try to go shopping for a gift and you just cant come up with one that's worth giving to the person? well to me it feels more special to spend the time to make a card which is more personalised. and those materials dont come cheap too. i always spend like $70 plus one shot everytime i visit the shop.

we decided to try our luck at Alps Cafe (directly opp Paradiz Center). A new cafe recommended by her cousin. Bad thing was the food was a tad too expensive. The place had more variety of booze so i was practically more of a bar than a restaurant. But my seafood linguine marinara was SUPERB! and i was so happy that our korean oni(s), Su A and her Korean friend (Christine) was able to make it. The place had a karaoke machine so it was great that my karaoke junkie sayang was able to sing a few songs that night. christine oni was veh outgoing and even sang 2 kor songs for us. In the middle of the first song she wished sayang a Happy Bdae and even exclaimed, 'I love Singapore!!' to which we all burst out laughing. the 2nd song she sang was a surprise. it was KJK's Sarangsurowo (Lovely)! hahah! It was fun trying to sing along and watching the MV with Kookie dancing his funny dance while trying to look all cute in his manly way.
hard to explain so just watch it for urself (:

one thing i learnt from our meet up was that koreans are always so gracious! i wrote before in a blogpost abt Su A oni giving her cup of apple juice that we poured for her to me just because i didnt have one. well when their pizza came, without a word they just placed a slice on our plates and asked us to eat. so when our dishes came, we placed it in the center of the table and invited them to share. i guess its like a korean tradition to share food at restaurants and not have a plate all by yourself. maybe i guess that's why korean dishes are like rice mixed with their special sauce and meat and vegetable all in one bowl for everyone to eat. that and the yummy yummy side dishes(:
tho i secretly felt like cleaning my ohsoyummy plate of seafood marinara by myself (hahah selfish much?). anyways the girls are so cute in their own ways! when i offered christine my food, she took a bite and like drew a sharp breath in. i was momentarily shocked as i had not taste my food yet. since i was being gracious i asked her to try the food first. when her reaction was like that, i thot it was bcuz there was something wrong with the food. but she smiled wide and said 'Ahh! Bashi'da!' with her eyes wide in genuine awe. tt means 'Ahh! Delicious!' Su A oni tried it too and it got the very same reaction. i sldnt help but smile seeing them act so alike (:

its heart breaking tho to think back that Su A oni only has like 5 months or lesser before she has to leave sunny SG and go back home. Christine has to go back only 6 mths aft Su A leaves. I really wish we cld plan a really great day out with them before they leave. Sayang, we have to work hard for it yea?

..
finance has been a bit tight lately but i've been spending it so freely and i hate tt.
firstly for my imported CDs and other stuff, then for my scrapbooking materials and for that occasional concert tickets. dad confronted me one day abt my money situation and made me open my eyes. mostly he talked abt saving up the money for studies. i'd love continue studying! overseas or local i wouldnt mind actually. so from now on i'll have to work extra hard to make my money stay in the bank;

but sometimes- it feels impossible.

..
raya with FH was crazy banget!
superbly fun~
