Okie.. so I came up with a bright idea to make up for the fact that I haven't been blogging for about 2 weeks.. horrors~! It all comes down to a matter of laziness.. procrastination, being too tired after gg out.. etcetc. *heh* Anyway.. they are all not in chronological order... for the simple fact that I can't quite recall what happened before what..=) haha. First up.. my poor leg...
It's bandaged liao.. but i forgot to take a pic of the gruesome mess.. it was a case of my bicycle didn't open its eyes and missed the kerb.=(
Super cute n docile doggy that wandered into geoffrey's studio during studio... everyone was fascinated..
Another Heyri pic.. with one of the many characters of Dalki Park.
Our "Pre-Mooncake Festival" Festival.. kudos to sc's mom who provided the lanterns, candles and mooncakes...=)
Part of the gang... see how everyone is holding their lanterns near to their face so that our faces can be seen? haha.. ingenious right..
Happy Birthday Tu Di Gong!!!
Time now is 1:43am... 时晨已过。。。哈哈哈。
Today went to Heyri Art Valley... super cool~! the houses there although we were saying a bit similar in that many use fairfaced concrete... but still very nice.. the whole atmosphere etc... the day started off with a hitch... in that seung hwan called to say his brother took the car.. so we were at a loss.. but luckily he managed to borrow his mom's car... so 5 of us... him, his friend ji eun, jem, me and prime made our way to Heyri.. on the way we drove along Hangang... and saw a bit of the Re-unification Tower... We took a lot of silly pics there... photo op galore man... heh.. HOpefully I can manage to get Prof Shin to bring us to Heyri and Paju Book City... den shiok liao...
"Measuring" Height...=)
Back to the main event... geoff's birthday is 17th Sept... so we thot we should do something when clock strikes 12 midnight.. haaha. so jeremy bought baek se ju... and i bought cheesecake... (haha.. i totally forgot that geoff is lactose intolerant!! sorry sorry!) but we'll make it up to you tomorrow night la.=) Then belle and I went to family mart to buy bbq chicken.. to represent university chicken... haahaa. smelled so nice when we were waiting for the guys to come down...
After celebrated tu di gong's bdae in style... with circus performances by cy.. using foot as phone... ed the 179 deg kicker... sc the varying pitch screamer... mica the stand and use foot as phone performer... tada~ presenting the new circus act of HYU. wahhaaa. Went on to gossip a bit with the girls.. but sc and ed were too high... on i have no idea what.. haaa. but yf and belle chased them out of the room.. heh. Now finished uploading pics... happily sorting!! lalala~ Tomorrow is D-day man.. presentation prep and 3D site collage... gotta go sleep now.. tata~ XXX
Missing a few people... but our tu di gong there can liao.~ haha.
Early in the morning~
It's about 630 in the morning... and my bio clock is haywire... must have been the coffee at 1am.. had general structure presentation yesterday.. and it didn't go as badly as I expected... I guess it's the singaporean mentality... even tho we're s/u-ing all our modules... we still can't totally slack etc? It's a good thing and a bad thing at the same time... cos taking 6 mods seems to be getting to me.. and asian aki hasn't started...
Then I went back to sleep at 10pm to like 1am.. and now i think i'm screwed for the rest of the day..=( Don't care must sleep early tomorrow man.. cos Heyri Art Valley is for Saturday!! woohoo~~.. seunghwan's really nice.. I really didn't expect him to ask again after it was cancelled cos of rain the last time... so I was pleasantly surprised when he msged again asking if we were free to go...
We went to namdaemun and dongdaemun on wednesday for site study on wednesday... ended up killing 2 birds with 1 stone by shopping along the way... the guys are really "sun3 you2" bad bad friends...! I spent money again... =( But now I have funky shades... and a oh-so-nice jacket... and a shawl that won't fall off my shoulders..=) so yes.. I'll resist going to lotte mart and family mart for a while then..=) maybe that'll help a little...
I finally finished the update thingy that prof shin suggested i send to nus.. hopefully it makes for interesting reading for jasmine... cc-ed to prof shin too.. hope he don't thinks we spent our entire internship playing.. heh.. tho' it's quite true... *hides*
gg to catch a little shut eye now.. lalala~ i'm so going to die later..=(
Sometimes we just have to accept it~
This week doesn't look like a good week after all... Sunday evening was a bang tho'.. we went for the ballet that Prof Shin invited us to... I still can't believe that the tickets were 100,000W... It's called "Green Dance" and it was at Seong Nam Arts Centre @Imae station... and some of the group dances were quite magical...
The weather during the weekend was superr cold... like about 15 degs.. and the wind was blasting... so very grateful that woojung offered to drive us back to school... =P We stopped by to have a fried chicken dinner with some others who went for the ballet... and everyone ended up a bit high... haaa.. and cy's impromptu boyfriend part was so hilarious.. but I highly doubt that they'll remember what happened the next day... *guffaws*
But on monday we had our first presentation.. and i seriously didn't know what was going on... after that prof han told us our tasks for next week.. and it simply sounds bad...=( And there's general structure presentation and CM presentation... and readings! sigh. Things are not helping that I'm always finding myself out of the loop... I'm not asking to know about every single thing that goes on... it's just that given our friendship... I would have expected to hear about it just like other people. But perhaps it's just this way... sometimes we get so happy that we don't realise how people are feeling around us... I have to admit I'm guilty of that before... but guess will 注意 more from now on... I'll try not to make other people feel like this too.
But whatever now.. I'll try to psycho myself to think that it's no big deal... next week wednesday amanda and sh are suggesting that we go to carribean bay and everland.. cos the combo ticket is about 25,000W which is not cheap but very worth it... I'm not sure if I'll have studio.. cos prof han will be in states on monday so we might have makeup studio on that day...=(
It's almost 2pm now... Korean class is at 3pm... I'll try to study a little now.. and hope that perhaps good things will come my way for a change... That really doesn't sound very good... I donno how else to express it... but it's just a bit bleagh now~
CT people... I really miss u guys! Joleen... don't worry...! other chances will come along... each time it'll be an added experience.. you go girl! and clare.. you're leaving in 6 days' time!! excited?? grin... early wishes for you... all the best, and you'll do just fine... everyone here believes in you!
Nasi Briyani and Paratha~
Today.. or rather monday... was studio day. Prof Han came at about lunchtime.. if I knew I would have slept longer.. grinz~
as I expected.. we're having some problems with the light sculpture workshop.. manz.. I really hate working with light.. especially natural light...=( The weather isn't cooperating either.. there is no sunshine!!! it's all cloudy!! and it's cold!! haaahaa. and the lake's fountain keeps spewing dirty water at us... phooeey.
We decided to meet tomorrow at 7pm... with sketch models.. it's about 330am now.. I wonder if i will wake up with enough time to do work.. *winks* But Namdaemun site analysis isn't done yet... so yikes.. we got a problem... things are piling up... update and reflections to send to jasmine... settle bicycle stuff.. settle western aki presentation stuff.. readings for const. mgmt.. meet const. mgmt proj grp.. blah blah blah. Sounds a bit bad right? but life is still a-ok here... like hyoung jae says.. he hopes korea will become our 2nd home.. I think it already is... ~
going back to studio.. we nua-ed for quite some time... but I was really stuck for ideas... I really donno if the water balloons thing will have the light effect that we are looking for... and is that considered a installation or a sculpture? I have no idea... sigh.. interim is on wed.. must show prof woo.. *faints*
anyway.. the highlight of the day was of course the title of this post... WAHHAAA. Prof Han is fantastic... he brought us to the area called the international market.. for the fact that many ethnic groups gather here... it's like a mini UN... and the winner was when we saw and smelled CURRY. as in INDIAN CURRY. not japanese curry etcetc. the spices!! ooh. the colour!! ooh. and even the indian perfumey smell that i dont like. also ooh. haa. prof asked me if it smelled of home.. haaha.
altho the food took like forever to come... the briyani was simply worth it... omgomg omg. of cos it's not like the one daddy buys for me in singapore... but to taste authentic indian food in like 2 months was really great. and there was a soybean shop next to the indian shop... and jl, jem, ernie and I went slightly bonkers over the smell of 'dou jiang' haa. I think ernie started hallucinating...
The koreans seemed to like the food alright... the "paratha" I suspect is simply chepati la.. especially since they used the breadroller thingy to flatten it.. reminds me of the stuff we ate in Penang before going to Kekloksi..
sc's mama, sis and ah ma are coming over to korea for her birthday... that's so great of her dad man... grin.. she was like jumping like the madhatter just now la..=) and her mama's helping me bring some clothes and stuff over.. thanks sc!! thanks auntie!! at least now I don't need warm clothes urgently.. heh.=P
Quite a good start of the week.. and looks to get better from tomorrow on..=P cheers~
