When Your Response Is A Standard - "I Am Okay"

People can be really mean sometimes. Without realising it.

"Don't trust people."

Maybe that would be easier.

When You Love Someone, You Make Room

Love Someone - Lukas Graham

If you love someone
And you're not afraid to lose 'em
You probably never loved someone like I do

Awww.. That said.

My right palm is so sore from bowling today. I hope it doesn't give me issues tomorrow because it's gonna be a crazy-roller-coaster-ride work week ahead. My motivation to get through it?

When checking bank account month end.

And watching Please Take Care of My Refrigerator makes me wanna date a chef.

Hey. A girl can hope!

Let's Eat Series Inspired: Seoul Shiok Noms

I finally dragged my butt to Seoul Shiok at Sengkang Square after having read about it a couple of times. And because I'm moving out of the neighbourhood soon, so it was a now-or-never sorta thing.

Also, I confess I've spent much of my downtime lately watching the second season of Let's Eat which stars my crush - Yoon Doojoon, who has just enlisted (sobs!) and my female crush, actress Seo Hyun Jin!

All the show has done for me was increase my cravings for all food Korean, and ignite my hopes that kdrama can become my reality. ROFL.

A snippet from the series, don't say I didn't warn you.

A girl can dream.

Back to Seoul Shiok, there wasn't a queue of humans per say, but I suppose as food delivery services is all the trend now, I waited for about 15mins, behind 2 delivery guys who had truckload of orders, before I could even place mine. Good thing I wasn't hungry.

Food was ready in about 10mins or so, so that was sweet. I'm not one to be fussy about my dining environment, so the non-aircond open air foodcourt didn't bother me, though I suspect it would be a concern for some.

Sidenote, Kopitiam kopi is the best, and at only $1.50 to boot. I sometimes wonder why we spend so much on premium coffee. (-__-)"

Soy Bean Paste stew, $4.90 and Fried Chicken Wings, $3.90 (for 2 pieces)

The stew was yums, though it was on the salty side. I have a preference for saltier food so it was just nice for me, no complains there. Mushroom, tofu, onions made up the main ingredients, and some slices of pork, that was what I could tell. The rice was nicely cooked too.

I went for the sweet soy fried chicken, and maybe perhaps.. no, I was too greedy. By the time I got to the chicken, I was pretty stuffed, but let's just say that I've tasted much better fried chicken wings.

All in all, my meal set me back by $8.80, not too shabby a price to pay for a Korean meal I suppose.

And in true Gu Dae-young fashion, here's what's left of my meal! :)

Happy tummy!

Just Stay

Just Stay - HYOLYN; 서른이지만 열일곱입니다 OST Part.2

I managed a run after work, super proud of myself.

Thought today: When I started this new job, I was delighted that I could carry a handbag instead of a backpack, all day, everyday. But today I decided to carry my trusty Herschel and I instantly fell (back) in love with the convenience of a backpack.

Familiarity breeds comfort.

Flower Way

Sejeong - Flower Way

I love, love, love this song.

Also, there is this one drama that I am completely addicted to right now - Temperature of Love.

When life throws you tricky questions, how do you respond?

I didn't quite follow the Goblin, but the OST is on my Spotify.

MY TEACHER TOLD US TO WATCH MORE DRAMAS!

I've been absent for a long while now.. Life has been full of ups and downs, chaos and moments of clarity.

For the most of it, now I am back on track (I hope), and am writing this on Notepad (which I will later just Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V into Blogger) because I am not connected to the Internet at home. This has been a running issue with wifi at home but I've managed somehow. At least it's preventing me from watching an episode of Kim Woo Bin / Shin Joon Young being an absolute idiot and wanting to shake some sense into him - definitely, he has better options than to break a girls heart that way.

Hur.

I am too full to go and shower, too full to do my #22dayspushupchallenge, so I am just gonna sit here and stare at my screen and just type what comes to mind.

I've been incredibly hungry at hourly intervals lately. Like, seriously hungry. And it's not that I've not been eating well - I eat well. But I just keep getting hungry. Yesterday I had dinner at 7pm and by the time I got home, around 10pm, I was crazy hungry and all because I conveniently have Snickers bars leftover from my 7-11 haul from Samui back in May, I ended eating a whole bar before I crashed out.

But the silver lining is, I don't seem to be putting on any more weight than normal. Metabolism in high gear? I sure hope so!

I went for a Groupon facial on my off day and the beautician said if I made it to the Olympics, I'd be on the "Who is that pretty girl?" list that people will talk about. So flattered. I'd take compliments like a lady when I am given some.

OH YAY! Dropbox is synced which means I am connected now! I'm gonna try to stream an episode of drama now while my dinner digests and then I'll do my 22 push ups and shower and study my Korean.

MY TEACHER TOLD US TO WATCH MORE DRAMAS!

P/s: Well, he also told us to do our homework.

Gah dang it, connection is so weak. I'm back here again.

Now I'm thinking if I should make myself a cup of coffee and just let that help my food digest. Maybe I should. But coffee was gonna be for after shower so that I can concentrate and get some revision done!

One Two, On Your Marks, Get Set Go

Has been a while since I last had leftover chalk stains on my fingernails. Feels good!

I've got a presentation to prep for. And nooo, it already way past bedtime.

I can't get enough of the triplets on youtube. And Daehanie now wears glasses, poor thing at such a young age but he's totally adorbs! /squeal

Also fan-girling over Sassy Go Go. Love love Jung Eun Ji in her roles. Sassy, is the word. Doesn't hurt one bit at all that her co-star is the cutest thing ever. Let me correct that, her co-stars are the cutest things ever.

I told a white lie today. I'm sorry.

I recently learnt that Lucky Laundrette in Lucky Gardens charges a minimum of RM9, although they'll tell you that 1kg worth of dirty laundry is RM3.50. So, if you do the Math, you should just ensure that you've got at least 3kg's worth of smelly clothing before you bring them over for wash.

I'm back to being in my perpetually hungry state. I wish my stomach would just digest all the excess fats it has stored for a rainy day. Because we don't have rainy days, we only have hazy ones.

I'm funny! Goodnight world! x

Love 911 - NOEL

Who doesn't love a feisty girl? And abs. Fast becoming a fan of NOEL.

Sweet, simple and cute. xx

By Far, My Most Favourite On Screen Couple

All For You - Seo Inguk & Eunji (Reply 1997 OST)

x

Have you ever needed to sneeze when you've got a mouthful of coffee / food? I've had that. Twice in the recent two days. Once I was at the sink, so that wasn't a big deal. The second time, I was in front of my lappie, so I had to somehow 'hold in' my sneeze. The sensation, not so cool. 

That aside, they say when you sneeze, someone's missing you. So who's that, fess up! Or just stop missing me when I've got beverage in my mouth please pretty please thanks.

What really matters? What? Being a good person does. And being happy. 

You??

1084 Days Later

Even the people whom we think are not capable of feeling any pain, they too, hurt in ways we do not understand.

Trap - 스윙스 & 유성은

On days like this, when I am not sure what the future holds, I find myself wondering if things may be different if past decisions were made differently. Or perhaps, if people were kinder to one another, would the lives of those who matter, be better? Or can we just say, everyone did their best, and no one could predict such an outcome. But there has to be a reason. Isn't it?

Life's big mystery aside..

It's finally time to bid farewell to the workplace I've come to love, despite the occasional "I hate my job" rants. I've learnt much, but I think the biggest takeaway would be in the friends I've made - they're the best you can ask for. I am now genuinely afraid that I won't be able to find friends of the same kind at my new place (wherever that may be). But for the better or worse, these guys have taught me to be a better person. So hopefully, wherever I end up next, I'll be able to bring out the best in them too. Just like how this bunch has done for me.

2 years, 11 months, 18 days later, it's time to say Sayonara! xx

In Theory

Don't Crack Under Pressure - Tag Heuer

Uniqlo is fast becoming my favourite go to attire. I know I am a bit late, only now am I jumping onto their bandwagon but whatever. However, I do believe that you should always wait till they put out your favourites on sale before purchasing them.

For instance, I particularly like their ankle length leggings pants. Simply because the length is just right for me. Ha. The first time I bought it, it was the original price. Couple of days ago, I saw that it was on sales, and it was RM20 cheaper than when I bought my first pair.

And I guess Uniqlo's designs are so basic that they'll go with just about anything.

Think I'll watch re-runs of the Reply series tonight and tomorrow.

Reply 1997

Teehee. Adorbs. Much.

Coded

There's something called balance, just right. Too loud and it's noise, too soft and you can't hear. Peeved. Can't say you didn't see it coming. I would really like to know what are you thinking. 我喜欢自己的空间。 Do I even exist there? What happened to us? I miss you. There's no law saying I can't. I do. I must really like Bastille. Of the night. I do. I really do. 你就不能让我吗? Heck it. Hurts. Them legs. More than that. What's what. What's what. Mozzie RAWR stop biting me. 烦。I wish I were more in control of my own emotions.

Secret - 윤성기

Because we all have secrets.

Won't you teach me how to love and learn. Won't you?

Same Same But Different

Today, I am amazed at how people all turned out different, but yet are still the same. People who, are not who I thought they would be. That's why it's said, to never judge. People who ended up with each other despite all the odds. And are happy. And will be.

Love love love. How can you not.

When life throws you opportunities, but too many at a time, what do you do?

Studying, Konon

I cannot wait for my lappie to arrive from the States.

Jeng jeng jeng. I have decided. To buy my own pair of Ipanema.
But I welcome feedback as to which pair I should get.
