SALES
....is a word most girls cannot resist. I will walk like an arrow towards the store and bullshot! I'm amidst the throngs of women battling w each other to search for the rawest deals! haha and because of this, we quarrelled many times. Well, I KNOW I'm supposed to save money but you know sometimes my mind will be in this dilemma....
Right: You know you don't have much $ and you're still a student, and your tuition scholarship is not yet confirmed till Spring. Don't spend unnecessarily!
Evil: But this is a SALES! If I don't get it now, others will get it. And its so cheap! You can't get this quality elsewhere. Anw, I'll get 600,000KRW every mth. BUY!!BUY!!!BUY!! You'll need new clothes for the new season too right?
I ended up with 5 pieces in my hand. If not for his critisim, I think I would have bought ALL instead of only 2 =(
Is that why I spend SGD300+ in F21 Myungdong when my sisters came o.O
But you know what? I feel so happy after buying clothes. Arranging them on the already-exploding cupboard and thinking of different ways to match them is so fun. But the nore I bought, the more I realise I need to buy.
Eg: I have this blouse and realised I need a black shorts or skirt.
Never enough. Pls confiscate my debit card and give me monthly allowance ample for the basics.
I need financial discipline... Or rather financial aid will be better? haha.
ZARA SALES: 70%
F21: 50%
How can you resist?!!

Janice-Like Water
Korean-Philipines heritage Janice has a nice soprano voice. Her new album released 2009. I like the song- Like Water. As usual lyrics by Lin Xi. I miss canto pop and HK!!
Lab Renovation
Maybe they saw my blog and fear that I'd really sue them so the lab decided to undergo a new facelift! Yipee!
Mon 25th - Wed 27th
I don't have to attend lab! I AM AS HAPPY AS A LARK!
But I went to subculture my cells this morning and went to Seolleung to accompany Sharkie for lunch. He is so fortunate to have me as his gf! haha!!
So here I am blogging and updating my pictures. I realise I have yet to upload pics when my sisters came here to visit me. I must upload our triplets pictures. haha.
Alrighty, tonight's dinner will be with sharkie and lee hoon at guro digital complex. Haven been there but I assume the name speaks for itself.
I love no school days!
~ The quiet neighbourhood, the pastel blue skies and the cold wind that no longer sends a lonely chill down my spine instead brings back sweet memories and...the girl looking at serenity... ~

New Year Day
Happy New Year! Haha O-K. I know I have not been updating and its 15/01 now. haha but its still January! C'mon!
Rise and shine on New Year's day and off I went to the LABORATORY!! Purpose: Thaw cells. Can you imagine walking on slippery snow+ice roads on a NY day to the lab for experiments?
CHOY PEI YE in the past will NEVER do that. haha She leaves at 6pm SHARP. She comes at 10am. She goes for lunch breaks minimum 2hrs. She shops and slack at home during weekends. She is not that pro research being.
Now. Lab 930am. Home 8-9.30pm. Lunch breaks 30mins- 1hr. Sat lab for half-day.
My eye bags are as huge as teacups!! MAMA!!! Helpppppp!!! In a sense, I am glad that my life gets busier so time pass in a twinkle. I learn stuffs through these experiments too.
Ok. Back to NY day.
Sharkie is nice to accompany me back to the lab and we went to Vincent's new studio apartment to wreck havoc. Instead of havoc, he got nice cakes from Twosome place! haha I am nice afterall ok! I love Twosome place. They have nice cakes and hot chocolate!
We went for dinner which was western cuisine at VIPS. Not bad but will not go back specially for it. Afterwich, we proceed to COEX for movie- Into Greater Silence. German film award winner.
Totally out of the world. Blew me off to lala land. So annoyed (me and Vince) that we (sharkie had no choice though he CLAIMED tt he was enjoying tt movie) got out within 30mins. Its a PAIN to watch that speechless movie.
A bunch of Catholics monks living on a deserted mountain top leading a life of solitude and silence. No they are not mute. They are just so quiet ppl. Less than 3 sentences throughout tt almost an hr of viewing. haha and their action are so slow. OMG. U just have to youtube it to understand my anguish. I know this is an artistic film and I understand that the direction is trying to portray two very different lives though living on the same planet. How the busy hectic city ppl are alwys rushing ard and how incessant conversations can lead to either arguments or relations. How much are we missing from the nature or how we can't take a step slower to appreciate the nature around us. How we are constantly talking that we don't hear what others truely want to say.
Yes, I love nature. I love silence- only when I'm sleeping or studying. But
I just can't sit in a HEATED cinema (its winter) and watch the macro shots of raindrops, face of the monks, etc. With no dialogue. Even if they spoke, its in GERMAN with KOREAN subtitles.
Yes, you can whack me coz I chose this movie due to the usual kiasu singaporean mentality tt wah gt so many award surely v nice one. ><
So we went home cursing tt movie in my heart, ok maybe its just me. I wasted 10SGD. ^&*@
Haha Did you miss me? New Year Old me! Hair is getting on my nerves. I need Edward the scissorshand! I want my stylo punk style NOT girly demure. I dig my nose and I fart out loud. I'm not a lady.
Is this the reason we like each other? One is more isang than the next! FYI Its not Christmas! haha.
Prawns! Poached prawns tt makes me squeal w delight and my health crying in pain. I have a tad high cholesterol. Maybe I need more Mt Kinabalu?
Buffet for FREE when we ordered the main dish.
Char Siew beef. Its nice! I swear. Especially the fatty portion. Its jingle dang dang smooth down your throat!
Medium rare steak. Though I hope it is more rare. No blood. Sad >< I'm Cullen.
In SNU. On the way to Vincent's hse.
Smiling sharkie outside my building. I like the green pants. haha. We like vibrant colors!
Dirty right? No RA here to clean up. DIY. Count those PHD students back in my old work place LUCKY. They must treasure and don't take RAs for granted.
Its a no wonder that computer geek gets open-mouth shock when they see so many chemicals and lab stuffs.
My dingy workplace near the chemical hood. If anything happens to my health, this picture is the proof I'll use to sue them.
Room 202.
The path I walk everyday. From vivid autumn to white winter. Its a nice and refreshing feeling to see the leaves change from green to orange to red to yellow and slowly only the branch remains... Life is like that isn't it? Take a minute to slow down and appreciate those around you. Otherwise, they might be gone forever...
Sultan Kebap. Nice turkish food near sharkie's place. The owner recognise us. Why no service? Sigh...

Closure for 2009
I can only move ahead for the new year. I can't say I regret coming here. I can't say I wish to change lab and start afresh. I can only endure and look on the positive side. Ha! Sometimes I think my heck-care, happy-go-lucky attitude is a merit. Otherwise, I think I will give up and return to Spore like some foreign students whom cannot take the culture shock.
This is solely my feelings and thoughts. Respect it else close this page.
Lab and School
From feeling alienated to slowly adapting. From occasional homesick tears to enjoying a different life here. I can say I've come a long way and I'm proud of myself. I used to feel so bad when I'm asked to sweep, mop and wash pipet tips initially. I really had an urge to just pack up and leave- either to another lab or to KAIST or maybe home. I realise that they have a duty roster and seniors also have to do it. Greeting seniors and bowing and respecting all their hierarchical rules is hard for me initially. Lunch is a quiet 20 minutes with me and my rice. Conversation flew around the table but in Korean. Although occasional superficial questions like: ''Do you like today's food?'' You like kimchi?'' were asked but conversation stops with my answer being a yes or no. I felt isolated and left out. I remember those times when I could pick up a conversation easily and made many friends in my lab and from other labs. Many lines were stuck in my head but I can't project them out using Korean- fluently.
Exploding exhaustion.
However, I shld b glad that I'm not outcast and seniors still remember me and asked me out to lunch. Afterall, what more could I ask from them when I can't do much on my part?
I shld be contented, shouldn't I?
Thinking on the bright side, I have international friends from Jordan, Nepal, China and Thailand.
I learnt to treasure my friends and everything I've had more.
I wish to stop research work after I graduate and proceed to pharmacy MNCs and after a few yrs, I may just proceed to lecturing field. Or perform voluntary work.
I want to travel. A higher cert is my means to earn more in order to suffice my insatiable craving for travelling. I want to be able to dress up nicely and go shopping and have gossiping seesions with my girlfriends once work ends at 6pm. I want to be able to enjoy all my holidays and weekends with no cells screaming for me to feed them.
I'm not cut out for a researcher's life.
Relationships
'' Its good to be falling in love'' Ps: Note of the -ING. Just 3 letters but it makes a world's difference.
Sparks fly, everyday is Christmas, you can't wait to see the person even though you'd just met him an hour ago, hp bills soared, an sms makes your day, butterflies everytime you get to see him, no arguments, no expectations. Everything is perfect.
With status comes responsibilities and expectations.
How long can the -ING remains and where did the butterflies flew to?
Its like a roller coster ride just that this once, you hope it never ends....
I am lucky to have met someone who makes me happy and everyday worth looking forward to. I never dared to ride roller coster ride in my entire life even with much persuasion. But the number of coster rides I took on during the outing in Lotte world surpassed all those that I have had in 23yrs. I exceeded my 3 yrs quota and I HATE vikings!
I tried snowboarding and fell like shit with sprains and brusies all over. But, the thought of being able to board tgt gave me the encouragement. Though he was alwys impatient and will sternly told me to get off my arse and continue. Yes, he is a MEANY!
He likes to ski and ice skate. But I just can't learn ice skating. Tried but failed. I am frustrated with myself. But ice skating and roller blading are just my nemesis.
Someone whose pride is more than the lion's but when atop the mountain, he turns into a MOUSE. ^o^ I can't imagine if I have to carry him down if we ever go on a Himalayas expedition.
I'm glad we shared many similarities and yet differences too. I'll learn to be less petty to everyone around me and lower my expectations of others.
But somehow I just can't help it when the other party is not just a friend.
Relationships are fragile. Till now, I'm happy and contented. If I were to look back on this post any years down the road.... in tears, then I've learnt to love and be loved, memories to keep and Life continues...
My 2009 is indeed full of unexpected events and exciting. I love my life.
~ Happiness comes within me, don't put this responsibility upon others ~
The Last Post
for 2009!
Welcome 2010! I hope everything goes according to my plans & I'm glad as long as my family members are healthy and happy! =)
Can everything really start afresh just because of a numerical change in the date? Human character, relationship, decisions...
A fresh new start. It is psychologically pleasant.
New Year. Another day to celebrate, hang out with your friends and feel happy that you've come so far.
Clock ticks twelve. Booze sessions end slowly as dawn cracks.
2010-01-02.
Life continues to be the same. Back to the same experiment protocols, the same old me, the same school- home routine... The only difference: I get busier. ><
So! I have no special feelings towards 2010 except 2011! OH MY! If its 2011, I will be jumping with glee and shopping like mad in korea spending all my last bits of won and poking fun at korean bi****. I hope I can agitate one of those bimbos and use my long practise line in US-Black accent:
Hey ya bitch! Wadds up?!! Wadya wan huh!!! Fuck you!! (wahaha OMG since when am I so vulgar?!) Must be my fat sister.
Den they'll go prancing to their oppas in their 6 inch heels- wobbling.
Well... I am going to miss Korea's weather and my time over here...The freedom, the independence and the happiness...There'll be so much to look back on isn't it?
2009 Aug - 2009 Dec. 5 months.
My closure on 2009 will be on next post.
Yes, PY is a chatty brat. I just can't stop talking. Since I can't do it verbally, I shall put my words down.
