The Big Move! Not a good thing...

Hi everyone! I missed you ^^

Well, it's been a tiring day today, but let's get started on my day yesterday!

Friday, 10 August 2012

I slept pretty well and woke up at a comfortable time. Since it is going to be my last day in Frontier (and KU >.<), we had to pack our stuff into our luggages. CaiLi woke up earlier so she packed it earlier, and also because she had to go post stuff back home. 

I also packed, and tried to utilize as much of the space in my luggage as possible. 

While other people had a good time, I had a lot of shift because there was no way of parcelling anything!

I ate my last Shin Ramyeon for lunch, while I let CaiLi have one of my remaining cafeteria meals.

I brought CaiLi to the KU ice rink today. We are still paying student price! :D

So we got ready. I taught her how to put on the skates.

Skating was alright until after they evened out the ice. It was slippery, CaiLi fell, and then I fell.

I fell on my chin and had a nasty injury, which ended up being...

Everything is well now, don't worry. It is on its way to recovery! 

After that we went back to rearrange stuff, then left again to go meet 동한 to pass him his gifts. He lost his phone yesterday, and eventually found it~ Congrats, 동한! Well, we had Yoogane for dinner.

The good thing is that although there were some language barrier, we could still get our points across as we were understanding with each other. We used paper and whatnots to talk. My Korean is still not good enough to listen to 동한 talk in Korean! I do catch some familiar phrases though.

It was a sumptuous dinner, and 동한 paid for it again~ 동한 씨~ 감사합니다! 잘 먹었습니다!

Oh yea, during dinner, we met Shireen and gang outside of Yoogane! They waved through the window and I immediately smiled because I get to see them again before they fly off! They however, spotted the plaster on my chin and asked me what happened, so I explained to them...

By typing messages on notepad and placing the phone screen on the glass panels...For them to read! Haha~

After yoogane, we went to have patbingsu... But on our way there, we met Farah! Such a coincidence coz Farah's buddy is also Dong Han! So we had a little buddy outing going on there...ㅋㅋ
We went to Caffe Bene~

And omg, we saw a familiar face there. I don't know her name, but I see her face everywhere I go. It's pretty freaky coz wherever I go, I see her! >.< Is she omnipresent or what?!

The patbingsu went well~

Green Tea bingsu = 녹차 빙수 (nok cha bing su)

=p

We then went back after chatting for awhile. That concludes the activites for the day.

Saturday, 11 August 2012
It's the day of the big move. I woke up on time, I guess, and after washing up, packed all my things where they should be.

I finished packing early. CaiLi went and got me breakfast ^^

Took my medicines.

And at 10.45am, I went out to return my card, and requested the security guard uncle to help me call a cab. Taxi driver was shocked at the amount of things I had. =x

We drove to Hongdae, and couldn't find the hostel! So I called HEY Backpackers and got them to guide Mr. Driver. We got there after a couple of wrong turns...

You know, Mr. HEY told me that my Triple ensuite reservation has been cancelled because I didn't reply the confirmation email. I checked my inbox and didn't find any emails from them -,-

So I spent the afternoon looking for accommodation. And thank goodness, I managed to find one near Sinchon. I hope it's better over there though. This place has no air con, and I'm in for a rough night.
I've also been placed in a 4-bed dorm.... WITH 3 GUYS in it. WTH?

But they went to sleep earlier than me, while I'm typing this. So, yeah, should be alright. They seem to be friendly too. Friendly enough.

So after finding accommodation, I went out to grab some lunch. Had noodles with anchovy soup. Pretty delicious. I walked around a little bit more before making my way to Hongik University Station to wait for my awesome Jacq and Kangwei.

They were late, but they came with a box... with a cake in it. And they said, 'HAPPY BIRTHDAY CASS!'

They even lit the candle at the subway station and sang the birthday song for me... Well, it's exactly one month before my birthday...But since Jacq and KW had to go home tomorrow, they celebrated it early for me. I am so touched!!

After that Jacq and Kw wanted to have lunch so I recommended Mr. Pizza to them. They ordered a LARGE Crabmeat pizza... And they loved it! ^^
I'm glad I recommended something right!

We walked around and bought accessories...

On our way, Kangwei suddenly saw this little car with 4 girls in it. They were dressed up, and they were actually a band playing on a car. Kangwei then suddenly walked towards them really fast, and followed them around Hongdae -_- Kw Daddy arh, always look at girls. Tsk tsk.

And then headed to Coco Bruni (the cafe tht they bought the cake from), to have Patbingsu.

Kangwei and Jacq went to order while I sat and pondered about stuff.

They ordered some bingsu, and they didn't know what exactly they ordered. -_-

Can you guess what it is?
It's actually Persimmon Bingsu -_-
Persimmon cubes, dried persimmon, and persimmon ice cream. With red bean and mochi.
It was really delicious though! <3

We also ate the cake together and it was fantastic!

Jacq and KW were really tired so they had to head back... ):
We took a few pictures outside Coco Bruni...

We bade fond farewells to each other... I can only see them again next year! Sobs...

Well, overall a really tiring day. And I'm ready to sleep!
Before I go, smile~

Haha, don't let you see ugly plaster =p

Have a great day!
And 승익 오빠, don't tire yourself out! D:<

Friendship knows no boundaries!

Sorry for the break >.< I have been out during the weekend with two of my bestest buddies since High School! How awesome is that to have friends who even considered planning a tour to Korea so that they could meet me~ ^_^ Really thankful for awesome friends like Gel and Mel!

So let's begin!

Saturday, 3 Aug 2012
Jacq and Kangwei came to Anam to visit me in the noon! Went to pick them up from the station, and we went to have porridge at 본죽 for lunch because Jacq wanted to have abalone porridge. Second day in a row eating porridge, but I ordered a different porridge today.

After lunch, we went to Etude House. Jacq read about the awesome service on my blog and wanted to visit it. True to my words, Hannah, the staff there was around and was really helpful towards us. I bought myself some really nice sunblock called SunPrise Super Aqua (SPF 45/PA+++). I tried the sample they gave and found it really good. Moisturizing and not to sticky!

Jacq bought a few masks and others. And she asked Hannah about the foundations. Hannah explained that a certain lighter shade would be best for her, but previously Jacq had bought the darker one which might be a little too yellowish for her skin tone. But Jacq decided to go with the one she bought... So we paid, and Jacq requested for Shinee posters. Hannah's other colleague gave us like 3 posters! Along with a bunch of other samples ^^

Then as usual we went to have our patbingsu. Chose Paris Baguette this time as there was a cafe. Jacq and I took the initiative to get the patbingsu while Kangwei went to sit down at the table... Because Jacq and I had planned to surprise him with a cake for his birthday!

We bought a fruits bingsu for us, as well as a slice of cake. Requested for candle and matchsticks and the staff gave it to us with a smile~ Kangwei was in the washroom though, and Jacq lit the candle too early ): So when he came out from the washroom, we couldn't get the match lit on time and we had to surprise him with an unlit candle, haha!

The birthday boy was pretty surprised but hid his expression really well.

My mommie and daddie in Korea~ Haha... I will feel really sad when they go home T_T

Today's Patbingsu! 과일빙수~ From Paris Baguette! It was pretty nice, the crispy cereal-y things made it really special, amidst the refreshing fruits. The kiwi was pretty sour though >.<

On our way back from Paris Baguette, Jacq decided to get the recommended foundation from Etude House, so we went in again with great smiles from the staff in there. She picked up the foundation, and the store manager gave her an extra free gift of a bath set! XD
Awesome, is awesome.

So after that they wanted to go ice skating, so I brought them to KU ice rink.

There were many many kids. This time when I stepped onto the ice, I automatically started moving myself (: Jacq and Kangwei on the other hand took some time to adapt to the motion. But Kangwei kept trying to go faster than he could balance and ended up falling like nobody's business.

And he started the trend of falling because during our time there, a lot of other people fell. More than the usual amount of falls I've seen. -_-
He even caused Jacq to fall, awkwardly, and she got small cut + one big bruise!
Ohhor, Kangwei better show more love to her! <3

Well, anyways, I had to leave early so we all left early together and I showed Jacq my room while I packed for my meetup with Angela and Melanie (and Mel's mum).

So I just headed to Myeongdong, on time, thankfully.
But Gel texted to say that they would be late, and panicked me much. Because Seung-Ik was already arriving and it would be disastrous if we had to wait for them. But anyways, they arrive before Seung-Ik and his cousin did, so I ran towards them when I saw my girls and gave them a hug! ;_;

And then Seung-Ik and his cousin arrived almost immediately after, so we headed to have Okonomiyaki after a very brief introduction.

Half-cooked when I took the photo. We chatted while we ate. The egg thing was pretty awesome, actually. The okonomiyaki was delicious too! Gel and Mel prepared a phrase to say to Seung-Ik's cousin so they shyly said, '만나서 반가습니다~' Though, Mel stumbled a little on her words and they had to say it like, twice XD

We had a good time (:
And it was my (very early) birthday treat to friends. Since Gel and Mel won't be able to meet me on my 21st, this would have to suffice! Also a meal in thanks to Seung-Ik's help and friendship these past weeks, his cousin's welcome meal to Seoul. And a thanks to Mel's mummy for letting her come to Korea to come play with me!

<3 너무 너무 고마워요~! 사랑해요~ <3

We continued shopping after dinner, while Seung-Ik and his cousin went off. The weather was really hot and I had to repeatedly fan myself. Myeongdong is seriously a hot place to be in, there weren't very many stores you could hop into casually to hide from the heat.

They had to get back to the bus after awhile, and I had to leave them to take public transport to their hotel. The heat, is no joke. But I made it to their hotel, which was at Koreana.

After a bit of resting, they decided to go to Dongdaemun for night shopping, and called their tourgroup mate, Arthur, along. And we all use the subway to get to Dongdaemun. I thought it would be really interesting for them to experience subway travelling! (:

We had a little tea while we prepared for night shopping, at Ediya.

My Rose Jasmine Tea! 

Oneechan and I~

So we looked at clothes and shoes at Dongdaemun. Gel and I bought matching pyjamas, and Mel didn't because she says she doesn't wear those. (In the end, she got jealous that she was the odd one out.)
We walked till about 2am, when we got tired and a little hungry so we grabbed some snacks.

A nice cab driver let us take his cab even though we had 5 people! (:

Finally slept at about 3am...

Sunday, 4 Aug 2012
Woke up at 9am! Argh, lack of sleep~ @_@

And then they surprised me with a muffin and chocolate fondant from Holly's cafe, while singing happy birthday. Bright and early in the morning. Thanks, girls~
(But it was really early. In both senses - The time, and the date.)
They also got me a bag as my birthday present! It was a really pretty bag and I didn't have to buy bags anymore! Really the style that I like! They know me so well =p

Today we headed to Ewha Women's University/Sinchon area to shop! We reached really early though, and there weren't many people out yet. So we went to Dunkin' Donuts to have some breakfast. I got myself a Hot English Muffin~

The cheese was melty, and it was super delicious! Oh wells, this is what you get when you pay like, 3000 won for it... It can't NOT be delicious. But truly, it is awesome.

So needless to say, Ewha shopping was heaven for my girls. Even I managed to buy something!
Anyway Gel and I bought another set of matching pyjamas, to the dismay of Mel =p
Sorry, Mel...

They then decided to go for a haircut. I got pretty scared due to me previous experience...But they went ahead so we took extra care to explain it properly.

Both of them decided to trim it in the Korean style. Like mine, pretty much flat at the back. But they cut off less hair as compared to me the previous time.

Comparison of Mel's hair and mine. Not much difference, huh. I bet the hairdresser saw my hair and just cut it that way for safety's sake. But I guess, both of them were pretty satisfied with their hairstyles after that. Though, it seems as if they hadn't trimmed. Haha!

After the ladies were done shopping at Ewha, they wanted to go Myeongdong again as they haven't finished shopping the previous day. Gel actually wanted to buy that sunblock I recommended her, but the first two stores we went to didn't have it! 매진했어요! But in the end we found it ^_^

SPAO was closed. I forgot! >.< Sorry girls!

Well, we stopped for some Patbingsu, like I promised I'd bring them to have some.

Today's Bingsu feature! A cafe at the corner of Myeongdong! Fruits bingsu on the left, and green tea bingsu on the right! Both were good! Fruits had a good variety of fruits, and the red beans were of just the right texture~ Green tea was a delicate flavour. Actually they finished the green tea before the fruits, haha!

While having out bingsu, they spotted Arthur walking outside the cafe and called him in. We offered him to share our bingsu, but he ate only one scoop. After which he said, 'I tried the one with red beans, it's nice.' To which we all replied, 'But both had red beans in it..'

Haha!

We explored Myeongdong some more, until it was evening and Mel sorta almost got broke.

I then brought them to Lotte Mart at Seoul Station, cabbing was actually cheaper than the four of us taking the subway. They had a fun time at the mart. We bought our dinner there too ^^
And then let them pack their shopping into a box. Things they don't get to do in Singapore =p

And we brought them all back to hotel for dinner... Dinner is served!

Noodles for each of us, Mel had some sushi, and a tub of chicken for us. We also bought some orange juice as drinks ^^
I think I'm eating too much nowadays. I could eat more chicken than the rest could even though my noodles were a big cup.
It was really nice to be able to eat with them like that (:

They insisted on buying candles at Lotte Mart just so they can properly sing a birthday say for me with the Holly's Cafe delights, against my reluctance.

They pasted the candles onto the bottom of the ashtray, and lit them all up and sang -,-
It was really funny, but really touching at the same time lol ;_;
Once again, thanks~ <3

After helping them take photos of their purchases in the typical lay-them-all-on-the-bed style. I had to leave to go back to hostel... ):

We walked to the subway and had to wave goodbye even though I didn't want to... I won't be able to see them till next year, and I won't be able to attend Mel's 21st birthday party...

But oh wells, we'll still whatsapp each other really often so, well, said a temporary goodbye and headed home to Frontier.

And back to reality.

Anyway this post is really long, so I will write about Monday in the next post, together with Tuesday's.

Before I sign out, a smile for you!

Sorry my eyes look like they're in a daze >.<

Thank you for reading, and have a good day ahead!

Laughter is my best friend :D

Today was a rather eventful day~

Social psychology as usual, we learnt about emotions and facial expressions.
Interesting fact was that there were non-verbal accents on everybody! People of different countries learn to express emotions is very subtle different ways... So for example, when a Japanese is smiling, you can actually tell if the person is a Japanese born-and-raised-in-Japan, or say... Japanese who grew up in the States.
So in that aspect, we have accents in our facial expressions very much like verbal accents that vary between countries!

He also made people from different countries go up to the board to draw smiley faces~

Ok, I guess y'all can't see.. But at least, you get to see what my class looks like! XD

We didn't go for developmental psychology class today, and went to have Mr. Pizza with Shireen today. Mr. Pizza is endorsed by 2PM! We had a combo set, and chose a shrimp premium pizza!

Yummy goodness. Shireen and I love shrimp~ The side of the crust had a 고구마 (sweet potato) filling, and had a layer of cheese! And below the shrimps was a mixture of corn, cheese, and a whole bunch of other ingredients. Delicious!

Shireen hates corn and sweet potato so she went to great lengths to remove them from the pizza. It was super amusing when she split the crust just to scrape the sweet potato filling off, before consuming the outer cheese layer >.<

We then went back for our Period 4 lesson. Media was pretty funny today. The front part, Prof was talking about pansori, minyo, and chapka. Basically, traditional Korean music. He also went through music in the 70s and 80s. And I was thinking, if we were watching such music videos with the amount of concentration we had, in Singapore... People would seriously laugh at us for doing so.
O_O

And after that, we went to the KU main gate to take photos! The weather, was too hot! >.<
I stood there and perspired like mad. And the worst part was that there were no people to help us take photos! So we had to wait for sometime before we could get a nice group photo...

Hard-earned group photo... A group of young Korean girls helped us with it, and then they requested to take a photo with us! Cool! <3
We also managed to take other shots, of which Victoria's jumpshot skills were so awesome that she helped us take this...

Shireen was wearing a dress so she didn't want to jump properly. On the other hand, Yi Fong and I accomplished awesome poses. (: Nice, right?

Last photo before I melted in the sun. It's really nice! Though Shireen looks kinda scary here...

We wanted to grab food around KU station, but there wasn't anything interesting. We ended up having to walk back all the way to Anam streets. And it was super hot, so we had bingsu instead, at Anouk Cafe!

맛있겠죠? We ordered a bingsu for 3, plus another one because the cafe made us do so. There was dark chocolate ice cream, green tea ice cream, and red berry ice cream! Yummy! Twice as awesome eating it in the hot weather.

Well anyway, joke time!

Shireen and Victoria were arguing about red beans, because Victoria loves red beans, but Shireen doesn't. But Victoria scooped red beans from the big bingsu, into the bowl of the small bingsu... So they bickered a little...

At this moment, I took a piece of cornflake, put it on the tray between them and said...
'Hmm... seems like there's some cornflake (conflict) between you and Victoria...'
XD

And after some laughter, Shireen pressed on the cornflake, broke it, and said, 'There, conflict resolved!'

To which I gave a shocked expression and exclaimed,
'Ohmigawd! CEREAL (Serial) KILLER!!!!!'
XD

And we had even more laughter~ :D

Ahhahaha, I am so good at this! If you need something to laugh about when you're down, feel free to come look for me ^_^

But I mean, if you can't appreciate a good joke, then you'll probably find it a pain to be around me.... ):
Loosen up a little~ Just laugh!

Ahhhh wells, kinda late!
A smile for you before I leave~

Early morning smile! :)

Have a great day and thanks for reading!

Keeping it cool on a Hot Summer's Day

Today, I went ice skating at KU Ice Rink again (: The KU ISC guidebook wrote that it only opens on weekdays, but in actual fact, it opens on weekends too! And the student price applies too (:

But since it was a weekend, there were a lot of skating lessons going on and a lot of people skating around too. When I put my foot onto the rink, suddenly I just forgot how to skate >.< So I had to start really slow to let my muscles get used to the movement on the ice.

But after awhile, I got the hang of it again and increased speed and all. But there were so many people around, and it was scary coz there a were a few times where I almost skated into people who abruptly swerved in front of me or just stopped.

Went back to Frontier to shower, and went out again to meet Jacq and Kangwei.

They were late reaching Choco, so I just entered anyway and sat down at the common area waiting for them.

Was chatting with Seungik and he mentioned having Samgyetang today. Was kinda 'awww...' because Jacq and Kangwei wanted to cook dinner today, so we probably won't be having that today >.<

But when they returned to Choco, I was really surprised because they told me that they bought Samgyetang pack to cook for dinner! I was so happy!

Apparently they didn't know today is the day for having Samgyetang, but they bought it coz they thought it would be nice! They also added abalone to the soup. And cooked beef to go with it. ^^ Delicious!

I brought grapes for dessert, like a little potluck party!

They have wanted to try the grapes since last week, so I just brought some for us, hehe~

Well, it was a really satisfying dinner. And whenever the three of us come together, we will definitely have bingsu! This week featuring...

Royal Milk Tea Bingsu from Twosome Place! Really delicious bingsu (: Don't know if it's my love for bingsu, so the bingsu is really nice. But I would think that it really is nice! The atmosphere in the cafe is good too!

So we chatted for quite some time, and it got too late. So I decided to stay with them at Choco for the night ^^

That being said, I'm borrowing Kangwei's laptop, thus the lack of Korean characters, and you'll realize next - the lack of my daily smile for you. ):

I'll post one tomorrow alright? But have a great day ahead anyways, and thank you for reading!

The Little Prince(ss)!! :D

I slept my fill today! Feeling so satisfied!
There's no homework this weekend, so I continued with my Korean grammar book. When suddenly, I felt like I should get a real storybook to learn more vocab, rather than solely learning from my Ewha coursebook...

So after asking Seung-ik, this was the book I got...

The Little Prince! Or Le Petit Prince...

Honestly one of the best books I've read ever ever in my life. Still remember how much it influenced me when I first read it. And there is so many ways to interpret such a literary masterpiece...
There is no better book to get for my first Korean language storybook! (:

Unfortunately, though, my level of Korean is not enough for me understand it fully just by reading it. I get most of the sentence structures, but not all... And vocabulary is still super lousy now.

Anyway, I then headed to Lotte Mart at Seoul Station to meet Jacq and Kangwei for our weekly 'Family' outing!

We went there to shop for our dinner... Which ended up with us buying...

Yes, I know it's a lot of chicken, but we had three people to share so it wasn't THAT bad. The Lotte Chickens are pretty good! Totally satisfied any cravings I had for chicken for the past couple of weeks...

And they bought abalone too. I can imagine Singaporeans giving me unbelievable faces right now, seeing the abalone. But yeah, it's pretty common here in Korea, and it doesn't come in cans. These are fresh, living abalone. We put the abalone in some 라면(instant noodles), and ate it after we finished our chickens.

Watched the older episodes of 런닝맨 (RunningMan) while we nommed away...

We then went to walk the Sinchon streets after dinner, actually wanting to have 팥빙수 (Patbingsu) at Paris Baguette... But we had to walk past this row of shops that had Skin Food, FaceShop, InnisFree, and Etude House along the way.

And guess what?

Etude House had a storewide 30% discount only for today!!!

So what do we do? We being the pretty girls we are had to go check it out, at the dismay of Kangwei. But since he needed to get stuff for his sister, he wasn't that bad about it...

I bought a few stuff for myself, mainly facewash and some other stuff. Kangwei and Jacq bought a lot of stuff! Out of the three bags, only one small bag is mine and the rest are theirs...

I used my HanaBank card to swipe for purchases for the first time today (:

And because of the time we spent at Etude House, we couldn't have 팥빙수 at Paris Baguette coz they are not taking orders anymore... T.T

But did you think that would stop us? NO!!! We headed to the awesome TWOSOME PLACE... And ta-dah! They were open till midnight so we could still have our 팥빙수!

It's a really cosy and awesome place. And it's really nice to still so many people so late at night. A sight you'll never see in Singapore. People just go to cafes to study, and basically just sit alone.

And this time, we had...

OH MY... It looks super awesome even on the photograph... 유자빙수! Or in English it's Citron Bingsu. That ice-cream thing at the top is actually frozen yogurt! Tasted it, and it was RedMango style - Rich, can still taste the milk in it. YUMZ!

It was a really refreshing treat, and I'd definitely recommend it to people who like refreshing desserts!

Anyway, thank you Kangwei for treating me to the bingsu!

See, happy family! Daddy Kangwei, Mummy Jacq, and baby Cassie!
(곰 세마리가 한 집에 있어... :D)

And I really had a happy time with them today... Three weeks before they have to go back... But I'm really glad that I have them to share my Korea memories with. As my media prof would say, we have collective memories together!

Oh yeah, this photo. Haha, I didn't have plasters anymore coz of the blister so I took the opportunity to get Pororo plasters. I know like in Korea, only kids below 4 years old like Pororo, but Pororo is super cute! I have never watched a Pororo episode before, so I like it purely because he's cute. >_<

I'm not a kid!!!!! (Although the box says KIDs)

So basically, that's my day. Happy with my purchases! Tired enough to sleep now~

Angela and Melanie are coming next week! :D So excited to see them, hehe~

Alrighty, before I go...

A smile for you! Oh yea, if you see that drink I'm holding in the picture, please buy it ONLY IF you love very very sweet drinks. It's lemon tea, but it's too sweet for it's own good. I thought the sweetened lemon teas from Yeo's or Seasons back in Singapore was very sweet already, but omg, this lemon tea owns in sweetness - hands down.

So yea, just a piece of my advice. Feel free to try if you wish...

But yeah, thanks for reading, and I'll see you tomorrow!

Sunshiney day, sunshiney mood~

Woke up to a quiet morning, and decided to skip breakfast for an additional 30 minutes of sleep. Heard from Caili just now that breakfast wasn't very fantastic so I guess I don't regret my choice! (:

Decided to wear my kitty dress to school today, but unlike the other time I did, I didn't see any cats... I'm still feeling grumpy about my haircut. D:< -Frantically sweeps fringe to one side-

Well, lessons today weren't as interesting as I thought they'd be, and so I tried hard to pay attention.

Social psychology talked about prosocial behaviour today, about the psychology of giving help to others. It was an eye opener, because I learnt that in public environments, you'd think that when an emergency/problem occurs, someone is bound to help.

Yet, it is often the opposite! People will just walk past when nobody is willing to stop and help because there is social influence around... If people don't stop to help, then we are pressured to think that it isn't a matter worth our attention. However, when a good samaritan steps up to help the person in distress, people are more compelled to do the same.

Moral of the story: Even if you don't know what to do in situations of distress, just step up to help anyway. So people around you will start to take notice, and there will at least be someone else who can assist with the situation!

And there were lots more I picked up during the lecture, but hmm... that's not for me to write here, haha! But another interesting point to note is that, Singapore is one of the lowest ranking for most helpful countries. Prof said it was shocking, but might be due to economic status and a myriad of other reasons.

Developmental psychology was mainly about ADHD, because he spent so much time talking about it...

We continued discussion on gender minorities during media class, and today we had to go out to do a field survey. This time, we managed to get longer and more insightful answers... Probably coz people were more accustomed to such issues in society?

Victoria invited to eat to BIYA 부대찌개 전문점 today for dinner. Was a little apprehensive because I always thought that army stew (부대찌개) was too spicy, but in the end I went anyway~ Shireen who didn't like to eat spicy food went, so...

Yi Fong took this for me

We ordered a share for 3 people coz we didn't think 3 girls could eat that much. Turns out that the portion was just right for all of us. They also gave a side dish of hash brown balls, which Shireen and I chomped up pretty quickly. We then realized they'd refill it for us, and we were SUPER happy :D

Oh yea, the 부대찌개 wasn't as spicy as I thought it would be, so it was really, really delicious. Maybe one day I'll go back to eat! :D Victoria was being picky though, she kept picking out the luncheon meat, and said that she doesn't like the beef. I ate everything in it, the ingredients, I mean. Not so picky.

After a filling dinner, we walked to the nearby convenient stores to pick up some stuff. They bought some fruits I think, and on the way out I decided to get ice cream... Can you guess what I got?

팥!빙!수! In a cup! They were having 50% off, so I got this for 1,500 won! :D
OMG the Cassie is a happy girl~ For a moment, I forgot about my hair XD

I also saw a whole stack of fishie ice creams! Serious, serious, serious. Jacq and Kangwei will be jealous to the max... So now you know what ice cream I'll be getting tomorrow... ㅎㅎㅎ

This was what the 팥빙수 looked like inside the cup. Doesn't look really colourful, but I thought it was pretty delicious. -nomnomnom-

Just did my readings for today, and went on to study more grammar... Managed to talk to my Korean classmates back in Singapore today! Suddenly feel so attached to them again ;_;

Tomorrow's gonna be a brand new day~
A smile for you!

Shireen photobomb! One day, one day, my hair will return to it former glory.....

Thank you for reading! <3
