A new year, a new start.

You can now find me at:

I got nostalgic, and decided to write something

Hmm. I guess that's just about it.

Will start blogging again soon after exams on a new site that Winnie set up for me! :)

Till now... It's back to trawling through the net to find some kick ass information for my Media Law paper tomorrow!

To the imaginary readers I always wished I had:

I have had 927 posts here in Blogger.

I wanted to be all sentimental and wait till my 1000th post to leave Blogger.

But I'm not that patient, and I'm bored of Blogger.

So I'm leaving you.

Au Revoir.

thought of the day: you can tell how close a person feels towards you, by sharing an umbrella with them. which make umbrellas such romantic objects.

what i liked about today: finding isaac sandwich again!

and just hanging out at the fringe festival watching an outdoor performance. i liked that i finally got the chance to sit down and just watch an entire performance. one thing i love about art is that you don't have to understand the language to understand the meaning.

and buying notebooks. okay i seriously bought too much. but the idea of filling it up with drawings and what nots...just make me really excited!

moving to uncle's place tomorrow. this is my Nth time moving around korea... i'm a little tired from packing stuff and unpacking stuff and then packing stuff again and dragging my things all around... i'm gonna miss hongdae so much but i guess the countryside is gonna be good for my soul as well. there's still so much to see in hongdae! to finally be able to just catch my breath and be in touch with the Holy Spirit. i hope i won't be taking the subway for the next 5 days cos i'm so sick of people pushing pass me... koreans are always in such a hurry and i don't understand why.

"Expectations. They change as we change. They're born of our biggest dreams and deepest fears. Sometimes we even inherit them. Lately, I expect a lot of things, wich could lead to happiness or disappointments, but regardless, it'll bring me closer to the truth.."

FOOOOD

Today in Core Biology, I learnt a little bit more than mere DNA replication...

So apparently DNA replication has it's imperfections...

But it's because of these imperfections that there is biodiversity and variation.

If DNA replication was 100% perfect,

I believe all rocks will look the same, all plants will be the same color, there would only be one type of each animal and...

We would all look the same.

Can't you see?

Our imperfections make us.

beautiful.

Feeling very restless now because i'm running away from studying 100 korean words for tomorrow's test.

I hereby conclude that these are the few most important phrases I need to know:

1) Where am I?

Reason: While traveling, you need to know how to get from point A to point B. Thing is, I usually don't know where is point A.

2) How to get to ______ (insert location)?

3) How long will the journey take?

4) Right. Left. Straight.

5) Is it nearby?

And these are the standard conversations I have had in Gyeong Ju:

Convo 1:

Korean: Where are you from?

Me: I'm from Singapore

Korean: Oh, no wonder, you look korean, but you speak english.

Me: Oh thank you very much, korean girls are very pretty.

Convo 2:

Korean: Are you from the Philipines?

Me: (Am i that dark???) No, I'm from Singapore.

Convo 3:

Me: Here. Where?

Korean: adkfakmkamckadmfaf yo.

Me: -Stunned- Korean Language. Little.

Korean: ajajidifadafdjfai yo.

Me: -Oh dear- It's okay. Thank you!
