Bling (Confessions of a King)

Aigoo... After all my hard work the night before, I realised that I missed out Daesung's name from the jigsaw of Keobuki Islanders up there. FYI he's the one in between the robot's legs (not on purpose, of course). So I will have to add it, then re-upload the picture, then replace it in the code.

I was suddenly hit with a very strong craving for something this afternoon. And no, it had nothing to do with me fasting and being hungry. Because it was a craving for something I've never tasted before, something called ddeokbokki, a Korean dish. It's basically rice cakes in chilli stew, or something similar to that. It looks so good in pictures! And I really like starchy food and spicy food. A good match, wouldn't you think? Yup, I think so too.

Plus, in an episode of Idol Army, it's the dish Wooyoung (or Woodong, as he's been christened) of 2PM begged two girls to buy for him. 2PM were fairly new then, so they didn't recognise him. Then he begged the ahjumma (old aunty) to give one to him. He stamped his feet and pleaded, and suggested he advertise for her. So he sang a song about ddeokbokki to passers-by. It was so cute! "DDeokbokki, ddeokbokki~" And he got one for free. Hard work for one piece of ddeokbokki. That passion for ddeokbokki was so... touching. Actually, he was only trying to complete a task set by the producers. But ddeokbokki still sounds good.

Now I want one too! Out of all the halal Korean eateries in Singapore, not one sells ddeokbokki, to my knowledge, even after extensive googling. So I want to make some of my own. Mission for this week: get some ddeokbokki!

Next week's my hall camp, to which I don't know if I should look forward. It's six days long, and I want to completely slack at home before school begins! Bahhh-. Can't believe I'll be staying at a hostel. Won't be able to see anyone from my family for 5/6 days every week, and I'll have to go all the way back home every weekend. Troublesome, really. I'll totally miss my room, and KBS World. We'll see how it goes after 2 months. Maybe I'll be able to take travelling back and forth every day.

For now, it's 2:20 in the morning (time for some music by 2AM! lol) and I have to go iron some clothes. Good night to you, good day to me.

Ddeokbokki, ddeokbokki~

Let me go to sleep now.

Another fully sleepless night, editing the pictures for my blogskin. Extremely useless work, but i enjoy doing it. Once you get one picture, you've just gotta get more. I started from scratch again so that i could fit in more people. Really, Keobuki Island is getting over-populated brcause of this.

Yesterday's sleepless night was spent watching "My Tutor Friend" on mysoju.com. Nice movie. I wanna watch the sequel!

I'm sleeping during the day 'cos I'm fasting (paying back last year's absenteeism. I'm really tardy, I know). So I stay up, eat breakfast at 5, sleep at 6, then wake up in the afternoon and break my fast at sundown. You'd think I'd be bored staying up so late alone, but there's always something to do. Never anything actually productive, but i always have a good time.

I'm going to sleep now. I think only I (and maybe Pat) will take any notice of the pictures in my blogskin, but it brightens up my day. So I'm happy.

good morning. guten morgen. annyeonghi jumushyossoyo. selamat pagi. zzzz

I've been back since Tuesday 12:00AM, but haven't posted because I've been trying to create a new blogskin (I was inspired by Pat's blogskin!).

But here's something really cute and funny:

There's this cute kid actor that they've asked to make five different facial expressions, and then they ask Nichkhun to do it too. But the seriously funny part comes when they get this old guy (some celebrity or other) to do it.

Will post pictures soon!

It's 11.34pm in Melbourne, which makes it 9.34 back home. I'm back from what has been the most tiring day I've ever had in Australia: Toboggan-ing on Mount Baw Baw!

My first time seeing snow, and it was such a surprise! The guy down the mountain wouldn't rent us toboggans because he said the snow might be too little for that, so I wasn't expecting much. But as it turned out, there was loads of snow! And although the snow suits we rented was to keep the cold out, it got pretty warm because of the sun's reflection off the snow, and running up the slope as soon as we'd slid down.

Tobogganing just basically means sledding down a slope. It's so fun! The only thing was I had to apologise to many people each time I went down the slope, cos I ran into everyone!

Will update with pictures when I get home and self-quarantine! Seriously though, nothing in Melbourne points towards any swine flu problem. Strange.

\\would you believe I've bought 14 tops so far? ... money's running out! $200 left//

Hey guys, I'm in Melbourne, like, finally! I flew in alone from Perth on 1st July, then on the same day drove for like 10 hours with my cousins and their dad's friends to Sydney. And now I'm finally back in Melbourne. Glad to feel comfy again, cos the cabin in Sydney was serously darn cold even though Sydney's supposed to be warmer than Perth.

I must say, I reall really really miss Perth and Singapore. Singapore mostly because I miss showering without shivering and watching Korean shows amd eating food that actually has spice. (And family, of course) Perth, because I miss everyone!

Staying with Pat and Dan at Aunty Marie's (Dan's aunt) house was so fun. We shopped for our own breakfast, but sometimes Aunty Marie cooks yummy familiar food for us. The house is so comfy and welcoming, and we saved on transport since Aunty Marie almost always helped us find someone to drop us off. I think it was only on Sunday that we took a bus somewhere... and got caught in the rain afterwards haha. Silly us!

Most of all I miss the company. Holidays fee different when you're with friends, because each day seems like an exciting new adventure. Plus we're all shopping junkies, so we had the same objective in going out haha. We got to touch kangaroos and a wombat, a lizard and a koala. We explored a prison. We ate Perth's Top 5 fish and chips (at two different places). We love Supre! And we love Aunty Marie! Haha. Wish my time in Perth didn't fly by so fast...

But now I'm in Melbourne, so I fully intend to enjoy myself and shop like mad at all the factory outlets and markets. Will write more!

Pictures will be uploaded when I get home, cos there's lots.

Would you believe I took a plane all by myself from Perth to Melbourne without any mishaps? I did leave my jacket at the security screening place, but I got it back, so no harm done.
