Zong mu kuei kuei
Today I really found out the true meaning of the phrase that my Chinese teachers taught me, but which I neva really felt for myself. Making peace is really difficult with people around and suddenly directing their attention to us! Mea culpa, mea culpa...my fault, my fault.
Let's leave that aside and talk about happier stuffs. I finished my 2nd last paper today! Think it wasn't too bad. A/P Kratoska actually cracked a joke about the random way the lecturers mark papers, very thoughtful considering the fact that the collection of papers are not exactly the most fun thing to do.
Weijin is going to Korea and was talking to her about it in the canteen. I loved Jeju island cos of it's rather rustic compared to the mainland. It's not so developed and has lovely scenery, with stark beaches and majestic mountains. It must be nice to go in summer; I was there in winter and it was a miserable time, though Jeju was much better than the mainland. -15 degree is no joke! Plus I was totally unprepared in terms of clothing, which gave me a flu that lasted 2 weeks when I came back. But yeah, I wonder how it is like now, after it has been popularised by All In?
I remember that there were tons of couples on honeymoon there! Complete with matching jackets and personal photographers, it's almost surreal becos I had neva seen so many couples in 1 place in my life before. Then, to add to the romance of the place, there were lots of yuan yang birds, which as we Chinese know, symbolises love and togetherness. Pretty! But I really can't imagine it with a casino like what All In showed, spoiled my impression of it a bit. I din watch that show, except excerpts here and there. Song Hui Qiao is really beautiful in that show! Almost like an angel, so fair she is. But as usual, they just have to make the whole show soppy... I have shifted allegiance to watching Jap dramas instead of Korean ones cos I just can't stand so much crying when I watch something.
The mainland is ok, not very much different from any other cosmopolitan countries. The palace was a disappointment, especially when compared to those in China. I liked the skiing tho. We stayed at the very hotel that Song Hui Qiao, Won Bin and Song Chen Xian filmed Autumn in my Heart in. Some Jap boys asked me to help them take photos and later, they wanted to take picts with me. One of them hugged me so tightly when talking photo! I wondered if I should have told him to release me, but I'm a bit dense when it comes to this sort of thing, not like our dear Charmaine who must have so much practice that she knows what to do instinctively ;) Anyway, after we came back, watching Winter Sonata brought back lots of memories of that beautiful but crazily cold winter. Love those snow flakes!
I said that I dun like Korean dramas, but I still like 1 very much: All About Eve. It's not at all soppy, very realistic. Like that sort of romance that they portrayed, lighthearted. I really dun think that being in love means being heavy-hearted and soppy...eeks! I think my copy is currently in Indonesia tho, so we can't watch it just yet. Anyway have fun in korea, Weijin gal! Can bio all the cio gals too, tho u neva know whether it's the fantastic result of some plastic surgery!
