One Exciting Weekend - A Tale of Six Screwed-up Girls

We made a decision to travel south down to Jeollanam-do over the weekend. What. a. decision.


We arrived at Gwangju in the afternoon, made reservations at 3 motels, turned up at one, and got scolded by another (for not turning up)






our dodgy hotel. comes with a porn channel.


Then we went over to Jindo on Saturday morning. Arrived in the afternoon with no accomodation planned, and followed to Hong Kong-ers to some mountain-top art bank with all our luggages and still no accomodation.


So we started asking the staff at the art bank if they had any accomodations to recommend. We stood around for about half an hour while they helped us call motel after motel. In the end, we asked if there were any homestays around. The man who was helping us all along said "Yes. My house."


And off we went bundled into two vehicles to his house!

Midterms in Korea

Notices on midterm exams here are hm.. interesting.

"... Water or a soft drink is allowed in the exam, food is not allowed.

During the exam, please respect and be considerate to your fellow students – be as quiet as possible.

If you have any questions or problems during the examination, please raise your hand. If that does not get the instructor's attention, throw something at her/him. Whatever you do - please do it quietly.

And. Do it well!

***************************************************
GOOD LUCK!!!
"

I wonder why those in NUS are always so stoic.

别这个样子

为什么你一定是对的呢?只有你的想法和一切才是对的吗?我做我自己是错的吗?

我珍惜我们的友情,却不知不觉的发现我越来越不喜欢和你有共同的空间。你总是让我觉得我做的事情是错的,别人的想法和做的事情也是做的。只有你才是对的。我好讨厌你这个样子,厌倦跟你说话。

就请你不要让我不开心了。

Snapshot from skiing trip

Somehow I just couldn't get this scene out of my head..

Ski instructor: chaemissosoyo? (was it fun?)

*silence from the rest of the van

Sheena: Neh! Chaemissosoyo! (Yes! It was fun!)

*three seconds of silence

Sheena: Was it fun?

Rest of the van: YES!!!
