been reading through my seniors as well as my ex classmates' blogs and am, dare i say it, envious of the life that they are leading right now. coming from very much an Arts background, where literary reads, art and music were the norm, i never expected myself to end up in something so practical like accounts. perhaps its reality that scares me. somehow, i have always envisioned myself doing the thing that i love and not what i need. money over enjoyment, practicality over dreams. is there really no space for dreamers in a pragmatic society such as ours? whereby money, fame and fortune are the rules of the game?
we were allowed to dream, allowed to imagine ourselves travelling across the world, exploring, eating and enriching ourselves through our travels. we saw the world through the pages of books. but it was not enough. it left us wanting more. sadly, graduation saw us grow up, don suits and ties and enter the rigorous working world where cash is king.
perhaps i'm jaded, or perhaps its resignation.. i really don't know..

떡갈비
met suyeon for lunch @ samcheongdong on sunday. apparently, the 떡갈비 is extremely famous. but oh boy, did we have to walk a distance to get there! and on top of that, the weather hit a fabulous high of 35degrees! samcheongdong's pretty arty farty, with loads of quaint cafes nestled along the sidewalk. it would be a good place to take a stroll at if not for the disgusting weather. >_< i came in autumn/winter & it was extremely enjoyable! :D
we had to queue for almost 30 mins in the sweltering heat! i felt like my legs were on fire on something. it was THAT hot. but still, the wait was worth it. :P koreans don't seem to mind queuing up for good food too! hehe.
the exterior... sorry its in B&W. i forgot to change the settings. :P
we adjourned to Paris Baguette for cake & patbingsu awhile later... it was so hot that i couldn't think straight. >_<

back... in seoul!
finally back in seoul after 7 months or so.
feels weird but yet really good to be back. :) although i felt like i was in a dream for most of yesterday. i suppose it was due to the lack of sleep & the fact that i can really slack and not think about work contributed to it. :)
reached seoul @ an unearthly hour at 445am. filled in loads of forms (due to the H1N1 scare), grabbed my bags & somehow managed to make it to 대학로. functioning on 3 hours of sleep is absolutely NOT funny at all. was pretty overwhelmed with the fact that i'm actually back so much so that we(호림 & i) spent 1hr plus walking ard trying to find something nice to eat. :P finally decided on 떡만두국 . :) i think we walked ard 대학로 more than once trying to find a nice place to eat. :P
since i was only meeting suyeon @ 7 in myeongdong, we decided to sit down in o'sulloc for a nice cup of green tea. :P
o'sulloc cafe
my green tea with apple!
met suyeon for shabu shabu @ jung son and she bought me a strawberry cake!
hehe. but its filled with cream! but still, i <3 suyeon!!! hhee.
ms cpa/sia/unni/esther wants me to get a chocolate cake with strawberries for her!!!! v funny. hahaha.
off to edae later! ;) time to cut cut cut my hair. ;)
