그냥 일하고 친구랑 만나 뿐이지..
근데 요즘 드라마 별로 재미없더라..
시가 끝난 후에 방송에 나오고 있는 것 다... 별로이야..
그래서 드라마 포기하고 예능 보고 있어.
영웅호걸 다 봤는데 지금 런닝맨 보고 있어.. ㅎㅎ
월요일 커플보다 송송 커플 맘 더 들어. ㅋㅋ
시가만큼 재밌는 드라마 있으면 좋을 텐데....
낼도 일찍 일어나야 돼.. ㅠㅠ
돼게 싫어.. 날씨 좀 쌀쌀하니까 자기 돼게 좋아..
담주에 진해에 벛꽃 보러 갈 거니까 좀 기대해.. 오래만에 여행.. ㅋㅋㅋ.
올해 시간 참 빨리 지냈어.
내가 한국에서 그래?
왠지 한국에서 시간 훨신 빠르게 지내는데..
나의 환성인가?
벌써 4월 올거야..
봄도 돼고..
계절의 변화 따라서 신간도 마찬까지야..

서래마을 - the french village of Seoul
visited seorae village (서래마을) yesterday with suyeon.. we got kinda tired of hanging ard myeongdong & doing the same 'ole thing so we decided to explore seoul. :)
Took a bus down to the Express Bus terminal from myeongdong.. though u can take lines 7/9/3 to the Express Bus terminal station and exit via exit 5 if i recall correctly.
we were greeted by a long bicycle track lined with bare trees. i imagine that it'll be really pretty in spring & autumn with all the leaves/flowers in full bloom. it was a 10 min walk or so along the path to the entrance of the 'village'.
we had to cross an overhead bridge to get to the opposite side of the road
Seorae Village is supposedly populated by the French, with a French school and French cafes/eateries. However, the people whom I saw along the way were mainly Koreans, save for a handful of French. at least, i assumed that they were French. They could have been Europeans for all i know.
wandered ard the rather tiny 'village' which only took us an hour or so on foot.
'menu' of a cafe?
entrance to a cafe
it was rather picturesque, but did not emit the 'frenchy' vibe that i had expected. it seemed to be just another upscale place that was reminiscent of samcheongdong and garosugil. we decided to have dinner @ O'Fete (오페뜨), a cafe along the main street of the village.
the exterior
the interior
our dinner - waffles with gelato & cranberry cheese bread
the waffles were really good! tasted kinda like butter cake though. hehe. but i think we OD-ed on carbs for the day though..
left at ard 9pm cause i was getting kinda tired.. guess it must have been work. haha.
its already sunday night! the weekend really flies by.. >_<

삼척 - 12월21일 ~ 22일
kinda late to be blogging abt my Samcheok trip 3 months later, but i guess its better late than never. :P
headed to samcheok over in gangwon-do for 2D1N with jieting, becky, kelvin, janet, weiling & zhengyu.. the entire bus journey took approx 3.5hrs?
i must say that travelling in winter is not v fun cause of all the excess baggage that u'll have to bring along.. n knowing me, i have loads of extra rubbish... >_<
anw, we stayed at this really quaint pension, Rose Valley which was the filming site for a few korean dramas/movies!
view from the front!
the girls stayed in 화목
while the guys stayed in 소망
we wanted to dump them in 사랑 or 낭만 or even 신혼 but they were so adamdant against it. Pity..
Anw, samcheok's a quaint little seaside town that's pretty near donghae. would have loved to check out the caves, but there wasn't enough time. >_<
We settled for a lovely bike ride along the ocean instead! The Samcheok Ocean Rail Bike! It cost 60,000won for a 4 seater. They do have 2 seater bikes as well! The view along the way was really lovely!
the entrance of the rail bike station!
rail bikes
view on the way
view inside the tunnel
i think we went thru 2-3 tunnels along the way & each tunnel had a different theme to it.. lovely dioramas though..
we took a stroll along the coastline after we were done!
the obligatory group photo on the beach (courtesy of my wonderful timer function)
welcome to rose valley!
i guess it was a pretty relaxing trip in all.. though it would have been nicer in either spring or autumn..

a bored blogger blogs
managed to get some aliteration in there.. ;) am free right now & its relaxing. compared with the hectic week(s) that i've had since end jan. hehehe.
have my eye on quite a few, ok.. MANY things.. but its economically impossible to get them all. 1st, the jeffrey campbell boots that cost USD$140,
a pair of floral shorts from F21 that cost USD$17.80,
a pair of heeled leather boots that cost ard 70,000won.
think i've been spending a little too much these days.. plus, i'm going for a musical next friday! its 천국의 눈물 & its been getting rave reviews. decided to watch it after listening to 들리나요 by 이해리.. :) friday's gonna be one of the days where she's acting, so that's gd. :)
its gonna be held at the 국입극장 near 총무로 on line 3.
can't wait. hehe. opted for the cheapest tickets that cost 30,000won though.. hopefully the view won't be that bad.. :P
my 1st musical in korea! nice. will update after i've watched it. heheh.
meanwhile, i'm still very sleepy. i can't wait to go home to sleep. hehe. we went for a walk by the Hangang after lunch today & oh boy, was the wind strong! i guess it was cause there were no trees/buildings to block the wind.. it just came on full blast!!! it sure was refreshing though...
but i'm sleepyyyyy..... n i still have 회식 tonight!

adding on to my library of books....
its past midnight & i'm still in the office. well done. its a very long story, one of which i shall not repeat here in case, by any chance, someone does come across it. let no evidence be found here.
anw, did research for my TW trip coming up in May + bought 5 books from Book Depository! yes. i know.. FIVE! haha. i've been devouring books at an alarming rate. i mean, who buys 11 books in the span of just 1 month? n i've already finished half of what i bought just cause the rest were pre orders...
there's something abt korea that makes me read even more. it must be the lack of english being spoken that i feel an innate need to retain my english speaking/writing capabilities somehow. n the best avenue is through reading.
i can't wait for the books to come though. hehehe. i love receiving presents in my mailbox. :) bought the following books:
hehehe. exciting.. and i'm eagerly waiting for this book to arrive..
its book 2 in a trilogy series on Jane Austen books. :) its gonna be published in 43 days, so i suppose it'll reach me 2 weeks after its been published! hopefully it arrives soon. hehehe.

of books & more
with last week being a rather eventful week, this week has began with a rather muted pace.. not that i mind that much.
sat was spent somewhat in a daze, owing to a severe lack of sleep. i think i had only 4hrs of sleep before i went off to class at 종각. headed off to Bandi & Luni's for a look see before going home. i realised that due d, being very diff from audit, required some in depth knowledege & what little i knew wasn't really gonna serve me that well.
stumbled upon the Mckinsey Valuation book in Bandi & Luni.. n it was going for only 48,000won (USD$43.44) as opposed to USD$54.88 on Amazon or USD$63.53 on Bookdepository
there were quite a no of textbooks on valuation to choose from, but i chose this cause of the Mckinsey brand.. haha. i know its a pretty lame way to choose a book, but that was about all i could do, seeing as how the books were sealed up in plastic wrap. but it seems that i made the right choice, cause most of my colleagues had the textbook (the korean version) in the office! haha.
am now waiting for the textbook to be out!
but i suppose it'll probably take some time to arrive in Korea. its pretty pricey even on Bookdepository, going for approx USD$30? and around USD$20.55 on Amazon.
n i've booked my tickets to Taiwan!! or rather, redeemed my mileage. hahaha. Yvonne found a really classy hotel for quite a gd price! though its a little out of the way, i guess we'll survive. :P will update with pictures/price/location of the hotel when i get back tonight or sth!
and and! i'm going for steak @ Tony Roma's tonight with 수연! one of my colleagues passed me a one for one coupon & we're gonna make use of it before it expires. though i'm really full now.. had a pretty filling lunch with the partner + 2 other colleagues. 안심토마토파스타! i've no idea how i'm gonna have steak tonight too...

basket...
its freaking 224am & i'm doing nothing again......
basket.. )(*%!#)($*!#
i've plenty of things to do at home (i.e: pack my box to be mailed out) before going to the 학원 (my class starts at 10am). n i'm sitting here wasting my time again. freak.
i'm gonna be damn late for class. n i can't even skip class cause i need to achieve 80% attendance for them to actually reimburse me. n since there are 4 classes in 1 mth, missing 1 class means that i'll only achieve a 75% attendance, which effectively means that i can't miss ANY lessons.. how wonderfully planned.
its times like this where i miss my MCs.......
n i guess, i might just move on after 1 year. within the country....
i need my sleep.
the longer this goes on for, the more heck carish i'm starting to become.. i dunno if its a gd thing or not.. honestly.
BASKET(@*&#(#*^$
edit: i think i need to pray against ever working with funny Ps that seem to have endless energy.... this is my 2nd time working with the P & its not funny AT ALL. i'm am not amused in the least.
this is the only way that i can vent my anger for now.. writing is cathartic. at an unearthly hour of 233am in the morning. i have a gd mind to go off somewhere to sleep... my eyes are barely open & my contact lenses feel damn bloody dry. i'm highly pissed & i think its damn obvious. but i couldn't care less.
ARGH

my new umbrella!
my pretty new umbrella that i got @ Kosney for 14,000won. it was going at half price! i wanted to purchase it when i was at the myeongdong branch with suyeon the previous week, but the high price put me off.
and as luck would have it, the edae outlet was selling it at 50% off the original price 1 week later! :P
met up with shalin & walked around quite a fair bit.. chanced upon SBS filming Heroes @ Edae too!
managed to see everyone except Nicole! though it would have been better if the cameramen weren't in the way.. >_<
Rules for watching the filming
narsha, lee jin, shin bong sun, noh hong chul, hong soo ah, seo in young & jung ga eun (click to enlarge)
will update more soon.. kinda bushed today..zzz
am expecting to work late tomorrow cause the report's due on fri. i only pray that i won't end up staying till 5am like the last time..
