guidebooks

I wish there are guidebooks for life.. Where it tells you all the truths in life.. Where it lets you know that there is no such things as a straight road... life is a roller coaster with seat belts to always keep you safe

Lately I felt like my seat belt is becoming loose... as a friend said I have been beating around the bush with my decisions... Unsure of what to do and what i actually want regards to both relationship and school.

I dreamt of big things that i could achieve 'things' rather than 'a thing'... but never figure out what do i really want...
This is not the first time Ive heard of this but just never bother to take notice. As time goes by I've realised that I have confused my own self even more to the point that i need to think clearly for what I stand for.. What i want to do with my life and be my own navigator of life as God intended us to be. To follow the basic rules of life while still keeping a sense of My own identity.

without doubt this is said easier than done. But one has to try..

The big question is that... HOW??

buttered honeyed toast

getting tired of this place...

wish i could run away to a place where buttered honeyed toast is all i need...

- feeling blue -

thinking if I have made the right choice... running away from my patisserie dream for a while...just for a while or so I thought...

wish I could turn back time where all I need is chicken curry after school, friends eating out, sharing life stories, talking about someone else's other half and promise ours will be different or so I thought...

goggling recipes to see what to bake this weekend instead of spending time with the other half or so i thought...

dear buttered honeyed toast... all i need is melt in your mouth buttered and a hint of honey in my toast. Is that too much to ask?

not in my best mood and chose to blah.. about it in my blog.. sorry :)

38C bus ride...

so another friday has come... I didn't realise it was Friday until it is friday....

wait....

does it make sense?mm... no... really...

sorry... I just got back from one of the most excruciating bus ride on record.
It has to be 'a moment to remember' as the bus we took to go back to Seoul filled with more than 30 students was 38C inside. 38 freakin' degrees that's like the temperature of a human body, not to count the 102% humidity.. and no windows...
the air conditioner worked out fine when we got in first, but then around 30 minutes later.. it turned it self to a mobile jimjilbang(sauna). With the combination of some K-pop music video playing on the TV put up by the lovely driver ajhussi... yea it was hot, noisy, people complaining from back to front.... let's just say it wasn't the prettiest ride.
Funny thing is that when we finally got off from this 'sauna' everyone smiled in joy as the weather outside was cooler (it was currently 35C outside)

anyway... we were making these


mine - what's more to say on top of your rice bowl
most female students were making these love hearts..... mine?? the one in the middle - mini milk jug

a friend of mine made an awesome turtle ninja

whilst these little one was watching all of us made a fool of ourselves...

August 1st 2011

my obsession with green-tea latte






Another month has just gone by without me even realizing how things are moving faster than what my korean level should be by now.

My progress in(or on??) Korean
Being in level 3 in korean is not as easy as I thought it would be. New grammars,expressions,new vocabulary,and most importantly the ability to concentrate on teacher's explanations prove evidently that it is the time to pull up the gear and pump up your korean skills!! So looking forward to over sized portions of Koreans being served and little less of... Well.. entertaiment awww...

Progress in finding a new place
non-existent... For real..
Sadly finding a new place to stay outside school dormitory is... insanely complicated. Houses in here are not exactly a piece of cake as you would find some of them being very inhospitable like u can live in a rooftop or a basement. Having lots of windows where ur freeze in winter and boil in summer or having no windows at all. Take your pick... Ah well... No good ever come from complaining they say.. So just have to look for other options. Somewhere out there there'll b a house where a kitchen is missing its owner and preferably an oven to go with it as well.. and a bread machine and an ice cream maker as well or in a million years a Kitchen Aid mixer!!.. hey no hurt in dreaming as they say!!

My progress on orchestra
awesome!! its moving really well. The deal is three times a week with three hour rehearsal each excluding parts rehearsal. So.. Yea very time consuming but quite worth it since we're preparing awesome three pieces! some include all four movements of the Beethoven symphony no.7 yay!!

Another busy week and month ahead! hope you out there non existent readers are having a good start to this month.

Till then de journie....
