saturday's lunch

videos of my field trip!

hidden dragon crouching tiger

you know for some reason, i'm not even sure if i got the title right, i have to think so many times if i got it right before typing it down.. can't believe i watched that today!!! of all shows.. shitty shitty. i really hate zhang ziyi.. oh well.. on the bright side, i'm waiting for discussion on monday so that he can enlighten me on the show.. so i guess its good in a way. 2 freaking hours of it.. damn.. anyway, we had a mini discussion on it... i guess its still pretty cool.
site vs. tool
man-made vs nature.
basically... we focused on the tool, like for eg the sword. The tool itself is powerless without a man to use it. When one believes in the tool, the usage is priceless. The tool is only as powerful as our ability to believe whether it is indeed powerful or not.

anyway, i took a photo of prof today. its a lil blurry, but still cool nevertheless.

Ta-da... if u see right, he's disturbing the korean guy on the left. He's holding this thing pretending its a machete, and he's going around fighting people. And because he's moving everywhere, its so hard to capture a shot of him!

okay, so today, we had onigiri for lunch, u know those rice ball thingy covered with seaweed? Because we ate it while walking back, i didn't get to take a pic of it.. and besides, i don't really think u want me to take a pic of it also, if not you guys will just feel sick about what you're eating currently.. muahahahaah! and then, i bought street food a long the way, i only remembered to take a pic of it when i was eating it.. so here are pictures of half-eaten food

that's like rice cakes and kimbap! haha! 2000 won each packet, shared between me and sol.. Its really really filling... oh and we have macs for dinner!

day 12! Can't wait for it to double up!

Wednesday! Woot! If i were to be completely honest, things are not getting better and are in fact getting worse with the other two girls. So i was telling u guys that today's my only free day after class, i dun have anything in the late afternoon, so i wanted to spend more time on the assignment and sort of get it done if possible. So apparently they got mad because she wanted to go teddy bear museum or something, and her plans got whacked or something. Anyway, the two of them are out, and i'm here with sol doing work. so i sort of wanted to clear the misunderstanding as usual... and i was told that she is not very happy with the way things are because things aren't going the way that she expected it to be. Yup, that's exactly what i was told. So i think i actually pondered about that the entire class time. I seriously have no idea why i was so bothered by it, or so caught up by the whole situation, sometimes i wish that i wasn't made to be such a person. But i think after thinking it really hard and long, i decided that they will definitely not be a long term friend of mine, and when we're done with our degrees, i don't really think we will keep in touch and stuff. Or at least, they aren't friends who truly understand me and know me and stuff. So because of that entire thought, i finally think that its stupid of me to think and be bothered so much by people who are selfish and don't spare a thought for me either. I guess i thought that being together for about 2 years, they would know what kind of character i am, what kind of personality i am, i can always foresee what they will say about certain things that me and sol do, but it seems like up till now, they still don't know what kind of person i am. So i guess they don't really treat me as a friend too... so i think i'm done thinking about them as well.

So because of that wall that i guess we indirectly created, me and sol finally gotta have lunch on our own! Hee... waffles and gelato.

Nice right? And there's chocolate and espresso gelato as well =) Costs 9200 won, so its about S$10.50, shared between the both of us, and its surprisingly filing for me. Ha!

And then we bought back a bagel and doughnut for each of us, and i got my cappuccino again, nice =)

And seriously, its really not a crime to stay home and complete homework and not go out right? Please enlighten me really.

Oh and i took shots this morning of my site in black and white, let me know if its better as compared to the coloured ones okie?

What do you guys think?

Anyway, our prof went through the saying that " there is no place like home ".

In one way, it can mean that there is certainly no other place that can be compared to the warmth and likes of our own house, and that that is indeed the best place to be.

However, in another way, it can also mean that it is non-existent, it does not belong in reality. It is just a fantasy and a fragment of our imagination.

Tuesday oh Tuesday

I don't think i told you guys, but there's actually a blind guy in my class and he has the dog to aid him everywhere. So it so happened that i got to seat next to him for class today, took pics of the dog, ha!

He was sleeping throughout the lesson anyway. We watched Manny and Lo today, the scarlett johansson one. Wasn't that bad.. then we compared it to wizard of oz and where the wild things are, its actually pretty cool, so once again, so far so good.. i'm really liking classes so far and that's so rare back home. Oh and prof talked to me today, totally scared me. He was asking me during break time who i thought was the best sleeper in class. He kept asking me even though I said i dunno, haha! Damn weird right? Then he was telling me who he thought was the best sleeper and asked if i agreed... he's really really wacky seriously.

Anyway, next, lunch! Woot, finally ate the black bean paste noodles, the jajungmyun thingy.

This is what it looks like when it was served.

This is how it looks like when i mixed it up!

Ta-da! my close up =)

Okay, now focus on the assignment, i took some pictures on the site today while walking to school, these were what i got.

So i was thinking of making the photos black and white, and maybe use all the photos that i've posted to show like the degree of closeness i am to the site, which also means like according to how i have posted it, it makes it feel like one is advancing towards the site. Hmm... does that make sense? Then i was thinking of putting like a couple or more stanzas on which photo... what do u guys think?

Nanta

Nanta performance for today was really good and hilarious! here are some pics i took along the way, but i didn't really take much though.

This is cool right? these statues are like that! i didn't minimize the photo or anything.

There, this is the ticketing office, didn't get to take much photos cause there were way too many people around.

This is the stage before the performance, i didn't take with flash so not very clear and stuff.

And this is the stage after the performance, notice that the floor is very untidy?? there's a lot of those balls around that we see in fun dazzle! I took a green one! they threw all these at us towards the end of the perfomance! All in all, it was pretty good, and really really funny, i enjoyed it!

So as i was saying, we weren't provided transport back which was really irritating, but i guess we got to explore around the area. We're at city hall! literally the city hall of the city hall drama okie? Cool photos all around, do take a look!

This is cool right? whatever this thing is? anyway, this thing keeps moving! keeps moving the hammer up and down!

See the billboard!! ANYCALL! woot!

Oh and this place is unclear, do u see some statue right smack in the middle? Its like a ancient warrior kind of thing. Anyway, soleha told me that this is part of the place where the shooting of the seoul mv took place. Its not all that clear but there are fountains around the statue area. So its actually the place where Shindong and Sunny are, Sunny bringing the small kids, then Shindong was directing the traffic, that's the place, got it? =)
