Sunday blue

This is truly funny!

-

Went to swim for the first time after 3 months. The day was still early for me. It was 10am. Swam for 30 minutes non-stop for 700m.

Then after that went to eat Korean lunch at Dasarang, SS15 alone. Had Kimchi Deopbap (Fried kimchi pork with rice). It came in a set at RM16.90.



The taste of the kimchi mixed well with the pork. But it's very very spicy and the amount was too big I had to waste some of the side dish that came along with the set. When I almost finished the meal my tongue was too painful from the spicy kimchi that I had to order a cup of green tea to sooth it.

The food was tasty. The drink was nice too. The swim was refreshing. The sunshine was cheerful. I was supposed to enjoy all these but it didn't cheer up my depressed mood. Too bad.

Maybe need more swim? Or Korean meal?

Weekend fun

Weekend was really relaxing and fun!

Stayed over at aunt's house, had good chats with Zhuang and Mei. Then this morning went to MidValley for speed shopping with them. I described it as speed shopping because we reached there at 10am and be back with our shopping bags at 12.30pm.

Played with make-ups with Zhuang and Mei for the whole afternoon. =P We shared lots of laughters. Being with them is always fun =)

We took quite a lot of photos too. Some are quite nice so I'm thinking of sharing it here la... =P


Very hard to make-up with a single and a double eyelid lo. So this is the best I can get.. Noob, I know.. lol..




Zhuang took a photo of me when I was applying lip gloss

Then Zhuang suggested me to pout my lips for a sexy pose.


But, I think I look like a pissed off dumb ass instead. lol..

Thanks for the birthday treats =)

Had a blast before and during my birthday. =)

Last Sunday the girls pre-celebrated my birthday for me. We went to Alexis, Bangsar for dinner. I had Spaghetti carbonara, addicted to pasta already. lol.. The ambience was comfortable. The company was fun. We took a few photos but the photos are still with Get Pei. Hehe.. So cannot show here yet until she shares on Facebook. After the dinner, we went for some shopping at the boutiques nearby. Helped Audrey to look for dress for her friend's wedding.

I received a huge handbag from the girls as birthday present! Love it! Because it's white!



-

During my birthday my colleagues celebrated for me at Secret Recipes. We had a 1kg Chocolate Indulgence too. I had Irish Lamb Stew. I'm very disappointed with the quality of the food. The texture feels like can food. The spaghetti there is much more better than the lamb.

I was busy eating the food. Forgot to take the photo of my lamb stew.

I only snapped a photo of Ain with her lasagna. Hehe..



Anyway, despite the food, thanks for the company and the effort to celebrate with me! =)

Received a box of chocolate from my colleague from a Swiss chocolate company




Whoa! I love chocolates so much! These are too beautiful to be eaten. lol

After work, I had a 100% Korean style dinner with my Korean classmate, Alec, at Dasarang SS15. It was his treat. Really wanna thank him for introducing such nice food to me. I've dine in in Korean restaurant for 2 times before but never had I tasted such delicious ones. Maybe the previous one I didn't know how to order or the restaurants were not as good as Dasarang.

I didn't know he ordered this seaweed soup until the waiter served us. So touched! Coz Koreans eat seaweed soup on their birthdays. I feel totally like a Korean on my birthday!




And the seasoned ribeye was perfect!


Last time when I had BBQ beef in a Korean restaurant I didn't know the proper way of eating it. I just took the beef and stuff into my mouth.

The proper of eating the BBQ meat is:
1. Dip the meat in the chilli sauce called kojujang
2. Place the meat on the lettuce
3. Place a piece of cooked onion



4. Finally wrap it and stuff into the mouth.

The ribeye was very juicy and it was well-seasoned. It tasted so sweet until when I drink the Kimchi soup I feel it was bitter.



Despite the bitterness after having ribeye the Kimchi soup was nice! It has the special fermented taste in it. Very special. It's so so different from the taste of those instant Korean noodles!


Alec also ordered fried glass noodles (炒冬粉). He said coz Chinese celebrate the birthday by eating fried glass noodle. Erm? Not rice noodle (面线) meh? Anyway, the portion of the fried glass noodle was too big. We could not finish it. Summore it's just so-so. Like normal fried mee only.


Was so happy and touched with the tasty Korean meal. Smile until my dimple came out. lol.. I didn't know I have dimple! o.O"

When we couldn't finish the food on the table, Alec asked the waiter to serve me a piece of chocolate brownie from Starbucks. I almost fainted when I saw it coz I dun think my stomach can fit the cake lo...


But this cake is so tasty that I finished it up without feeling like throwing up. lol. It's not very sweet, the taste of the sesame and mashmallow blends in the chocolate sponge cake and chocolate cream topping nicely. Tasted so much better than the chocolate indulgence from the Secret Recipe (I'm gonna stop eating Secret Recipes cakes already coz their standard had gone down so much)

It was an eye opener experience eating totally Korean-ish Korean meal. 고마워요~!

After dinner went to yamcha at Starbucks with Soon and chat chat chat non-stop. Thanks for the treat =) But was damn tired by then and almost fell asleep when chatting. lol..

Sorry girls for ruining your surprise plan for me that night but your intention had touched me already =)

One Sweet Day - 장연주

Presenting my all time favourite song. Also my current ringtone. =)

One Sweet Day by Jang Yeon Ju(장연주). Took very long time to find this song in Youtube because all I could find was One Sweet Day by Mariah Carey.



햇살이 파도처럼 부서지는 이 아침
두 눈 비비고 큰 기지개
오늘은 어제보다 이만큼 더 행복할 거야
One sweet day

부드런 바람은 니 손길 날 간지럽혀
향긋한 꽃 내음은 너의 향기
나를 웃게 하는 마법

난나나 난나나 나나 난나나 나나
everyday sweet day
상큼한 너의 입술이 나의 두 볼에 닿을 때처럼

싱그런 초록 잎이 반짝이는 이 거리
자전거타고 또 한바퀴
어쩌면 너 하나로 내 모든 게 달라졌을까
One fine day

지나는 사람들 나무들 모두 다 안녕
푸르른 하늘과 사랑하는 니가 있는 지금 좋아

난나나 난나나 나나 난나나 나나
everyday fine day
이렇게 너와 둘이서 멋진 오늘을 함께 할거야

한 걸음 한 걸음 다가 오나봐
눈이 시리게 높은 하늘만큼 너를 사랑해

난나나 난나나 나나 난나나 나나
everyday sweet day
상큼한 너의 입술이 나의 두 볼에 닿을 때처럼

난나나 난나나 나나 난나나 나나 좋은 일들만
꿈처럼 내게 다가온 너와 단 둘이
everyday sweet day


If I manage to memorize this song, I'll be really proud of myself. =)

Mooncake festival mood - 기분이 좋아예요 =)

Yesterday just sat for my Beginner 2 Korean Exam. I got 98% for this exam! Actually I think my speaking part has many grammar mistakes. But maybe because I instantly corrected it Kim Sonsengnim didn't deduct my marks I guess.

Now I finished Beginner 2, next stage will be Elementary 1. But currently need to save money for some maintenance fees for the car. So, I have to stop the Korean class for a while, maybe few months. Sigh.. I scare by that time I will forget every Korean words.

Is there any Korean friend wanna practice Korean with me? I can teach English in return. =P

Anyway, Korean Elementary 1 level will not start so soon. They will have to collect at least 6 applications before opening the next class. Last night, all of us sat there motionlessly in the class after sonsengnim informed us that we can leave the classroom. That Beginner 2 had ended. We are gonna miss her so much!

I broke the silence with 선생님,전화번호가좀주세요 (sonsengnim, chonhoabonhoga chumshuseyo). And then teacher corrected me that it should be 선생님,전화번호가몇번이에요? Alamak, even last sentence also say wrongly. That was learned in Beginner 1. =.="

I just finished the Korean drama 식객 (Sik gek/食客/The Grand Chef). It's a very nice drama talking about not forgetting the roots and humanity. =) Very inspiring drama.

After watching too many episodes of this drama, the instant noodle I cook also look different. lol...

From this vegetarian herb noodle


I add some real herbs in and made the real herb noodle. It tasted sweet instead of the salty taste I first tried this soup! (I only added half packet of the seasoning powder)


Summore go and arrange the herbs nicely on top. Had too much drama already. lol..

-

It's mooncake festival today! Can't wait to go for the gathering at my aunt's house. I miss the talking, tea drinking, mooncake tasting, candles and lanterns lighting, and the laughters. =)


These are the mooncakes made by mum. Sigh. I want more mum's mooncake. =( This year only had one. Not enough...
