Self Entertaining Lesson

Okay. This just one of the MANY pictures that we took while we were having Mr Danny Yeo's lesson last week. The whole series were taken by my laptop's integrated cam, so thus the low quality.

I was initially only using it as a 'mirror' to see if my fringe was out of place. And the next thing I knew, we busily posing in front of the cam and snapping away. You can't blame us for feeling so restless till the point that we had to do such a SILLY thing like this right.

It all started off pretty normal at first...

Then Aaron got even MORE bored...

So bored to the extent that he started eating paper...

Still the usual smiles and poses...

Then we got a little bit more crazy...

Aaron: Is this how you do the 莲花指?

Aaron: Yeh! I know how to de le!

怪叔叔...

Then all hell broke lose!

Aaron act cute... we also follow!

And admist all these 'excitement', Mr YT was unaware of the comotion and remained asleep...

Classic.

Rednano Skin Collection

Before video production class, I set off to SPH in the morning to collect my free laptop skin.

I approached the reception counter and sighted 2 female receptionists: one 40+, and the other is 20 or 30 plus (I can't really recall.)

I was like wearing t-shirt and shorts only and I didn't expect anyone to take much notice of me.

I started saying to one of them: Hi, I'm here to......

And I got cut off by one of them saying: Oh, you're here for the photo shoot is it?

I was caught by surprise on the spot. How much I really wanted to say YES!

But in the end I had to disappoint her by saying: Er no. I'm just here to collect my REDnano laptop skin.

GRRR.

How I WISH.

I was waiting for like 10 minutes for bus 157 to arrive outside the SPH. And when one finally came, I was like: Thank god you are finally here!

So I just boarded it and complacently found a comfy place to sit and began one of my sms-ing session. After a few minutes, I knew I had to look up because I heard some murmurs and grumbling coming from the other commuters. They were sorta in a little commotion with the bus uncle. And I was staring at them like: Huh? What in the world just happened?

And then I realised that the bus didn't even leave the bus-stop at all. -.-

WTH. I looked around at the others and was wondering if someone could enlighten me on what was going on.

By this time there was already a little queue formed in front of the exit door. Then the bus uncle started to print out tickets from the red and blue machine. I thought to myself: Okay, don't tell me that I've gotta get off the bus too.

My suspicions were confirmed when the Indian guy sitting opposite me started to stand up and say to me: Aiya, the bus just broke down...

Then I just gave him a bitter smile and agreed with him, still unwilling to accept the fact that I had to WAIT for another bus to come and save us. Having already tapped my ez-link card doesn't bother me, since I have already bought concession. But damn it, I've gotta WASTE TIME and WAIT for another blooody bus to come. And yeah, I'm gonna be late for class at this rate!!!

Firstly, my bus broke down. And now this: I missed getting down at the King Albert Park's bus stop! And the next bus stop is a one-way traffic, so there was no 'opposite bus-stop' for me to get back to KAP.

And so the only feasible way was to get a cab. Eh, I wanted to save money de leh. And now I've got to pay more than 5 bucks for the cab fare. Just from Bukit Timah Plaza area to NP! The cab meter says it's $5.20, but the uncle tells me still have to pay 30cents more. I was like: Eh, uncle, I've just read last week's newspapers and they say that taxi companies cancelled off the 30-cent oil surcharge leh.

FINE. I'm late already (even if it's that 5 minutes), I don't wanna argue with him just for that mere THIRTY CENTS.

After I finish 2 presentations this thursday, Global Issues lecturette in the morning, and radio presentation in the afternoon, I'll a a few steps closer to feeling less stressed-out.

Korea Festival Opening Ceremony

Yesterday was the Opening Ceremony of Korea Festival 2008. Lucky me and my omma arrived at Vivo City early, if not we will not be able to get any good seats.

There were many many koreans, ranging from members of the Korean Community to family members of the ambassadors from the Embassy of Korea.

Hosted by Channel NewsAsia's Suzanne Jung, the ceremony begins with welcome
greetings from Minister George Yeo and Ambassador Kim. Enjoy sizzling
performances from B-Boy and drum troupes, followed by the symbolic mixing of a
'Big Bowl of Bi-Bim-Bap' to signify harmonious ties between Singapore and Korea.
Bi-Bim-Bap will be served to guests after the ceremony.

Fusion Drum Performance by Dodo. 5 Korean ladies delivering the rousing heartbeat of traditional Korean drum performance.

B-Boy Showdown by Last For One. They were the winners if the 2007 World UK B-Boy Championship.

Their sensational moves thrilled everyone!

Next, there was Bi-bim-bap mixing! It's the largest scale seen in Singapore so far...

The VIPs getting ready to mix up the ingredients. It is enough to feed 500 hundred people.

But of cause, the VIPs won't mix the ingrdients REALLY well, so we still have a few chefs doing some final touch-ups...

You may be thinking: Who on earth would eat such disgusting-looking food?!

Mind you. This bibimbap is exactly 24 differents ingredients mixed up together. What do you expect it to look like?!

The angle of this photo makes it look as if the portion is little, but actually it's quite a lot!

Yes, It's spicy due to the red pepper paste. But this kind of hotness is sill more endurable than the red chilli kind of hot. Well, at least I didn't have to drink water to reduce the spicy feeling in my mouth.

But anyway it's still yummy! If you leave out the part where the Singapore Foreign Affairs Minister and his wife had a go in doing the initial mixing, this is AUTHENTIC Korean food okay.

Lee Young Ae wore it...

Angela Zhang Shao Han wore it too!

And so am I wearing the Physician Lady's hanbok! :D

This is what the queen (on the left) wore in the drama.





And my omma wearing it too! Hah. My QUEEN.

I think this is the only scene where you can see Jang Geum wearing the third-rank official hanbok, together with the queen...

And so you see it again!

The royal descendents. Hah.

I'm a happy Korean girl :D

After that 'little' photoshoot session, I was approached by a cameraman. (Obviously a korean.) I was interviewed for a few minutes: How did I feel wearing the costume, why did I choose this particular one, blah blah blah. It's either one of these 3 Korea TV stations that interviewed me: SBS, KBS, MBC.

Woots! I'm a lucky girl XD
