My 1st & te Best Drama

          Hi guys, i'm back from the Philippines, I had some fun there, but most of all, I ate, ate, ate a lot, all in the expense of my uncles, thanks for everything! Well, now, I can't post any pics I took from my trip, cause all of it are saved in my dad's laptop, so...gotta wait, haha, sorry. For now, let's talk about a Korean drama, hahaha, I don't think I ever write about dramas, have I? Guess this will be the first one. This tv series is kinda old, telecast in 2004, based on a manhwa made by Soo Yeon Won , acted by Rain, Song Hye Kyo, Kim Sung Soo and Han Eun Jung, have a clue of what drama it is? Haha, it's FULLHOUSE! The best drama in the world(to me)! By the way, it's also the first drama i've watched, hehe...how old was I back then? Because of Full House, I continue watching dramas, but no matter how many dramas I watch, Chinese dramas, Japanese, Hong Kong, even Korean itself, none can beat Full House from my 1st place, it still reigns so high above. That's why I got fed up and bored of those dramas already, I haven't watched one for a long time. Then, in the Philippines, while I was walking through the DVD shops, of course pirated one la, haha, something in my brain just let me thought of buying Full House and watching it again, heheh, and you know me, or you don know me, I usually follow my instincts, even though sometimes it'll advice me to do stupid stuff, ha. So, I bought it, then later at midnight, I wanted to test the disc out, see if it's clear or not, it's clear(Danny, if you're reading this, it's not a gold disc, haha, but still good~~XD), and hehe, since nobody's watching tv, I continued watching, but...just for a while, cause then SUDDENLY my dad wants to watch tv, sigh...SUDDENLY come out and want to watch, cheesecake.

          Then, maybe like 1 or 2 days later, I had total free time in the hotel, mom didn't take me to the office, dad didn't take me to the convention, plus, I have the tv all to myself, muahahaha, thank you bro for playing ds that whole day, yippee yayo! Thus, I watched, but only finish, 3 episodes, haha, 1 episode 1 hour you know, kinda long eh...and the front parts are not quite as nice as I remembered it would be, it didn't made me laugh or cry yet. However, I think after these episodes, it's much more funnier and also sadder.      
          The movie is about a girl, ok, not a girl, a woman, an Internet author(write stories in the Internet), living alone in a big house, her late father built, this house is called Full House, which I forgot what's the reason for calling it that, haha, sorry, and both her parents passed away when she was very young , the cause of death?No idea. This woman is Han Ji Eun, later, she was conned by her best friend, Dong Wook and also his girlfriend, both of them her best friends telling her she got a free vacation to Shanghai, but actually this two best friends of hers are gonna have a baby soon, but they have debts and not much money to even raise a child, so their mission is to get rid of Ji Eun and sell off Full House, also using Ji Eun's credit card, plus emptying her savings in the bank, leaving only a few cents...and you call them best friends, spit on the floor, man! Pui! Well, she board the plane to Shanghai, on Business Class, and from there she met this famous Korean actor, Lee Yong Jae, who is sitting right beside her, she was shocked to see him, but after that, she also ate too much on the plane, she vomited on his sleeve, oh...that was one mistake she shouldn't have done. Anyways, they were also staying at the same hotel, oh ya, those best friends only bought the plane ticket for her, and the rest not provided, jeez, lame. Few days later, she run out of money, no more money to fly back to Korea, oh no, how?! She constantly called those two lame-os, but they didn't picked up. Few days later, she got an idea, the shirt she vomited on, she has it, Yong Jae left it on the plane, and so she decided to give it back to him, and at the same time asking for money, he refused to give her money, and she had no choice but to create a lie stating that she was once Min Hyuk's girlfriend, Min Hyuk was Y.J's close friend, kinda like childhood friend, and Ji Eun knew that guy at the hotel lobby, he helped her get a room, and somehow also told her about Yong Jae. So, with this lie, she got the money, and she managed to be back at Korea.         
          When she got back to the house, everything was gone, all her furniture, stuff, all vanished. What was happening?...then, came another day, she woke up to see people coming into her house putting new furniture in, she asked the guy in charge, and through that guy she now know that Full House has been sold. Later on, the day for the new owner to move in has come, do you know who is it? Hehehe, Lee Yong Jae, what a coincidence, ya? Well, that's drama. Ok, I gotta stop writing about this, if you wanna know what happens next, you have to watch it for yourself, hehe, you don want me to ruin all the great moments in the drama, do ya? But, I'll tell you this, at the end, you see them together, how? You have to watch it, and also, buy the DVD, you'll find yourself watching it over and over again, or then...maybe it's just me, haha.          
          Now, for a few OST songs...
1st: Geu Deh Ji Geum
...after watching Full House the 2nd time, every time I hear this song now, I'll start crying, haha, I'm wiping my tears off now, I'm so weird, getting affected by a drama, this song reminds me of the 1st time I cried watching this, when Ji Eun had an argument with Yong Jae(again), because he didn't come back the day before, he came back the next day, Ji Eun waited for him all night long, poor girl, I mean woman, then she went out to a park, sat there and think, of those happy moments she had with Y.J, that made her smile for a while, but not long after, the rain poured, she had no where to go, soon, she hid in a public phone booth, and I think there, she called Min Hyuk to come pick her up, M.Hyuk took her back to his condo, and she was too tired, she fell asleep on the sofa, M.Hyuk went to take a blanket for her, and when he was putting it on her, she shed a tear, and at that same moment, I too did the same, but shedding a little more tears than her, to me, that moment, she must be thinking of Y.J, always making her wait for him also, wishing that he won't go to the other girl, Hye Won. This song reminds of those sad parts in the drama. 2nd & 3rd: Fate and I Think I Love You, these songs are the one I remembered even when I was not watching Full House, never forget them, XD...
...
          So...I LUV this drama, because it has a very neat/tidy storyline, everything has its reason to occur, it's a very systematic drama, XD! It made me laugh & cried(a lot), it even made me cried at the last moments, the difference was i cried happy tears, ='). Add on, I LUV the name callings -chicken, bird, psycho, king of jerks, rice bowl, bastard, haha, so many. Watcing Full House is kinda easy to understand compared to other dramas, thus, it also helps me improve my korean, XDD!...One more thing, there's a phrase they always say when one of them's going through some hard time or just for fun, "aja, aja, fighting!", haha, that's what they always say, and i LUV it too! Aja, Aja, Fighting, Everyone! ❤

An Untypical Taiping Weekend

Butterfinger' Stay at Taiping. ...was not bad, though my dad complains from A to Z about the hotel we stay in, was really small, inconvenient, and have so little plug points. Well, nobody said Taiping is a well-advanced village. So, be happy with what you have, dad. On the way to my destination, my friends, Cheng, B.hee and Danny SMS and called me about our ranking, our average and how many As we got. Haha, first time I had friends calling me about our results, but it was a nice experience. Thanks to Cheng for helping me check my result while I was on the road. Cheng is ranked 13th in my class, I felt sad about it, and now I hope nobody will ever get sick during exam. I ranked 8th, I was even happier when I found out I was ranked 38th in the whole form! Yesh! As for my gang, I have full confident Cheryl is ranked 1st(well, I was wrong, it's Justin), Johnny gave me the biggest surprise when Danny told me he ranked 2nd, woo-hoo nice job, mate! And Tian Jin ranked 3rd, no surprise, he always gets 3rd or 4th. From my understanding, from 4th place to 8th, we all had the same average. How weird, right?(with the exception of Wai Loon though). Another first time I see this happening, kinda cool, haha. Anyways, we did great guys! And I hope we would still be together in the same class next year, nobody splitting up.    
          The reason why I'm in my ma's hometown that weekend is because my auntie is getting married, to be specific, my mom's dad's brother's daughter, that would be my mom's cousin, which is not close to my mom at all, got married on 12.11.11, congratz to her. Yea, but I was freaking bored that night, after eating, the night before the bridegroom meets the bride, as tradition of Hokkien clan, or maybe the whole Chinese people, the bride and bridegroom cannot meet face to face or call or text each other, haha, ok, the call and text part I made it up, I don't know about that. Anyways, I was so bored that I was so happy it's time to go back to my grandmama's place. Back there, I was so happy to know my cousin is going there too, yes! At last boredom is gonna fly away from my side, she grown even taller than the last time we met, but she is still her wacky self, never change. Though she's younger than me by 3 years, she taught me something, a game called sketch, if that is how it spelled, ha, it was a fun game, at first I thought it's gonna be complicated, but after playing it, it's addictive and easy to play. Sketch is played using poker cards, haha, reminds me of her poker cards, at the back was Disney princess, haha, imagine Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, Snow White and all those Disney princesses sitting round a table playing poker, haha, this reminds me of Shrek, one of their movies, those rough princesses.    
          The wedding day. Well oh well, a big day for the couple. For me, it was an okay day, had food as usual, the best part about weddings is that they'll have food before, during and after the wedding, the worst part today was the time the groom meets the bride. The groom and his pile of friends will do all sorts of stupid stuff before he can go in, cause the bride is suppose to be not ready yet, so they are stopped by the bride's sisters and brothers, playing games with them, making them put lipsticks, and kissing each other, by the way, those friends of the groom are all male, and we spectators will be looking at guys kissing each other on the cheek, and the last one, right on the lips. Then they had this banana which was tied around their waist, after that, both male will swing their banana to the other male side, if the other male's banana is hooked with his banana, one of them has to eat the bananas, so stupid, after watching this I walked away, cause it's stupid and also disgusting, it seems that everyone there are perverts, well, I just can't stand looking at this and enjoying it, urghh. so I sat on a chair and start eating again, since it's the morning, they offer cakes, kuih, all that sweet stuff. I enjoyed my time sitting there and eat the glutinous rice kuih, sticky and yummy...well, after they finish their perverty games, they knocked on the door, sorry, bang on the door, and shout "open the door" in Cantonese. Why in Cantonese? hello, guys, we're Hokkien Lang. At last the groom can meet his bride after a day of not seeing her, they did the Chinese tradition, zham cha, lastly kids go upstairs and take angpow, which is such a long queue....moving on, all of us went to the groom's house, fuh...his family's house is so humongous, it's like 10 times bigger than the bride's shop lot house. However, when entering the room, you find out the house is kinda small, only the outside is big, cause they had so many fish ponds and they have a big garden and carparks. Plus, this guy who owns this house is a Arowana fish seller, that's why his so rich, haha. He rears these fishes in a big fish aquarium outside his house, kinda cool. That day, my dad and mom was bored so we went back to my grandma's place and play and rest. My grandma said we can shower at her place, thanks for the offer, but we already showered in the morning. Talking about that, that shower I took in the morning was freezing cold, yea they had a water heater, but the surrounding was so cold, the water heater was not enough to make the surrounding in thermal equilibrium. I was practically like a fur ball in the shower, just letting the water run down. Getting out of the shower was the hard part, I had to off the water heater, here comes total coldness, I took my towel, and then just stood there looking at my clothes, just unable to move, but at the end, of course I decided to stop wasting my time looking and wore my clothes, which really almost killed me, having a morning shower sucks badly!
          Well, the wedding dinner, how did it go? The one thing I don't like about w.dinners are the going in and the getting out part. Going in, if you're late, ok, my family's always late, everyone goes and thought you were the bride and groom, well, we are so not. Getting out we need to shake hands first, and squeeze out to the exit, hate it, so cramp, thank goodness my dad went down and get the car ready for us to get out! Yay! The whole night was drunken talks, bad singing, horrible food and my grandma, urghh..can pengsan and she's sitting right beside me, cause my ma had an argue with her and doesn't wanna sit next to her, I also hate family issues. Whole night was my grandma thinking I'm wasting food, oh come on I don think I ever waste food ever! I just eat slower than others, so patience, grandma, of course I'll eat it, plus the forcing to eat the last bits, oh please, I'm so full already, you want me to finish that?! And so, I was a bloated fish when I came back to the hotel, just feel like laying down the bed and sleep away....
          The next day, we ate Khai See Meen(Shredded Chicken noodles) with my cousins for brunch, and went back home after that, to meet my grandparents for dinner. That weekend was done.

*Bang!* => KILL ME

          Taekwondo this/next week is all over. My training sessions and me following my parents to Philippines period is gonna clash. Everything in the same week, no choice but to sacrifice one, that is obviously taekwondo, sigh, kill me. Every year, sir will have these few sessions, kinda like POWER BOOST sessions when our last grading is near, so we'll be able to get good results. This year, I'm in trouble, for missing almost all these sessions, i hope sir will still let me take my grading, even though i'm gonna miss, hopefully i will do my best in front of him, every move right, and he'll let me pass to perform in front of Grand Master on December 4th, oh Lord, I pray I'll be discipline enough to practice everyday in the Philippines, be ready for that day. Talking about sir, Sir Bala is getting married, haha, at last, Congratulations to him...wonder when is sir Sara gonna get married too...has he found the right one, anyway?, ^^.
         
          This post looks kinda short, haha, add more stuff. Emm...ok, Report Card day on Friday. My parents already know my results, ranking, average bla bla through a website, a government website for parents to check their son's and daughter's results, ha, did they create this website cause they were afraid the students would hide their results from their parents? Who knows...well then, me and my ma still went that day, pity my class teacher and other teachers waiting for us to turn up, if we didn't, then it'll count as we wasting their time, and i do not like wasting people's time, even if i don't see eye to eye with that person, i will still not do that(maybe i should rethink about it...). Got there, got lost for a while, and finally saw my teacher. How 'lucky' I am to have my result paper right beside Justin's, my classmate who got 1st(every time..). My teacher told my mom to take mine, but my busybody mom went to compare my marks with Justin's instead, then she gave me a few 'huh?!'s, indicating 'why you so 差 one?!' and 'fuh, wau, girl', meaning 'your marks and his are so far apart, sigh'. The worst part was when she was counting how many A's he got, slowly counting 1, 2, 3...10As...my 7As broke itself into pieces...what to say during this time?Nothing, just..smile, A Big Wide Smile, and change the subject, hehe. I asked my teacher are we gonna change classes tomorrow, how happy I was when she said there'll be no streaming next year, whoever is a Creativo, forever will be one, haha, ok, she didn't say that, that's just what she said translated into my own words, haha. Anyways, YAY!!! We'll still be together next year! Woo-Hoo!!! I went home happily, but stopped by Danny's house to finally pass exam papers to him, haha, i kept it for so long.

          One more thing to tell ya, I'm gone for a week startin...tomorrow, and so, I'm not gonna blog again, sorry, but I'll post pictures(if i took any) when I come back from the Philippines, smell ya later~!  

School Again?!

          School's back, well, only for a day, to return our textbooks and maybe get some test papers back, which me and the gang did. After returning all the books, we walked round here and there, finding teachers. Me and Danny went to find physics teacher, cause I was eager to know my phys. results, even though I know it's gonna be crappy. Once we found her, she couldn't give us anything, she hasn't finish marking yet. Then, we went downstairs back to the hall, and got our bio papers, all of them, man, bio teacher's fast. My result wasn't too bad or too good, I got 67 for it, which is worse than mid-term, but somehow it didn't made me feel like saying, "why 67?! why...67 only...", and cry out boo-hoo, I felt contented with it, 3 marks more, I could get a solid B, that's next time. Later, I remembered me, Dan, Jon and...ahh B.Hee(almost forgotten him, sorry B.H) went to find chemistry teacher. She, I guess was kinda busy, maybe having more papers to mark, cause the only paper she completely finish marking was paper 1, objective paper. Oh well, the rest of the time we spend on helping her mark, counting stuff. Finish doing that, one last stop before...you'll know soon, went to the teacher's office, actually to find BM teacher, but she weren't there, so detoured to find English teacher, sigh, English, also 3 marks more I could get an A+, if not because of my bad essay writing, yea I could get it, next time then. Now, all things settled, we head off to D&J's house, haha, again, oh yea, first we need to find Jun Rong, found him, waited for a while, everybody's there already and we go. I stayed there till 3pm, cause I got tuition at 4, so need to go home early. Me and B.Hee made instant noodles(lunch) first, then we helped J.Rong and Pin to cook too, which was weird, and so, in the middle of cooking for them, I asked Hee why are we doing this, only then he realized...We're Dumb Fools. And we called them to cook for themselves, muahahahaha! Later, the whole time there I was actually watching wrestling, well, I didn't like want to watch it, but I enjoyed watching the match between Undertaker and Triple H, I can't believe myself almost falling for an addiction to WWE again, I'm so weak, haha.
          Went back to school again, that's for me and those having taekwondo only, on Thursday. I got there before 2.30pm, so I quickly went to physics teacher's office to collect our papers. When I got hold of all my phys papers, I counted my marks and I got 64, of course not my dream mark, every paper was ok, just paper 2, the essay section, I only had 14/40, totally unexpected. So, anybody know any good teachers or tutors or anybody thinking they are really good at physic essay, please tell me, on Facebook, go find Raika Rai, that's me, the one that needs help. Moving on, to taekwondo, that day we recapped all the taegueks, me red belt learning taeguek chil jang, the 7th tae. now, had to suffer from taeguek 1-6, which I forgot all of them, except the 1st one, which is the basic, at least I didn't flunk that one. Thank goodness Sir Sara wasn't there that day, or else I'm gonna be growing muscles from a whole lot of push-ups, yikes! After taekwondo was done, I called my mom if she has arrived yet, and oh yea, she's not here yet, so I used my extra minutes to collect BM test papers. Oh BM BM, was a letdown, I dropped from being on earth all the way to hell, exclude my dramatic self, in simple words, I did badly. I was worried sick for my SPM, I was so worried I'll fail Malay in SPM, I told my mom about it, and she said I need more time to study BM, before mid-term, I had no tuition for it, and it wasn't the subject I'll be afraid I'll do terribly, she also said, maybe I should think of canceling my BM tuition, so I could have more time doing revision for Malay myself, I wonder, should I take mom's advice or..not? During shower time, I managed to calm myself down, by..ha, guess, well I was calmed through singing, yea, I know, again...this time singing Drops of Jupiter by Train, this song has no connection with Malay or anything, but it was nice to sing it in the shower. Out of the bathroom, I got down thinking what should I do to improve me BM grades, huh? Haha, the only suggestion I had for myself was, go search Google, 'Bagaimanakah seseorang pelajar dapat meningkatkan markah untuk subjek BM?', stupid me, asking Google to help me think. My pop said I blogged a lot, maybe I should write a paragraph using Malay in every post...erm, actually it's not a bad idea, better than mine a million times, another question, should I? Haha, let's just see about that next year.

...and My Holiday Begins

          Just after Friday, i started doing all the things that I wanted to do so...badly during my exam days, I made a note to myself whenever I felt bored and lazy in the middle of studying, one of those things I was really eager to start was watching Supernatural again, oh yeah, this is definitely what I call holiday, spending almost the whole of my day watching it. I start from Season 3 episode 1 till the Christmas episode on..Sunday. The Christmas Special, a part Danny showed me before I knew anything about this tv series. I remembered watching this Christmas part, which is the first time I watch Supernatural, a short clip Danny shared from YouTube, he told me it's one of those touching moments, but who knows maybe this emotional moments have some ghost or demons coming out?..well, i basically kinda stick myself so tightly to the chair like superglue, I think i was able to freak out anytime, like when it's almost about to end, I was so scared something or someone will appear at the windows, I was blinking like a blinking maniac, I made it a scary moment than a touching one. Plus, after that part finished, I was so relief i'm done with it but at the same time, I have no idea what was going on. I always thought Supernatural was scary, now, I think it does has it's scary factor, you know, fighting demons and stuff, but it's more about brotherhood, family, bonds, all that lovey lovey stuff, so that's way, it has these kind of moments, that will sometimes make your heart skip a beat and you'll feel like sobbing(like my mom...). Extra information, that episode also made me understand how does Danny came out with the word 'fudge' to replace the 'f' word. Haha, I love the part when Dean used a few 'fudges' in one sentence, and the old grandma pagan god said he was improving, something like that, funny. That reminds me, Supernatural is not only loving, it's also hilarious! Seriously!               
          While watching Supernatural, I also did something on the side, yea, cool right, I'm a multi-tasker, XD. I was reading a book so boring that it took me 4 days(can be faster if not for Supernatural, LOVE it) to finish reading that Boring book, called...(I can't even remember what it's called already) something about Isla and Luke. Ok, this is actually a sequel to the 1st book, but because I bought it in a garage sale for..5 bucks? They don't have the 1st one, anyways, what the cheesecake, just buy it for fun la. WRONG MOVE, shouldn't have done that! Regret, regret, regret, nevertheless, 5 buckeroos is still $$$, I forced myself, me eyes actually, to keep on reading till the end, and I did, yay me!(urghh) So...the story, okay, the main thing is about this girl called Isla going out with this guy called Luke(sigh, *fall asleep*). During their college years, Luke's dad took them together to go vacation with him and his 2nd wife, which of course, Luke hates. But then, Luke's relationship with his new mom becomes apple peachy after their vacation, great...Let's fast forward to New Year, yea, it's the night just before new year, Isla and Luke went to their local, kinda grand bar place, Luke got drunk, super drunk, and talked rubbish in a drunken way the whole night, till the time when everyone was out of the place. And when just when Isla was ready to drag him back home, he wanted to have nachos or salsa, let's just say he wanted food, so, Isla had to carry him by the shoulder to that place. While he was eating, Isla took a photo of him eating like a man starving for a year and this is his first meal, she took this photo for her competition, some photography competition she came across in the newspapers. At the end, she gotten 1st prize for that photo she took, and it was placed right in the middle of the college hall. Luke was really upset to see this and so he broke up with her, cause he thinks she was trying take advantage on him, make him a fool...I think, dah lupa. Isla no matter what still love him very much, and he still do, even though he wanted to break up. Everyday, Isla miss him even more, and one day, she can't take it anymore! Yes, she can't! She gone nuts and did suicidal action! Ya, I just bluffed you! Haha. She didn't do that, what she did was took down that photo and paste the poem she wrote for Luke on Valentine's day. Luke was touched and at the same time, thinking if Isla is trying to show the whole world their privacy, he still thinks Isla is playing tricks on him, what?! Come on....she truly loves you, and so that guy called up the girl, and don know what happen la, they chit chit chat chat, and the end they become couple again, aww...happy ending...one piece of advice, NEVER EVER buy a book that is a full love story, and no action! Believe me, it's boring, and after that, you can't just waste money putting it a side, you have to read it, ishh ishh(words my English teacher uses when she's...well, I think she use it every time, ha).         
          If you're ever finding a love and action series, try The Kane Chronicles or Percy Jackson, haha, both by the same author, Rick Riordan, his books are the best! If you want a balance of unreal stuff and romance, try Sweep, or they also call it Wicca, you know about Wiccan magic? Yeap, this series is all about it. Talking about Sweep, I just remembered I went to midvalley and finish reading Dark Magick, it's book 4, the same day I finish reading Isla and Luke book! Haha, killing two books in one day? Ha, new proverb. Reminds me of the walk just to get to Borders, Borders is located at The Gardens, and I'm at Midvalley, though it's connected to each other, walking there was a pain in the buttocks, no, at the legs, it was tiring, my legs were almost bendable by the time I reach there. My poor legs...
           And that's my first session of HOLIDAY!!! XD
