It was only 5 minutes after the ending credits finished rolling before realization hit me: it's all over.

In comparison with the first scene of the pilot episode which started with a bang, this last scene for the drama is almost quiet, peaceful, but more importantly tranquil. I feel at ease, though 心里很是不舍···

Finally, I see light at the end of the tunnel of my proposed South Korea trip.

Signing up for the elementary course was the first step, $105 for 10 lessons is pretty reasonable, earning money for the trip will be the second.

One of these days, I'm going to step into Incheon airport without a tour guide! How else am I going to visit the filming locations I've seen in dramas if I join tours? I don't think I'll want to visit locations for Jewel in the Palace (though I enjoy watching, but was never a fan) or Winter Sonata only...

South Korea, see you there in one or two years time (hopefully)... Till then, it's more dramas for me! Muahahahaha!!!

"High class" road bully

The next time you cross the pedestrian crossing between Bugis Junction and Bugis Village, beware of road bullies!

It doesn't take one who swerves in front of you, gets off his car and starts punching you to be considered a road bully. Apparently some idiots think they can just beat the red lights by honking their way through when there is still a stream of pedestrians crossing and a good 15 seconds left before it turns red man.

I really do have to thank God (though I don't know which one) to be alive writing this now!

SFL4180C-Silver-Mercedes! (Wow, I still remember the license plate number even though I only recited it once) Mercedes don't own the road, all right?! And yes, I'm cursing you now, one of these days you'll be caught on camera!

2 months and 2 weeks

Today is the 74th day anniversary since I decided to stop using MSN; haha I know it's a weird number, but who cares? But surprisingly, even without MSN, I'm still spending plenty of time online.

I've been keeping myself busy subtitling and uploading videos for My K-Station, and also updating on the drama I'm currently watching, Yi San. (now Soff, don't say I never advertise ar)

For the past 9 months, Mondays and Tuesdays have been sort of an indicator on my mood for the week, why? 'cos Yi San is aired on those 2 days in Korea! HAHAHAHA!!! I can still remember vividly, two months ago, after watching a particularly sweet episode, the euphoria lasted for the rest of the week!

边拍边播, that's what's good about Korean dramas, it keeps you occupied for months, and more importantly keeps you on tenterhooks week in week out because you'll only get to know the ending when it airs. But the downside is, as an audience, it's physically and mentally draining, especially so for a sageuk (historical drama).

Two more weeks to finale, and I'm very glad that it's coming to a close after all these months. But what follows is a sense of hollowness. Yi San has been part of my life for 9 months, now what am I going to do when it finally ends? Call Soff again to cry? HAHA! That doesn't sound me.


On a different note, something else to update over here at Wintery Spring. (HAHAHAHA!!! don't bother clicking, you'll be redirected here again :p)

Went out with 4-half last Saturday:

Cammy's skills deteriorated with a new camera?

I always enjoy myself in the company of these girls, 'cos I've experienced many "firsts" with them, last saturday was no exception. First time on a nightrider home, what's the term for SBS's? Anyway, it was a bit eerie hearing the clocking of my heels as I walked home, and I still "obediently" waited for the green man before crossing the road. (wa, so proud of myself -.-)

Looking at this photo (grabbed from Cammy's blog), I'm pretty amazed that my collarbone is getting that prominent. I heard that collarbone associates with how skinny you are, so does that means I've slimmed down?

Apparently, the weighing scales agree with the above notion, but the mirror always tells me otherwise. Perhaps I should just use my collarbone as indicator from now on? *shrugs*
