I was in Myeongdong today and when I saw the koreans carrying christian banners (the kind where it wrote "you go hell if you dont believe in Jesus") around I cant help to think about the city harvest church incident.

50 million. Seriously?

Is hard to believe that people are donating so much so the church when there are so many other less fortunate people who need help. What is the reason for donating so much to the church every month? To get more funds to have a better church? To ensure that you have a good life ahead? So that you will be blessed? So that you can go heaven? To me all these are just pure selfishness. If this is really the church teaching, I am disappointed.

If we have faith in ourselves is there a need for all these?

Went to an Asian restaurant in gangnam with chaelim and sooyoung because they have some free coupons and were craving for phd thai. Ana thanks to sooyoung who won 4 straight wins(1,000,000won) in the female vs senior knockout match, this meal was on her.

I think almost all koreans love this dish but I think the pad thai in thai express taste 5 times better than this. And the food here are so expensive!!

Tom Yum. Never ever let korean try this unless you are trying to kill him or you just hate him so much. All the koreans I know HATE this dish. I know hate is a strong word but yes, this is the perfect time to use such a word. This dish is rather disgusting to them haha, completely opposite from pad thai. Anyway it taste really good to me.

Green curry! A dish i will order when I go thai express. But i dunno why the meat and potato here are more than the curry....

Over the weekend I went to this go camp in ansan with my school friends. I was quite excited about it at first but when I reach ansan station i thought i was in south east asia because 80% of the people there look like thai or Cambodian. And standing 1 and a half hours on bus before reaching the camp site. On the way I think even the koreans were shocked because the place was very very countryside....

And I thought I was transported back to my grandparents kampong days... Is so different from yongin (the place i stay which I thought was quite bad already). I think if i die here it will take a few months before anyone smell my decay..

The camp is held in some english village and I happily thought we can only speak english in here, hahaha.

Even the direction signboards are in english!!!

Of course, no one gives a damm about speaking english here, haha. After playing 2 rounds of games we have some bbq party which lasted for about 1hour only because there were no lights in the competition area but some enthu koreans bring torch lights along so that they can continue drinking their favorite soju.

I am really amazed how korea can get so many aunty and ah ma to play go.  I dont see this in other countries. I tried to ask around but even my korean friends dunno why. Looks like I need to ask my professors.

Anyway after dinner we took a 30mins bus to get to the nearest k-box and we spend like 4 hours there. Is actually my first time going k box in korea, quite a cool experience. After that went back to our countryside dorm where we play this interesting game call "how many mosquito can you kill" and I manage to kill more than 10. Look at the beautiful blood stains on the wall..

Had my first mos burger meal in korea which turns out to be a huge disappointment.As you can see from the pic, the meat in this teriyaki chicken burger look so different and there is NO ICE MILK TEA!!! The only plus point is that is way cheaper than sg.

Went to our department semester ending party yesterday and reach home at 9am the next morning. Yes, it was crazy.. I had soju, beer, makgeolli (korea farmer wine) and vodka. If there is one thing I have learnt, it would be never drink all these different kinds of shit in one day because I end up having itchy rashes. Good thing is that they were gone when I woke up.

After the the party, 60% of the people are either drunk or knockout and I thought it would be the end of the party (maybe if is in Singapore) but it turn out that there is a round 2!! I am starting to think that i could make a small fortune just by selling alcohol in Korea. After the the second round 95% of the people are clearly drunk and yet they still want to play bowling.. Is just so funny seeing most people sleeping on the chair when waiting for their turns to bowl and is my first time seeing people fall down when not able to balance themselves during bowling. I mean if they are so tired why dont they just go home and rest?

And yes, why was I not surprise that there was a round 3 drinking session after bowling. I have also learnt that never ask anyone "are you drunk?" when they are obviously drunk because they will look at you angrily and say NO and you will start to see them sitting on the floor or roll around. And I discovered that my alcohol tolerance level is quite good because I was one of the few alive ones even after the whole event.

But I guess I wont be drinking all these shit anytime soon because the minute I see a beer bottle or soju bottle, I feel like puking.

Time pass really fast, is already the final semester exam period now. These few days were quite crazy for me not in terms of drinking but for the time I spent in school for report, exams and presentations. When I saw how late minyi stayed in nus for her project and stuff I was like "siao dont need to sleep meh?" Seriously... really dont need to sleep. I was in school from 12pm to 5am on monday doing ppt and studying for some life and death class. And on tuesday I somehow have 2 different group meetings at the same time, a very unique experience. Great that I am still alive. 3 more reports to go!

I saw 경낭 on monday carrying like 6 library books I was like wah, you are so hardworking. Then she replied "the test is open book test so I borrow all these books hoping it can help" But in the end she told me that the books were useless in the test. Muhahahaha! I have never seen anyone taking so many books to a open book test.

Finally I have some free time to blog. Have been so busy recently, leaving my house at 830am and reaching home at 12am almost everyday. So many stuff happened these past few days, not sure where to start..

A random drinking night with seungjae, sooyoung, moon kyo in a bar beside our school. I really hate the taste of soju but this drink call lemon soju is bloody nice, I am going to drink it often, haha. We somehow manage to persuade seungjae to stay over in yongin because he was thinking of catching his last bus at 8pm which is like so early! So he end up sleeping over in my place and we spend like 3 hours talking about korean language and culture, never thought this topic could be that interesting.

I am still amazed how korean can make such great desserts.

Indian food in Korea!! I think I ate more indian food in Korea than my whole life in Singapore. I dont really eat indian food in sg thanks to my mum who brainwash me by telling me that a certain race in singapore doesnt wash hand after shitting and they yet they use their bare hands to make food. Thanks mum. Anyway the indian food in korea is really good, too bad there isnt one near my place :(

The reason why I am having Indian food is because Prof Nam invited me and philip out for a dinner. During the talking session we somehow found out that the 3 of us were born in the rabbit year. OMG..prof nam is 12 years older than me!!! Anyway I was telling Prof Nam how environmental friendly korea is because they classify their rubbish and doesnt issue plastic bags and i was surprised that she dont enjoy doing the rubbish classification. I have to agree, imagine having 6 different rubbish bins in your house... Actually is a good business idea to set up a company to help ppl classify their rubbish, i am sure many ppl out there doesnt enjoy doing it too.

I think I am going to die sooner than I expect because I have been drinking beer almost everyday for the past few days thanks to the gatherings and meetings. I really dont know how people do the one shot thingy for beer because it really burns your mouth and throat, impressive... Anyway the brand CASS is not bad.

We have this picnic lesson for one of our class today and I am starting to suspect that the teacher is lazy or run out of stuff to teach so he just pay for all the snacks and talk cock with us in the field haha. Sooyoung opened one of the snack and I was like what the... isnt that dog shit?? And she keeps telling me  맛있어 맛있어 (delicious)...omg.. Good thing that the picnic mat has lots of dogs pictures and I shall prove that is really dog shit..

See!! I am right!!

Is amazing how a human being can sleep in this way. He totally look like a roast pig on aluminium foil, hahaha. He is the oldest senior in my department and if he knows that I took this pic I think he would chop off my hands.

I need to be a happier boy.

I wonder how other people managed to do it..
