Went to CQ's place today for lunch and took a look at coco his miniature poodle cause he wants to give us his dog. I always wanted a dog, a breed like shetland sheepdog and poodle is the last thing on my mind cause poodle always portrait a very "act high class" feel and some look very ugly for their weird trimming. I know that poodle is the second smartest dog in the world but I din know till what extend until CQ tell me about his experience with the dog and his dog look nothing like what I mention above haha. I still have not decide to adpot coco or not cause is a big decision, I even went to buy 2 books on dogs to read about them especially on barking and toilet cause these 2 problems might force my parents to put coco among their seafood display in their store.

I went with sis to her hosting event for a new singapore singer Nick,姚俊羽. It was a small event with his fans but it felt more like a family gathering with powerful connections in the media industry, haha. His uncle was a director in a recent drama in channel 8 and Julian Hee is his cousin. When this singer start introducing himself he sound like an amateur but when he started singing..wah... really different and it makes me want to have a good voice like him.

Anyone who wants to play mahjong please look for me, I am super desperate to play!!

Finally got a new phone and data plan. I bought a HTC phone again and so many friends asked me why not choose iphone or samsung because these phones are the trend now and some even laughed at me for using a ulu brand hahaha. Actually there are a lot of good phones out there just that they are not "branded" so most people wont even bother finding out about them. After having data plan i realized that it is really a conversation stopper because I became busy checking emails, whatapp ppl, instagram, facebook etc. I wonder how I survived in Korea for 2 years without it when everyone around me has unlimited data plan.

Have been going to some high end restaurant with sis for lunch these few days and I get to see how the rich society behaves. In my impression the rich are very well manner and polite, a role model for us normal poor souls to look upon. But I was wrong. Some behave as if the whole world owes them, demanding silly stuff that will make me roll my eyes. Kind of disappointed :(

It has been more than a month since I last blogged. So many things happened and sad to say that I left Korea in a terrible state. I wasnt able to walk around yongin and take photos as planned and I couldnt say my last goodbye to the shop owners around my area. The last winter was a very terrible memory for me :(

Anyway continuing from my last entry, my secondary school friends came Korea to visit me at the end of december. We went Jeju and while all my Korean friends told me that Jeju is much warmer than mainland Korea, i realized it was a scam THEY ARE ALL LIARS!!!! The wind in Jeju is 他妈的强 (pardon me for my language here, I cant find any better word to describe it) and wind in cold weather is really lethal. If you have hair problem Jeju is definitely not the place for you because you may lose half or all your hair thanks to the wind and dont bother putting wax or hair spray, they are useless in Jeju. I will never ever go Jeju in winter again. When we returned to mainland Korea, the weather became mad.. it dropped till -17. When I thought I was already "winter proof" in Korea -17 was really crazy. Now I understand why Koreans say that they will just stay at home and not go out during winter.

My worst nightmare started when my friends left Korea, my room heater broke down!!! Now when I think back I wonder how I survived the night in that room...and finally I felt sick for the first time during my 2 years Korea stay, just few days before going to London. If is not for Chaelim's help I think I would have die in Korea. I am really grateful to chaelim and her mum for letting me stay at their place before leaving Korea. I was really touched and amazed by their parents because I was so sick and they really took care of me. Is something that not everyone can do to a stranger. I hope that if I am a parent in future, I can be as good as them.

London trip (to be continued..)
