Time for a good update!! :) I realise I tend to get lazy when I have more time on hand instead, haha! SOOOO...Ended my exams on thursday, which is like FINALLY!!! Haven't taken 5 final exams for the past two sems, and at such a long stretch too! In the past my exams always seem to end quite early; shortens the torture!!! But oh well, I've survived through this round :) Performance wise...pray hard for the best is all I can say. HA!
Went to the library on thurs, wanted to borrow some books to "improve" my intellectual level. Heh heh. There was this guidebook for learning basic Korean Language, but it comes with a dvd, and I gotta be a premium member of the library to borrow it. I can't even borrow the book by itself, HUMPH. To be a premium member, you have to pay $21 membership fee a year. I know it may not seem much, but honestly, I have NEVER borrowed dvds from the library, and I totally don't see the need to (except for that dvd that comes with the guidebook). The librarian was saying that the library has other dvds that I can borrow to watch too, but aiya, I really doubt I would. I would rather spend the $21 to buy a new book; one that I can refer to anytime I want, or even make notes on it. But anw, I still found the book quite useful, so I decided to photocopy! Haha :P Yah yah I know all that about plagarism, lecturers have been drilling that into our brains since year 1. I only photocopied 1 chapter ok! (Though I'm not too sure if it is more than 10% of the book). Hoho.
I also borrowed this book by Josephine Cox, called "Songbird". I loooooove books by Josephine Cox!!!!!!! I can proudly say that I've read ALL her books that I can find at my community library; I always check out her section everytime I go to the library. I must admit, the collection of her books there is really quite limited, but I think I've already read about half of all the books she wrote. Her style of writing is not the very intellectual type(do pardon me), at least I don't expect to learn big words or big concepts from her books. However, the way she writes is very vivid and enrapturing, I often feel as if I can see the whole scene unfold in front of my eyes. Her descriptions are really wonderful, and her stories always manage to tug at the heart. Her storylines tend to be a little similar though, such that the main characters always go through many many hardships and misery before shining through. However, ALL the storylines are sooooo captivating, I simply love them! The language she uses is abit like "old english", hmmm I don't really know what's the best description, but it's just not like the modern english normally used in books. Whenever I read all that the main characters have to go through, really, anyone of us would feel lucky and fortunate for all we have in our lives. :) I always find it so hard to stop halfway, cos i so want to know what happens next! And I should say, her plots are always so well thought out, there are many surprises along the way. Not to mention that her stories are so inspiring, they teach me so much about life. Nothing fancy nothing big, just simple things about life. Her books are super good for relaxing, so if you want to read something that is simple and good, to feel as if you live together with the people in the books, do try Josephine Cox!!! :) Highly recommended!! :D
Went Kbox with yy yest, sang from 2-6, shiok ah!! Haha! Have been thinking of kboxing since a long time ago, and finally I satisfied the "craving"!! Hahaha..But! Still not enough la, hehe :P Looking forward to more kbox gatherings!!! wheee! :) Met up with suona friends after that for dinner, including chu he lao shi! Haha. We went Miao Yi, which is at Coronation Plaza. I've been there a few times before, so I knew that their food is not too bad. It's a vegeterian restaurant by the way, but the way that they cook their dishes are delicious, kind of like eating real meat actually. Yum! We went to have dessert after that, at this cafe that sells gelato ice-cream. Can't rmb the name of the shop, but their ice-cream was yummy!!!I liked the coconut flavour; the taste was so rich and creamy, and there were real bits of coconut. I chose hazelnut, which tasted like Kinder Bueno!Haha! Yummy too! :) Lao shi shared alot of his experiences and knowledge, and I was telling Karin that he seems to have this HUGE vessel of knowledge in him, which he spills a little to us everytime. It's kinda amazing really, and I feel as if I learn alot from him. Though I must admit that he kinds of goes on and on and on and on........Ha! :P But I guess it's our fortune to be able to share some of his knowledge :)
