Kim Yuna

Anyone been following the Winter Olympics?
Well, regardless, lets put all the curling, skiing, luge and ice hockey aside,
and let me introduce you to a certain figure skater.

Kim Yuna

Yes, she's Korean.

Anybody who follows the sport would know her since she's the reigning world champion,
and pretty much everyone, agrees that she's the best in history.
Anybody who follows Korean shows enough must also have at least seen or heard of
her name at least once.

This princess does everything. She's best in her sport, turning her into a pop icon in Korea, having made so many endorsements, appearing in commercials, made appearances in variety shows, and even sang a duet with SNSD's Taeyeon. No shit, she can sing and dance.

Commercials for Samsung and more...

Appearance on Infinity Challenge, one of Korea's most highly rated variety shows.
Look at how excited MC Yoo is... LOL

Duet with the equally adorable Taeyeon.
I think Taeyeon is her fav singer.

Dancing to Hip Hop

Skating to "Dont Stop The Music"
Rihanna (who was in Korea recently) even thanked her for using the song.

She does all that, and she speaks fluent English.
Is she your ideal girl yet?

By now you must have drawn conclusions that i'm obsessed with this girl or something.
And while that may be true, Kim Yuna opened my eyes to many other sports that are featured in the Winter Olympics. I never tot they would be so entertaining.

Now the ladies figure skating events just started yesterday and news is that Kim Yuna broke the Olympic World Record. I dont have ESPN so all I can do is wait for Channel 5 to show the highlights, then wait for someone to upload it on YouTube.

Meanwhile i shall re-read and re-watch wadever i have posted here.... again and again and again

chinese new year

Happy Lunar New Year to everyone!

I just learned that Chinese, Koreans, Vietnamese, Mongolians and Tibetans
all share the same New Year day. So i said "Lunar" instead of "Chinese".
Way to kill 5 birds with 1 stone huh?

I hear Starhub opened up all channels for the holidays.
Good for you guys, cuz all ive been watching was Channel 5 and 8.
I have MiO but even if THEY opened up all channels,
i still think there isnt anything nice to watch at all, is there?

pld, rmt test

I got owned by 2 papers today.

PLD was plain tricky. I got deceived by an unusual character which agonizingly looked like
an equal sign. It wasn't, and just because of that, a large portion of my answer is probably incorrect.

RMT was just a really sad story. All questions were on Junction 8. And i've never been there b4 my whole life. Its a good thing i read something about dat mall b4 i went to school today.

I saw my NCC junior Wei Yang in the same lecture hall today, taking the RMT test.
Yet more evidence of how small this world is.

In other news...



i really want this...

a good day

I reached home today and suddenly realised what a good day this has been.
Not a great day. But just good. Smooth sailing, refreshing, tantalizing.

No bus woes today. 195 arrived reasonably while 75 took less than a minute.
Had a mini "adventure" on learning how to use the library's printer with Shahril.
We're students about to enter year 3, but we knew nuts about getting our papers printed.

Entered the classroom being "fashionably" late.
Lecture practically ended as soon as we entered and the group presentations followed.
We were the last group to present so couldnt leave early. But i didn't mind.
It was the last class together and i'm kinda sentimental.

Eye candy came in some time after me. That much later; that much more fashionable.
A sight to behold. Won't be seeing her too many times i guess.
Moments later the door in front of me suddenly opened automatically.
I jumped on my seat. The class laughed. But for a moment i tot i was being the target of a mafia shoot and run. Think 'Godfather'

My presentation went smoothly; even had time to joke with the lecturer.
And also time to make glances towards the other eye candy. heh

After class went back to GESS.
Here onwards, i met so many people.
My Part A Platoon Sergeant from back when I was sec 1 boarded 16 a stop before the one i alighted at. It was a very short conversation.
But i felt that we caught up so much.
Told him about Chi Jie being the first one of us enlisting today.
On the way out of the bus i accidentally stepped on a lady's foot.
Sincerely apologized, and she sincerely forgave with a smile.

My mind was overloaded with NCC memories after my chance meeting with Nicholas.
At the security guardhouse of GESS, the guard enthusiastically told me to head on in without even needing the visitor's pass. It made me feel that i'm still welcomed in the GESS family.

Checked on the status of Annual Camp's preparations. Not that good, but we'll catch up.

Saw lots of familiar faces; Raymond and Sin Hua to name a few.
Glad to see there are others taking time out to help out the alma mater.

The guard waved us goodbye and opened the gate for us on our way out.

Had dinner then with Rahim, Wai Leong and Benny.
Mr Beh happened to be passing by. He then settled and had dinner with us, along with
giving us his fries.
That was when Alex came by as well. Always good to see an NCC senior/acquaintance.

Had a lengthy chat session with Mr Beh and the rest over kopi treated by him.
Impressed with Mr Beh's never ending plans to travel the world.
He plans his life really well i think.
Talked about lots of things.
And while doing so, saw other familiar faces who were walking by Bengawan Solo.
In this case, Ryan Chow and Zhao Feng and the bball guys.

10pm, waited for 195 with Wai Leong who was nice enough to accompany me until my bus arrived. In the bus, didnt notice i was standing next to Meixian until halfway thru the journey.
Walked our way home while catching up as well.
Seems like the only thing i talk to her about whenever i see her is school.
Her brother got into my course but is currently waiting for appeal results.

Reached home and chatted with Meixian's mom who happened to be downstairs.
She always talks about her son.
And even more so since i may well be his senior soon.

Ah Peng then appeared. He's Yi Fan's uncle. Yi Fan used to live at my block. Back then, all of us were a group of neighbours who played catching at the playground together.
Again, the memories rushed in.
Short chat with Ah Peng before the lift arrived.
He mentioned i got taller.
U wont know how much that means to me. :)

Nothing extravagant happened today.
Instead it was the small things that made me happy.
And looking at all the problems and issues i've been facing lately,
i think things are finally starting to get better.

Man, today was a good day.

Muse in SG

There was a time when I said to myself that I would never miss a Muse concert, live in Singapore.
The opportunity came in 2007, and i ended up giving it a miss.

Then, I vowed to never ever miss a Muse concert if it would ever come by again.
I'm not a man of my word I guess...
Well, I guess going to concerts are expensive and I'm kinda like always lacking in cash.
Funny how I've already booked a ticket for Brown Eyed Girls live in SG, costing me $98.

I heard there was a 3 hour wait for Muse yesterday.
They were supposed to arrive at 7pm but only arrived at 10pm I believe?
That wouldn't have been pleasant...

I suddenly remember the more than 5 hour wait i went through
just to get close to Brown Eyed Girls and yet missing the meet and greet by standing in line
later than just 30 people or so.
That, was also not pleasant...

1 year station

Hello people! After such a long time i'm back, and for no apparent reason!
Instead of creating a new blog, i just settled with using the old one, except
i changed the template to the one i had on my China blog.
I'm not familiar with all these HTML stuff so i really dont know what to do
with those archive stuff and all. Plus, it looks kinda messy,
but i'll be using this until i find myself bothering about finding something better.

Lots of stuff happened in my life in the period between this post and the last.
But i'm not gonna go through all those right now am I?

What I'd like to do is to make a belated reflection on the year 2009.
2009 is in many ways a milestone year for me.
Lots of changes, lots of developments, and also lots of issues.
At any rate, I hope 2010 will be an even better year.

I've got no school today so i actually went down to town with the intention
of at least buying one item. Eventually, I found nothing suitable. I don't know what
to blame. My small size, or the retailers who don't stock up enough 'S' sizes.
I hope the shopping trip with SBU will be a more fruitful one.

And that, ladies and gentlemen, is my first update in 2010. Have a nice day....
