I'm already underweigh, I know
So
My dieting is not for weigh-reducing
But
For a healthier body

Very simple rules,
3 No's/Less'es and 3 More's:
- No fried food
- No spicy food
- Less rice
- More vege
- More fruits
- More plain water

Yup:)

And to reduce "unseen" fats
More walking and sit-ups starting today!!

Muahahahaha...
Let's see if I get healthier after 1 month
I'll be back :)

이유

한류스타 좋아하는 이유있다.
첫째, 이준기.
이준기 좋아하는 이유는 연기가 훌륭하며 웃는눈 되게 예쁘기때문이다.
둘째, 에프티아일랜드.
에프티 좋아하는 이유는 이홍기 노래할때 느껴지는 슬픔과 감동때문이다.
셋째, 투에이엠.
투에이엠 좋아하는 이유는 노래 아니라 멤버들은 너무 활발하기때문이다.
마지막, 성시경.
왜냐하면, 일단 목소리.
노래할때의 목소리가 아니고 평소에 가지고있는 목소리과 사랑에 빠졌다.
특히 라디오방송의 마지막 인사 "잘자요".
으악~ 그 "잘자요"... 정말... 그 "잘자요"는 마음을 녹일정도 매력적이다.
근데, 성시경은 목소리밖에 볼만하는 것 없는것같다.
외모 없고 몸도 안좋고 그냥 나이가 좀 있는 한 아저씨가수 같다.
근데 요즘 다른 매력을 발견했다.
프로그램 다닐 때마다 시청자들이나 청중들을 많이 웃게 하더라.
고려대 졸업생인지 그래서 술 아주 잘 마시는 발라덜
여자아이돌그룹을 좋아한 제대군인
서흘세살인데 아직 결혼못하는 아저씨
그래...다 성시경이다.
근데...그는 한 십이년 전에 데뷔드했단더라.
십이년 전에 뭐 좀 잘 생겼네.
그때는 턱선도 뚜렷했네.
에이구 새월이 참 잔인하다.
그래...나도 점점 나이있구나 "삼촌돌"을 좋아하는 거보니..

SUNG SI KYUNG 成始璄

아ㅏㅏㅏ 성시경 목소리에 빠졌다ㅏㅏㅏㅏ
노래할 때 하는 목소리보다 말할 때 하는 목소리 더 매력적이어서
푸우우우욱 빠졌다ㅏㅏㅏ
아ㅏㅏㅏ 난 미쳤다
난 그 아저씨가 좋아ㅏㅏㅏ

Had been learning Korean in NUS since year 2008 Aug...
And the first ever Korean song that I learnt
wasn't Nobody
wasn't Gee
wasn't Three Bears
but
Sung Si Kyung's "On the Street 거리에서"
(the first song on the playlist playing on the left sidebar now)

When learning this song in class
our lecturer told us that he's an idol during her times
now an Ajussi

I wasn't interested in the singer at all that time
So even though I know how to sing the song (without knowing the meaning of the lyrics)
had been singing it for 3 years,
I didn't bother to remember the name of the singer

Till few weeks ago when watching the variety show 2D1N
one of the special guest that showed up was a "seemingly famous" ahjussi singer
which I couldn't recognise at all
until...
during one of the episode, the song "On the Street" was played as background music
and I just like

"WAIT!!! IS THIS SUNG SI KYUNG THE "SUNG SI KYUNG" THAT SINGS THIS SONG?!!!"

OMG!!!!

A handsome ahjussi? No, don't be cheated by this photo, he's not really THIS handsome actually :P
And he once used to be quite fat, shot up to 100kg before,
but successfully slimmed down for his comeback last week ^^

And guess what?
He's called the "Prince of Ballad" a.k.a. 情歌王子 in Korea
yup
sort of the same level as 张信哲
(ie normal look with touching voices)

And more,
he sang one of the OST of the famous drama Secret Garden
"You are my Spring"

Actually his singing voice is not my favourite
remember I like Lee Hongki's or ENERGY 阿弟's type of voice?
Ya
but Sung Si Kyung has the perfect voice
especially when he talks
soft, sweet, warm

(you can wait till he finished singing the first song, then he'd talk for a while...)
(by the way, i think his LIVE singing sounds better than CD, haa~)

으악 이 아저씨 넘 좋아ㅠㅠ

The power of blogging

Posted some tutorials to get to K-Pop music shows

I think it's because mine is one of the very few tutorials, if not the only one, available online
hahahahaha....

by writing something the people are desperate to find/know/read/learn :P

understanding myself

i think fyp can really demoralise someone
or at least to me

actually
i havent really reached the state of "complete-demoralisation" yet
but
i have started to think a lot about my future
do i really want to continue my studies after honours?
do i really want to continue working in lab?
do i really want to stay in the field of life sciences?

i think the exchange programme changed my mentality a lot
it let me witness and experience a world which is so much different from the life i have in nus
a world that is so much interesting and enjoyable without much worries on studies

so back to my 3 questions just now
i think im getting to the answers very soon

first, even if i were to continue my studies
i dont really want to do it in nus anymore
unless i get full scholarship or something
which is not really possible, though it's not really impossible
i once had a dream when i was still a kid
i wanted to study in australia
yes, that was my dream which im considering to fulfill
but it's gonna be very very very difficult

second, i doubt that i'd work in lab as a life-long career
even if i were to work in lab
i wont work in academic field
i know my own limit
im not good enough to do academic research

third, i still see hopes in life sciences
even if i dont work in lab
i think i'll still get a job related to life sciences
i think...

regretting

in korea
i once tried to start writing a korean history term paper
just a few hours before the deadline
and
i managed to bluff out a three page essay
and submit one hour past the deadline
and well
i actually got an A for that module

* * *

in nus
i am attempting the trick again
started writing one night before the deadline
but
with the deadline reaching in 12 hours
i already know that
the same trick is not going to work in nus
especially that this is not an arts paper
but a neurobiology paper

착하니까

난 너무 착한 딸이기 때문이다.
너무 착해서 모든 말을 들어 준다.
근데 이게 정말 자신에게 엄청 잔인하게 하는 것이다.
어쩌지?
어쩔 수가 없지.
난 착하니까...
