I just said that my last term break doesnt look like a term break at all
okay
i take back my words
it does look like a holiday after all
no lectures, no assignments, no exams
only labs and papers, big deal~
So without classes, i suddenly have quite a lot of free time
well
i should use it to read papers
but
well
end up watching variety show >.<
And started listening to Xmas songs!!
Last year, i was listening to JYP Nation's,
this year, it's Jelly Fish ^^
Reason?
Nah, you should have known it~
爱屋及乌嘛~
* shall dedicate a post to Jelly Fish one day XD
* * *
So here're the K-variety that i'm watching:
WGM
Have been watching since the first season...starting year 2008?
WOW!!!
The translation version is so slow,
and ever since PPS and PPTV blocked it few months ago,
I've started watching the raw version,
i.e. 100% Korean without subtitles
I've gotten >90% for TOPIK listening test,
I think I really have to thank WGM for that
HA!!!
2D1N
It was impossible not to watch it when i was in Korea
because it's the number 1 super king variety show
that's so so so famous throughout the entire Korea
When everyone around you is talking about the show,
you got to watch it in order to keep up with the conversation
Just like why Boys Over Flower and Secret Garden were the must-watch dramas in Korea~
And again,
I've started watching raw version,
but it's only after KHD left the show
When he was still on the show, well, it's a headache to watch without subtitles
thanks to his dialects and accents :P
SH
Not a fan of it
Since it's a talk show, Intermediate like I can never enjoy the show without subtitles
So, only watch it when someone i know attend the show as guest
RM
Well...
I finally started this one!
Reason?
2D1N is scheduled to end its five-years run next year February
(such a pity...)
So to substitute the emptiness that I've already anticipated
I'll have RM, the number 2 weekend variety king show, as my accompany~
* * *
So I watched a lot?
Not really lar~
5~6 hours per week only~~
:P
Have been trying to loop my youtube playlist endlessly
but keep failing and i thought youtube restricts the function
well
it ends up to be my own mistake for getting the codes wrong >.<
To loop infinitely, it's loop=1, instead of the usual wmp loop=99 =.=
So a brief tutorial here, to autoplay and to loop youtube video/playlist...
Step 1:
- Locate specific video/playlist URL within embed code (bolded and underlined in examples below)
- Ignore extra codes behind the URL (if any), eg shown in Example 2
Step 2:
- To autostart, add: &autopstart=1
- To loop infinitely, add: &loop=1
- Additional codes to be added right after the specific URL (note Example 2), without any space, within the apostrophes.
Example 1: Standard YT video embed code: <iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/cKmBQI4VASQ" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> Autoplay and loop added: <iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/cKmBQI4VASQ&autopstart=1&loop=1" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
Example 2: Standard YT playlist embed code: <iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/videoseries?list=PL69BEEF3977D875C5&hl=en_US&hd=1" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
Autoplay and loop added: <iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/videoseries?list=PL69BEEF3977D875C5&autopstart=1&loop=1&hl=en_US&hd=1" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
Enjoy my autostarted and infinitely looped Xmas songs MERRY JELLY CHRISTMAS ^^
Finals ended on Tue
some was not bad, some was simply a nightmare
being a senior, after >16years of "training"
i just lost all "enthusiasm" to "enjoy" the exams
But something worth noting about the finals this time
is the paper for System Neurobiology
the essay question set by prof wong
i dunno
as long as I dont get zero for that essay *TOUCH WOOD!!!*
i'll get full marks for it
yes
FULL MARK GUARANTEED
HA!
Why?
unless i really read the question wrongly *TOUCH WOOD*
or unless my brain went crazy that day *TOUCH WOOD*
the essay question was really really easy
even easier than MCQs
=.=
the so-called "essay question" that weigh 10 marks
simply require us to answer: A, B, or C
yes,
just "A", "B", or "C"
=.=
and it didnt really require any specific knowledge on neurobiology
but just basic ability to understand layman English and bar chart
well...some logic thinking to correlate words and charts, maybe...
and you will get the answer right~
i was expecting something "insane" for prof wong's essay
but
how come it turn out this way?!!?!!
i read the question at least thrice and i still stunned
then
instead of just give him "A" as answer
i wrote out the full sentence for each question, eg:
"Mice brain sample A corresponds to mice with high PrP expression."
PROF WONG PLEASE GIVE ME THE FULL 10 MARKS !!!
*and i can't understand why some students would forgo this essay question,
and chose the other profs' questions instead
which require drawing of the nervous system
and REAL essay writing with REAL neurobiology contents
i can't understand*
* * *
just checking, anyone reading this line? ===>> YES, THIS LINE <<=== please reply with "Yes" only will explain some other day...
* * *
Oh ya,
my last term break in NUS~
well...
which doesn't look like a holiday at all
thanks to FYP
i still have to go lab everyday including weekends
and i still have to read papers (which I'm reluctant of starting)
haiz...
it seems that my last term break
had already ended at the moment i left Korea
haiz...
had 2 pharmacology-based papers this week
pharmaco = my nightmare
first one,
notes were thin and empty
panicked at first
but turned out not hard
as all were application questions
just need to bluff
second one,
notes were thick and wordy
whether one can answer the questions
it all depends on brain capacity and memorising power
which im weak at
all those i remembered, came out as MCQs
all those i failed to remember, came out as essays
BRAVO~
depressed
but
after having exams for dunno how many years
17 years? (that's 77% of my life!!!)
i learnt to "let go"
ya
just let go and forget and move on
i'll cry only when results come out
so
to de-stress
i live-streamed KBS2TV Happy Together
for SSK and Lena Park (of course)
muahahaha
i'm fully amused and de-stressed now
getting ready to start the engine again
and CHIONG for neuro!!!!!
* * *
Subtopic: back to lab
Was in lab the past 2 weeks
started running some gels
to prevent myself being bored to death by all the muggings
After stopping lab work for almost 1 month
re-starting practical was actually quite difficult
especially in the new lab
firstly, i dont know where all those equipment and materials are
secondly, i seem to forget some protocol and "recipes"
thirdly, it just feels weird to hold the pipettes again
Ah~
hence I still dont dare to resume my cell work
scared my hands tremble in the hood then muahahaha
**touch wood touch wood touch wood touch wood**
If you've already realised,
I've been using YT videos owned by TheBallader.com
especially those live performance of SSK
Thought it's a fan site or something
So I went to the website and joined the forum
And then
I got SHOO-ed out!!
HA! the admin just said "GET OFF / GO AWAY"HA!
IF YOU ARE NOT A FAN GROUP, WHY OPEN MEMBERSHIP TO PUBLIC? IF YOU OPEN UP MEMBERSHIP PUBLICLY, WHY NOT ACCEPT EVERYONE EQUALLY?
Someone else later explained that they are not a fan site and hence it's not for everyone to join
YES, WHY CAN'T YOU LEARN FROM THE POLITE ONE AND EXPLAIN PROPERLY INSTEAD OF SAYING "GET OFF"
Then someone else even directed me to a "proper" fan site
YES, WHY CAN'T YOU LEARN FROM THE KIND ONE AND EXPLAIN PROPERLY INSTEAD OF KEEP SAYING THAT FOREIGNERS DON'T UNDERSTAND ANYTHING AND HENCE SHOULD JUST "GO AWAY FOR GOOD"
IGNORANT! BEING FOREIGNER DOESN'T MEAN I KNOW ZERO KOREAN I DID NOT COME OUT WITH THOSE REPLIES USING GOOGLE TRANSLATE I DID UNDERSTAND EVERY SINGLE WORDS THAT YOU SAID EVERY SINGLE WORD WITHOUT TRANSLATER, MIND YOU!!!

【成始璄 - 我们曾经很好】
한글 가사 （韩文歌词）
中文翻译
보고 싶어 유난히 지친 하루의 끝
想见见你，在格外疲倦的一天结束时，
아무 설명 없어도 내려 앉은
没有任何说明，就放了下来的
어깨 두드리던 고맙던 너의 손길
你那轻拍我肩膀的、让人感激的手。
듣고 싶어 쉽게 잠이 오지 않는 밤
想听听你的声音，在不容易入睡的夜晚，
이제는 식어 버린 전화기를 보면
现在，看了看那冷漠了的电话，
잘 자라 말하던 네 목소리
曾说着“晚安”的你的声音。
우리 함께 있기만 해도 좋았었는데
我们单是在一起也曾经很好……
함든 날 빌린 네 체온은 따뜻했는데
在辛苦的一天，借来的你的体温曾经是暖和的……
그땐 너무 당연한 그 모든 것들이
那时，那些被当作理所当然的每件事，
행복이었는데
都曾经是幸福的……
그때 우린 참좋았는데
那时，我们真的曾经很好……
보고 싶어
想见见你……
전화하고 싶은데
想打电话给你……
문득 네 생각이 났다고
蓦然想起你；
아침이면 사라질 취한 밤에만 머문 용기
到了清晨，那消失了、在喝醉的夜晚才有的勇气；
수없이 지샌 그 밤들
那些数不尽、熬过的夜晚。
너를 향한 미움은 금방 사라졌는데
对你的怨恨，很快就消失了……
널 믿지 못한 나는 아직 내가 미운데
我仍然很讨厌那个没能信任你的我……
그땐 미처 몰랐던 소중한 것들을
那时，那些没料到的、珍贵的事物，
되찾고 싶은데
想重新找回来……
그때 우린 참좋았는데
那时，我们真的曾经很好……
다시 만나면 다를 수 있을까
若再相见的话，会有所改变吗？
좋은 기억까지 잃긴 싫어
不希望连美好的记忆都忘记。
단 한번만 나타나 줘
请仅再出现一次。
널 다시 만난다면
若再和你相见的话，
두려움도 잊고 널 안을 것 같아
我应该会忘却害怕，把你抱起。
우리 함께 있기만 해도 좋았었는데
我们单是在一起也曾经很好……
힘든 날 빌린 네 체온은 따뜻했는데
在辛苦的一天，借来的你的体温曾经是暖和的……
그땐 너무 당연했던 그 모든 게
那时，那些被当作理所当然的每件事，
이젠 너무 그리운 그 모든 것들이
现在，那些很是想念的每件事，
행복이었는데
都曾经是幸福的……
그때 우린 참좋았는데
那时，我们真的曾经很好……
작사: 이미나 / 작곡: 성시경 / 편곡: 김두현, 황세준

- 우리 참 좋았는데 – 이어지는 트랙인 [우리 참 좋았는데]는 박정현과의 듀엣을 생각하며 성시경이 직접 만든 곡으로 서로 시간이 맞지 않아 다른 듀엣 상대에 대해 고민하였으나 결국엔 다시 박정현과 함께 부를 수 밖에 없었던 귀한 사연이 담겨 있는 곡이다. 그렇기에 이번 앨범에서 더욱 더 소중한 트랙이라 할 수 있다. 이미 예전에도 호흡을 맞춘 적이 있는 두 사람이 함께 부른[우리 참 좋았는데]는 환상적인 하모니와 호흡이 매력적인 듀엣 곡이다. --- http://www.jelly-fish.co.kr/
The next song <We were good back then> is a duet song made by Sung Si Kyung specially to be sung together with Park Jung Hyun but they could not match each other's schedules; he tried to find another duet partner, at the end could not help but to find back Park Jung Hyun and sing the song together. Thus, it is a much more valuable track in this album. The two who had already been collaborating well, sing this duet <We were good back then> in a fantastic and charming harmony.
