A whirlwind of things happened today, or rather, yesterday (thurs).
Suddenly i feel like a pro in Korean again after remaining completely stale for the past, lemme see....ummm, 5 months??
Okay, what happened was i met up with GERALD SIM B.H. (hahahahhaaa) today to give him some crash course on Korean language before i go off to Korea, and before he does too in Aug. happening right? everyone's going Korea. And the ad on tv is becoming so contagious, like i can just close my eyes and the tagline comes whispering to me in the most come-hither tone: Korea~~ SPARKLING~~~
ahahahahahahahahaa!!!
for once, at least it's not only known for Kimchi and Da Chang Jing.... honestly, we really did have enough of Da Chang Jing, so why the hell is U channel relentlessly playing it over and over again like a broken record?!
Okay lemme just get on with my illustration, haha... so i was supposed to meet Gerald the DWAEJI at Cine for lunch then to Katong to meet girl jm after her work. i went taka early to take ID photos for my dorm application and speedpost it to Korea. Then as i was filling in the speedpost form there's this lady who barged into the post office asking for some bubble bags to wrap up her boxes of 'brands' essence to be couriered to Korea as well. then the counter lady said something like she cannot courier or send liquid products overseas, and so the spat started:
Lady (L): why cannot? i've done this before i just did it 3 days ago through FedEx they sent it for me, no problem!
Counter lady (CL): no cannot...we don't deliver liquid products over. it's not allowed. we cannot help you...really cannot...
L: i need solutions! why you keep telling me cannot? i've done this a few days back why can't i do it now?
CL: you go through Fedex we go through DHL, different...cannot. i think you must go back to Fedex, but i think it's not allowed anyway lah.
L: why you keep telling me cannot? you have 10 cannots in your sentence can you give me a solution now? what is the problem with Singapore post? this is ridiculous!
CL: (calmly gestures to colleague) cannot right? this one must go back fedex and ask, we use DHL so cannot. Sorry we can't help you.
L: (leaves in anguish with the bubble bags)
CL: aiyo, she just took my bubble bags and leave know...this woman ah.. Ridiculous! ask boss to return me the money ah, 5cents.
My comments: ......
both are equally ridiculous. CL is ridiculously rigid; L is ridiculously rude.
Anyways, end of that story. the Dwaeji sms me to change venue for lunch to PS! I HATE THE CARPARK AT PS. a few wrong turns did it for me so i resorted to parking at Paradiz centre. CMI. we were supposed to eat at Manhatten fish market but when i saw the menu i kinda changed my mind. LOL so we left quietly to eat at a Jap restaurant.
How ironic right? go Jap rest eat while i teach him Korean. HAHAHA..
and this DWAEJI has an issue with controlling his volume when he speaks. lol. he's like projecting his voice for the world to hear. like machiam his korean pronunciation is not awkward enough he had to speak so loudly. i don't know what to make of it man, innate talent or innate weapon (to deliberately embarrass the ppl around him).
After that i drove him to Parkway Parade to chill and continue to learn Korean at Starbucks. i didn't know teaching Korean can be so painstakingly hilarious. maybe cus my "student" is funny. like whatever he says sounds suspiciously VULGAR. HAHAHAHA.... but he claims that it's the language . lol. even my beloved jm who joined us later cannot help but LOL at him.
then for another part of the time we tried to find solutions to our Jm's prob. she had to prepare breakfast before 7am for the cast of 1028 film in the morning. like where to get food that early? then like mahiam we don't know how anal some celebs are... lol. but if i were to be paid peanuts to do saikangs like that i don't mind man. =) She's visibly worn out from the task but what more can she ask when she's working for Royston Tan? COOLEST if you ask me =P
So we went down to TM to have dinner. supposed to catch "what happened in Vegas" but Jm cher was having flu so we asked her to go home and rest. next week then...we're meeting up again on Tuesday to continue my "lessons" with gerald the Dwaeji. Hopefully JM DON can join us by then!
..and what's it with decent looking girls digging their noses in the car when everyone outside can obviously see them? really don't understand...we were in the car on our way to TM (dwaeji behind the wheels, btw..) and at this particular traffic light where we waited, this decent looking girl who's sitting next to her equally decent looking bf (who's driving), was digging away shamelessly, not even attempting to conceal her unglam act. like WTF?! we were starring at her like she was a circus monkey lor. and she didn't stop even when she knew we were right next to her. after digging she even played with her booger in her finger and GOD KNOWS WHERE IT ENDED UP. i hope it's not stuck on the door handle where some unfortunate victim comes into contact with. totally revolting. so out of curiosity we asked dwaeji what he will do if his super duper drop dead HOT gf does that in his car.
He said: "either she flick it out of the window or i flick her out of the car"
Overall, a FUN-FILLED day for me...and us! too bad i didn't take any pictures. next Time then! Man...tuition tmr plus car servicing. BOOBOO!
