Day 50 in Korea.

Countdown: 65 days.

Temperature reading: 11 degree celsius.

Today is what I would call an outbreak of personal limits. Something so intense and sensitive happened that really triggered me off. I won't be blogging about my day because my day has been destroyed by this ****ed up pest whom I have been living with for the past 49 days. I was trying to be nice, but like the good ol' saying, good doesn't always beget good!!

This post will be more like a case study basis and you guys can feel free to leave me a tag to let me know what I should do because it is the 1st time I am driven up the wall, not because I can't solve the problem, but because of the severe language barrier I have with this ***hole.

[Situation #1]
I was watching a Korean tv series @ night. It wasn't loud and I was just concentrating. The show was really damn funny and I emitted intermittence laughters. Suddenly, a jackass sneaked up on me and "boo"ed me. Man, that guy really pushed me hard. I was thinking, "why would you do that when I am watching show." He told me "oh, I was just kidding." Brushing it aside, I continue to watch my show and this time, I irritated him back by turning the volume a little louder for awhile and softening it.

How would you like a person to sneak up on you and push you in the middle of the night when you are enjoying a nice show? Food for thought.

[Situation #2]
My room mate is gonna sleep, so as an act of kindness, I switched off his side of the light and lower the volume. He started to throw a tantrum - asking me to switch off all the lights, including the toilet light and close the door. Dammit. I don't like to close the door when I am awake (claustrophobic I guess) and I don't understand why must we switch off all the lights. He then took his mat and lie in front of the door in order to make me close the door. What the heck?? When you sleep, would you even notice if the day is open? I already agreed to switch off all the lights, but he just wouldn't compromise.

What would you do? (considering I have never stayed in a 2-room sharing my 2 years in KR).

[Situation #3]
This is the best in history ever. He suddenly pinched the back of my arm so hard, it actually hurts. So I was really damn pissed and I asked him nicely, "why did you do this?" Guess what, he gave me the most innocent looking face in the world and not answering my question. I gave him a serious look and asked the second time, the third time, the fourth time and the fifth time. All of which met no reply. Finally, in order to brush me aside, he said "I was just kidding, ok?" Instantly, a palm went right to his face without warning. Here is kidding from me, how you like me now?
Imagine a pathetic Mongolian bugger who cannot own up to his action. Welcome to Muugii's world.

[Situation #4]
Fall season is nearing winter so it is getting cold, especially at night. The best place to go to is your room where you can stay within the confine of its warmth. A certain bugger opened the window and he put on a jacket IN THE ROOM. I was just wearing a singlet, as usual a Singaporean guy would. I told him, "it is cold" and a cold reply came right back, "but it is warm." Instantly, I mind-murdered this dude. In my head, alot of thoughts went through and one of them was, why would any dumb ass open the window when it is so cold (we are talking around 13-15 degrees) and wears jacket in the room? Doesn't he has any sense at all?
If you want to meet one person who likes to do the stupidest thing beyond your wildest imagination, I would like to introduce you to my friend - Muugii.

[Situation #5]
It was 6am in the morning. I heard my room mate going to the toilet to take a leak. After that he left the toilet lights on, play with the room lights (on and off and on them) and left them on. He even opened the window and went back to bed, hiding underneath his blanket. I woke up 10 minutes afterwards because the light was disturbing my sleep, so I went to off it, and close the window and asked him, "why did you leave the room and toilet lights on?" The most classique reply, "I was dreaming." How would you want me to respond? Can any of you believe him? I can't, but maybe his people can.

Have you ever seen a sleepwalker in your entire life before? I am living next to one, a Mongolian one.

There are many smaller instances, but I guess I just leave them out for the sake of not boring anyone out. I am going crazy day by day with this maniac driving me nuts. If someone out there can feel my pain, please help prescribe some remedy for me. I am dying of patience.

Day 49 in Korea.


Countdown: 66 days.

Temperature reading: 16 degree celsius.

The same old day in school except that I got a make up class from 1:30pm to 3:30pm. That sucks man, but overall I enjoyed the class alot cuz today was more hand-ons. I am not really a big fan of lecturer teach and you just listen cuz it makes me very very sleepy. Class ended and I rolled back into the computer room to do my self study again. I feel that I have studied more than all my other semesters' mugging combined.

As usual, dinner with San-In and another female student and I went to Dunsan-dong today to buy a nice little cover for my Ipod Nano Chromatic :) It is a Belkin leather protective case with screen protective for the Nanos. They always say - no point investing when you can't protect those investments. It took me almost a month to buy this freaking case. Now I don't have to worry about my Nano getting scratched.

Tomorrow I am gonna get a new custom Stratocaster. Matthew is gonna help me get it back in Singapore. Rocks~

Day 48 in Korea.

Countdown: 67 days.

Temperature reading: 17 degree celsius.

Today is a crazy day for me. My room mate suddenly wanna watch movie and so we watched movie till like 6am in the morning before tucking in. I slept all the way till 4pm before waking up to go to school to mug. I feel that my life is becoming mundane with the coming of mid term exams. Everyday I go to school to study and then come back to rest and the whole cycle repeats daily. I am meeting San-In for dinner again and we ate together since Monday @ the school cafeteria, punctually @ 6pm.

After dinner, I came back to mug again while he goes to his study group. I just received an email from my lecturer that because she is not gonna be in town this week, there will be no mid term exams for that module. Wah shiok!! So now it is time to relax and watch my favourite tv English series - Heroes.

Day 47 in Korea.



Countdown: 68 days.

Temperature reading: degree celsius.

A good sleep through the cold weather. I woke up @ 3pm to cook lunch - spicy ramen with the short version of sausage. Just before I left dormitory, I saw this gigantic spider than crawled beside my Converse shoes. I almost freaked out. I screamed like loud and I started jumping on the spidey even though I killed it. Haha, one of its legs got snapped out. Shiok.
So I went to school and hit my favourite spot in the computer room and settled down to do some self study. Finally, my exam timetable is out. It looks pretty evenly spread out, so not a problem for me. Later, I had dinner with San-In @ the cafeteria again. Today dinner is Korean rich, with kimchi, ma-po tofu, some beansprouts and seawood soup. All for just 2,500 won.

After dinner, we went to the school coop to buy some stuffs. I got a "MAXIM" coffee pack (inside got 20 satchets). LOL. What a funny name - MAXIM coffee?? It doesn't even taste sexy @ all. Then I came back to do my self-study again (seems like I am the chao mugger now) and the day is gonna end soon. Hmm, I shall stop for the day and go watch my favourite Heroes Season 3!!

Day 46 in Korea.

Countdown: 69 days.

Temperature reading: 15 degree celsius.

Today is a crazy start of the week - 6am soccer training in school & I had to walk all the way from my dormitory to school (approx 30 minutes) because the bus shuttle starts @ 7:10am and I promised the captain I would attend the training. Cui~ The team is trained by an outsider coach with his 2 assistants. He looks rugged, but still got the touches man. We did fitness training, as well as some on-the-ball skills and routines - crossing, shooting, passing etc. After that, we played a friendly match to determine which team buys breakfast. End up we won but haha, it was just a joke zzz... However, the captain was darn nice. He is younger than me but because it was the 1st time I am eating breakfast with them, so he treated me. Nice-si. We had Korean rice with potatoes and kimchis. I sat among a bunch of Korean speaking dudes and couldn't make out what they were talking, but luckily I got a kind dude who helped sub it in english for me. Kam sah ham-ni-da :)

Following breakfast, I went back to dormitory by bus (finally) and had a good shower before heading to bed and I zonked out for 6 hours before waking up @ 4pm to go to school to start my mugging. My all-time computer roommate, Yoo San-Ein invited me for dinner with him and 2 other friends and so we headed down to the cafeteria for Korean style dinner :) I had a chat with his friends and they invited me to drink with them some time later in the week, so I accepted the offer *lol* How can you drink and not call Gerald along? That would be so uncool eh.

Shortly after dinner, we went back to computer room to study and this msn thing distracts me badly especially with the introduction of MSN group chat thingy where everybody in the channel will receive the mass message that 1 person send and it is unstoppable!! I am glad that despite being far away from home, there are people back home who actually miss me and I can't wait to fly back to see the new freshies (woohoo, eager anticipation!!). With that, I end my day mugging in the computer room that I hang out so often in. I am gonna finish up my lab work tomorrow and concentrate mugging.

So good night people... It is such a wonderful blessing to be able to sleep on a comfy bed...

Day 45 in Korea.


Countdown: 70 days.

Temperature reading: 18 degree celsius.

Haix... I think it has become a bad habit of me to sleep late and wake up late... I missed church today... Sian... So I decided to make up the day by going to school to do some self mugging and then have dinner @ Jeonmin-dong and end off my day by blogging.

I reached school @ 5pm and started to mug for Game Theory til around 6:30pm before I went to Isaac's Toast for my usual MVP Toast (2,600 won). The weather is really cold and as usual, I only strap on a tee and shorts from G2000. On the way back, I met Fawaz who was on his way to Sunny's place for dinner. He kindly invited me, which I can't refuse so I tag along. I was not disappointed. Sunny's curry masala chicken is the bomb!! I keep helping myself to more of it and I ate it in the muslim style - hands only. Afterwards I received a call from Chee Soon, reminding me of an appointment we made earlier this week!!! WTH!!! I totally forgotten about it - the Sam-Jok-Sal gang!!! Pork fest~

So I hurried and left Sunny's place to meet them @ the usual SJS place outside school. Gosh, I am eating 3 sets of dinner!! I feel so piggish, but who cares, the food is darn good.. I love Korean BBQ and I got a feeling I have to get used to Singapore food again... kekeke~ We eat and chat and drink and eat and chat and blah blah blah till 9 plus before coming back to school. Man, you guys should try authentic Korean BBQ someday

It rocks... Only thing lacking was, a cup of SOJU!!

Day 44 in Korea.





























Countdown: 71 days.

Temperature reading: 18 degree celsius.

Woohoo today I am gonna post lots of photos so I won't blog much, but the main highlight was the visit to Kumdori Amusement Park. I met up with Divyan, Grace and Kelvin and it was so darn fun over there.

Grace left us in the late noon to meet her friends while Kelvin, Divyan and I went to Papa Jon to have pizza dinner with Travis and Andrea!!

Thank God for the wonderful day and weather!!
