Day 54 in Korea.

Countdown: 61 days.
Countdown to exams: 2 days.

Temperature reading: 22 degree celsius.

Today is a happy day for me - I managed to request for a change of room and it went through, so happily I went to shift my barang barang to the other room I allocated to. Lo and behold, a big room awaits. I can have the freedom to do whatever I want and ain't nobody is gonna disturb me or make any more noise about me playing music or watching shows in the late night :) Yahoo!!

And so I head to Jeonmin-dong for my lunch before going to school to mug for Intro to Multimedia. I don't know how I am gonna cope with 3 papers in a day, but I guess there is always a 1st time for me. The usual routine - meeting San-In for dinner and coming back to study. Basically that is how I spend the day. Nothing much to do though. Oh yah, watching Heroes Season 3 Episode 5 - Angels and Monsters.

Day 53 in Korea.

Countdown: 62 days.

Countdown to exams: 3 days.

Temperature reading: 15 degree celsius.

Today is finally the beginning of mid term week. All my past week of effort will be realized since the anticipation from last week. I checked my mail today, but to my dismay, 1 of my exam will be pushed to Thursday so now I have a super heavy Thursday to handle - 3 papers in one day. Never in history have I faced with such a problem before. Ottokay?

With that heavy heart, I left for Expo Core to check on my account balance. Hmm, healthy balances, so it is good. I went back to Isaac's Toast to have my MVP Toast cuz I haven't been there in a while and I missed the fragrance of the toasted bread and juices. Just before I left, a Korean middle school student offered me a cup of drink and spoke with me in Korean, but I was clueless with what she was saying, but I replied politely like I knew what she was saying and there was an awkward silence for awhile *lol* Whatever it is, it tells me two things - 1. I probably should really go brush up my Korean language; 2. I probably am still attractive enough to attract young Korean girls;

It is back to the lifeless mugging in school again and I met San-In, so we went to cafeteria and have dinner. Today menu is "Korean pizza" and omelette with rice and got free "Yakult" giveaway with every feedback form filled!! Ho seh ah. Later I went to buy ice cream and yum yum before going back to computer room to study. This is super draggy and crazy.

3 more days to my exams. Please come faster. I have enough of mugging liao~

Day 52 in Korea.

Countdown: 63 days.

Temperature reading: 6 degree celsius.

Ah, a beautiful cool morning with a friendly wake up call from Divyan to go to church. I swiftly change out into my new outfit (Adidas Beckenbauer replica jacket) and hitch a ride to Sae Ro Nam church where I meet all my friends from different countries again. I had a great time enjoying their fellowship before making way back to school for a 4 hours make up lecture (YES MAKE UP LECTURE). School on Sunday? Hmm, only happens in Korea!!

But as usual, lecturer comes and class still have to go. We went through mid term topics and covered some that has not been covered yet. Time flew really when you don't notice it. I met Yong Han, Ha Mok, Song jin, Tok Chong and Steve for dinner @ the school cafeteria. Ah, the food still taste bland as ever (missing the duc-khal-be I ate yesterday). We ate and talked about mid term exams next week and everyone suddenly like sian1/2, but it is good cuz if exams don't come, how do they go then?

Hmm looks like it is back to lifeless mugging for me on a Sunday evening. Good bye week #7 and welcome week #8.

I happen to chance upon this video by this talented "Avril Lavigne" of Korea. Check her out - Younha!!

Day 51 in Korea.

Countdown: 64 days.

Temerature reading: degree celsius.

Ah finally the weekend has arrived. I was greeted by the beautiful mid day breeze. I woke up at around 12pm and meet Yong Han @ 2:30pm before we took a bus down to UnHeng-dong. Man, that is like the Orchard Road of Daejeon city. The streets are bustling with loads of people and many shops for you to choose from - fashion, footwears, body shop, restaurants and entertainments. Woohoo, suddenly the grass seems to be greener on this side of the city. We walked around, taking photos and eating this 13cm tall ice cream (vanilla/chocolate mixed) and shopping all around for my Adidas jacket. Finally, we decided to go back to Galleria to shop since I can get DFS (duty-free shopping) there. I bought a BeckenBauer TT design Adidas jacket (can you guess which of the 3 jackets I chose?), Yong Han got his Giordano jacket and tee and we both headed back to Jeonmind-dong. He was supposed to meet Jong Tak Chong for dinner and discussion, but because he was hanging out with me, they changed plans and end up, Yong Han and I went to have duc-khal-be dinner!! Woohoo~ My best meal of the week (considering I have been having bland food for the week).

So then, we came back to school

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.
