My All Time Fav~



The Road Not Taken by Robert Frost

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fair
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that, the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
two roads diverged in a wood, and I --
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

New Semester, New Home

New semester begins at new home in a new environment with more people in da same house, but I have my own room of privacy!!! Here are some photos on my host family, Mr. & Mrs Jo & their two sons during dinner on one weekend~

We live in a comfy apartment in da city & I m teaching da kids English few times a week in exchange of my stay~

I finally bought my own cute yet slightly-bigger-than-breakfast table, which is commonly used among Koreans coz they juz sit on floor to work & this is super comfy & space-saving~

My room was previously their study room, so it's juz fits for two persons in this room & me wif new haircut~

View of Kangnam from my room~

Outing wif Shelly after she returned from KL & staying over at my place for few days~

Wedding of my former classmate, Hyu Rei~

A simple wedding in Seoul~

T-Music Festival 2009

Hey folks, sorry for the lack of updates as not much excitement taking place of late. The only hip thing that i can crap about was the “T Music Festival 2009” which was a 5-hour long marathon concert (^-^)v

Armed with the cheapest free seating ticket-rm68/each, me and mum walked in Bukit Jalil Stadium on Sept. 12 to catch the star-studded concert which featured some of the big stars coming from Hong Kong and Taiwan include Joey Yung, David Tao, Justin, Kay Tse, Khalil Fong, Kenny Kwan, Soler, Power Station and Sam Lee along with some Mainland singers.

I personally luv Soler and Power Station for their stage-shaking performance (U GUYS ROCKSS!!!) There were event heart throbs from Thailand and of one would be Chin performing with his flamboyant moves and dashing boyish look managed to catch our Bunny’s attention *winks* However, when Chin was performing, a ‘boom’ sound was heard and the screens went off. There were smokes coming out from the tent and i assumed a fire was taking place. But, they managed to put off in afew minutes. Meantime, the stage area was a complete blackout and the emcees of the night, Nicholas (MYFM DJ), Ngan Mei Yan (MYFM DJ) & Cheung King Fung from HK were pro enuf to control the crowd as well as keeping them though some were seen to be leaving when the blackout happened. I dunno why, it somehow brought back some of the scenes in Final Destination 4 seems to be surreal, shucks! Niway, coming back, some artists like Justin, Kay Tse and David came out to sing through a loudspeaker hoping to keep the crowd entertained until the audio and lighting system recovered.

I heard from the Galaxy crew saying that the TNB team was trying to fix the problem and recovered the power. From lights to audio, the system was recovered in approximate 30 minutes. The show still goes on with the renditions of famous K-ballads from Khalil Fong’s “Love Song”, “Ai Ai Ai” and “Nothing's gonna change my love for you” , Eric Lim’s "Wo Ting Jian You Ren Jiao Ni Bao Bei" and Kay Tse’s “Hei Tip Kai” and “Nin Dou Zhi Kor” are all of my personal favs. which got the crowd sang along too^^

The local ones like Z-Chen and ManHand were equally compatible. Z-Chen started off song with “Kuai Le” and to the upbeat and latest new song “Mi Wei Jen” were not bad. The technical problem hit in when the music he sang stopped half way and being a pro, he managed to joke wif us by saying "So you guys sure want me be emcee? Ok, i’ll become". ︸_︸ Sam Lee was another crowd fav. with his heart-wrenching love ballads and he was D only singer that received flower from fans that night. *weet weet*(*^‧^*)

Justin, David and Joey were powerful vocalists which caught the crowd screaming frenzily when Justin appeared on the stage wif his all time clubbers fav. song: Vola followed by K-fans favs: Kuet Jin Yi Sai Jou, Meng Ngan and Nam Yan KTV! I was about surprised when David popped out before Joey. He sang two new songs which i can’t recalled and none other than his ever famous “Ai Hen Jian Tan” when everyone sang along. Finally, the last singer whom appeared was none other than Joey. Her opening song was “Yuet Cheong Yuet Keong” which seen the crowd started to sneak out including me hehe i heard poor Joey saying “I saw so many of you leaving, i’m scared...” P/S: Sorry, i wish to stay but it is already 1.30am and i’m scare too!!! of jam...and my butt hurts...”

Overall it was good show despite the minor glitches and the night was a blast with FIRE, FIREworks and FIRED-UP singers!!!

With Luvs,
Cat

Day 423: Travel Is The Best Medicine

*Sigh*~This blog is pretty much abandoned ler & I m like syiok sendiri saja coz no one updating it liao xcept me*SOb*Sob*Hugs Sqrt64 photo frame*Juz a short update after I balik from KL b4 more updates on my new homestay life wif Korean family~

Summer break is coming to an end in a week's time & Shelly is back in KL by now (T_T) Met up briefly juz a day before she flew back & gosh~she will spend more time back home longer i did!!!

Due to unforseen factors, I din get to linger more than 2 weeks back in KL, after a year being deprieved of nasi lemak & cantonese fried~Wish I could stay longer to be with my family & meet up with my nephews....Even one of my dogs can barely recognize me*sob*sob*

Spent 2 weeks in Sydney after my last visit a decade ago, but by Day 9, I realized although Opera House & Vietnamese sandwiches are my fav memory of da Down Under, but shopping malls closing at 4pm(!!!) & nothing much 2 window shop even on weekend are insane!!! Sigh~Wat to do ler, as Aussies are famous for their laidback lifestyle~

By da end of July, was back in Seoul & sick (not from HlNl!!) & subsequently lost 2kg by 2nd week~With weeks 'til da end of summer break, me & my former roomate, Sasha, headed to travel agency & booked ourselves flight tics & 2-star hotel for 6D5N in Beijing!!! One of my best decisions ever made!!!

Few days later, armed wif my fav Lonely Planet (as thick as my Chinese dictionary!!) & lotsa prayers, we found ourselves in an adventure in one of da most $$$ cities in China~More updates on pics can b found in FB liao~
