Just sleep

Breakfast to kick start the day: 

'Bon Go Jang' Fresh Udon and seaweed

Slept really, really early last night around 8pm. I was not feeling well and there were symptoms of falling sick. Since my brain wasn't functioning properly, I had to give up on my study plan and go to bed early.

Ironically, I wasn't feeling happy at all even though.. I should be: Finally found a legit excuse for me to sleep instead of revising.

Right -.-

I guess it all comes to the same theory. When you finally manage to skip school by pretending that you're sick, I swear it's one of the best feeling ever on earth. But you won't feel good when you're really ill and couldn't go out to hang out with people.

Anyway, I would like to express my gratitude to my caring housemates :) Thank you..

Chwin Wern: for the Panadol.
Hana: for refilling my water bottle for me with Redoxon Vitamin C effervescent tablet.

xoxo

I'm feeling more energized now!

Princess hour at Go-Gung

 It was 3rd day and also last day of our college's exeat. I was so bored staying in the boarding house all day long and was tired of prep, internet and afternoon naps.

I guess I overestimated myself. I thought I could 'tahan' or control my desires by forcing myself to be a宅女 (zhai nv: girls that are extremely anti-social & prefer to stay in the house than going out) for a few days. Oh well, I was still thinking that I could maybe study really hard...

Ish. Totally failed!  

Note to self:

Never trust yourself again. NEVER EVER.

but I swear it was worth going out for a short while. I got to eat some good food, at least :)

After shopping for an hour in mid valley, we went over to Gardens to hunt for food, as usual.

Since Hana (my Korean bathroom buddy/we share a detached bathroom) was with me, we thought of going for Go-Gung, which is situated just next to 'Art Friend'.

The ambience and decoration inside Go-Gung was really nice. As the restaurant's name intended, it was literally like a little palace inside. Plus, there were so many well dressed waiters and there weren't much people dining there (but the price's actually okay if you don't order too much meat) so it gave us the ultimate VIP feeling. Felt like some korean princess for a moment, as my post title suggested.

:3 Pretty Korean princess waiting for her lunch to be served.

Side dishes. According to Hana, to know the standard of the restaurant, you should always try their Kimchi first.

Mmmmm.. Yumzzz. Food test: Tick!

I wanted to order Bibimbap but I just had one during my last shopping trip to The Gardens. LOL..too obsessed with mixing/stirring my food I guess? Just like how much I love to order Pepper Lunch.

Hana and I both ordered Bulgogi while Angie got herself some Kimchi stew thingy.
I have to say that their Bulgogi was really commendable. It was a bliss to my taste buds. It has got the  sweet taste I like and when you wrap the beef with lettuce and put it into your mouth, it was like 5 seconds in heaven. mmmmm.

I have also tasted a few spoonful of the Kimchi stew and I thought it has got its standard. Goes perfectly well with white rice when you don't have much appetite.

Chinese princesses? lol.

If I were rich enough (grrr allowance not banked in yet) I would have also ordered other dishes like Pajeon or Gimbap. But oh well, can't finish anyway. Save for next time then.

Till then..Stay tuned for more updates ♥

It's Black Day, eat black noodles!

Do you know what day is today?

14th of April, 2010. Wednesday. 
You might ask, what's so special about this day?

I google-ed for some info and here's what I'd got:

Black Day (april 14) is for single people to get together and eat noodles with black bean sauce in South Korea, sometimes a white sauce is mixed because those celebrating the Black Day didn't experience the White Day. The idea is that those who didn't give or receive gifts on Valentines Day or White Day can commiserate their singledom.

"a day lonely hearts try to ease their pain by diving head first into a bowl of noodles".

Aww...Cute isn't it? =)

It was said that all the singles will gather together to enjoy the noodles called jajangmyeon a.k.a 炸酱面. I've tried before in a Taiwanese restaurant but haven't really try the Korean style one. Okay next time I go into a korean restaurant, I'm going to order this Korean black bean noodle for sure. Yum yum I can't wait. =P


Back to our point, Black Day is actually a day to celebrate being single.
And I'm qualified to celebrate..

Boo Hoo Hoo ='( 

LOL I'm just doing some effect here. Ignore the emo me. Haha.
Honestly I think there's nothing to be ashamed of for being single.

Come on, you think you're still in the Ming dynasty? Nowadays single doesn't mean nobody wants you. It's probably because you don't want them. Right?

In fact, single is a kind of freedom.
If you're single, you can do what you like and when you like.

You can choose your friends to hang out and the movies you like, you can be as lam-nua as you want, you can also save money for long phone calls; but hey, the most important factor is, you can fantasize or flirt with any guy you like without feeling guilty. Wee~

Seriously, being single is an extremely positive state. You can avoid those sad moments or insecurities which will make your day blue.

By the way, loneliness and low self-worth are not excuses to choose a relationship over singledom. You should not have a relationship for the sake of having one. It never works out well.

On the other hand, make the most out of your freedom. Let's go out into the world and broaden our horizons. The world is still very large for us to explore so stop sighing for not having a partner. In fact, the more varied your life the happier and more interesting you will grow to be.

And you know what, soon or later someone just as happy and interesting will eventually find you. =) ah and finally you will get the chance to celebrate Valentines Day instead of eating jajangmyeon on Black Day. rofl.

Hey this is not jajangmyeon okay? LOL. It's my all time favourite. Simple but delicious.
I thought I could also join the fun on Black Day, so I cooked myself a plate of dried Maggie Mee with my secret recipe black sauce. Haha.

Happy Black Day!
Cheers coz you're still available =)
