Was in the shower and suddenly this memory occurred... And it got me googling for Malaysia's population

In Halong Bay, at nite on the boat when we all saw three shooting stars...
Conversation with Christian,

C : So you guys study in South Korea, doing what?
K : Engineering.
C : Cool, I'm doing Industrial Engineering, and you?
K: Chemical Engineering (hati berbunga cause I feel so cool and smart studying Engineering...) *Smirksssssssss*
C: I honestly am impressed, I mean I never thought YOU would be studying Chemical Engineering.
K: Why.....*raise a smart eyebrow* (I'm so cool!!!)

Minutes later...
C: So, what's the population in Malaysia.
K: (Shit!!!) Er...60 billion?
C: Wow, you mean you have the whole world in Malaysia then? *trying hard to stifle a laugh*
K: (Shit x3!!!) Well, I don't know that!!! Maybe you should ask my friend there *pointing at meiping* She's the smart one.... *in super indignant voice*
C: It's alright, let me make it easier for you then, how many people per square meter?
K: Um...............*totally speechless*
C: Oh, you know, like a square with one meter length at all sides........
K: *super indignant & frustrated* I KNOW what is a square meter!!!! I just don't know how many people to put in it!!!
C: Okay.....

C: So, you're gonna get a tailored made dress in Hoi Ann? There's lots to shop there, I think you would love it there... *Obviously smilling so broadly*
K: I............

Malaysia's bloody population is!!!!
27.73 million
I know!!!!!!!

At this point of life. I mean right now. I don't have much to complain.
It is a total bliss just to feel so good, everything feels so in place. So right.
Yeah, I'm having a hell of a busy life this semester working my ass off when I should be enjoying what we all call "the last dongyang honeymoon semester".
With mid terms coming up...

Somehow, being so busy, spices things up. It's like I have everything under control, and I can even find time to write this. I could still find time to talk to taysueyen, visit my brother, visit ganjunqi when ade came over. etc.

No matter how well I try to juggle everything, I bound to leave out some people, some details, miss a few birthday parties, miss a few events, miss a few gatherings.
It has been ages since I last had a proper dinner with my house mates.
Still, life is more or less sorta of a tiring good.

And when I feel good, I don't have to hide it from my closest, best-est friends, do I?

But the truth, at 21 years old, what I learned is. When you're happy, you've gotta learn to hold back the happiness within you. Bask the blissfulness yourself and try to maybe deny to others how you're actually feeling.

And despite already learning this fact, I still feel that it is a totally unreasonable and stupid thing to do.
Yet, I'm starting to do it. There's no "I guess" there. I AM starting to do it.

With me working my ass off, it's not the greed that I want more money. Well, even if it is who cares, it's my life.
Spill the beans...
My current economy status,
After paying for my freaking expensive tik back to Msia this winter, I was left with barely 30USD to live for a month after getting all my pay in advance.
For the first time in my Korean life, I'm actually hoping JPA would bank in my allowance. Fast.

Still some around me, who knows what I am going through thinks I'm loaded and tries to dig into me after me recommending 2 jobs to her, and after I've already voluntarily treated her twice? -_-

So now, Imma gonna keep my mouth shut.

Fight or flight. I guess I'm choosing flight, I don't ever wanna lower my standard to fight.

Ps: Ask me why I choose to blurt this out here in a super long post..
...Imma look back someday to see the turning points in my life.

Graduation pic day...
Almost all the Chemical Engineers to be.
I love telling people I'm gonna be an engineer, sounds cool.
But in reality, I can't wait to graduate, the stuff I listen to in lectures.. ...You don't even want me to get started.


As usual, the us three.
Okay, kinda lame me just put a white coat over my last year's annual dinner black dress when the other two look absolutely gorgeous. ISH! Me kinda gorgeous too na....taysueyen!


Girls in my class. The center one really pretty bah.
Btw, the one on the left always stuff her boobs. *Pooffff* xD


My class's Mr Macho Man who comes to school in really weird attires.
Beige hat, beige vest, beige pants and shoes.
And that specs...., it's his.


The closest Korean friend ever.
Looks like snoopy nehhhh...
Somehow he looks super macho in coat and I went nuts all over him!


Me and Laiyee and our name cards, in korean. Duh.. Everything in my life is getting Koreanized.
Everything!


Me trying to act demure among the guys, that one behind me.....
Uhhhh.. He is in his best behavior lately, last semester I kicked his ass after he got drunk and started grabbing my hand to match make me with another guy. - -
Pretty much a freaking typical idiotic Korean.


My African friend Harris from Congo.
Who hates Korea yet is enjoying acting in Korean dramas.
"At times I gotta be this Romeo guy, and sometimes I'm a mafia or maybe I could be a lost foreigner."
Sometimes I half wish I look more foreigner just so my prospects in Korea gets better. shit.


Of all pics, this is the one I loveeeeeeee BEST!
용균 오빠 with a "mong" blur face, 용수 with his eyes closed, and Laiyee..... woo. I love the frown.


And ps ps ps:
taysueyen. Here's a pic of kaki babi. Now you can laugh your chicken head off.....

2008's Mooncake festival,

My brother acting gayish. -_-


Everybody happy.


Lately I'm obsess with flowers in ears...
Thanks to Keong eh, for jumping high high to get flowers for us.


After three years in Korea, I actually have a bunch of juniors that er. I wish to know more about ^^.


And boarding the 6am subway, very kosong, very nice.


Sorry for the lame captions, I was born lame.
Even this joke is lame. -_- tired...

Am not being dramatic, am still shaking from my first ever challenge with the world out there.
You might be wondering what am I gibbering about again.
But me being me, the loser, have never really fight the world for something I want, or I rather put it this way, MY RIGHT.

Last semester, I've got a job teaching a 13 years old kid. SHIT my hands are still shaking on the keyboard. That gotta prove how cowardly I really am huh?.. Or maybe innocent, more like ignorant and stupid in reality.

k, back to topic. I tutored the kid since last semester, each week each session two hours, just conversation for 10. And I wanna boast that I taught her more than required and she got really close to me and had since then improved by leaps and bounds.
She was a quiet kid, knowing how to answer just, "yes, no, I don't know" whenever I asked questions. And till now, we could discuss her problems with her friends and even about girly stuff like make up, pimples to manicure.
Sweet...

The moment I got back from Malaysia. Her parents stopped her academy tuition and asked if I could teach her twice a week and they would pay me more. They didn't buy her any books and I printed work sheets and photocopy books for her.
Two days ago was pay day, the father sat me down and tell me that he would pay me 15.
Darn..... As if I can't do my maths. Double the time, he should at least pay me 20.
And 20 is considered super little for the amount of work I do.
At that point of time I was dumb enough to just say ok and not ask for more. Yeah, that's not innocent anymore, that's gullible.

And as if to convince me that he's paying me generously, he started asking me if I get good pointers last sem and if that I got the scholarship offered to top students in my college. ( He's a lab assistant in my college).
He even insulted me by asking me to stop fooling around and try study harder, and that I should be grateful that he's employing me instead of other so-called-top-students. -_-
Pighead!!!!!!

So, the story goes on with me complaining to each and everybody, and them urging me to ask him for more or just quit the job. But me being me, kept giving excuses that that little girl I'm teaching got closer to me etc etc excuses to stay in the job.
Darn it. Today I went to meet that lab assistant and told him to pay me more else Imma quit, cause I deserve it.
And there's so many other jobs with much better pay lining up for me. And he refused, me quit. I quit. I freakkkkkkkkkkkkkkkking quit the f*cking job!!!
And it felt good, it felt like WOW.

Okay, some of you might think that I'm really making overly big deal about this "me confronting that bastard" thing. But there's more, there's more about how he insulted me and the scorn on his face whenever he talks to me.... drives me up the wall!!!!!!

And today I lashed back, with my head high and my steps bouncy, I left the envelope on his desk and simply walked away!!!
COOL leh.......! (tho my hands are still shaking please say what I did was cool =P)
Tomorrow I've got an interview for another new job, paying me 3 time what he pays me.

I think I've grown up a little bit more than yesterday. ^^

So much for staying myself and working my way thru the world my way huh?..

Life's been hectic... Like seriously h.e.c.t.i.c.
It's a good hectic tho.

Currently reading "The Secret"

Imma gonna buy this book soon.
This is the first ever book that I read halfway and decided that I wanna own it...
Go try read up more about it, here.
Sleep time. Chao~

Weh... It's gonna be October real soon.

Month of celebrations.

Eh... Don't forget. Imma turn 21 this coming December.
Can I stay 20?.. forever?

Emm. Is it that I'm nuts for not wanting to turn 21.
I wanna have my face, my body, my mind, my thinking preserved at 20.
Totally please and happy being twenty.
