Korean Madness

I have no idea what starts my blogging now. Its already late into the wee hours, and i just wanna make a confession. No, i mean... i just wanna blog. U know, when u dun bath for many days, dun feel guilty i know u dun... anyway, u'll just be dirty and smelly. But when u bath, it just washes off everything away. Clean!

I think i havent been blogging for a long time, im losing my sense of language.

Ive been seriously drowned in Korean crap recently! Before going Genting with Christoven and WeiXiang, which was like last week, i was already immersed in Korean's entertainment industry. I think its flourishing and thats not it, it'll continue to do so... because they're spreading out to more Asian countries nowadays, especially China. Alright, i made that up!

Well, i was searching for some funny things on Youtube, it shows how horribly bored i am at home. But well, i found SuperJunior, Suju in short, and they're a rising Korean boyband. Theres this show called, "SuperJunior Full House". Its totally hilarious! Its about them having 2 foreign guests who'll be staying with them for 1 month. Anya and Eva, from Russia and England respectively, were to do a homestay with Suju for 1 month, and the stretch for this period was filled with fun for both Suju and the guests. They were treated like friends, and the members of Suju has to commune in English with the guests. On the first day, they were making a fool out of themselves with their English guide book, when both Anya and Eva could speak Hangul perfectly! So, there are 12 episodes on Youtube, and with English subtitles for most of them, and a total of 3 parts to each episodes. So, i watched like... 36 videos on Youtube to complete them. Its really fun! Its interesting to learn about the Korean culture too. Their lifestyle is very different too. I wanna go jump off my window now, because i wanna be born a Korean in my next life, i cant wait!

Trust me, its that serious that last night, my dream was in Korean! What the hell right? I cant stop laughing now. Its not funny? Fine. Anyway, im not lying, my dream was in Korean, and i could speak Hangul. So funny!

If not funny, go knock ur head against the wall.

Anyway, Mom got back, and fetched me to GoldenMile for my trip to Genting. I met Christoven and WeiXiang there, before that i had breakfast with Mom at PekKio. So, we boarded the bus, and i was feeling sleepy because i couldnt sleep for the entire night before heading to Genting. Why? Its not what u think. Because i was watching Suju on Youtube! I couldnt finish the episodes in time, when i arrived back in Singapore after the trip, the first thing was to complete the Suju videos. Anyway, i like one of their song, the rest aint that nice. Its called, 'U'.

I promise, no more Suju or Korean stuff for now, lets talk about Genting. Well, the journey there was kinda sweet for me. I hate it when they have to stop over for us to use the toilet, eat or shop. Its boring there, and so warm. Well, we bought nothing, we were prepared with some chips already. Surprisingly, we didnt eat any on our way there. I was sleeping soundly throughout the whole travelling. I always wake up with Christoven laughing at me. I was listening to music the entire time and im not sure what was happening between Christoven and WeiXiang. Anyway, when we're at Genting, i brought them to the counter to check in. We got into the our rooms, and the first thing they said was... the room was too small. Come on! Its just nice, last time before enrolling into NAFA, i went there with 4 other friends, and we all shared a single room!

We were deciding what to do, and ended up having lunch first then buying the theme park package for 2 days. Its only like $53, which converted to Singapore dollars, would sum up to around... i dunno. The rate was like 2.27, so u go figure. I'll list all the price in dollars for now... We ate some noodles, which was like $10. Then, we went to the theme park, and found it kinda disappointing because the rides were like closed. Soon, the sky darkens. We were on the flume ride, and was half way through the ride, and its so freaking slow! It was on the water, and really moved like a snail. Not implying on anybody! So, we were wet because of the drizzling, not the ride. I sat at the back, and Christoven in the middle, and of course, WeiXiang at the front. Christoven was not willing to sit on the thing, because its wet! We were urging him to sit, because he's rocking the thing by squatting. Its hilarious, because he doesnt want his jeans to get wet. See, thats the price of going out with a Hilton member. Joking...

The rides were all kinda closed because of the rain, but when we return, more rides were open! We were screaming with joy. So, we took the exciting rides and we got to the most thrilling one, the SpaceShot. Its a tower in the middle of the theme park, along the slopes of an edge. Its roughly about... 10 storeys high? Its very high! I live on the 11 storey, and im looking out of the window now... and i think the ride was higher than that, seriously. So, it goes up... then hangs at the top for around 10 seconds, because we counted, and then it'll just let go and drop! Once it reaches the bottom, because of the pressure, it'll bounce back up then down again, for at least 4 times, with each time getting lower and lower. WeiXiang got tricked because they needed one more person, and WeiXiang thought that Christoven would go with him, but he was fooled. He took the ride first... and second time with us. While waiting for our turn, we were looking at how WeiXiang would react to the thrill. Well, he looked normal.

When its our turn, i tell u... my heart was pumping like a crab's heart. I havent seen one before, but... its just pumping fast! I sat there, with Christoven on my left side. He looked horribly pale when we're going up. It was really foggy then, we were all covered in the fog, and it seemed to me that we've gone to heaven! When im nervous, i starts to sing. No doubt, i sang many songs on our way up. The counting was horrible! U know what? Im feeling the tension as im blogging! I can feel the anxiety now! Anyway, when i was counting, i counted till 8 and stopped... because i cant take the pressure anymore... and i kept shouting for it to drop. In the end, it... dropped, just like it would.

It was... pretty normal. Nothing special.

U know whats the killer ride for me? Before heading back to play, when it was raining i was feeling very sick and wanted to vomit... and we took a rest at a cafe. Before feeling so sick, its partly thanks to the curry i ate for lunch, and the killer ride. Whats that? Its the children ride, TeaCup! Its like a spinning cup, and it goes in circle... then theres this wheel for u to turn for more excitement. I was hoping that i'll get the chance to make Christoven sick by spinning faster and faster. Who knows, the role was reversed. Christoven was spinning the thing like a mad child, while WeiXiang and i were trying hard not to vomit. For me, it was a terrible and most horrible experience in my life! I regretted. Its a valuable lesson for all of u out there. Be enlightened.

My fingers are hurting, i think i typed too quickly. Well, at night, we were deciding over for the indoor rides, such as the HauntedHouse and such, but it was too expensive for Christoven. Why? Because he was left merely with very little money, thankfully... he has $40 extra. But well, it didnt last him long enough. On our last day, he was penniless. It was really fun going with WeiXiang too. He is very enthusiastic about almost everything, or actually... anything. He took pictures with us, and he was fine with things that we said and did. Its really fun. We went shopping, and Christoven spent his money on this pants... with an ugly belt. He kept asking us whether its worth it. What can we say? He bought it already. On the second day, i went shopping too. I bought this shirt from Padini. I think its worth it, its only $61. Because of the discount... and i wanted to buy more, but thanks to lunch on our last day at KennyRogers, i didnt have much left. Merely with $30, i spent it on food at the stop over that i hated most on our way back to Singapore. The ride felt slower, because i couldnt sleep much. It was fun at Genting, and theres so much more that i should've mentioned.

Did i tell u about Christoven's fashion show? His time consuming bathing periods? And lastly, his low status on bed? Here goes... Every now and then when we enter our hotel room, we'll hear Christoven saying that he wanna bath. And well, thats it, he'll bath for like 30 minutes! Thats freaking long! WeiXiang and i will often fall asleep while waiting. And then, he'll change his entire outfit. Firstly, he brought 12 underwears... for a 3 days 2 nights trip. And 3 shoes, with like dunno how many socks. Well, thanks to his shoes, i exchanged it with him at times, because mine was pretty wet from the flume ride. WeiXiang and i will take our score cards and watch his fashion parade. Lastly, he has to sleep in the middle of 2 beds, and we'll often snatch away his blanket, because its kinda cold at night. Well, i was sleeping, so i wasnt aware of things like that only till morning when Christoven would start complaining. Its really funny. And often, i'll take away his pillow, and he'll just start whining. His poorly status in Genting... was so unglam for him. Unglam, a new word which all should be familiar with. I'll add that to my dictionary...

By the way, after reaching Singapore, Mom fetched me home before she head to Malaysia with some friends. I prepared myself for a performance on Saturday night. MikeChiang has got some performance, and ive to arrange a short melody, according to him. It turned out kinda long actually. So, i did the arrangement and passed it to FuKang, WeiMing and YiLeng when we met at CSCC.

My internet is lagging, im kinda worried that if my entry goes into the bin, im really going to jump off my window. For another reason now.

So, anyway... we gathered and took a cab to TananMerah CountryClub GardenCourse. I know, such a long name! So, we took the cab there and surprisingly, during our free dinner, i saw EricWatson and went forward to talk to him. He was there for his ITE band. Well, we performed at the Chinese restaurant, while EricWatson's jazz band performed at the bar. And there are more performances around the whole club. Its a celebration for its 25th anniversary. The performance was fine, and took our break time out. Rushed back to CSCC to keep the instruments... or else we'll suffer bringing the heavy duty YangQin back home. And my house would be the nearest, i'll die most!

Anyway, MrChiang then told me to prepare for a solo performance for the Thai princess who'll be coming to Singapore on Tuesday. PeiQian told me to perform at Sentosa with MinHui and some other guy on Tuesday too, but i didnt want to... I told her to look for QingLun, not sure whether she did.

After coming back from Genting, ive been wallowing in the joy of watching Korean variety show, Xman. Its super hilarious! I got to know some Korean stars, as in know their names... and then got to understand some Korean sense of humour. Its totally different from USA, which is known for its sense of humour, even when bombing Iraq. Well, i loved it! I mean, the show. Theres this segment called, 'DangYunHaJi'. Its super funny! I'll recommend everybody to go watch, and look out for those with LeeJoongSoo, if im not wrong. If im wrong, hes called the Eagled-eye. He is super mushy with his lines, which he uses to beat his female opponents. Its super funny!

Well, for me, life must be a party, a ball, an endless carnival. Each person must invent a role for himself and play it with brio. Im gregarious, and being lonely isnt something i can deal with often. What are u doing these few days? Why so hard to get u to go out... sigh. So refractory.

Anyway, let me end this prolix entry. Verbosity first! So, thanks for reading and goodnight!
