Swept up in Hallyu

Happy Chinese New Year to all my peeps.
Have been on Non-paid leave from blog because:
1)Plenty Tests (last one on Friday 27/1/06)
2)Went Home after tests for CNY
3)Home has no streamyx
4) Only dial-up
5)Dial-up slow.
6)Too lazy to dial-up.Behind is too heavy. *cough*. Not to mention annoying high pitched noises when dialing.

NEways, CNY was a quiet affair with a lot of Coca-Cola,and Korean Drama VCDs. Which I like, but have no patience to complete.So I take the easy way out: Fast forward and skip all even numbered VCDs.So I managed to complete in 4 days:
1. The Sad Love Story-20 VCDs.Corny title, monotonous story line, but got Kwon Sang Woo inside, which means *watch anyway*.

2. The Road Home -korean movie(not series) which is different because it has no romance. About the relationship btw a boy and his mute grandmother.

3.Divine love - Average Korean movie.Again with cutie Kwon Sang Woo.This time he's a Catholic priest wannabe, who...well ,I can't reveal the ending.Suffice to say that it involves a girl.

4.Windswept- Korean movie.Watched this on TV. Verdict:Boring. Will appeal to people who want their boyfriends turned into wind when/if he dies, and follow them around everywhere as moving air.What a kinky concept.Pour moi, I'd rather have my privacy.

5.Friends (not the Central Perk one)-Collaboration drama between Japan and Korea,with Kyoko Fukada and Won Bin.No chemistry.Proly cos they both dun understand what the other is saying.

6.Pride and Prejudice-English movie. Liked it.Loved it.Was very faithful to Jane Austen's book.Casting very well done.

Etc.

Returned to campus on Saturday February 4th.
Serdang house is chock full of cookies and mandarin oranges.
Evening went to church.
Then dinner with UPM gang at Kuchai Entrepeneur Park.I had KimChi Ramen.

Sunday, went to visit sick friend in Hospital Serdang.Very fancy-smancy, stylo-mylo and hi-tec-by-tec for a government hospital.Building was very modern-scmodern,and UPM's new medic fac is around it.
Tried making a batch of Kim Chi myself.Not bad.Quite easy.Taste a bit like HumChoy.

Monday,Found out that Korean teacher Jung SongSaeNim is actually a Pastor(Presbytarian).Read finish online novel:The Society fot the Betterment of Mankind by Jennifer L. Armstrong.

That's it.
