Conversations of my weekend

Yesterday

Me: Teacher is hungry and tired. 

Kid: Go buy an ice cream, teacher! 

( In a tone that I should go grab something to eat. I Rofl-ed when she asked me to buy ice cream. Hey girl, ice cream cant make teacher full and teacher doesn't really eat ice cream.)

Me: But I can't ( Im in the middle of the class.) I need to teach you.

Thanks Kid, I felt your concern. So cute of you to ask me to buy ice cream.

Today 

With the Chatty Big Eyes Hao Yen

HY: I can fight bad guys because I am strong.

Me: Donttt. You are so young. What if bad guys have guns?

HY: I will....will go to toy shop and buy a gun.

Me: (Don't know how to reply to his innocent cute answer)

Bad guys dont buy guns from toy shops, cute HY.

HY: I am not going home. I want to stay here forever until I finish all my work.

Me: But teacher wants to go home.

HY: I want to finish thousands of boxes.

Me: O___O You stay here and teacher is going home.

HY: ( He went on and on )

Imagining

I am a bit scared.

My imaginations are running wild these days.

Everyone needs to stay safe. Everyone.

Forth Survey

I was expecting that all of us to be heading to the same place. Unfortunately..
Anyhow I enjoy going to survey in different states.. going places that I unlikely visit and meet people that I will never thought of meeting in my life. Best of all, definitely the night out and hang out with the bunch after a long day of work.

So many things happened in just that few days.
Friday was a day off for us. Played cards together till midnight despite having to wake up early the next morning.

Some highlights of my day 1:

• Managed to eat the lao sa bao that tasted extremely good last time. Not in mood to eat lots that morning thanks to my stomach.
• Sweat like crap
• Met three old Malay ladies that did not look friendly but ended up talked about pig chasings  and asked me whether want to sit down and have french fries with them. One of them was telling me how to avoid pigs and demonstrated in a super cute way. cuteee Mak ciks
• Being rejected as usual by some of them which I did not care much, at least some of them still talk nicely to me. Thanks to those. I do not like forcing people to answers my questions. 
• A kind young Indian dude came out and asked me nicely what am I up to. Replied in a super polite manner and asked his mum on behalf of me. His mother did not like the whole idea of her son talking to a stranger. Sounded grumpy and all.
• Then, I met another nice man that said there was no female at home. I thanked him and heard his wife saying, '' hoi ooi meh???'' & '' Mo lei hoi'' -________- 
• My last survey was with a bunch of cool friendly aunties that are super chatty! Had a great time and such a pleasure meeting them. They were so nice. Waved at us, asked us quickly come so they can answer and we can balik rumah T T ni men hen kawaii! One of them so happen to stay in PJ last time and I went on and on with them while waiting for YK. :DD
• Went super duper hyper in YK's car after the last survey of the day! Great contributor of sound pollution :DD
• MH 370 news almost the whole day
• 'Career talk' at night.
• Visited the mini 'I-City' near our hotel.
• Reina actually knew I was busy enjoying the place in quiet mode and not tired! Thumbs up!

Not super duper beautiful, still nice walking with the bunch.

:DD

Day 2 was smooth :D Overall a great day

Morning started off walloping dimsums like there is no tomorrow.
Reina thought I dont eat breakfast since I wasnt eating much on the first morning. haha I can eatt depends whether I have mood to. haha

Our heavy breakfast before off to work

Highlights of my Day 2:

• Sat YH's car since my car car was at his house. Bugged CY early in the morning when my battery was still running high
• Endless Sweating again.
• Saw a pet bird that suddenly talked when I was about to approach a respondent
• A cute kid kept calling me jie jie for dont know how many times in the field.
• Talked to an uncle that carrying his grandchild. He was asked alot at first, his wife kept telling him not to help me but he insisted, seeing them I was having a tough time I guess. Helped me to ask his wife.
• Met some nice peeps that pitied me and helped me. They were not into doing the survey but still helped me. thanks!
• Did not feel as tired as Day 1. Day 1, first place, out of saliva.

The stringray was gooooood

Felt really good each time after doing the last survey! Saying Bye Bye loudly to those that I met for both days:DDD neomu neomu kasahamida. 

We were counting the forms in the car and yh was like saying he had something to tell us.

When we were at our second region, he lied and said we had to sapu another 80 ?! </33333 

LIKE NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.

Lucikly it was a joke. A good one. In the evening, cakap mau buat another 80 - -'

After counting and he said, ' we are not going home, heading to lumut.' 

First reaction: Stunned

like whatttttttttttttt???

It was a privilege and definitely an enjoyment if my those crappy presentation midterm slides and assignments are bugging me. 

It took me a while to adjust myself to the OMG Im hyper excited mode. 

Since we were already heading there, we just enjoyed ourselves there! :DDDDD

I cant believe we actually went Lumut. LOL.

Our 'Sea-view' Room

Lumut Jetty to Pangkor

Sunset time! :D The yolk was not that pretty but who cares! :DDD 'We are at Lumut!''

The four lucky fellows

It was actually quite fun to irritate the others that cant make it. hahahahahhahahah 

Anyhow we had to pay our price by being really pathetic with our lec notes in the room. 

It was not a 100% enjoyment. 

Our dinner at Capri! My stomach was bloated after this meal. We were like a boss. LOLOL

Breeze time after dinner. 

When I was still happy over the whole idea of being in Lumut

Until I met some idiots. I would say a bunch of idiots. My reactions...

I had a really bad heartache. Even worse that I was not doing anything and I was so disappointed with myself. Whats the fun of treating the sea as a rubbish dump? How many more idiots like these out there? I was so worried that partially if I will to walk front to you guys, I will scold you guys loudly. Paiseh YH CY, I felt the silence again. BUT I REALLY BEHTAHAN. You guys freakinggggg ruined my beautiful night!  

Something that I can't stand, something that must be corrected, something that I didn't stop on the spot.

I stunned at the first throw, there came the second third forth and so on.. The feeling was like worse than somebody slapping me on my face. That kind of pain. 

No mood.

Just No mood. :'(

Enough with that. Then, we headed back to our room and started grabbing moral notes. We were like dead tired. Still forcing ourselves to study -_-

The smart me couldnt stand any longer and fell asleep on the table.
The moment I woke up, my body was aching badly. LOL. Bad idea, guys. lol

A night without a good sleep. A night that I woke up, seeing the others sleeping. I myself...thinking.
Luckily after an hour, I felt tired again and felt back to sleep.

Woke up to this beautiful morning

It was kinda sad knowing that it was time to head home. Back to reality with a bunch of work waiting for me. 

I enjoyed though; )))))))) Sam fu sai Mr driver.

Different level of Pain

Tightening up and down nothing much.

The The The rubber band :(((((((((((((((((((((((((

Luckily right after the appointment, too hungry and went to eat. The pain came afterward.

I need to take that rubber band out every time I eat and brush my teeth.

Asked them not to leave me any food and they still did, worrying whether I will be hungry.

I am more concerned about the ache than the hunger.

The moment I tried taking it out after my nap. Wa O_O 

Come gigi I know you wont sakit that long. 

There goes my lame look with a rubber band being displayed the front row of my braces. 

Awesome.

Mr and Miss Seniors that I miss

Had a great weekend with the bunch. Post about it later.

The recent trip made me thought of the seniors that went with me last time. The time when I was still a newbie, Year 1 Sem 1 fellow that knows no one. Lost and stuck alone.

The first survey trip I went was memorable. It was so stressful to be RA to manage one of the biggest surveys. I knew so many people because of the survey. Although I was really quite worried and scared that time, everything was by my own. Clearly I was just worrying too much.

Rode the same car with Slowlim, Maggie, SueWey. The whole way, SL was just non stop telling me jokes and we had no chance to rest at all. They were talking about their coursemates, their friends, their daily stuffs which I knew nothing about them. Entertaining to hear though.

When we almost reached, I was thinking, '' Who am I going to sleep with ? '' 

The moment we reached, I remembered moving down from the car slowly to let the seniors to choose the rooms first and wondering where the heck was I suppose to be in. SW and M quickly pulled and asked me to be in the same room with them. T T They had no obligation to let me in and asked their friends to be in another room. I was not even left out for a second. SL jumped in the girls' room and we chatted non stop. One of the nights, they insisted and asked me to not hide in the room.Thank you :')

I remembered envy-ing and told them that '' I hope that my coursemates can be that close as well.'' and they were like, ''Don't worry, it will.'' It was just nice to have them around. Now, most of us are sort of close and more comfortable with each other. :')

No more seniors as car leaders. I will always remember those that took great care of me. Thank you very muchie guys and some of them that I did not mentioned but definitely part of this :))

N times

I said how many times and you still do not freaking get it.
Some jokes are just not funny.
I take your words seriously and you crap as you like then later act like I always serious and dont laugh or play along with you. Enough man. Why are you so good in making people frustrated. sigh
How am I suppose to help you! You tell me how la you tell me.
You are too complicated for me to comprehend.

Fire saja talking to you. Please be a normal person.Thank you very much.

It came back

My migraine came back to hunt me again.

It comes as go as it likes.

I just stop when it strikes. It triggers greater pain if I continue.

I WANT TO FINISH MY ASSIGNMENTS AND HAVE LONG NAP. :(

I will take it easy cause I do not want to get crazy at young age.
That's what I always tell myself and some of them.

Everything else seems to be interesting when you know it is time to do your assignments. Oh yeahh :D

Doubting

I need assurance on my work.

I doubt my abilities.
What the heck is wrong with me?

Excited to be Home

Today's class was gooooooood! Since it was only 3 hours and I was able to head back home for Lunch!

The kids were very obedient and discipline. Everyone was in mood which made me really happy.

Plus Yu Yan's words just made my day even better!

"I like you teacher'' in slow mode.

" I bring sweets for you teacher next class''

Teacher does not like sweets but if you are going to keep me, I think I will 'frame' it up. hahahahahahaha. Kids giving sweets away is like adults hand over their account book to another person cause sweets mean so much to them!

I was sooooo happy to be home in the moon after 4 months not able to have lunch with my family. When I reached home, I saw my mother and started calling her. She must think her daughter went nuts. hahahahaha. Happyyyyy

Back home early, lunch with family, additional time to do assignments. Awesome! :)))))

Seoul Day 6: A Simple Hangout in Hongdae and Insadong

Loved the fact that I am not on tour. The few days when I was on my own, I just did things in my own pace. I took my time to eat the instant noodles, cereals and drank milk. You miss out a lot when you are rushing for time. 

So I took my own sweet time hanging around the living room. Julie's friend came the night before. I did not talk much to her cause she was hiding in the room since Alice went out early. I was with them on the dining table. Julie was like busy cooking for Eugene. Such a good cook. I had fun staring at her. She only used 30-45 minutes to cook a main course and a few side dishes. Amazing! Since I did not want to trouble them, I ordered my jajangmyeon again! It was a bit awkward at first, I did not want to interrupt them and all. There went Julie and Eugene asking whether want to try out their food. 

It was this particular question that Eugene asked that made the awkwardness went off immediately. hahahhahahaha Eugene is a girl. Lol. She is such a bubbly, fun, cute and down to earth girl that speaks English fluently. 

" Do you have a boyfriend?? '' hahahahhahaha I just stunned. So cute of her to ask me such random question LOL not asking what am I studying and all. Thanks to her random question, I felt much more comfortable to talk to them. Just like some ordinary friends. We went on and on talking about relationship stuffs. Since both of them are about 30 years old, Eugene is getting very anxious. Too many interesting topics that we came across. I am with you girl!: )))) Hwaiting!

After the long fun conversations, Julie started to worry whether I had any schedules and asked whether want to join them. Of course a yes from me! I want to move around and linger around koreans too :D See where do they usually hangout and all. We headed to Hongdae for a walk.

Apparently Julie is a cafe addict. haha. We stopped by Poly cafe and that was when I have to 'act' as if I know coffee well and simply ordered one. Cappucino, Americano, Latte and whichever seem the same to me. LOL. Three of us literally talked about everything and anything! Malaysia, occupation, relationship, travelling, studies, work, cafes, kpop, social medias, teachers, korean names, jackie chan, other cities in South Korea, food and the list goes on. It was such a pleasure to have a simple day with them. Knowing that Eugene does not often come to Seoul, it was so happen she needed a break and that was how we met. Eugene, hope to hear some good news from you. Pass your exams and get a boyfriend! :DDD Thank you for allowing me to join you guys and the Americano!

Suddenly, it was time for Eugene to back to Daejoon. Julie had to send her off to Seoul Station. Sigh. Koreans are really into Facebook. They have their own social apps meaning ... :(  Eugene was always looking out for me in the crowds almost every few seconds to make sure I was still with them. Even A does not do that  :')))) Neomu Neomu Kamsahamida.

It was :((((( to say bye bye to Eugene. It was just too soon to apart. 

Then I went to Insadong after that.

Insadong, a place known for Arts

Big portion of Spicy Kimchi pancake that tasted a bit weird and spicyyyyyyy. My lips were red thanks to them. The lady who sold this thought I was a Japanese .-. Knew it was Jap but I cant answer you ahjumma! She went on and on and on talking in Japanese and all I could do was smile back and nodded my head. 

Na nihongo aniya.

Better not visit Insadong in late night, nothing much to see by then. Nothing much after that, I just kept walking around and headed back to Saejeol for a rest :)
