Hey guys, so sorry for not blogging quite some time ><

Still remember my previous blogpost? I actually mentioned that I was going to take part in a dance performance~~~ And now it's over! OMG! Time really flies! It has only been slightly more than a week and it's over~! I actually can't really believe it....It's like we had been so occupied for a few days and now everything is back to normal...Life was pretty hectic as we practiced at least 2 or 3 hours nearly everyday continuously for 5 days. I know perhaps some of you might say that it's not a big deal and that time period might be consider very short and insufficient, but I have to pinpoint that we are just students and we had to rush for class after practice and rush home to finish off assignments and things like that...Moreover, it's my first ever hip hop/K-pop dance, I had some hard time shaking away the ballerina elements in me. To make things worse, my legs were always in pain because it has been a long time since I really exercised hahaha :p

Back to the topic, we were representing the MELBOURNE UNIVERSITY KOREAN STUDENT SOCIETY for our school's night market event!



Song 1: Freakum Dress by Beyonce
Song 2: I Got A Boy by SNSD (Girls Generation)
Song 3 (cut): Gentleman by PSY

I know the dance isn't perfect, and you can actually see that I (ONLY ME) suck at it >< BUT the whole dance thing meant a lot to me - for a non Korean newbie to be given a chance to perform with the super pro seniors and somemore representing the Korean Student Society....how WOW is that :p

And through this dance, I actually met a few very AWESOME people and I now have Korean friends already!!

NOTE: I DO NOT CHOOSE WHO TO BEFRIEND WITH BASED ON THEIR NATIONALITIES BY ANY MEANS. I REPEAT...I DO NOT!!

Is just that I am soooo biased towards Korea (sorry I can't help~~ in fact, I am not even sorry by a little bit WTH) and I always hope that I have Korean friends who can share their cultural stuffs with me! :p


Surprisingly we didn't take many photos, in fact this is one of those limited group photos that we have >< Regret for not shooting more with them :/ Everything was in such a rush and everyone was nervous haha :p

Luckily I still managed to take some selca with some of them! All pretty girls!








My outfit for the night!

I AM TOTALLY FANATIC ABOUT EVERYTHING RELATED TO KOREA!!!

No doubt, that statement is 1000000% true.

Korean songs, Korean celebrities, Korean language, Korean cuisine, Korean cosmetics......LALALA the list goes on!

I worship everything related to Korea. Even the ground that they are stepping on, the air that they are breathing!

I have an iPhone case which is a Korea flag on it and my alarm clock app background is also a sparkling Korea flag! I have photos of Korea directly in front of my study table!
I just don't understand how come the America flag and Britain flag can be in be a trending trend in fashion field, WHY NOT KOREA FLAG TOO?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

Everything about Korea is awesome! Is not that the moon is brighter in Korea (chinese proverb), nor grass is greener in Korea (english proverb)....IT IS.....KIMCHI IS TASTIER IN KOREA! MY PROVERB!!!! I shall get a copyright for inventing that statement! #swag

To some extent, I feel that I will be stoned to death by patriots!!! :p

Ok so basically, I am really really hyped right now.

Before I stepped my foot into Melbourne University, I had already found out that they have Korean Student Society. At that point, I made a vow that I MUST ENTER THE UNIVERSITY AND ENTER THE SOCIETY!

During the enrollment day for clubs and societies, the first booth that I aimed for was Korean Student Society! Hardcore much! They even provide free Korean classes and K-pop Dance Class!!! OMG!!! I told you everything about Korea is awesome!!! ANYTHING!!!!

However, I didn't receive any emails from that society (because normally we will receive the notifications for events through emails) and I tried to text one of their admins but there was no reply. So at that point, I was disappointed. HOWEVER~~~ The other day, I suddenly had the urge to go to their Facebook page, AND GUESS WHAT!! They already started their events way earlier than I thought and their notices were all posted on the Facebook page. Smack me please someone ><

Thank goodness I just missed out 1 Korean class and 1 K-pop Dance Class!! PHEW~~ At least not too bad, still can catch up with them :p

Yesterday was the first Korean class that I went. I have forgotten when was the last time I was sooooo effing excited and looking forward to something...until yesterday! I was sooooooo excited to attend the lessons. OMG! Feel like I have been waiting forever for this day to arrive! Finally I get to have my very first Korean class!!! Although now I'm still pretty noob in Korean, I swear I will master it in no time! Soon I will be able to understand and even communicate in Korean!!! OMG!!! EXCITED!!!

[Sorry for all the exclamation marks, I'm really really excited!]


This afternoon, I went for the first K-pop Dance class and we learnt SNSD's I GOT A BOY!!! OMG...I think I'm starting to love SNSD! They are too gorgeous <3

I am also joining the seniors for a performance next week! Unnie is sooooo cute, when she asked would I be interested in performing, and I said yes, she was smiling like a kid, somemore held my hand...aww sweet!!! <3 Thankful the seniors are sooooooo nice and not forgetting that they are so pretty and good at dancing *envious~~*

It's been so long since I danced. I think after I finished my ballet grade 8 exam I hadn't been dancing at all (dancing to Gangnam Style is just so not a "dance" according to Alanis!). Since I missed the first lesson, now I am still having a bit of tough time memorizing the steps, but I think should be able to pick up before the next class! I downloaded quite a few SNSD's live performance and dance covers to learn from them! Looking at SNSD's photos always reminds me of my diet plan....Now I shall revive it xP

EXCITEMENT over....reality is....have to do Financial Accounting homework :/

p/s: Anyone can tell me how to handle the confusion of learning 2 languages at the same time EFFECTIVELY? Learning Korean and Japanese at the same time sometimes really makes me confused. Everything in my brain is JUUUUUUMMMMMBBBBBBBLLLLLLLLLed up ><

By the way, sorry for my ignorance, I'm not a political person nor informative. I have been seeing things about North Korea and South Korea all over Facebook, yet I still don't want to find out what happened because I'm afraid that I will be very very worry about them.


ONE THING I HAVE TO SAY >>>> I really really really really hope that there's nothing bad that will happen to them. PEACE! I LOVE KOREA! I LOVE KOREA! Be it North Korea or South Korea, I love both, because as I said, with the "Korea" word, I will like it! I don't want anything bad to happen to my favourite country in this world. PEACE!

Put a bit of makeup to school today cause I thought my face looks pale...if not I wouldn't selca ><


Accompanied Terry to buy his new acoustic guitar today, and finally he chose the Epiphone one which cost him $390++! YAY!

I also sent in my hubby Mikey to repair its strings and bridge, he should be home by tomorrow noon! I am really really excited for him to be back. Miss the times when I hugged him to sleep (I literally did that, don't judge!)

And because Terry bought the guitar at such an expensive price, we got to choose 5 guitar picks for free! And I got one too, something new to add to my guitar pick collection~! Gonna show you guys next time, wait till I expand my collection a little bit more!

Gonna reveal a little behind the scenes to you all....Rebecca and I spotted a cute salesman in the guitar shop! Actually Rebecca found him cute once he approached us to give us some advice, but I didn't care much about him because he has a lip ring (I personally find that a tad bit scary)...UNTIL he started playing on Terry's acoustic guitar, OMG....drop dead COOL!!!! And I changed my mind, he IS CUTE! *trying hard to imagine him without that lip ring*

And there's this really cool guitarist in the shop too who talked about Orianthi and PRS Guitars with me! WHEE~~ *hyped hyped* He also performed some guitar solos for me!!! So happy and when the other guy came to ask him "Didn't you charge any tips?" I RAN OUT OF THE DOOR hahahahahaha :p I REALLY LOVE VISITING GUITAR SHOPS! THEY ARE LIKE HEAVEN IN THIS WORLD TO ME!

Anyway, I have to go now, need to read the boring Introductory Financial Accounting textbook again...Have been reading it for the entire week but I can't seem to be able to finish 1 chapter, it is sooooooooo hypnotizing!

Tomorrow I'm gonna have Korean cuisine for dinner with Rebecca and Terry~ So happy~

By the way, I'm thinking to start Vlogging, is that something YAY or NAY? But what should I vlog about??? Any suggestions???

That's all for today CIAO~ Hope you guys have a nice weekend :3 [I can guarantee you mine will definitely suck...but oh well...life goes on...] :/

I feel like as if I haven't been here (Melbourne) for ages but truth is, it's only a few days, I guess? @@ TWO WEEKS.

Ok so, as the title says, I am now having problem with languages.

You guys know how much I love Korea and Koreans, and basically everything related to Korea I LOVE THEM! So here comes the problem, because I love Korea so much, it's one of my biggest dreams to be able to master their language. What I mean by mastering is that I can read, write and even speak in real accurate Korean. So every now and then when I watch a Korean drama series, or even listening to a song, I would, practically attempt to pick up some new words. Therefore, by now, SOMETIMES I am able to understand some people's conversation in Korean already :p

Unfortunately, my University (yes, I'm in Uni now, don't judge me, I know I'm still acting like a kid, but anyway) doesn't have Korean as an independent subject. I was so looking forward to picking up a new language as my breadth subject, which is something that is irrelevant to my majors, BUT THERE'S NO KOREAN! How disastrous~

Truthfully, the world doesn't end there, they have Japanese! Which is the other language that I love apart from Korean. So, now I'm officially taking Level 1 Japanese as the breadth subject for my semester 1.

Today, I had my first Japanese seminar, which is basically like a tutorial class where everyone sits down and listens to the sensei (means teacher in Jap) and also attempts to mimic after her. Funny thing is that, I was so confused. Since I know some Korean words, typically the greeting phrases, during the seminar, whenever the teacher asked something, and if I happen to know that in Korean I would be so tempted to raise up my hand to answer. Perhaps, I was trying to act like a pro, but don't get me wrong, I didn't even raise up, not even a single time, because the answers that I know were in Korean. LOL!

For example, teacher asked us to greet the people on the same table. And I nearly said "annyeonghaseyo!" ><

And when she asked, "If someone said "sumimasen" (sorry in Jap) and you would like to say nevermind, how would you said it?" I nearly told her "kwenchana".

You get me now? My brain is all tangled up! Hopefully I get to overcome this asap, the best is during next week, because we are actually having an oral assessment after a few weeks. I really can't imagine me speaking in Japanese, but I'm really really really looking forward to it :p

Apart from mastering Japanese, I have 2 more 2013 resolutions, which are equally important to me. Alright, eliminate my academic issues, I'm merely talking about language issues AT THIS MOMENT!

Hopefully my Korean language skills can really improve asap because I'm self-learning it because my dream is to save enough money within these 3 years so that after graduating from University, I can go travel in Korea for 2 months on my own!!! I want to experience their local life there! :3 If I don't know the language, it wouldn't be THAT meaningful anymore. If you get what I'm saying :p

Another thing, which is an issue that SUDDENLY became rather crucial to me >>> the ACCENT PROBLEM. I have to admit that my English vocab and grammar is no where near perfection, but I'm thankful at least I still have the ability to write and am able to express myself in words (just like typing this post). THE THING IS...I can't really speak. As in accurate English.

I guess this is the problem that most Malaysian students face. Well, initially I didn't see this as a problem anyway, but then recently, if not mistaken, it was just a few days ago or last week, I suddenly became really annoyed with my own Malaysian accent. The thing is that in school, most people travel in their cliques. It's a norm for Malaysian students to mingle with Malaysian students, you get the idea of what I'm saying, right? That's how I survived last year. Most of my friends are Malaysians and I also have friends from China and Taiwan. And you know what's the consequence of this? After spending 1 year in Australia, my English hasn't improved, not even a freaking 1% instead my Chinese and Cantonese improved a lot. OMG!

Ok so back to the topic of why I suddenly came to realization that my accent sucks?! The other day I attended a Youtubers gathering. Most of them were locals, as in Australian, only one guy from America. Honestly, if you were in my shoes, you might know how I feel. I left my home a thousand miles behind me because I wanted to come and experience different culture, meet different people and most important of all, improve my English, but then what have I achieved? NOTHING! WTF! At that moment, I feel really shameful of myself. Don't get me wrong, it's not that those locals teased me for having a bad accent or whatsoever, is just that I really look down upon myself. I had nearly forgotten what was my main aim to study here. ENGLISH ENGLISH ENGLISH~~ And to me, their accents are just WONDERFUL. I personally love American accent, but Aussie accent is not bad to me too! AND I WANT TO LEARN IT! Gonna say goodbye to my typical Malaysian accent already, next year I don't want people to tell me "You are from Malaysia right?" following by "I can tell because of your accent!" WTF!

If you have been pretty patient and read through every single word of this post, till now you can probably sense that I have a keen interest in languages. Yes. I am. No doubt. That's why I want to improve, who can tell me the MOST EFFICIENT WAY TO IMPROVE MYSELF?

This is my last teenage year already and I truly don't want to waste it like a tap water anymore.

Be it Japanese, Korean or English, I swear I will definitely have you guys settled before I leave Melbourne. The challenge starts now, JYO ZIKZIN!

Korean food was never my cup of thing back then, but ever since last December I tried out their cuisine, I fell in love with it.
