It's Okay That's Love

I just finished it's okay that's love. The rate at which I'm watching drama is really scary. I just finished it in less than approximately 2 days. My friend recommended this to me because to her it was really good. Honestly, I was skeptical because I thought it would be quite boring when I read the plot however, I really loved how the story unfolds even though some parts were a little draggy.

I'm really amused at kyungsoo's acting as kangwoo and kwangsoo's acting as sookwang. The acting was really good.  Maybe it is because I'm not a very patient person. The acting was really good which made the drama good. I also love the chemistry between the actors and actresses. It's worth watching again. Not so soon but it's really worth watching. Oh and the humor was not bad.

The impression wasn't really deep honestly (Because I wasn't concentrating about 20% of the time) but it was good enough. (D.O. is so cute btw)

 

 

Prime Minister and I + My Lovely Girl

My Lovely Girl
Watched my lovely girl when I was in Japan because of Krystal, Rain and Myungsoo. To be honest, my lovely girl wasn't really good. The plot wasn't fantastic at all. I could totally predict the plot and even the conversation which was no fun at all. (Poor Myungsoo though) I wouldn't watch this again if I feel like watching a drama again because (to me) it was quite a waste of my time such that the plot was kind of boring. (Like I said, I watched for the actor and actresses only). Not sure if its because I really watch too many Korean dramas or I've become a drama guru. Maybe I've a secret talent for lit or drama and all the ??? devices/technique.

 

 



Prime Minister and I
Hello, I just finished watching prime minister and I. I watched for the character(s) again- Yoon Shi Yoon, Yoona and the kids that are really cool. I actually like this drama though the plot was a little boring. Some parts surprised me and I like the humour in this drama. I actually like watching the kids of the prime minister because they're so cute. (and suho cameo for 3 episodes). Nonetheless this drama is not totally worth watching. It didn't leave a huge impression for my love from another star & doctor stranger. And it didn't make me want to continue the drama for the whole day as I went out on Monday (today is Thursday) for a run and wasted time sitting at the benches in the park.

 

Post prelims and Alevels reflection

Its been almost 3 weeks after Alevels. Honestly, I'm still worried about my Alevel papers.

Ever since my BT2, time really passes really fast. Somehow, I wish I could rewind time and be a student again because next year, I'll be on the other side of the fence.

I must say that I've given my all for this exam and I've never had such discipline in my entire life until Alevels was over (then everything went downhill)

• Slept at 10pm and waking up at 6am- All for the sake of my pimples and it really helps me to concentrate during the day. It sounds crazy to sleep for 8 hours daily but I'm that of a pig
• Social media: LOCKED! - Instead of uninstalling it, I downloaded app locked and got my friend, xs, to unlock it for me if I really wanted to use it. Well, I only unlocked it once a day and eventually, it died down to 4-5 days to have one of them unlocked. It really works. Instead of going on instagram while memorizing geography because it was way too boring. I do not have the discipline to make sure I do not install it.
• Food: No fast food, No fried food. - I'm not that healthy but I did not have fast food for a long stretch of 6 months. All for the sake of my health. I feel much healthier anyway. This makes up for the time I do not really have to exercise. which explains why I'm in such a terrible state now.
• Water: 2.5 litres of water a day. - I drink so much that I go to the toilet to pee a lot of times. Its not bad actually. It keeps me awake when I study instead of drinking coffee. I admit I drink coffee though- to keep myself awake. But I do not encourage it because I think I'm dependent on caffeine. I drink coffee everyday on a school day though.
• How to have a social life at the same time: Study with my friends in the library. Not studying alone and yet, I do not talk while studying because I simply can't! Speaking of which, I'm really grateful to my library buddies- Weixin, Ngan, Bona, Evan, XinSiang & Jon.
• Music: Don't listen to noisy music or don't listen to music. - Its distracting. I regret listening because I get distracted at times.
• Studied in school everyday from 7am-9pm, studied in the library on weekends from 10am-9pm. During alevel period on some days: reading room near my house (I left my phone at home and only went home to peek at my messages during lunch)  from 10am-10pm.

Well, it was a long journey but I'm thankful for those supporting me. It was so tiring and boring by the way. I even wished bijuan happy birthday 8 days late thinking it was 4th of November. I felt so bad that I lost track of time. I'm glad for being in SA though. I've learnt many things and am given many opportunities in SAJC that has helped me to grow to who I am today. I'm also grateful for my friends who had supported me throughout this journey and listening to me worrying about everything.
The teachers here are really supportive such that they never leave us alone. Really. (and I aspire to be like them in the future) I still remember Mrs Helen Goh nagging at me to always pick the right questions.

I'm also glad that I've joined saints advocates. Through that I've learnt so many things. Team Building Camp 2014 OIC, emcee and many little things that I've learnt along the way. I'm still quite afraid and shy of speaking in front of people. Nonetheless, planning for the camp had taught me to be practical and think rationally. Basically: Juniors first. They have to benefit most. Along the way, I had learnt to coordinate (It was no joke) and learnt that things that are not as simple as we think it is on the plan that we have to know our 100 page proposal really well such that we cannot refer to it in front of them. Dry runs are really important as we need to carry out to see if our plans worked. All the late night dry runs till 10pm and the many afternoon dry runs which require cooperation to work. Sticking to our budget and being stingy was what I had learnt during YFC.

All I can say is that I'm grateful for everyone and everything that happened in SA.

I miss being a student now.

This academic year wasn't so eventful.

Still lazing around during the holidays.

Doctor stranger

Just finished watching Doctor stranger.
Took 2.5 days to watch this drama. Though this drama was tad confusing and there were some parts that were not well explained, this drama was literally driving me crazy that I've to keep on going on to the next episode because it was so exciting. Well, its been a long time since I last watched a medical drama. I think the previous medical drama that I had watched was in 2012- Faith (The Great Doctor)- which more of fantasy and historical stuff which was interesting. I used to think that medical dramas were boring because all they do was to save lives. Yet, I had been proven wrong because of the plot which had made the drama more interesting (& Lee Jong Suk). Each patient they saved was a battle between 2 surgeons.
Han Jae Joon & Park Hoon, each having different motives which made it really exciting. Then comes Jae Hee who was involved in a secret mission with Agent Cha from North Korea. I thought she died at Budapest in the first episode (But then again the lead wouldn't die). I just felt that the drama was in a rush and it wasn't well explained in some parts which was a little confusing. Otherwise it is worth watching.

Someday when I read my own reviews I think I'm going to have a hard time re-picking my dramas to watch again.

By the way, I've watched almost all of Lee Jong Suk's dramas up to this. (Now left with Pinocchio)

 

My Love From Another Star

This drama is definitely the best drama I've ever watched in my entire life. I know that I haven't been posting here lately despite completing Alevels just a few months ago. I've watched 3 dramas to far, one of which is still ongoing. Since I've just completed My Love From Another Star, I decided to blog about this first.

I've watched many Korean dramas. First one being winter sonata/full house (I can't remember) but this one has never made me watch till 3am in the morning.
I must admit that I've never slept later than 12am this year and woken up later than 9am this year and yesterday 11/12/14 was my first time. (I thought Alevels made me have better sleeping cycles but no...) 

I'm pretty much an emotional wreck right now. I can't sleep because I couldn't stop thinking about this drama. Comedy, Romance, Melodrama, Fantasy. All in one drama with the best plot ever. I thought I watched enough to predict exactly where, when and what is going happen (which was what happened to My Lovely Girl & High School Love On) but this drama caught me. Its totally worth watching again. I'll probably watch this one more time in the future when I start becoming a bum and do nothing. (Not to mention Kim SooHyun. I've watched every single drama of his) By the way I totally love how they brought in characters and lines from Dream High & The Moon that embraces the sun. I totally laughed so hard in the midst of sobbing about their fate and hating the bad older brother.

I'll watch this again.
