UKM, HERE I COME!!

I'm going to study in Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia! And I'm going to study anthropology!
WOOOHOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!

Hahaha, forgive me for being a little mente loca, but, but I'm just thrilled to go there!
Wanna know why?

1) I don't need to fight for my major in Sophomore year.
2) I DO want to study Anthropology.
3) I've lots of familiar faces there. Schoolmates from CLB, CBN and SABS. I guess it does pay to move around a lot. XD
4) Although I was half prepared to fly over to Sabah, but I get to be in KL!! Which means that i won't miss out on Kaleo's visit to M'sia, (hopefully) not miss any DBSK concerts anymore, and the most crucial fact of all....

THE CITY BUM'S BACK IN TOWN!

5) The uni's away from the city, but yet not too far away. A girl's gotta study, non mon ami?
6) The library's FAMOUS. Need I say more??
7) My dad got his Masters there...

XP
The last one was unnecessary.

In case you were wondering, I missed out on the concerts because....
Rising Sun: I was being "relocated" from KL to Kuantan a.k.a. Ham Yue Land .
O : I was busy sitting for my SAT, STPM and TOEFL. All within a month. The whole experience was as good as attempting suicide.
(DBSK? AGAIN? They seem to be the only thing i ever talk about! SHEEEEEEEEESH....)

Heck, who cares now anyway? UKM, here i come!!!

Of nauseating things but nonetheless makes you say “oh, S***!!”.



It’s two friggin’ a.m. over here and I’m finally out of the john. Which would mean that I have been in the loo for a record of two and a half hours. It just so amazing, what your body is willing to punish you for not eating enough roughage. Which might explain why the world has a rich collection of sadists. (Hannibal Lecter, anyone?)

Honestly, who would want to volunteer for such an enterprise? It was not to my amusement as I figured out within the cramped four walls of why, we English speaking sapiens, call people we dislike as “pain in the ass/butt/derriere” etc. I can assure you, that by the end of the first half hour, you would be pondering upon the question of “ am I in the Inquisition?” and “ If I am, would I rather be burned at the stake, beheaded by a guillotine, or having my own guts torturing the living daylights out of me?”. What more when the torturing session lasts four times longer. *oh, JOY.....*

If you don’t believe me, abstain from any veggies/fruit or pop two iron pills. What will ensure would prove to be a taste of pure hell on earth.

Judge a book by it's cover and be damned.

Two weeks ago I was in Kuala Lumpur when I finally got a copy of DBSK’s TRI-ANGLE. Focus on FINALLY. It took me almost two years to get my hands on it. Those of you who are the true blue fans of DBSK from the get go, shut up. I wasn’t “converted” until a month before “O-Jung.Ban.Hap” came out. In fact, you may call me one of the anti-fans, due to my continuous character assassination of the members then. Ironically, the song that made me hate them so much was TRI-ANGLE itself.

What’s to hate a song so much, right? I mean, I sure as heck dislike anything from Ayumi, SMAP and Metallica, but I don’t hate them to that extent! I don’t publicly assassinate their characters like I need to make myself a social outcast. I am not a masochist. However DBSK was the exception (then).

Firstly, they totally bulldozed Mozart’s Symphony no.40 in G m. I mean totally razed it into the pit. Rocking up Mozart is applaudable. Great DJs do it from time to time. But the way they jammed it? Not acceptable even to this day, no matter how much I claim to love them. (maybe that's why I never bothered to be an official Cassiopeia member?)

Secondly, I personally hate guys with extremely evident make up. Yun Ho and Jae Joong looked like gigs, Chang Min a Desperate Wannabe and Jun Soo had a bird tailed crown and silver eye shadow (!). Micky Park looks like actress Chae Rin in the MV. Sorry, Micky-shi, but you really did.

I think I’ve done enough damage here.

After that, whenever I heard anything DBSK, I would:
1) blabber in disgust
2) switch stations, or
3) screech.
I admit the last one was way off kilter, but I guess you now know how much I hated them then.

What made me get past that ONE miserable song?

Two songs. Free Your Mind and Step by Step. They brought me back from the verge of insanity from living with a person suffering from what I call as SADS. Single And Desperate Syndrome.

I wasn’t exactly thrilled when I found out that they were the ones who sang the songs. I was hoping they were sung by any other group. Then I did some “research” and was completely flabbergasted when I found they sang “HUG” and “내 여자친구가 되어줄래?” . *gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa*

I guess you just can’t judge a singer with one song, can you?
