summer 2014

Summer.

This time last year, I was in Korea. To think just like that, a year has passed.
This time last year I was very happily introduced to a small, cozy apartment in a place called Myeong-dong; learnt the art of making sushi-lookalike called Gimbap; broadened my knowledge on some Korean vocabulary from "excuse me, how much is this?" (which came in much handy when we went shopping in Seoul) to "no, that is mine!" (just so I could be on par with her sister whenever she attacked me with the exact same words). I miss Korea dearly. With good food, a cozy home, breezy weather, sweet family... It was hard not to fall in love within my 10-day stay there.
What warmed my heart was to see 5 lovely faces at the end of my stay pleading for me to make my visit again... 
Oh, what I would give to go back...

Gimbap-making day!

 what I would give to spend my whole day in a library/bookstore like this...

 She's a keeper *wink wink*

 home-cooked food that was simply hard to resist

*PS. spot the out-of-ordinary cutleries!

 and comes the traditional Korean that cannot be missed

 ...and Subin herself :)

This summer, I'm staying at home. And I quite like the idea of it.
No more running around for clothes and towels and chargers and Sammy, sprinting to board the plane, speed-walking to get my luggage bags, and waiting for a taxi under the blazing sun that threatens to burn my skin. No exaggeration intended! Merely from past experiences, mostly back at home in China... Well, mommy's home. Hehehe.
I'm entering the 5th day of my summer holidays and so far, it's been pretty productive I would say. *swallows, thinks, blinks* Yeah, pretty productive. So far. 

I would like to highlight how I spent my day on Tuesday, which was rather hilarious to think about. An inside joke that perhaps only insiders would understand. Firstly, it started off as SNKM whilst STAR was unified sometime around noon. Then, N headed home, whilst the remaining SKM went to meet STAR to have a ST. MARKS dinner with Thai as the theme (and M sweating, no pouring perspiration down his face and K just moaning about the spiciness of the Tom Yam soup. After all, we were in a Thai restaurant...what did I expect? However, though, the day still ended with the 5 of us all squeezed up at the back of the car with K on S and S on R, lucky A in the middle - formation like that of our name, SKARS. ♡ 

As I type, two of them are on the plane to America... And I'm missing my best friend now. When I need someone to talk to... But please be safe and have a lovely time there. 

dating back to the 2nd term of form 4, to the long nights filled with tears and laughter... 

*PS. our beds were never thissss far apart, just an act to please Pathma! I bet it was Pathma Day!
 

米修米修... ♡
