SNSD, Everything Korean and A call from down under

Well..I didnt really wanted to blog till after my exams. However, I think this is a good enough reason to blog. A blog is used for various purposes and for me, its to provide a reflection of my life...and in some ways, some means of communications between me and my closest friends. For the past 48 hrs(@#$%^& thats a lot of time), I was sort of lost, wonder is it the feeling of burn-out from studying or what or it might be the fear that I cannot do well in the exams( u knw? those sick feeling in the gut kind)....ie to say, I am damn sianz and just want to be aimless...or rather i am already aimless...

Oks, as all of you should have known, I am REALLY and SERIOUSLY crazy over So-Nyun-Shi-Dae(SNSD) and everything Korean for the matter. Like I also listen to "Big Bang", " After School", " Son Dam Bi","Super Junior", "DBSK", " 2PM"....etc except wonder girls and to think they came out with "NOBODY"...haha...And I think this recent craze into K-universe is definitely due to SNSD...started to watch their variety shows, listen to their songs...And just like SHE, I became quite a big fan of SNSD now...and just FYI, its not that they are sexy, chio or wadsoever...though thats one of the reasons(not the main one,mind you)...I think its really cuz they are always themselves or rather show a side of 'commoner' feeling in everything they do. All of the 9 girls have their own dorky moments and they are not afraid to show it, just like what SHE always do in the past and still doing...thats why they are still popular and thats what truly make me attracted to them a lot. Of course, these might be all of those celebrity 'concepts' which they use to bring in the crowds...but lets not dwell into that.

Just looking at SNSD schedule, its really crazy and they have put in LOTS of live performance recently at music shows and award shows plus they have their own solo commitments. Can see them getting tired as well...really cui..At the same time, I really admire them for their perseverance, and that they are working as hard as possible to be a great entertainer. Most of us know it is really tough and SM(their mangement) have a reputation for REALLY pushing their artistes, and people like Taeyeon still can do live , dj-ing and act in reality shows, seriously blew me off. And I am sure that all 9 of them really work hard to go thru the SM academy and cope with such a crazy schedule. Everytime, I think about these artistes, it sort of make me realise that I also should work hard...and keep my mind on the goal...even if there are many times, when self doubt creeps into our hearts and soul. I am also not very sure...but it sort of inspires me a little...

I think partly the korean society is also a pretty much competitive society, just like in Singapore...there the kids started going tuition at a SUPER young age and all...so that explains their culture as well.

Then just now, earlier when I was taking a nap( some time to think), my uncle from down under called. He wanted to speak to my mum of course, but since nobody was at home. Then we chatted for around 25 mins lor...I wasn't in a really chatty mode and I was kinda sianz...so I think I got show some sense of sian-ness. However, due to my work in customer service, I think I had developed some kind of fake self already, like those self that is ever ready to come out and answer things in a certain pre-determined way..and for some moments it came out just now. Of course , eventually it faded away...so I was like going on about how difficult to get an internship during my 1st year and how the systems in sg is going crazily difficult ( take a look at the scores of A and O levels)...he said " well, nothing in life is easy one"...You knw, we always hear such stuff, but like what i always said before, cliches are cliches  for a reason....We were talking about how mother has to work more nowadays and then he said that she can retire in another decade time, and that she can do investing. I told him that mother most probably is looking forward for her " Round the World" trip...lolz..and that she always say " Son, you should hurry up, come out and work" " Learn how to earn money then can sponser for my RTW trip. " ....Lol...I always brush it off but for some reason, I have a sudden urge to fulfill that dream for her...Maybe cuz its also my dream to see the world, maybe its the innate conscience to repay my parents for bringing us up or maybe I keep seeing her work over the weekends( though she does seems to be enjoying it)...I don't know.

As u all have observed, I am trying to push myself to go for this final stretch, this last 14 days...I have lots yet to be done...but...seems that I have to do it right?

So, I hope that for you guys who got a chance to read this, HWAITING!!! and do not give up...because " In life, there is no easy way out"=)

Just in case some of you don't know who is who=P
