Feelin Twenty Two!!

So yes, my friends. I'm officially twenty two!

I turned 20 here, and 21 here.

And my birthday just happened on the worst timing possible. Well it could've been worse (like during WWII or something.) But still.

So my birthday happened on the last week before FYP submission. History has proven that the week before submission would be the craziest week ever for most of normal human being. I had planned to finish most of my FYP before my birthday so that I could enjoy that day, and still go to YRC on Saturday.

And my parents just decided to drop by in Singapore the Sunday before that last week.

So that Sunday morning (May 5th), my Whatsapp suddenly rang. It was my mom telling me that she was already at Din Tai Fung, Singapore's Paragon.

My grand master plan crumbled into pieces.

Later on she told me that they (mom and dad) purposely planned to keep their arrival a secret to surprise me, and they planned to stay until my birthday, which means most of the days of that week.

Do you know how it felt like? DO YOU?

Knowing that your parents are here and yet you can't spend time with them? And every time you spend time with them you can't enjoy it because you know you need to do a bunch of school stuff in which if you fail to do you might have nothing to submit hence you might FAIL SCHOOL?

I'm not saying I'm unhappy they came. Please don't judge me. I was happy! But if you were in my shoes, you would understand.

I feel bad for them. They planned a surprise and it failed miserably. They came at the worst time ever. Sigh.

So the whole of Sunday (which I had planned to dedicate the day to do my homework) was spent with them. Very little progress on homework. Which made me feel terrible.

Hurricane of feelings behind that smile of mine.

Anyway. Monday I spent the whole day at home. Tuesday I went to class, then had dinner with them. Wednesday, my birthday eve, went to class, and another dinner with them afterwards.

We booked a place at The White Rabbit, some fancy smanshy fine dining restaurant at Dempsey. It really was pretty! Their steaks were really good! But I guess it's more to the experience rather than the food.

It used to be a chapel, this place. It really was very nice.

Their interior. It's a bar you see there.

The other side of the interior.

Menu and glasses. It was sparkling water.

The bread.

I don't know if you can see this, but it was some lobster soup. Quite nice lah was ok.

The main. Pan fried pigeon.

Dessert. Pear something.

OOTD!

Dad invited grandma, and turned out she couldn't eat any western non-rice food. She didn't eat much. So we wrapped things up pretty early cos she was hungry.

My parents were supposed to go home on Friday, but knowing my situation, they changed it to Thursday, so I could concentrate on assessment. Very understanding lah them :)

**

Midnight was reserved for Jesus. Nearing midnight, I shut off the mobile data of my iphone and put the thing to silent. Ended 21 with God, started 22 with God. Perfect :)

At 1 am, Ghon called me, making her officially the first wisher I responded to. We talked for about an hour before she finally went to bed. So sweet of her :) SHe slept at 2 and she's got work the next day.

**

The next day, the Wild Ones prepared a surprise at school!!

At Dhoby, I whatsapped Zie, in case she was near, so that we can walk to school together. Her whatsapp stated that she was online, but she wasn't replying. I kind of thought something was up, but I was never sure with my intuition, so I didn't bother much and walked to school alone.

In our Wild Ones whatsapp group, they said that we are going to eat at Zenso. But by the time I reached Zenso, noone was there and I was carrying a lot of stuff, so I thought I would put them in class, and walk to eat together with them.

I was about to enter the class when Huyen and Zie blocked my way. Now I knew something was definitely up :D They took my bag and all my stuff and put it in class for me. Then we (Wild Ones minus Feli) headed to Zenso for lunch. BUT. Something (or someone) made us change our mind, and we ate at the Gold Thai Food next to it.

After lunch, we went back to class, and when I opened the door, I could hear Taylor Swift's 22 playing, and Feli was there hiding behind the wall playing the song on her phone for me :D

AND. The class had turned very romantic. Lights were turned off, and there were balloons everywhere, and in the center of the balloons were a box of cupcakes with a candle on it. It really was childishly romantic! I love stuff like these!

They put a crown on me, made me wear this pink thing around my neck, and made me hold this pink wand. I know it's super cheesy but I LOVE IT. HAHA!

Made my wishes, blew the candles, and took a lot of pics!! I was so happy.

The crown, the wand, and the pink thing.

The cupcakes, a repeated pic, and the girls! And a bonus Jess' hot leg shot.

Excuse the face. I was very happy!

Paparazzos!

If any of my girls are reading, THANK YOU SO MUCH AGAIN!! Thank you for planner Zie and Huyen hence the successful event!! Who knows what might happen if Jess planned it? :p

Ate the cupcakes, and back to work straight away. Celebration over.

Oh by the way, just to remind myself, that day we took pics for Huyen's project as well. We were all wearing white :D

**

Honestly didn't make much progress at all that day, but I had already decided that just for that day, I shall not bother about homework.

Cepe arranged a meetup at 5, so a few minutes before 5 I left class. Cepe was already waiting at the TCC below NAFA. When I reached, Ce Joan and Fena was there as well :D Cepe and Ce Joan bought me presents!!

Cepe knew I wanted this book real bad. And she got it for me!!! :D Thanks Por!!!!!!!

Inside was a letter written by Cepe. You're so precious!! Thanks :,)

Ce Joan bought this GORGEOUS bouquet of red roses that I was supposed to carry around the whole day. It was such a beauty.

Survived a few long days before it eventually died. Look at them!! Beautiful!

We went to Cathay to play a few games of pool. I think we were waiting for dinner time. Fena and Cepe were first timers!! And the last game was me vs Ce Joan, and I won!! Can't believe it.

YES. I'M WEARING SHORTS UNDERNEATH.
It's the ANGLE people.

So around 8, we left, took a bus towards Orchard. They made me guess where we were going, and when I saw Far East, I guessed Saveur, and I was right!

So when I walked in, Ce Joan took out her Iphone and started recording. I knew something was up. There was this corner at Saveur which is a blind spot from the entrance. When I turned to the corner, I saw (most of) Sekia, and they decorated the table so pretty!! There were heart balloons tied to roses along the table, and in the center of them all, a chocolate cake and tea candles arranged to form my name!! It was such a beautiful view :,) And there was a pop up card by Fian with a JEREMY LIN pic on it. I was so happy!

Ko Ceka took this AWESOME shot when I just walked in.. It really is beautiful :D Thanks ko!
And we got a pretty cameo there ;)

So romantic!!

BTS. Before I came.

So I repeated my wish and blew the candles on the cake. As for the tea candles, they made me blow from a distance. I think I did not bad! Blew a lot of them off at the first blow. But blowing the few remaining was pretty tough. So I gave up and blew it from a closer distance.

Making my birthday wish. Cameo still there.

Attempting to blow the KIM candles.
And yes, cameo still there judging.

Sat at the center of te table, and all of us ordered dinner. I ordered their Duck Confit and it was REALY GOOD. You should try it!

Then there was the first cake, and the one and only rule is that the recipient must be an Adam. So I made a mini contest: asked them why they deserved the first cake. In the end it was Fian. His Jeremy Lin card beat them all.

Yes, husband. Still waiting for the day we shall meet.

Presenting the honor.

The night ended early. Kids needed to go home. Married woman needed to go home. Working adults needed to go home. We were left with me, Ko Nathan, and Cepe. But we managed to snap a few pics beforehand!

She needed to go the earliest. Married life :)

Dearest Ghon! She came after work.

Cepe who came early!

Fena! Came early AND after work.

Take my fats will ya Vid!

Pretty Cocow :)

Two mothers of the Curtin gang.
Thanks for coming early and reserving the place!

Curtin gang subordinate. Handy was missing!

Ko Ceka, Ghon, me, Mat, and Ko Natan.
At this point, Ko Natan just came from his meeting. Thanks ko!

NOTE HIS FEET.

Me, Cepe, and Ko Nathan went to pee at Scotts Square before we head home.
Cepe managed to snap this pic!

I decided to take a cab, because I was carrying a lot of stuff, and Cepe and Ko Nath accompanied me until I got one. We waited at Marriott and it took forever. Never wait at Marriott's taxi stand. Ever.

Thanks beloveds!

**

I got home pretty clean. The celebration was pretty civilized, I was expecting a little more torture. Last two years they covered me with whipped cream! And I didn't get to meet with the Nobars.

Regardless, I was sincerely happy :)

And Jamie and Jasmine jie got me presents! OPI nail polishes!! Thanks jies!!

And just like that, May 9th was over. :)

:)

**

You might think this post is over with the end of May 9th. So did I. But we were both wrong.

During the second day of our Bible Camp (May 18th, 9 days after my birthday), we had a game session. It was outdoors, and we were meant to ger down and dirty. At the end of the session, my group members were all pretty wet and covered with flour.

I was talking with Ce Joan when she suddenly held my hand, and her focus shifted to somewhere behind me. Before I could turn to see what she was looking at, cold water was pouring all over me from behind! And it was no sprinkle, it was a downpour of a huge bucket of water they used for the games! I don't know how many buckets they had cos the water just kept coming!

I said I was pretty wet already right? Now I'm soaked. All flour is gone, which kinda helped, but it looked like I had drowned or something.

I was wondering why I was the only one getting the water treatment, and later on I found out that it was meant to still celebrate my birthday. I was left unharmed on my actual birthday, and so here comes the harming. And since the ones who poured all those waters were members of Nobar (Ko Shandy and Anes, if I'm not mistaken), so I take it as my birthday was finally celebrated with them also :D

I'm really touched that they still bothered to "celebrate" my birthday though it was a few weeks late.. Really I am :) Eventhough it was just baptizing me once again.. It really was the thought that counts!

So in the end,
thanks Daddy God!
Thanks mami and papi! Though the surprise failed but I love the effort :)
Thanks Ghon! For arranging over and over! My schedule was tough but you guys made it work!
Thanks Cepe! I loved your letter and your present!!
Thanks Ce Joan and Fena for coming early!
Thanks Fian for the Jeremy Lin card!!!
Thanks Wild Ones for the cheese arrangement and celebration at school!
Thanks Sekia! Those who came so early to book the place, I know Saveur don't do reservations.. Also to those who came after work and school, thanks!!
Thanks Ko Nathan for still coming back after your meeting! And for accompanying me till I got a cab!
Thanks for the ones who baptized me during Bible Camp!
Thanks for my family for the present and ang baos!
Thank you for all who wished me Happy Birthday :)

Ok a lot of exclamation mark there. I'm excited again.

Good night!

That strong front that people put.

The walls that people build.

The bullshit people do.

People.

200513. The karaoke.

Disclaimer: All conversations has been simplified and reduced to its most essential meaning.

Ting tung!
*A whatsapp message*

Yohannes Wijaya: Cuy. Mo nongkrong?
Kimberly Ong: Bole. Dmn? Ak blm mandi ne.
Yohannes Wijaya: Tsera. Dempsey? Bugis?
Kimberly Ong: *no replies*
Yohannes Wijaya: Can answer faster?
Yohannes Wijaya: Coy
Yohannes Wijaya: Hellow

6.51 pm

*Yohannes Wijaya calling*

Kimberly Ong: "Hello?"

Yohannes Wijaya: "Tidur ye?"
Kimberly Ong: "Hehehe iye maap. Mo kemana?"
Yohannes Wijaya: "City Hall yuk. Gw nemu tempat. Soho Kopi(?)"
Kimberly Ong: "Sep."


7.27 pm
Whatsapp

Yohannes Wijaya: Ak jalan skg. Where r u?
Kimberly Ong: Bru jln jg.
Yohannes Wijaya: Ok.
Kimberly Ong: Sp aja tar?
Yohannes Wijaya: Matew Cilla.
Kimberly Ong: Ktmu dmn?
Yohannes Wijaya: Starbucks. Cityhall.
Kimberly Ong: Ok.


I met with the other 3 at Starbucks Cityhall. We searched for this place called Soho Coffee by foot. It was at 36 Armenian Street.

The area was pretty nice, with expensive looking shops. But by the time we found the place, it had closed for the day. It was around 8.30 pm. Cupu!

So we have to eat somewhere else. In the end, we decided on Poulet at Bugis+.

I was starving!!

Reached Bugis+, took the lift (who's got time for escalators?)

It wasn't that crowded, so we got seats pretty quickly. We ordered Poulet Roti, which was a chicken. Nothing to do with breads. They have a choice of half chicken or whole, and we decided to buy two wholes and split them between the 4 of us.

The chicken came pretty fast, and I immediately dug in. It was CRAZY GOOD. I mean, REALLY REALLY GOOD. Loss of words.

It was 28 something for a whole chicken. You should really go and try it. 10 stars recommended.

So we chit chatted until around 10, then we went to the arcade a floor above. Played a game of racing cars, then we decided to go karaoke.

There was this karaoke place called Studio or something at Bugis+ lv 3. So we went there.

Kimberly Ong: "How much is it for an hour?"
Guy: "For how many person?"
Kimberly Ong: "4."
Guy: "20++ dollars per room."
Kimberly Ong: "Alright. Thanks."

I made a call to Crown Music Box, another karaoke place nearby and asked their price. It was $17 per person per hour. Reported that to the other 3.

Yohannes Wijaya: *points to Studio* "Masuk coy. Skarang." (lol)

So it's decided just like that. We booked a room for an hour.

Sang a few songs when the waitress came in.

Waitress: "What drinks would you want?"
Kimberly Ong: "No thanks."
Waitress: "But you have to order a drink. 1 minimum."
Kimberly Ong: "Ok. What do you have?"
Waitress: *Hands out menu* "The cheapest here is 10 dollars. Soft drinks, honey lemon.."
Kimberly Ong: "Ok. One honey lemon please."
Waitress: "Alright. And the rest?"
Kimberly Ong: *looked at the others. They shook their heads.* "Um that's it."
Waitress: "But it's minimum 1 drink per person."
Kimberly Ong: "..."


I was like, no wonder the room was so cheap. So they ordered 3 ice milk teas, which was $11 dollars per glass.

So we continued our singing. Took a video but the voice was inaudible so I will not share it.

But a pic will do!

Our (or my) happy faces before what happened next.

A few moments later, the same waitress came into our room.

Waitress: "You have 20 minutes left. Do you want to top up?"
Yohannes Wijaya: "Anything."
Kimberly Ong:" I don't mind."
Matthew Nuradi: *shook his head* "Bakal ada kiriman barang besok pagi. Ngga usah deh." *faces the waitress* "No thanks."
Waitress: "Do you want to pay now or later?"
Matthew Nuradi: "Now please."
Waitress: "Ok." *leaves*

And we sang some more.

Anes was the one singing when the waitress came back with the bill. She presented it to me since I was closest to the door. And I saw 3 digits of bolded number on the bottom. THREE.

I grabbed the bill, and went through the whole thing.

It was all correct.

Including the taxes.

The total of our spending was $63. And the frikking taxes made $63 grow into a big fat $102.

Dear friends. Please do not underestimate any "++" signs.

Kimberly Ong: *stunned. Tapped Yohannes Wijaya who was singing with all his might.* "Nes.. Nes.. Billnya.."
Yohannes Wijaya: *glanced at the bill. Stopped singing.*

The little piece of paper went to Cilla in silence, and then to Matthew. We were all stunned.

Mat was the first to go back to his senses. Took his NETS card and paid. The waitress left the room. Then the whole room went bananas. Anes was changing lyrics of the song he was singing to express what just happened. I was laughing of disbelief. Cilla and Matthew was expressing whatever they felt in their own way.

In the end, it was Matthew's treat. He is leaving this Friday for good, and he said it was a gift for us Nobars. Thanks Mat!!

But even though I didn't spend a cent for the karaoke, it was still upsetting. I cannot believe we spent a hundred dollars for an hour of karaoke. It was a staggering Rp 700.000!!! Gosh.

I don't know what to say. It was almost funny.

Anyway. Had a good time, still. I think we will laugh about this is years to come. And may God bless Mat for his $102 a hundred fold!!

Bye!

I hope

This guy exists.

Click!

Click!!

Helping my friend advertise her loved one :D

"What's your name?"

"Amy!"

"!@#$%$^&" *unclear*

"Sorry?"

"I just wanted to say, you're pretty cute! That's all!"

"Hahaha thanks!"

Amy was happy. That made her a little more happier.

Reporting from 3.50 am.

Just woke up to continue doing my work.

Praying God makes time move super slow for me.

Over.

Thank you!

I would love to post about my birthday but I need to do work right now!! So it shall be postponed :)

That being said, to all that celebrated today with me (read: Wild Ones and SEKIA), I love you and thank you!! You guys really made it special!

To all that wished me happy birthday because you really remembered, thank you very much for remembering!!! It means a lot to me :)

To all that wished me just because you see others wishing me, or just by the facebook notification that I purposely turned on at the very last hour, still, thank you! :)

In the end, the person I want to thank is Daddy God :)

22 years ago, I was born without knowing The One who basically created me.

Led my first 17 years of life not knowing the meaning of it.

Then another 3 years not sure of where I would go after I die.

And finally the last 2 years slowly knowing and learning what Jesus my Father is really like. And I am so blown away.

22 years full of searching for myself and finding it in Him.
Of wanting friends and received it from Him.
Of trying to get to heaven, and found the way in Him.
Of crushes, heartbreaks, and healings.
Of rights, wrongs, and learning all the way.
Of lost and gain.
Of being left and leaving.
Of anger, sadness, and happiness.
Of growing in the revelation that I am a precious of Him.
Of growing in the revelation that I am undeservingly loved by Him.
Of growing in Him.

This is a God who never let me go. A God who caught me when I thought I didn't need Him. A God who planned for goodness in my life. A God who brought peace in whatever storms that may come.

I'm 22 and I'm feeling GOOD!

Be blessed :)

God.

So yesterday my parents suddenly came here.

I spent the whole day with them, and came home so tired.
But come to think of it, I didn't do much. It was more of sitting down rather than walking around. I guess I was mentally tired. Maybe a little frustrated. Didn't talk much.

I planned to do my work the whole day yesterday, and it got so disrupted by their sudden arrival. The whole time I was with them, my mind was constantly on my FYP at home. So I couldn't fully enjoy my time. And I feel kinda bad because they wanted to make it a surprise for me. It was just that the timing was VERY wrong. Well, a surprise it was. Both for me and them.

I'm so saddened by the fact that they will be back on Friday. And the last day of set up for submission is on Saturday. Which means this whole week I'll most likely be doing my work. Which means I won't be able to spend much time with them while they are physically so near. Sigh. Complaining.

All these were burdening my mind the whole day yesterday, that by the time I reached home, I got so tired. Like, physically. It was almost as if the mental tiredness translated to my body.

It was around 8, and usually 8 pm is just the baby of the night. The moon still has a long way to go! But yesterday I went straight to bed. My eyes were super heavy. I played Man of Sorrows by Hillsong on my Iphone. The idea was to rest a while, and then back to work.

Turns out, before the song ended, I was already gone in my sleep.

Woke up a few times after that, but was still super tired. So again, played the song, and again, before the song ended, I was gone.

I really woke up at 11.30 pm, feeling terrible. I really didn't want to do any work. My parents are here!! I could be in the hotel with them right now! Sigh.

But did some work anyway. Watched Running Man. Listened to sermon. Talked to people online. Anything to accompany me doing work. Made some progress.

Worked all the way to 5 am, then headed back to bed. Any later and I would've seen the sunrise and I hated seeing the sunrise before bed. It is just WRONG.

But I couldn't sleep. Maybe because I slept like some 3 hours previously. So there I was, lying on my bed, hand grabbing my $5 teddy I bought when some secondary kids came to church selling some stuff for their fund raising. Though I've had him (yes, it's a him) for quite some time, I fell in love with him just recently.

So my mind wandered away, and it ended up at Jesus. What else could I think of?

I sung the lyrics of Man of Sorrows in my head.

CHORUS

Oh that rugged cross my salvation
Where Your love poured out over me
Now my soul cries out Hallelujah
Praise and honour unto Thee.

You know, the Holy Spirit could use any moment of your day to reveal a new revelation of Himself?

That moment, 5 am, on my bed, He revealed something so basic yet so powerful:

The man that died on the cross was GOD.

Yes yes, this is a basic knowledge if you're a Christian. But really, think about it for a moment.

This is GOD we're talking about. He was the beginning, He created the whole universe.
I did a post on this a while back, so I kinda know what's out there beyond our earth. He freaking created all those. He has full control over them. He owns them!

And not only the universe, He owns the Heavens as well! The Highest among the highest! He rules myriads of angels. He is a KING! Perfectly holy and just, and all together lovely that angels would just worship at the sight of Him!

This is a God who split oceans, stopped the sun, sent fire from the sky.. The One who is all powerful and mighty! Who created everything, who owns everything! The big G. O. D!

And he left all that, to come to the earth He created. The Creator, born again as one of His own creations! That is mind boggling. God is so huge!! And by huge I mean HUGE. We are but one speck among all His creations!

How about this. Canis Majoris is the biggest star out there. If the earth were the size of a golf ball, Canis Majoris would be the height of Mount Everest. SEVEN quadrillion (that's 15 zeros) earths can fit inside of this star. That number would cover the state of Texas 22 inches deep in golf balls.

And you can fit 1 million earths in the sun.

And yet you can't even see it compared to the size of a galaxy. And a galaxy is one spot in a local group. You local group is one spot in a supercluster. And a supercluster is a tiny area in the observable universe.

And God, He CREATED all that. So I guess it's safe to say that it means He's "bigger."

And that God came to earth, as one of us, His created.

And what did we do to Him? Freaking killed Him. And He knew all well what we would do to Him. But He still came.

The fact that we weren't physically present during Jesus' crucifixion doesn't mean we can say that we didn't take part in killing Him. No, He was crucified for your sin and my sin.

Yet despite all that we have done to Him, He still is a God who asks us to cast our cares upon Him.
Who asks us not worry, for He provides.
Who supplies non stop grace, which is always sufficient.
Who asks us who are heavy laden to come to Him, so that He can give us rest.
Who promises that surely goodness and mercy shall follow us, all the days of our lives.
Who works behind the scene to help us.
Who makes everything work out for our good.
Who leaves His peace with us.
Who came to serve us, instead of asking to be served.
Who promises to never leave nor forsake us.
Who prepares a place for us in heaven.
Who promises food to eat and clothes to wear.
Who gives us Himself, in the Holy Spirit.
Who heals.
Who is eager to bless us.
And tonnes of other promises of His in the Bible.

What kind of God is this? This is too good to be true!!
Who forgives like Him? Who loves like Him?

I can't get over the fact that GOD HIMSELF died for me and you.
It just hit me last night that I basically killed Him. Working hand in hand with the rest of humanity.

And yet, He rose again, still full of unwavering love.

He didn't send an angel. He didn't send a very good man. He sent Himself.

His goodness doesn't make sense. Knowing fully that the ones He came for will torture and kill Him, He still came, just so that we can be with Him.

So there I was yesterday, on my bed. It only took a few seconds for the Holy Spirit to reveal all this to me, but it changed everything. I've heard all this. I've known this all along, and I've always believed it!

But last night was the first time I realized with all my being how big of a deal it was. How extremely huge and deep and wide the reality of God becoming a man was. Moreover, the fact that I was one of the ones who crucified Him. I am just as good as being there scorning Him 2000 years ago.

I'm out of words. I can only feel it, words doesn't do this revelation justice. I can't get over it. This just blows my mind no matter how I think about it.

Oh, it's revelations like these that change your life.

Ask God for revelations! You might not know just what God will reveal to you about Himself.

So I shall go to bed now.

Readers, be blessed!

The Silvertip Grizzly.

This is the Silvertip Grizzly.
Another illustration piece for my project.

So why put this guy here?

I'll answer the question above beginning with a bloodhound.

A bloodhound knows who walked down the street last night at 11PM, what the soles of their shoes were made of, to the brand of cigarette they were smoking. It has the ability to follow a scent trail left several days in the past. Under optimal conditions, a bloodhound can even smell a single cell!

The number of olfactory receptor cells are 4 billion in a bloodhound. Us humans have an embarrassing 5 million. They are trained by the police. Probably the ones you see on TV.

Cool, huh?

Well, the sense of smell of a Silvertip Grizzly is SEVEN times stronger than that of a bloodhound.

It can smell your fear.

Here's an article from cracked.com.

You see, silvertips can smell your fear, just like any other scary-ass predator. But unlike most predators, they can smell your fear over distances measured in double digits. In miles. These bears can smell a carcass from 18 miles away. When a silvertip enters a clearing, you're screwed even if you left 48 hours before. And if you're still there, all that sweating, pissing yourself and crapping your pants while you ran away will be laying down a neon-colored trail for the bear to follow until you get tired.

So, the Silvertip Grizzly holds the title of the animal with the best sense of smell.

The universe is awesome.
I'm really getting smarter from all these researches.

Man of Sorrows.

This song is absolutely beautiful.

I first heard this during the easter period. But never realized it's beauty until today.

Take a listen. Drown in the lyrics. It's just stunning.

This morning I received a whatsapp message from my mom.

Saying she's currently in Din Tai Fung Paragon.

I was like what? Trying to absorb what's going on.

Then she added she was with my dad.

Mind = blown.



First of all, she rarely travels with my dad. It was usually with my grandparents, or with one of her friend. So seeing the both of them travel together alone was unusual.

But the most shocking of all was the fact that she was HERE, out of nowhere. They planned to keep it a surprise. Boy did they succeed.

And all the plans of doing my homework got so messed up in an instant. I ended up spending the day with them, with my mind so distracted about my homework.

Gosh.. I'm happy they're here.. But the timing was superbly wroooooonggggggg!!

I have my submission next week, and they'll be here the whole this week.. It's sad that I can't spend a lot of time with them. Sigh.

Running Man Guys!

From the most my type to the least my type!


1. Gwang Soo! (duh)

The youngest, and the most bullied out of the Running Man guys.

So why him?

Well I know a lot of people don't get this. People always make judging faces everytime I tell them I like him. And I understand! It seems like he's a coward, a joke. Definitely not your typical cool handsome guy. But cool and handsome are never on top of my list anyway.

What I like about him the most is the fact that he's funny :D Watching the show for over 150 episodes, he never runs out of "stupidity", which keeps things interesting IMO. And that's what I look for in a man: Ones that are not boring.

Another thing is his sincerity. He doesn't try to be cool. He's not typically cool, and he's fine with that, and I like that! He knows he's a joke, and kinda embraces it. Cool :)

And if anyone say that he's not gentle, I. beg. to. differ!
Pay attention to the episodes. The editing team of Running Man never highlights this, but he always takes care of Ji Hyo, the only female on RM!!
In episode 28 (guest Kim Byung Man), Ji Hyo was hanging on this fitness machine for one of the challenge, and when she was trying to get down, he was the only one to assist her.
Also in episode 129 when they were playing this hockey game, Ji Hyo was overwhelmed by the costume and had difficulties walking, and Gwang Soo helped her. He's very attentive!

And he's not that ugly at all. I think he's kinda cute! And tall! And a Christian too! Love.

Now, from number 2 onwards, none comes close to how I like Gwang Soo. But still, I shall list them.


2. Gary

So why Gary?

Again, he's hilarious. And he doesn't even try, unlike Haha. Gary is funny just because of who he is. Haha is funny because of what he says.

He's a simple honest guy, what you see is what you get. Unable to lie, he's very easy to read.

And I like how he behaves as Ji Hyo's Monday Couple. They joke around a lot, and I would love my relationship to be like that one day!

And among all RMs, I like how he dresses best. Gwang Soo can be a little too dressy at times, but Gary is just simple and normal. I like guys who dresses normally.


3. Jae Suk

Again, funny and sincere. I also like his body proportion. Just nice and proportional. Not too fat, not too skinny.

And I like his smile :D


4. Jong Kook.

I do find his muscles too big. Having a dad like mine, I don't need no more muscle man in my life.

Dad.

Jong Kook cares too much about his look. And gets angry easily.
But the show without him would be boring.


5. Haha

I don't find anything about this guy interesting. Please forgive me Haha fans!

Yes he's funny and all, but his kind of funny is different from Gwang Soo and Gary's.

But again, without him, RM will be boring.


6. Suk Jin

This uncle. No comment.


So there you go!

And I shall go back to doing my homework!
