The Heirs

Every now and then I will get hooked onto some Korean drama and ship the main characters for all they do.

This time round, it's The Heirs, 상속지들

Park Shin Hye, Lee Min Ho, Kim Woo Bin, Krystal etcetcetc.

Aren't they beautiful...

Rules of the Ruler.

Starting to feel repressed about the idea of working in school for internship.

Shouldn't I be getting the shit outside and get paid than to stay in a shell that can't be polished to shine because of the confinement within the school rules and regulations.

Cage.

We are asked to look for stories and issues. We are always trying to find new angles. The inflexible rules that the staff abide to for whatever reason, to deprive us of a grade that we rely on them for.

Dead end.

An interview is all I asked for. You denied me.

Would you give the same treatment if I were to approach you with a new status — as a worker under a highly notable corporate company outside.

I wonder.

Would you send me an email to deny my request and ask me to read the PDF you attached to the email?

Would you deny me of my request based on the fact that the department has been interviewed before by students in the same school as I?

Would you send an email to deny my request and then wish me luck with my assignment?

I wonder.
I really really do.

XOXO,
The Writer who Regrets.

the Ruler will not bend because the Pencil wants it to.
the Ruler will bend because the Hand tells it to.
I, as a writer is therefore a Pencil that tries to draw a curve
with the Hand who clamps down tightly on the Ruler.

Dilemma

I can.
No, I can't.

The Word Only I Know Of.

Braveless. (If you had read my previous post)

So, gripped in shock.
I asked around about the existence of 'Braveless'.
Nope, still doesn't exist.

Only my mum said it exists. It must be her.
She planted that word in my brain.

If it's of any consolation, I found a poem with the-word-only-I-know-of.

Braveless. It looks so normal to me.

Braveless.

After a day of interview, waiting around and getting filmed by a weird uncle.
I returned home.

I was pacing up and down in my house.
Restless, with no mood to do anything in particular.

And this word popped up in my head: Braveless.
It seemed to me that this word was legit. Like I had a faint inkling of using it in my composition as a kid or having come acrossed it in my lifetime.

But I was wrong.
I just made a quick Google search and realised that is no such word.
Flabbergasted, I flipped through the pages of the dictionary and to my utter horror -there was no such word.

How. How can this be?

Wasn't there ever a time when you used , "He was braveless as he ran into the fire."
Am I living in delusion?

Somebody pinch me now.
If it doesn't exist... Why did that word even pop up in my head?

2 decades down.

I have lived for 2 decades.

It was heartwarming to receive messages via Whatsapp, Kakao, iMessage, Twitter and Facebook.
And of course, snail mail.

Well wishes from friends and teachers; people I haven't been contacting with. Well, this is one of the times I feel that social media does keep us connected.

Got a brown chocolate cake from my parents!
Had lunch buffet at Tampines Swimming Complex, Nihon Mura.
Though I chose the location, I kinda wished that we had gone to somewhere we haven't tried before and has better quality food.

But I was craving for tempura.

May the year really be better this 2013.

Oh well, tata, gotta go to school tomorrow.
*yawns* oh the ho-hum.

Woke up with a bang.

This morning (Wednesday), I fell -right after I got out of bed.

So this is what happened...

I opened my eyes.
I sat up.
I stood up and took two steps.
That was all it took for me, no, for my right leg to give way.
My entire body slumped forward.
It felt like a second, everything was a blur and before I knew it, *THUCK!*.
There was pain and I was lying on the floor.

Blur.

I laid on the floor for a few seconds until I heard the pitter patter of my mum's footsteps.
(Better get up before she gets a shock out of her life)

I sat up and realised that my right leg was numbed. That was the reason why I couldn't feel strength in my leg and that's why it gave way. Stupid.

I hit my head against the side of the wall where there's a fake curb. Thank goodness it wasn't the hard solid wall, I would have died from concussion.

At about 4pm I had a headache. It hasn't gone away since. (It's is now 1.40am)

Bless me.

Seoul, South Korea.

Funny how I only remember to blog whenever I go abroad.

Well now I'm back! -fromKoreaa.
HAHA I mean, I'm back from Korea.

More than 10 years ago, I went to Korea and it has always been my greatest wish to go back to Korea.
At that young, all I could remember were the mountain we were asked to scale from within then back down again, the fried crickets at the foot of the mountain.

Sounds like a lot of things that I actually could remember but this trip to Korea was more than I had expected.

It was an IS trip to Korea with Ngee Ann Polytechnic for TEN DAYS.
Ten days definitely wasn't enough.

So from 27th February to 8th October I had 6 sessions of classes for 4 hours each.
Which amounted to exactly 24 hours of classes.


(to be continued)

I graduated from Hanguk University of Foreign Studies in 24 hours. (Yes, that's me.)
