Hey there! I just changed my blogskin :) It's a little user-unfriendly because you can't navigate my past posts by headings or hashtags. So i'm gonna update the codings, stay tuned! (The font's kinda hard to read too..other than these 3 peeves, i'm quite satisfied) Follow me on the links below! :) 29/4/2015.

Started this blog during the last few weeks of SEM1(AY2014/15) cos' i regained interest in blogging. I blog about anything - news, social issues, music - but mostly about my university life :) Hope my posts will help you to make better life (and module) choices! Currently a Sociology Major. Still fresh. xD

Hitting the 2 month mark of my exchange so soon. In 4 days to be exact!

After travelling out for the past few weekends i've decided to stay in (more) this weekend to revise and finish all my future assignments. Nah, its cos my roomie is tired of long rides hahaha. I'm feeling a little restless lately, not quite myself baha. Probably need more exercise and sleep.

So far, the workload has been really light. I'm taking 6 modules here but it's not very intensive per se, maybe because it's information that i'm familiar with. Or i just can't be bothered HAHA probably

I figured out that it's a good time to reflect about my time in Korea in this juncture. What do I want to do here, and what should i work towards?

1. Use more Korean!
2. Learn Japanese. Go download that eggbun jap app. (I feel so insecure if i don't know the first language of the country i'm going to visit)
3. Go for more hiking! What about this sunday! Inwangsan. With my playlist and a sketchbook maybe haha.
4. Visit the National Museum of Korea!
5. Honestly not a clubbing person but i want to go to a korean club and a lesbian/gay bar.
6. Invest in a good handbag/sling bag
7. And a pair of sport shoes!
8. Visit Ikseon-dong and eat BBQ there cos the korean producer i met recommended this place haha
9. Ice skating in summer
10. Do my best to commit for TKNR even though i'm going jeju
11. And yes buy postcards and mail to my friends...sorry guys i asked for your some of your addresses but i haven't got the postcards hahaha
12. Read a book a week..starting THIS WEEK

1. The Element - Ken Robinson. (April)
2. Paper Towns - John Green (May)
3. My Life on the Road - Gloria Steinem (May)
4. Why Nations Fail - Daren Acemoglu and James Robinson (May)
5. Portfilos of the Poor - Daryl Collins (May)

Sometimes I wonder how people see me and what they think of me. It scares me a bit, honestly. I am sure though, that what they think of me, what they think my life is, is a complete misperception. I have always tried to show myself as a carefree person, as someone who wont get bothered because of public judgements. I am sure my friend and family think there is nothing going wrong in my life, that I do not worry enough, that I am always happy. And I am sure they probably somewhat hate me for it because, lets admit it, there is nothing worse than seeing someone who is life seems so perfect while yours is a complete mess. Truth is, I have become an expert at pretending. I think we are all experts or at least we are getting there.

links exchanged opened! just tag me but link me first
