The battle fought within my mind Tuesday, June 14, 2011 Last blogged @ 9:24 PM Saw a friend's pics on fb. AND HE JUST WENT TO KOREA. D: D: D: I am so envious! Got reminded of my nearly making it to korea stunt Shernice and I pulled ALMOST successfully on my parents. Why ALMOST successfully because, it was during the period where the 2 Koreas were having 'fights'. So like 5 days before I left my mummy found out and she erupted, resulting in us having to change our trip destination to either london/Japan, where we obviously chose Japan! <3 Hahaha. BUT STILL, I am dying to go to Korea. And visiting North Korea is top on my list. I mean just seeing my friend's picture of the railway to Pyongyang got me so incredibly excited. Like don't you guys too think it is really interesting to see how Kim Jong II controls the people, stifling their lifestyles. I really do want to understand how the people are brainwashed or if they actually even fully subscribe with no questions asked to his methodology of ruling. KOREA KOREA KOREA. ALL HAIL KOREA. And truth be told, I desperately want to go to Korea not because of all that K-Pop drama, I honestly couldn't care less, but really because of the immense history it holds. Extensions of the Cold War; The Korean War, division of peninsular etc. The culture. The palaces. The scenic surroundings.The food! OMGOSH. And perhaps the whole novelty, or maybe not that much of a novelty anymore, of going overseas with one of my bestfriends. The whole preparation behind travelling, the researching, the planning of daily itineraries, the transportation/hotel arrangements. Oh dear me, I can't wait to go overseas alone again! The immense freedom I get. It's just incredibly blissful (: But for now, all I can do is to work hard, atone for whatever mistakes I have made last year. Be more disciplined, work so hard, and push boundaries. I need a breakthrough for my econs! Please please keep me in prayer. But anyway, before I get back to History <3 <3 <3 [Talking about Korea makes me so excited to be doing history!] Hahaha. I made Korean Rice Cakes today! They are pretty healthy I guess. Low in kcal. [10 tubes' like 220 kcal, so I use 7 which is 22x7, do the math yourself hahaha. And the sauce's like uh 87 kj for 1.5 tablespoon. Pity the sodium level is kinda high. So, drink more water (: Don't make this a 3 meals a day thing haha] Okay fine, I may be tethering across the line of being OCD over my weight but it doesn't matter. Everything I'm doing is healthy. I think. Hahaha. *Oh gosh! I just emptied a cup of water on myself. Hahaha. Okay cheap thrill for you guys. Haha.* Anyway! I shall post my awesome dish. I don't care if you guys are not interested in what it is, but this is my blog so I will do whatever I want. Hahaha. Soaked Rice Cakes! Chicken! Bring it all to a boil. Put in the sauce, some pepper and salt and stir! (: Can you see the bubbles! :D Smells awesome! Yumyumyum :D Its like fate. I'm supposed to be doing Extensions of Cold War today! Back to Korea ;) |
