Another Weird Dream [ft. 2ne1]

Just another old weird dream I had. This one featuring 2ne1, a girlgroup singer from Korea. They are wellknown for their unique personality. You can watch their daily life in their TV shows called 2ne1 TV. There are videos with English subtitle available online.

In my dream I was 2ne1's friend. I was chit chat-ing with them during their break time. We were in a room that full with their clothes, maybe that was their dressing room. They all wore casual outfit like what they wear when they are practicing. 

I talked to Dara first. We went to an aisle outside their dressing room and talked there. I don't remember what we talked about before. What I remember we talked about how we celebrate birthday in Indonesia. Of course I talked to her with my broken Korean. Hehe

Another Weird Dream [ft. BEG]

This morning on my way to work suddenly I remembered my weird dream I had almost 2 years ago. I think I had this dream when I was addicted to a Korean variety show called We Got Married where Jo Kwon of 2AM and Gain of Brown Eyed Girls (BEG) appeared as couple. I posted it in my old blog, but I want to share it again here. I'm still laughing and shaking my head thinking How could I had such a weird dream when I remember it. 

For you guys who don't know who Brown Eyed Girls is, they are a female singer group from South Korea. One of the member, Gain, recently appeared in Psy's "Gentleman" music video.

Singaporean Elderly, The Unknown Heroes

Have you ever thought what will you be or you do when you are in your 60s, 70s or maybe 80s? You have worked hard on your young age with a goal to enjoy what you have in your old days. Maybe you picture yourself enjoying your retired days, traveling the world, sit on a beach bent somewhere far away from your home country enjoy the sunset or a simple one, you just relaxing at your house reading your favorite books and watching your grandchildren play around happily. I do have those pictures in my head.

A couple days ago, I just went back from my short vacation to Singapore. When I was there, the thing that quite gave me a shock was the Singaporean elderly who are still working in their 60s to 80s. They are cleaning tables and dustbins, sweeping and mobbing the floor, collecting rubbish, even cleaning the toilets. I know that there is a regulation in Singapore that said those kind of jobs are only for the elderly, but isn't break your heart when you see these pictures?

Merry Christmas

Another lonely Christmas I have this year. Right on December 25 I have to go back to boarding house because I have to work at 26-28. Thank God I could attaended Christmas service back in my hometown on Dec 23 and was still able to gather with my family even if it was only for 2 days.

Now while I'm typing this post, I'm all alone in my room at boarding house. I plan to spend this whole day reading The Ring of Solomon by Jonathan Stroud. I know that is so not a Christmas reading but it's the only book I bring from home, so I guess better than nothing.

The Other Site of Korea

What's on your mind when you hear a word "KOREA"? Seoul, K-Pop, K-Drama and movies? I believe people will think about a country with good economy, modern living which is South Korea trademark. Even if you search about "Korea" in Google, all South Korea related pictures and websites appear in the first place. Do you ever think about the opposite of those mentioned above? Poor economy, hunger, isolated country and communism? If your answer is "yes", you belong to that very small people in the world who think about the other site of Korea.

Me, myself think about South Korea when I hear the word "Korea". North Korea was almost never come into my mind. I never searched anything about it, never knew what kind of country it is, how their people live and so on. Until last week I searched Google map and I found this
