16th dec..
another cloudy day...
the party at atlantic was cancelled because it has closed down! haha..
this town is boring its pubs to closure.. man..
so instead, they are having one at the foyer at utt..
so i will go after my last - i hope not - climbing session at the omnisports hall, with baek of course..
wanted to watch 'to kill a king' last night, but they talked so much that i actually dozed off, so me and baek changed to 'the day after tomorrow' instead..
the thing is, it's in german..
i don't know where my friend got the show from but yes, it was in german AND chinese subtitles.. so.. i tried to understand it, some of which are quite wrong, and it was not too bad..
still i dozed off some time into the show..
it was not that it was not good or something, just that i was kind of tired after 8 hours of lessons, maybe..?
citroen's tv commercial for their new c4: http://www.citroen.co.uk/c4/homepage.asp?pagetype=c4..

baek had sent me lots of traditional korean songs, which had found its way into his laptop after we watched the korean movie "don't believe her!".. quite entertaining..
it has a very nice song which i liked a lot.. so i asked baek to search for me..
and instead of just 1 song, he sent me about 30 of the most popular traditional songs!!
and the most interesting fact is that the style and rhythm is so much similar to those of japanese and taiwanese traditional songs that i suspected that they have the same roots..
oh well, does the fact that japan had occupied korea before ring a bell? maybe..
i wouldn't say i'm a hardcore fan of such songs but i grew up listening them because my dad liked traditional japanese songs and my aunties listened traditional taiwanese songs..
although i had ziltch idea what they're singing but i enjoyed them nonetheless..
and i find the way they sing rather amusing: they would look sorrowful when they sing and will look towards the distant and raise a hand towards that direction, as if singing to someone at that direction, and they sing with lots of throat tremble.. very nice..
weekend's just round the corner already.. last saturday seemed just yesterday! ah..
oh well, back to car magazine, no i mean my studies.. you get the idea..
