korean food
came back from dinner with some of the local canadian law students i met this week. they're really really a damn nice bunch of people. we had korean food at seoul garden (no relation to the singapore branch) down east broadway, and the food was so good! bbqed pork belly with bibimbap, and all the small side dishes like kim chee and everyone was going bananas over the side dishes and the fascination of eating with chopsticks. wahaha.
and this ang moh girl liz, who's in my human rights and international law class, is a real entertainer! when i came in she told me in chinese (she went to china for 3 months and picked up chinese there) tt she was drunk. and i thought she was kidding coz it was only 7pm and we hadn't even eaten!
turns out she was drunk. spent the entire evening conversing with me in chinese, very loudly, telling me she wanted to eat chou doufu (smelly beancurd) and pickled eggplant, tried to speak chinese to the korean restaurant's boss, and kept on hitting relentlessly on the irish guy next to her. and the poor guy was like... UM. well.
and our host ben, who was also ang moh, had spent an entire year in korea, and as a result could speak korean too. and he ordered for us and spoke to the waitresses and boss all in korean. and his ex-gf actually worked here too so he could get a decent meal (and i'm talking everyone eating so so so much meat until we were so stuffed we couldn't even move) for all of us at a reasonable price.
only thing is tt i think he was hitting on me. not good.
speaking of which, i got propositioned for my number by a passenger in a cab at a red light when i was waiting for one of the girls to pick me up. and i had to keep saying 'no' until the light turned green coz he wouldn't give up. jeez.
walking back from the bus terminal at night is an experience coz the campus is so big and dark, and you worry about your safety here coz it's not like singapore. can't wait to take my hapkido class. will feel safer knowing how to break a wrist or two if necessary.
anyway there was this crazy party on 5th floor tonight. party meaning drink lotsa beer, get between high and utterly fucking wasted, stand/sit around and talk cock till 'quiet time' at 1am. my neighbour dragged me down to the 5th floor. didn't want to drink coz i want to and hope to wake up early tomorrow. hope i can. anyway it was ok socialising with a couple of semi-drunk to totally drunk people. i guess maybe i'm too old. i'm around 2 or 3 years older than most of the party animals in my hall, so doing this doesn't appeal to me the way it once used to.
oh well. and i accidentally swallowed my chewing gum just now. fuck.
gotta wake up for shinarama tomorrow.
now playing: hotel costes - cafe de flor
