music: the name i loved; onew ft. kim yeon woo

i've probably posted up pictures of it before, but you can never have enough of food pictures right, especially when they look as awesome as that. i'm not kidding when i say that i'll be very happy if someone learns how to make a cake like that, because then i'll be able to learn as well. online recipes look difficult and i'm so untalented at baking that everything turns out tasting like flour and nothing much else.

and i'm happy as well because wheesung's back! there hasn't been a fangirl post for so long already anyway, so bear with this. love his new song, and i'm still very impressed that his live performances sound so pitch-perfect. and to top it all off, shinee's still performing too, which means i get to watch two of my favourite acts all at the same time. overload of amazing music -- hence the relatively good mood these days.

unfortunately i do have a lot of work to do which kind of takes a bit of the happiness away. but i guess it helps the days move along. cannot wait for holidays! went for the exchange talks with rachel and yimean today, and couldn't help but miss korea when they were talking about their experiences in korea. thought of dongdaemun and how you could always find a shop open at any time of the day -- yes, even at 4am -- and how seoul is literally a city that never sleeps. it's always flowing with so much energy and life you can't help but be carried along because it's so infectious that way. kind of swings me towards wanting to go to korea for exchange, although that'd be pretty dumb because i'm majoring in japanese studies. wish there was a korean studies as well, then i'd totally do a double major in japanese and korean studies. although i'd still have not much idea what my degree would do for me when i finally do graduate. speaking of which, being the fickle-minded thing i am, i'm rethinking the whole japanese studies versus communications and new media majors again. choosing the latter as first major is totally the safe route, because it'd mean that i'd definitely have something to do in future since it is a way more general major. but i cannot see myself doing honours for cnm. i can however imagine how it'd be like just going on for the rest of my years in university doing japanese studies, even though i complain all the time about how tedious and overlapping all the modules are. thing about it is, it gets boring but at least i know what i'm doing in there. in cnm sometimes i just feel so out of my depth especially since a lot of the people there have some background in media studies from poly. not that competition is a bad thing, it's just that i don't see myself doing so well in there. and to save myself all the trouble i'm probably just going to continue with japanese studies as first major anyway, so i won't have to retake another exposure module.

okay, rambling over. i will now go and dig up more research on make inu. see all the wonders of japanese studies; you get to learn so much about a society you almost wish you'd never taken up this course so your perfect illusion of that society is preserved instead of becoming sullied by reality.

but we all wake from our dreams, don't we.
