We found it! A restaurant selling authentic Korean jajangmyun in the heart of KL!

Well, we nearly ended up eating at a regular ol' barbecue, but luckily we decided to ask if that shop was selling 'Korean Chinese' food. So like Japanese Chinese food restaurants in Japan, there are Korean ones selling noodles and dumplings. (the Japanese ones have more variety with Mabodofu and some other stuff)

And here's the proof:

Please bring me along, if this makes your mouth water.

Disappeared for more than a month. Too many things to ponder upon and simply afraid to voice it. Perhaps i've been too angry or upset to say stuff, afraid to reveal what i think. Today, this two weeks, i guess i've decided to take a light-hearted stance towards some of the shit that bothered me.

Apart from all that ... i've caught Pratchett Fever!!!!

It all began with a nice and coveted parcel of books as a belated birthday present, one of these being Terry Pratchett's Thief of Time. i've always avoided buying Terry Pratchett or even looking at his books because i thought, Man ... look at his body of work, the Discworld series is this entire two rows of a shelf at least! Quite scary, just thinking about it. In addition to that, i also tend to get huge headaches reading fantasy fiction. Because just imagining it, entire worlds, brings about migraines.

So i guess you could say i had my doubts. And the first few chapters of the book didn't help either. Cryptic and confusing. However, his satirical wit shone through too brightly. Therefore i read on, and got trapped. Then i went and bought Thud!, and The Wee Free Men. i decided to take a break from so much Pratchett and so very little money kinda forced my hand. But last week i bought the second Tiffany Aching book, A Hat Full of Sky. Itching to read it now ...

Hmmm, should i read today or leave it till next week when i go on holiday? Or buy another Pratchett and read this one now? Aiya, too little time, so many books. And believe me or not, i do intend to eat up all the Pratchetts. You think i haven't caught anything serious?

SONG FOR A MOOD
Hard Life / Meng Ngang - Justin Lo. There he was, belting out Leslie Cheung's song with Gary Chaw at Gary's Welcome to My World concert. I still prefer the original version of that song. And this one ... one of his nicest. It's romantic. But it also makes me think about my working life, quite tough, babe.

been trying to put up Seoul pix. cannot be done. either it's pixies or some bugs or ... i dunno. but go here la to view.

Even tho i'm one hand trying to stay cool, calm and happy.

i guess on another hand, this day this minute this second i feel dark.

'swallow it down, like a jagged little pill ...'

while Jay was worried about our whereabouts (the fact that we were, quite, quite lost), i was tagging along, enjoying the feeling of not knowing where we were headed and where we wanted to go, humming to the tunes of Alanis Morisette. And what i felt was a kind of joy - that Gangnam was a regular sort of place, where the working people were, where they went for lunch in groups and even though they may have a million troubles in the place called 'work', they went for a nice lunch all the same.

i've forgotten this feeling for a long time. i'm being forced to be responsible for a whole bunch of things and people, some of whom i wish would shrivel up and die sometimes. How i'd love to not work. Well, i've always wanted a job shelving books, day in and day out. 'Cos i love it. And i love the feeling that they look great to other people, too. But when i took this job, it didn't entail all the burdens, anguish and unwillingness that i feel sometimes.

But that walk in Gangnam, took me into this place. Where i saw the expressions i wish to have. Even if i'm not good enough, i'm happy enough. And i'm happy enough if i'm putting books in alphabetical order. Simple, uncomplicated. The rest, let it rest. i wish to keep that afternoon in my heart, in my mind. i think sometimes going places also means finding some of yourself in it.

And eventhough it was the Jagged Little Pill album - ironic and a whole bunch of other songs that helps me to remember that fateful day, i choose ...

SONG FOR A MOOD
Gaining Through Losing - Ken Hirai. The first album of Hirai's which i owned. For this song, which i liked in Chinese (F4, forsooth). But funnily enough, i started to like Ken, i have many other albums. And this album, this song is where it all began. Also reminds me that you gain some even if you lose some.
