All the things that I wish for ♥

Been long since I last used this space, and 20+ days flew so fast that it's gonna be 1st November by the time I finish this post, lol (Or near).
October was a steady month with ups and downs, and I can only wish for November to be much better ^^ School has started and so has CDS, short for Cross Disciplinary Subjects for TP.
I took up French and Psychology and happy to say, so far everything I'm learning up till now has been able to stay in my head and has been quite interesting for me. Feel even more thankful for the friendly classmates I have for both classes ♥ Though it was a little bit hard to try and talk to them from the start, but I'm glad that I've made some friends teehee. :D
Glad that I had been able to achieve some of my October "resolutions", or how I call it. :P
Like:
- Able to watch ghost movies without being scared (EXCLUDING THAI HORROR)
- Lose 4 kg mehehe... Better than nothing right?
- Fought the many bouts of temptation to trim my fringe and now it's finally long enough to be tied all the way back (WOOHOO for myself - cheap thrills)
- Stay focused since school started and revised each time after a lecture / tutorial (But POM still seems difficult to me :( )
- Saved up some money for my planned Birkenstock sandals, Tiff & Co.bracelet and Note 3. Kudos to myself mehehe. (Side note: It's extremely hard for someone like me to save money so I'm proud of myself hehe)
- Learned how to sing most of the songs in my playlist ♥♥
- Finished watching all the dramas I've had in mind before school started, like; A Change Of Heart (HK), Queen of SOP (China / Taiwan), Snow Is Burning (Superrrrr old China drama), Boys Over Flowers (Re-watching over and over again)

And I guess that's most of the things which I've managed to WANT to achieve and actually DID IT. Hahaha proud of myself looking at all of those things. Moment of happiness thanks to cheap thrills. ♥

So I've made a list on what I wanna achieve in November and well... Hope I can achieve it luh if not... I won't talk about it. >< HAHAHA.

OH and, thanks to French CDS, I've started listening to some awesome French songs and two super nice ones which got my attention are "Comme Un Hic" and "Donne Moi Le Temps" by this preets singer called Jenifer. Just go search it up on YouTube and you'll be able to find it! But for people who HATES French language I don't think you should even try to listen because it's kinda irritating at first, even for me hahaha.

Ending off with an XOXO ♥

Short getaway; in the small red dot ♥

Back to reality~! Had a refreshing short getaway with the poly mates and although the getaway was reeeeeally short, but glad that it happened. ^^ These 3D2N was well-spent at the Aranda Country Club and I've had lots and lots and lots and lots of fun. I was gonna go on and on but, you get the drift. Haha. So many firsts happened like:

- First time being the one to help start the fire and BBQ for people
- Learning how to play mahjong for real and playing it throughout the night
- Spending the night with classmates
- Buying alcoholic drinks for myself and the peeps

So much to love about this getaway thanks to the location, people, and so many more things. I'm not really a chalet kind of person, so I don't really know what kind of chalet there were out there, and because we were in kind of a rush, so we just booked whatever chalet we could, and thankful for my mum, we got the Aranda Country Club at just $80! I was so elated and happy to share the news with the peeps and we were having so many plans prior to the event and I did some research up on the place. Dumb move because I nearly scared myself for nothing when I saw some reviews talking about ghosts and all. *THANKFUL FOR ZERO-CREEPINESS*

First day was kind of a rush because the check-in was during the late afternoon (3PM), and the directioners (some insane name we call ourselves) went shop before getting our lunch because most of us hadn't eaten anything >< Had our lunch at Just Acia and the food was just awesome, with free flow of drinks and ice cream as a bonus! ♥ After all that, we went back to the chalet and started some games like blackjack, mahjong and all, and then it was photobomb session. Haha. I wasn't really that "enthu" for the first night so I slept kind of early like 3plus? In the end I tossed and turned till 5plus before my eyes closed LOL.

Next day all the early birds, including myself went out to grab some mac breakfast and kfc porridge for ourselves, but we got a disappointment when we saw the kfc closed. :( MAJOR BOOHOO. Then time passed and in the blink of an eye, it was time for BBQ! Halfway through starting the fire, we had a mini war with some ants and a disgusting hornet, and before we knew it we were all squatting down like some police catching some teenagers in possession of drugs. Too funny a sight for me to forget. Hahahaha. Finally I start to see more familiar faces of 1K05 and our preets SLs ^^ The whole chalet just felt abit more lively with them around. More is always merrier hahaha. After 4+ hours of BBQ-ing, I ran to the bathroom immediately because the smoky smell and sticky feeling was super strong >< After that, we had a looooong time chatting, playing, blackjack-ing, and playing mahjong. I swear beginner's luck exists because I was on a winning roll. Heehee. Had my first try on Heineken beer and it was damn gross. >< Tasted and smelt like garlic. It's just damn gross. I'd prefer long island tea and Breezer to beer on any other days. After one full round of mahjong, it was 8am and I went to catch a 1 hour sleep. *Mad shagged when I woke up* And not long after, we were bidding goodbyes. T.T

♥♥♥

All in all, this getaway was really awesome and one of which I will definitely remember for a long long time haha. It's just been a day and I'm already missing Aranda. :'( For you people out there, you can consider this place for your own getaway too because it's really an awesome place. Firstly, the pictures of the website doesn't disappoint because what you see is what you get. And unlike other chalets, Aranda gives a more homely feeling where it's just an apartment with two bedrooms - one with a queen-sized bed and the other with two single beds. (Apparently the girls got the one with the queen-sized bed heehee) The whole place felt lovely and not creepy at all. The location was really convenient with DTE and e!hub just in front. The only downside that I felt was probably when I found out we couldn't cook except boiling water. >< So that's all for today!!!! Gonna end off with some pictures heehee. ♥♥♥

On the way to the chalet! ^^
Some card games I brought over mehehe. >:)
Breezer's the best. ♥

October + EXO Sasaengs

♥ OCTOBER ♥

Fun, joy, laughter, excitement, experiences, adaptations, change.

I've received all of these in just a period of 30 days in September, and everyday I wake up looking forward to more pleasant news and surprises. ♥

It was the month where I ended my first semestral examinations in TP, where I got to meet up with all my favourite peeps (most of them), had an enjoyable night with the ITE mates, and had my first try on an alcoholic drink :D Not such a big deal though, cause it's just Breezer. >< Can't wait to try more hee.

Feel so thankful for such a smooth-sailing month of September, and I can't wait for all the good things to come in October. ♥♥ Started off the month with the piece of good news that we got the chalet we wanted for the class! Yay to that and can't wait for the arrival of next week! Hee, even though I say that I'm still kinda creeped out a little because I had nothing better to do and went to search on whether the chalet is haunted or not. YES I'M SERIOUS. The good thing is 3 out of 4 reviews said that the place was good and 'clean', so I shall not venture further into anymore creepy stuffs on Aranda hahaha.

Although September has been really fun and all, I was stuck at home since Monday and so I don't really have much to blog about going out. :( But I am soooooo mad pissed at this particular topic that surfaced just this week and I just really feel the need to rant it all out because I'm seriously bursting. >:(

EXO SASAENG FANS

Sasaeng fans, as defined by Wikipedia, refers to those "excessively obsessed Hallyu fan. They are extreme fans who stalk their idols and invade their privacy with questionable methods."
 

I had always been a fan of kpop, and just recently became interested in the kpop group called EXO. I find them multi-talented during their performances, quick-witted and honest in their variety shows, and also always showing their brotherly bond whenever they make confessions and such. Just 2 days ago, I came across a piece of news with the headlines, "Sasaengs Attending EXO Baekhyun's Brother's Wedding". I didn't know what Sasaeng meant at that time, because I've never heard about them when reading articles on other idols like Big Bang and SHINee, but I got a really negative first impression of this word when I went on to read the article. To sum it all up, Sasaengs (I'll just call them that minus the 'fans' because they don't deserve to be called that way) went into the wedding uninvited and stood on the chairs for guests and relatives of the wedding to video the EXO members who were present (there were 3 members who came to the wedding to congratulate the couple with a song). Apparently even after the members begged and reassured the Sasaengs that they would give them autographs after the wedding, they were still trying to push around. Baekhyun got really angry because after all, it's his brother's one and only wedding and he didn't expect this to happen. From another source I'd read, 


One of the Sasaengs hit him in the throat because they were being ignored. WHAT IN THE FUCKERY IS THIS?? YOU PEOPLE DESERVED TO NOT JUST BE IGNORED BUT THROWN OUT OF THE PREMISES AT THAT TIME. Not only that, they gave Baek chrysanthemum flowers to threaten him for ignoring them. I SWEAR THESE PEOPLE ARE PSYCHOTIC.

And just when everybody thought that these crazy Sasaengs has ended their nonsense, out came a letter of threaten for Baek to warn him not to treat them like "Insects", and that they find it cute when Baek gets angry. WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU PSYCHOPATHS?! YOU ARE SERIOUSLY AND OBVIOUSLY VERY DISORIENTATED.

I find it really really sad and upsetting that such things are happening to EXO. They used to be cheerful and happy-go-lucky guys who are always smiley-faced and cheerful to people they meet, well, when the cameras are rolling, at least. And these things are happening to them, making them lose their cool and all. Not just EXO, I pity the actual and normal fans of them to be categorized together with the Sasaengs. People who categorize fans and Sasaengs, you are really degrading the fans.

Apart from this issue, apparently Sasaengs of EXO did many other disgraceful things which I just have to mention because I'm puzzled and grossed out by what they have requested the members to do.

1. "Sasaengs asked for EXO's sperms" - WTF IS THIS?? Why would any sane person request for such a thing from anyone?! This is seriously degrading and not just to your species (Sasaengs), you're degrading girls as well. Where are your morals, where is your dignity? Is that what you should do? Even if you really LOVED them, you don't ask for their sperms okay. This is just gross and awkward and all. OMG level 10/10

2. "Sasaeng came into EXO's apartment and when Kai asked the Sasaeng to leave, she smiled and said, "I would do it again." - Now even though this may not be as gross as other requests I've read, but seriously? After you have been confronted and scolded face-to-face with your idol, how would you have the face to smile and say that you would do it again? Are you out of your mind? Are you that desperate for their attention????? OMG level 7/10

3. "Sasaeng does sex with taxi driver when they don't have enough money to pay." - THIS IS MAD DEGRADING! PEOPLE, IF YOU CANNOT AFFORD TO BE A SASAENG, JUST BE CONTENTED WITH LOOKING AT YOUR IDOLS IN THE POSTERS. WHY WOULD YOU DO SUCH THINGS OMG. How would your parents look at you if they knew you were doing such things, all these nonsense, all for? An idol who most probably does not even know of your existence. THIS IS PURE STUPIDITY AT ITS HIGHEST LEVEL. OMG level 10/10

4. "A sasaeng said she'll cut her vein if Luhan dates someone not her." - WHAT. JUST, WHAAAAAAT? These people you are worshipping are just pure human beings. They came from their parents and I'm sure they want to be a parent themselves too. Someone really needs to slap this fan in her face and ask her who she thinks she is. Does your idol know that you exist? If the answer is no, I don't think he would actually know if you cut yourself too. WHY ARE YOU SO DUMB OMG. You are really delusional, girl. OMG factor 8/10

One of the last point I've read. And this OMG level would be 100/10.

5. "Sasaengs collect their menstrual blood to give to EXO as present." - THIS IS DOWNRIGHT SICK. WHAT IS THE MENSTRUAL BLOOD FOR?! EVEN IF YOU DID GIVE THIS PRESENT, AND EXO DID RECEIVE IT, AND AFTER PROCESSING THIS WHOLE SITUATION IN YOUR BRAIN, DO YOU THINK THAT EXO WOULD EVEN KEEP THIS GIFT?! THEY WOULD THROW UP AND THROW IT AWAY THE MOMENT THEY SEE IT. THIS IS MAD GROSS AND AFTER SEEING THIS POINT, I CONCLUDE THAT NO SASAENGS ARE SANE. 


Look at happy Baek on the left. ♥

And look what he became thanks to the Sasaengs. >:(

Sasaengs, idols are normal human beings like you and if you want to be obsessed, do it at a stage where you don't hurt them. If you've gone past that extent, you're no longer a fan. You're just someone who creates public nuisance in getting unwanted attention from your idols and people around you. If Sasaengs continue to go on like this, the group would eventually have to stop activities and disband at the worst case scenario and all fingers would be pointed to you because you're the root of the problem.

Hopefully EXO can stay strong through this tough time. EXO HWAITING 

That's all for today folks. XOXO.
