Dear Santa,
I am not liking the "bomb" you dropped me for a present this Christmas.
Thanks for keeping my Christmas bomb-free as in, no explosions or rocket firing.

I don't even know how to voice out my dissatisfaction.

I just don't want to leave my fandom.

Love and promises to be a good girl next year,
Louisa.

HELLO WORLD!
Please be proud of me because I managed to navigate Blogger in Hebrew O:
(No, I didn't learn to read it.)

Reading the tags reminded me of something my mother encountered when she first went overseas.
Apparently she heard some Singaporean-accented English coming from a group of people.
So she went up to them and said: "Hi, excuse me, are you from Singapore?"
Their response was epic.

"Yeah O: Are you from Korea?"

My mother's face, as she re-enacted...
:D => ._.

--

So yeah I met my dad and I think he fattened up from the last time I saw him @_@
Shhhh.
We visited our old house in France (that's where the pictures in the previous post were from - specifically, Parc d'Sceaux in the flower and bubbles one) in the little suburb of Antony~~
The hedge used to be twice my height - now I'm twice its height.
Wowza, huh?

I had this WEIRDDD encounter in Europe k. @_@
While walking down a street at night, looking for dinner...
Most of the shops were closed and their windows shut.
However, there was one shop ahead that had its window open.
Out of curiosity, I turned and looked in.
My immediate reaction was:
"... OHMYGAWD." *walks away quickly*
Moral of the story is to NEVER assume that all open shop windows are innocent -_-
For everyone's sake I hope nobody's still clueless because I sure as hell don't want to have to spell it out in everyone's face.

And then there's an Asian restaurant called Mister Wong (lulz xD) with exceedingly confused decor.
I wanted to take pictures to substantiate my point, but I'd have looked like an idiot doing it, so... yeah, no pictures..
They have this ancient Chinese decor theme, with a dragon's open mouth framing the opening of the stairway leading up. (The fangs were really poorly stuck on -_-)
I spotted Japanese paper fans, a Buddhist altar and pictures of the Thai King and Queen on the wall...
Wind chimes and paper umbrellas (Thai? Vietnamese? Malay?) hanging off the ceiling...
And according to the bottle, their soy sauce is from Japan. @_@ just saying.

The menu, of course, has zero Asian references at all (fried rice? fried noodles?).
Except for "Thai" curry which turned out to be sweet and not spicy (Thai food tends towards sour and spicy the last time I checked).

Ever got the "Konnichiwa / Ni Hao" treatment?
It's when someone from really far away goes "KONNICHIWA!!!!" or "NI HAO!!" and looks really happy and excited when you turn around to see who the hell just lost his or her mind.
For some strange reason, "Konnichiwa!!" happens a lot more often than "Ni Hao!!"

It happened at the airport too.
We were looking at chocolates at some duty-free shop. Minding our own business.
When the shop assistant came up from behind us (it's rude to sneak up on people D<) and said "Konnichiwa, may I help you?"
My mum just smiled and said "We're not Japanese :)"
The shop assistant promptly studied my mother's face very intently for several seconds and said, "You're Chinese?"
(We ended up looking at the chocolates on our own. Without any assistance.)

But hey, don't get me wrong. We could have been Thai. Vietnamese. Korean. Burmese. Malaysian. Tibetan. Mongolian. Indian. Peranakan (Perana-who, they'll ask).

By the way.
I succumbed to the growing trend of online social networking.
I have LiveJournal and Twitter accounts (laxing, only one each!) ^_^
Honestly though, my LiveJournal isn't very active.
A lot less ~snarky~ Louisa there. (A whole lot more incoherence and maybe some emo-ness.)
And you wouldn't understand half of my tweets anywayz.
I'm serious.

And the above was pretty much pointless, just saying.
Time to sleep now, it's 5am back home omggggg @_@
Prolly won't be online for the next two days or something.

~*~ Merry Christmas! ~*~

Hi :D
Leaving for the airport in about 3 hours ^_^
To France first, and then to visit my dad :D

Apparently my parents want to make the trip to France a kind of blast to the past.
So... Here's a blast to the past too :)

Don't ask what happened along the way while growing up. I don't know either :(

Anyway.
See you at the end of this month!
그럼 전 여기까지-

안뇽! ㅋㅋ

How many people like it because everyone else is liking it?

After reading today's newspaper, I just feel pretty sad.
Korean wave now a tsunami?
But tsunamis are destructive T_T

Come to think of it, it really is like a tsunami, isn't it?
Starting small with the airing of Winter Sonata, building up with the airing of Jewel in the Palace, exploding in 2008 when everyone suddenly found out about DBSK, crashing to the shores in 2009 when Boys Over Flowers aired...
I can only hope it's peaked now and the worst of it is over.
I can only hope all it does from now is ebb away. (Please take the trail of destruction with you too.)

I said this to myself so many times, I would rather go to you than have you come here.
I wouldn't mind even if no one understood what I was talking about.
Didn't matter much then, won't matter much now and in future, right?

This year, I started hesitating when people asked me if I was a K-pop fan.
This year, I groaned when I heard that Korean stars were coming to Singapore.
This year, I had way too many embarrassing / annoying encounters with the K-wave.
(How about fan letters written using direct online translators? How about fanboards misspelling the artists' names when there's the darned Internet for you to copy from?)

You've had your run here, thank you for coming, have a safe trip back home, don't come here again, PLEASE.

*sigh*
(My point isn't about the length of time you've liked it. That is irrelevant.)

Have you ever encountered people who seem to make it their business to ensure you fully appreciate their presence / accompaniment?
These people just make me wanna:



Tabitha got eliminated from Singapore Idol.
Shall I abuse that .gif again?
She's pretty, has an excellent voice, speaks well, has stage presence...
She's basically the whole package.
T_T
I hope she releases an album in future. ^_^
LOL I remember flipping out when I chanced upon a YT video of her performance.
I was like "HEY THAT NAME'S FAMILIAR."
Then it really was her *__*
Should I pimp her performances? O:

Yes, I should.

Spectacular #2: Bohemian Rhapsody - Queen


Spectacular #3: 听海 - 张惠妹


Spectacular #11: Mama Do - Pixie Lott


Spectacular #12: Superwoman - Karyn White


OK so I'll be off now ^_^

L, is for the way you look at me
O, is for the only one I see
V, is very very extraordinary
E, is even more than anyone that you adore

And love, is all that I can give to you
Love, is more than just a game for two
Two in love can make it
Take my heart but please don't break it
Love was made for me and you~

No lah haha I'm not in love ._.
Joanne thought so. xD
Sigh whatever haha.

"Are you going Seoul'd Out?"
"No."
"WHYYYYY!"
"-o-"
Silent-but-not-really apology to V Lau for the less-than-enthusiastic response, but have fun!
The lineup's not bad.

Pimping FT Island and Brown Eyed Girls here.
And Taeyang's Wedding Dress, even though he's not coming. xD

FT Island: 사랑앓이 (Love Pain) + 바래 (I Hope)


Brown Eyed Girls: Sign (dot dot dot dot dot xD)


And Taeyang's Wedding Dress MV. :D


Yay I'll be off now ^_^
