I was too tired last night to write this up so I thought I’d bundle yesterday and today together in one big post.
Saturday 27th
Yesterday I travelled to 분당 early to meet 서영 at her school. Once again I was looking right at her but managed to miss her ^^” We haven’t seen each other for about three weeks so it was great to see her again and she was looking really good. We walked on to the bus stop and took it to 교보 Bookstore where we each bought MIROTIC [she gave me her poster, so I have two now :D], some books for her and some cards for one of my students’ birthday.
We were both a little hungry so we went to Minto Cafe and got some lunch. It was nice to spend some time together in a quiet place and just talk about things. In fairness, not a lot of talking happened as we were eating but when we were done, we went to the local Movie Room and ‘relaxed’. We watched two movies and I thought they were both rubbish. I wasn’t really paying attention but I would have preferred some other background noise :P
After two hours + an extra hour, we went to meet 주성, a friend from school and her partner in class. He was tall and friendly and although 서영 was useless at helping along the conversation, we had a good time over dinner. I’m really glad she has some good friends to help her out at school and be there for her when I can’t. It makes me feel a lot better and I hope I communicated that to him.
You’ll notice in the above picture that there have been two new additions to my wall. Obviously, there is the MIROTIC poster from my album purchase but also the 빅뱅 poster that my wonderful girlfriend acquired for me ^^ As I mentioned earlier, I have a second MIROTIC poster but I think it would be greedy to put it up. I’ll give it to one of my students I think.
Sunday 28th
I allowed myself two extra hours of sleep this morning because I was shattered when I came in last night and seeing as I have no plans today I thought it was OK. I had left everything where dropped it when I came in last night so I set about tidying the apartment after my morning Internet round up and went to inspect my leaking boiler. My previous apartment had a dodgy boiler too as I’ve written about before and I love to know what I do to make them break >_< Anyway, I had to move some of the furniture that was here when I moved in away from the boiler because it was getting soaked. My plan to put it on the roof to dry was almost thwarted when I realised how heavy the furniture was but using my immense strength and tactical cunning, I managed to get it up the ladder and onto the roof.
I went to the Lotte Super to get some food for the day and then threw in the washing when I got back. I still have some tidying to do out in the terrace and I have to mop the kitchen floor, but these can wait until I’ve had some time to finish listening to MIROTIC…oh, I just have :D
MIROTIC
I had read a comment this morning saying that there were perhaps too many love songs on the album so I was a little worried but my musical tastes have changed quite a bit and I was willing to give it a fair run. Well, there are a lot of slower tracks but I think they’re pretty good and the whole album has a nice feel to it. I definitely would have liked to see some more exciting tracks in there but I guess they’re still working off that Japanese vibe. I knew they should have released some digital singles before this album to get rid of any trace of their Japanese style but never mind. On to the performances! :D
