make-up = mask?!

This is a quite famous story about 10 or 20 years ago in Korea. It suppose to be funny but I am not that good at story telling so you should have to compensate.


One guy met one girl at the cafe. He liked the girl because she was quite pretty. So when they met day by day and then they fell for each other.
We, Koreans normally working 10~14 hours day so most of the time this couple dating at the very night of the day in the cafe where is very dark but there also has very pretty colorful light in it.
So finally they were getting married one day and went honeymoon to Jejudo where is island and famous for honeymoon destination.
Normally, Korean society does not allow to sex before marriage. (This changed a lot nowadays, but this story was old one so...)
After they arrived Jejudo and then they checked in the hotel. They were very shy to staying same room together but meantime very excited, too. When the girl came out from the shower, this guy shocked and said that "Who... Who are you?"

Because this guy never saw her face without make-up.

watching movie especially good one

If you would like to watching movie especially good one, you can just go here http://www.imdb.com/chart/top (After that, you feel like you want to have some more, you can visit here AFI's 100 years.. 100 movies http://www.afi.com/tvevents/100years/movies.aspx and Time magazine All-time 100 movies http://www.time.com/time/2005/100movies/the_complete_list.html. You can find some other websites, too.)

I am really enjoy watching it. I strongly suggest that do NOT use subtitles.
I was regretted that I couldn't watch it more earlier and why didn't I learn English more earlier.

about me...

This is me Ara who came from Korea and studying at Malaysia.
Finally, I have done my study and I am going back to Daegu in Korea at 28th November 2007.
I haven't been to Korea for 5 years so you think I am not familiar with Korea, you are wrong. I knew too much about Korea. That is the actual big problem because I can do a lot of things if Korean people let me. Either case, I will be powerless.

I am not that interesting about working at Korea(because I will probably powerless person on the earth.) so I will try my best for what I have to do in Korea and probably move on to other country.


------------ This is new one for facebook.

I would like to listen someone's opinion. That should be cultural thing, technology, internet business, movie or TV series. I am not living in London, but I would like to listen Lodon talking 97.3MHz radio(http://www.lbc973.co.uk/) program through internet, because I can listen people's opinion about a lots of things.

------------ new one

You'll be surprise once you getting to know me, because I don't use fancy word and look not very nice. I just express what exactly have in my mind, no more no less. That's what most girls-maybe Asian girls- don't like me because they too much care about fancy word and how he looked.

Topic in facebook.com - None of my Korean friends call me 'pll kon seong' but why would I want to foreigner call me 'pill kon seong'?

originally http://www.facebook.com/topic.php?uid=2245127154&topic=3453

So every body call me my name for 'Seong pill kon'. Isn't that a wise decision?
I wrote my Korean blog about this issue - 이름을 영어로 표기하는 방법 http://kr.blog.yahoo.com/asrai21c/993
But, a lot of Koreans still use either way. Please, read my blog's article and think wisely.
Think about very carefully.. What was your name for?

If you would like to have some special name, there has a nickname right? That's what nickname for. So you can use nickname instead of changing your real name like me. So sometimes I can write 'Ara Seong' because if I said to Korean that my nickname is 'Seong Ara', Korean will imagine meaning of my name and laugh at it-When I thinking about it, I admit it that I laugh, too. So I will probably use just 'Ara' to Korean.

comment for my friend's blog

orginally http://navinkaur.blogs.friendster.com/the_life_and_times_of_nav/2007/09/its_my_way_or_t.html

Hey, Navinda. How are you?It's good to see you here. Even if I don't visit here a lot.

It is good thing that you try to something different. You should read "Who moved my Cheese?"(It's story about why change is necessary.) or "The 7 habits of highly effective people"(I read it very long time ago but what I remember is that if you want to succeed in your life, you should become a extremely well human being.)

I just tell you one thing. My friend said to me that "life wasn't fair!", you know. But, what I wanted to tell my friend is that "You did not acted fairly." It's like that, you know. If you playing bitch, everybody do bitch to you.That's what I call the life of fairness.

But, normally Asian country does not need girl behaviour like that. So why should you care?
Maybe, true. But, if you want to succeed in your life or career, you should try it.


Working is always hard but if you try like what I mentioned, it won't be that hard.

Anyway, have a enjoy your life!

I will copy this to my blog, too. It's here http://ara21c.blogspot.com/

comments for the 'Ratatouille (2007)'

movie info - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0382932/
originally http://imdb.com/title/tt0382932/usercomments-281


Make a new history and new future for Pixar and Disney

I watched it a few hours ago and I could not help to stop thinking about this movie.
Every scene was beautiful and incredible story and it was really funny movie.
I believe I laughed almost an hour or more.
Plot pace was quite fast so I felt that movie is more than 2 hours movie and enjoyed it very and very long.

Reason for saying this movie is make a new history and new future for Pixar and Disney.
Because when people talk about the animation is for child only and then movie was not good enough for adult, this movie can shut them up.
Most interestingly, when I watched movie in Malaysia cinema at 4.40pm show during weekday, I heard that adult are laughing around (let's just say) half an hour and kids are laughing around half an hour and they are laughing together around half an hour.
It was very interesting experience. I watched movie alone so sometimes I felt bit sorry for kids beside of me because I laughed a few times when their not laughing so they did not understand why I am laughing at.
So my point is adult can enjoy movie very much and kids, too.
Adult should not have to lower down their expectation from the movie.

I do not know about what happen in the native English speaking country's cinema but I think it probably have same happen to them.

So I believe Disney and Pixar did it again for new generation of family movie.

There has one problem, maybe. Kids are not enjoy much than other Disney Pixar movie, maybe. I am not so sure about it. But, at least all the family member can enjoy it so it was good thing.

I highly recommended to anyone.

10.0 out of 10.0.
* added at 21 August 2007
I rated as 10 but it is possible to go down when I was watched it again. However, it will most likely stay at nine-point-something rate between 9.5 to 9.8.

comments for the 'Notre-Dame de Paris (1999)'

musical info - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0285800/

originally http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0285800/usercomments-9

I am not big fan of music but this musical amazes me.

10 out of 10

I knew music was beautiful and it makes me feel better but I do not really enjoy listen the music and especially classical music such as opera, Beethoven, Chopin, Mozart's music and philharmonic orchestra. I knew it was all wonderful music but whenever I listen to them, I will definitely go sleep. So I wouldn't enjoy it. I can enjoy part of the music. For example, the movie "The Shawshank Redemption" when Andy go to the prison's announcement room and then playing the opera(I believe this is one of the best scene in all time.), it was beautiful music.

But, I do like watching musical bit childish way because I would like to watching classic Disney cartoon movie such as Beauty and the beast, The lion king, Aladdin and so on.

I watched "Notre-Dame de Paris" about 1 or 2 years ago and that time my English wasn't that good enough to understand the subtitles and interestingly I don't even remember what story is about so I don't have any idea what to say about it.

And then a few days ago I have been listening the some musical album such as Les Misérables and Cats. Surprisingly, I realised that how much I enjoyed their singing and playing. This is the what happen when you watched best movie or performance. It's out of nowhere it came to my mind. I don't even know what they talking about or what this story is about but I was so badly wanted to watch it again and listen to music again.

I must give rate for 10/10 because I don't even understand what they were saying or talking about but I still want to watch it again.

This is extremely powerful and beautiful performance and energetic and splendour musical. It doesn't matter whether anyone likes musical or not so I highly recommended to anyone.

comments for movie "Hwasango (2001)" (modified)

It was funny movie. It made that way., 14 July 2007
Author: Ara Seong from Kuala Lumpur, Daegu(Korea)

** I modified this comments.

User rating was too lower than it seems. This is advice for how you can enjoy watching it.

1. Avoid watching English dubbed version.

2. This movie is comedy.(IMDb.com forgot to mention it.) Don't even think about otherwise. It is like Kung Fu Hustle. This movie's proper genres are action, comedy and fantasy.(This movie is based on the comic book.)

3. You can enjoy watching Jang hyuk's silly and funny acting. I believe his one of best acting on this movie.

This movie was extremely funny like Kung Fu Hustle. If you enjoyed Kung Fu Hustle, you can very much enjoy this movie, too. I don't remember how long ago. When I visited some VCD shop, I saw a lot of times shopkeeper watching this movie. It was that funny movie.

My rating - Kung Fu Hustle (8.3/10) - Hwasango (8.9/10)

Hwasango was so high rating because I don't need subtitles. It is one of my favourite like Oldboy.

*** I just watched again and then I realized that it was a little bit overrated. What I remember the movie was that it was extremely hilarious. And it was hilarious but this time I recognized that action scene(i.e. flying scene) was not really smooth. Maybe, because last time I watched it through VCD so I couldn't recognize. Shaolin soccer also quite same happened.

I am not sure what will happen if I Kung Fu Hustle watched it again, probably my rating should less than that.

My rating - Siu lam juk kau(Shaolin soccer 7.1), Hwasango(7.5)

When I saw the "CBS: A closer look at the iPhone" video, my mind immediately response that it will succeed more than iPod.
This time I won't tell why is that so because I will develop my own website for this kind of things and I can consulting to the other gadget develop company about this.

AT&T Receives 1 Million iPhone Inquiries
Posted by Chris In the News Leave a Comment
One million people to date have contacted AT&T, Cingular’s parent company, asking about the iPhone, said AT&T’s Chief Operating Officer Randall Stephenson today.
Stephenson (pictured below at CTIA) said many of the inquiries were people asking if they could pre-order the iPhone.
(more…)



I know a lot of very nice pda or gadget such as Palm, iPaq, Clie, HP jornada, Nokia's best selling phone, Motorola E398, Razr V3, Sony Ericsson's a few Walkman model and PSP.
I've got impression not like any other gadget. I felt like when I first time saw Palm Pilot with Nokia 3310.(Nokia 3310 was quite different experience because I am Korean and I couldn't speak English when I first time saw Nokia 3310. And when I was little a bit fimilar with English, this phone came to me. When I learned English more, I did learn this phone's real identity.)
That was the reason why I choose that article title. If you know Palm Pilot and Nokia 3310 very well, you will know what am I talking about.

gp2x - handheld gaming machine with linux

GP2X.co.uk official site - Buy the GP2X Linux console http://www.gp2x.co.uk/

Main Page - wiki.gp2x.org http://wiki.gp2x.org/wiki/Main_Page

GP2X.org http://www.gp2x.org/

myGP2X: The GP2X FAQ http://www.mygp2x.com/faq/#_Toc119326348


I was surprised, when I read "The GP2X FAQ". So I just cited the some part.

------------------------------------------------
What's a GP32?
The GP32 is a really cool predecessor to the GP2X and has been very successful on the homebrew scene. Although it looks like a Nintendo Game Boy Advance, it can do a whole lot more.
We're not going to cover the GP32 in details - you can find out more information than you can throw a stick at over at GP32 Wikipedia entry - but this 133 MHz device with 8Mb of RAM (though both could be overclocked and upgraded respectively) was a big hit because anyone could put software onto the GP32 and not have to pay royalties or purchase a costly device SDK (unlike every other handheld manufacturer). This ensured a solid cult following.

I've never heard of a GP32! Why?
The GP32 was only really available in Korea at launch and it took months to get the GP32 into Europe (by which time the GP32 had evolved to the more feature-rich GP32 BLU). There was a lot of confusion surrounding the European launch and despite lots of very developer-friendly features; it was never really noticed by mainstream press / users. Additionally, the GP32 never made it officially to America.
------------------------------------------------

Yesterday, I bought Linux magazine which was published a few months ago and I did know there has Linux console which is GP2X and official site was UK.
And then I found out that GP32 was originally made by Korean company because I think I heard about GP32 from somewhere definitely not from Korean because I don't even read any Korean news paper or article.


I am telling you. If you are working this kind of Korean company, you can contact me for better oversea business. I can consulting a lot of things which you can make more bigger business.
Yah. I don't think you can understand what I am saying.. Don't worry I will wirte this one to my Korean blog by Korean.

about Locationfree TV, Slingbox

Wikipedia - LocationFree Player
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


CES: PSP LocationFree TV details
Posted Jan 5th 2006 3:30PM by James Ransom-Wiley
* Toby Udstuen's comment
10. This Location Free TV product from Sony is a complete and total SCAM!!! Sony has taken a page from the Microsoft Media Center play book. Sony completely blocks the PSP from playing streaming media over the wi-fi link from the web. So now you have ponied up the $250 bucks for the PSP, then Sony adds this location free tv feature, great, right! Then Sony hits you up for another $300 bucks for the wireless tv base station that in reality is a completely usless bit of hardware when an informed customer looks at the alternative products availible for wireless tv viewing. I have been running ORB TV software on an old 2.4 ghz desktop pc for 6 months now. Orb needs a tv tuner card installed which cost me $130 bucks for a dual tuner tv card from Hauppauge. Then you download ORB's software and create an ORB account. As long as ORB is running on your desktop pc you can literally view/record live tv, photos, and videos from anywhere that has a high speed internet connection using any pc, laptop, pda, or EVDO windows mobile phone. The best part is that the ORB software is free! So lets see 300 bucks for the Sony base station which only streams to the PSP or the ORB setup using your desk pc and if you have no tv tuner requires the purchase of a minimum 40 dollar investment for a tuner card. I have been floored by the great quality of the ORB TV software it has allowed my to watch my local news programs in realtime or schedule recordings while I am on the other side of the country flawlessly and I have also watched recorded video's over the web on a friends pc that uses a 56 kbs modem and found the stream surprisingly good if a little small. This whole product line from Sony is their way of SCREWING their PSP customers. This whole thing is just like when Microsoft started marketing their MCE software. Microsoft from the beginning decided that the MCE operating system was not allowed to be sold to users unless these users purchased an entire MCE pc through an OEM costing literally thousands of dollars, now after poor sales Microsoft sells the MCE software individually! This is exactly what Sony will find out after they find that no one will shell out 300 bucks to watch wireless tv on a PSP's 7 inch screen and by next year after poor base station sales Sony will release a firmware that allows the PSP to view streaming media content from any source not just Sony's solutions.

most powerful brainwash...I have ever seen

Actually, it is second most powerful brainwash.I know one of best brainwash, but it will make a lot of problem so I will talk about it some other time.

I do not know how many people will believe what I am saying. But, I have been debate about network marketing(Here I am talking about the multi-level marketing but I don't know what is proper name for this so I just wrote the network marketing.) for 2 times with my friend. Problem with talking with my friend was I cannot tell the truth. For example, everybody can make money that easily how come nobody tell me how much money they made. Of course, there has success story but it is top people only.

And it was clever way to buy product with point which can make money so I asked price of cheapest product.She said that 17ringgit for Shampoo or something which I can buy it 10ringgit from Carrefour or Jusco.(I also ask 2 or 3 more cheapest product but price was expensive than Carrefour or Jusco.)So truth is they don't give back point for buying product. Actually, you paid extra money and that goes to the point. And not only that. Some of extra money goes to company and your network marketer, too.

And she explained to me about how it works and she drew me the network diagram. So I asked why someone want to buy from you because she has her manager or something. I mean if I want to do this network marketing, why I should buy from bottom line's network marketer. Because I will buy product from top line's network marketer. And then she was confused and she was not sure about that..

You see, that was most important thing in network marketing how she was not sure about that.

I explained about this by very logical way. But, she never listens. And she was not happy because she said that I gave too much negative..That's what I call the brainwash. I cannot explain by logic and I cannot questioning about their problem.

You see, they advertising all kind of nice word like "You can work at home." or "You can work at home and earn 5,000ringgit a month" but they don't tell the truth about themselves.

Most strong point she thought she made was that "I am nothing too loose.". I couldn't reply it but actaully I would like to reply it. You wasted a lot and a lot of time to learn bad business behaviour and wasting money and wasting your energy. I don't know much about sales person's skill but I believe what Larry King(audiobook - "How to talk to anyone, anytime, anywhere" ) explain about the sales skill. He said that "Know what you selling". So sales person must understand(learn or know) their product perfectly. She can't learn their product well so that's the reason I said "bad business behaviour".

Some of multi-level marketers complain about what I wrote. So I found more proper answer about this. I haven't read it yet but it looks good answer for multi-level marketing.

microSD to Memory Stick Duo Adapter

I just thought about adapter(Nowadays store sell the a lot of small and cheaper flash memory such as Mini SD, xD or Transflash.) for this kind of one and I found it.

TwinMOS Converter for MicroSD to Memmorystick DUO £7.00 http://www.komplett.co.uk/k/ki.asp?sku=329280
TwinMost company's website http://www.twinmos.com/flash/flash_p_ms_duo_adapter.htm

I hope this company make more things like this one(converter mini SD and Transflash to memory stick) so Sony must cut down the price for memory stick duo.

GameStop considers opened game cases as "new"?

Main article is GameStop considers opened game cases as "new"? from PSPupdates in Qj.net.

Why customer should talk about this? Why police(There has a lot of association for software piracy.) did not charge the illegal acting?
Whether he or she working at store or not was not issue here. If someone does not buy the license, it was illegal, was it not?

It sounds like you are working at mobile phone or funiture shop so you can take mobile phone and funiture at home and try it out and then selling to customer for new.(I do not know who want to buy this kind of new product.)

You cannot even compare with case that someone borrow CD from friend because friend pays license fee.

North Korea has nuclear weapon so what?

I would like to listen the LBC radio through internet. This is speech raio in London. I do not live in there, but I would like to hear people's opinion about something. And it is interesting, too.
I do not exactly remember, but almost every half an hour I can hear about the north Korea's nuclear test. I understand people's fear but how about other country. A lot of country have nuclear weapon, they are not?

North Korea sounds like quite different from other country but it was quite same. They are just communist country like China with something bit more.(I think their country's culture was more like kingdom style which is exist long time ago.)
I do not know much about terrorism but they did not do a lot of terror to other country, did they? If I am not mistaken, north Korea sold some weapon to Iraq or some other country and then they became terrible country to all over the world. But, other country also sold some weapone to Iraq or some other country, is it not?

What makes so special about the north Korea? Is there any famous terrorist group in the north Korea?


I am Korean. I understand if it is terribly hot issue in south Korea. Personally, I am not worry about that because I do not believe north Korea use nuclear weapon for against south Korea. I just think that they are use it for political power only. I know some of my friend will say that too easy thinking but that is what I believe.


Anyway, I am just curious about why other countries are so much concern about north Korea.

Talk is cheap. However, talk is expensive.

Do you know why talk is cheap? Because, you can do anything and you can be anyone by only talk. I met some people who were kindly offer me something and then they never did. So they did it to me by only talk. That is why talk is cheap.

However, do you know why talk is expensive? I read some book and explain that people who were public speaker or presentation to people are made a lot of profit for talk. Why they are expensive for the presentation or talk? Because, their talk are probably information. I mean very accurate information. You already knew about information is power and money, right? That is why talk is expensive.


I will talk about this a lot in the future.
I know nobody visit my blog. That I do not care. Anyway, I will make my website about this kind of thought and I will move my Korean blog to there.
It will be a quite interesting website.

The Chronicles of Narnia : The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe

I have been read The Chronicles of Narnia "The Magician's Nephew" and "The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe". It was quite interesting to read. I have been enjoy a reading.
I already heard about the author C.S. Lewis, but I thought his novel was not very old fantasy story because I did not know the a lot of novel and how old that book published.

I think one of my friend or website said that J.R.R Tolkien was friend of C.S Lewis and then I did know the how old that book must be and I did know the publish year from the wikipedia.org.
One interesting thing is that "The Magician's Nephew" was published almost last of the chronicles. And publish company decided this one was first book of the chronicles. It was children book so it was understandable. I also read follow the that sequence but I imagine that what if I read sequence by the published year and maybe I can be more interesting to read.

How could I believe that someone said that love me, but me was not important than her friends. If it is her bestfriends, maybe I can little bit understand. But, it was just friends. So it is special friends thing what she wanted to our relationship before when she said that she loves me.

This is almost ending scene.
You must miss him so much.

There is something I wanting to tell you. When I was up there and I thought I was gonna die, there is only one person who I was thinking of. And it wasn't who I thought be. It was you Pete. I kept thinking, I hope I make you through this. So I can see Peter Parker's face all the time.
- Really?
There is only one man who's always been there for me. Who makes me feel like I am more than I ever thought I could be. That I am just me and that's okay. The truth is I love you. I love you so much Peter.
[All I wanted, was to tell her how much I loved her.]
- I can't.
You can't, what?
- Tell you... everything I mean... so much to tell.
Yah. There's so much to tell.
- I wanted you to know. I will always be there for you. I will always be there to take care of you. I promise you that. I will always be your friend.
Only a friend? Peter Parker?
- That's all I have to give.
Whatever life hold store for me. I will never forget this words "Great power comes great reponsbility". This is my gift. This is my curse. Who am I? I am spiderman.

Most of Korean cannot speak English.(Some of Korean or some people will be complain about what I said.) But, let us face the truth. Do you know why I say so? Some Korean sounds like can speak English but, they do not really understand what exact meaning is. For example, if I say "Let's go to the eat.", they understand "Let's go to the restaurant.".(It is just example of situation.) Can you say they speak English, can't you?
That is why I am trying to change the their way of learn English. But, how can I?

My korean blog

I did not plan to doing the Korean blog last time(Because keep it two blog and language is not easy. Last my blog is good example-title is 'War of the world'- because, I did it English after that I did it Korean again. I felt uneasiness and difficulties.) but, I have a lot of thought about the learning English, wrong idea of other country's culture and people, problem the system and Korea society.
I learn many cultural things from staying Malaysia, visiting Philipines and learn English so I can write about my thoughts.
Korea has many blog sites so I could not decide which one should I use. Finally, I decided it and I will introduce here. I think nobody will check out the my Korean blog because of Korean language but, I will left it here.

War of the worlds



movie info. : http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0407304/

Before I watched movie, I heard about the movie from my friend. And he did not say nice but he said spectacle. It is Steven Spielberg's movie but not very famous, I guess. So my mind become this movie is not good enough.

Yesterday I watched movie with my friend. Screen is just normal size because they show them already long time ago. It is a spectacular movie. Actually, I do not like Tom Cruise's acting because I feel his acting was just okay and I do not feel nice or good.(I like his old movie's acting.-Cocktail, Jerry Mcguire, Interview with vampire-)

I was not very happy with that movie's actor or actress(except Tim Robbins's acting) because I am really interesting about the actor or actress's acting.(Last time, I was not happy with watching the Troy-I felt boring- but, when I saw the Achilles's die scene, I terribly impressed by his acting. And then my mind become love to watch again.)

I thought I also would not like this movie. But, when I saw the scene where they drove the car to the crowd, I was impressed. It shows that realistic of what human being like. That is why I like too much.
I still does not like the actor and actress's acting and strange stroy line but, I like the message. I believe that good movie has a good message.

I also surprised with Steven Spilberg because his most of movies has hero but, this movie does not have it. I do not like heroic movie because it is difficult to see the realistic. (Because, I prefer to watch the realistic movie like drama.)

She said that to me about last time but I thought it is not matter to her because she did not say anything about them. But, she also said that last time also she hurt. I cannot think about what exactly misunderstand about what was I told to her. I have not a clue.(I thought it can be sms but she said that when I talk to her. But, if so, why she did not tell to me.)
So I do not know what to do because she did not want to meet me now.

My sms did not mean to be sad because it cannot be. But, my thought could based on Korea and her thought could based on Malaysia so I think it is definitely different culture and can be happen. That's why I want to explain to her.
I feel cultural thing is not easy. I just hope that I have chance to explain about what I wrote sms for her as soon as possible.

I really hate this happen because it is not suppose to be.

My favourite Korean movie







  

I have not seen many Korean movies but, a lot of movies I like them.

Most my favourite movie should be the Gwicheondo(Gate of Destiny, 1996) directed by Lee geyung young. I know some people said that they just like the sound track called 'Guichundoae'. I like that song, too.
When I watched movie, I was impressed very much. It is quite different from any other movie. It was quite artistic and new style of Fantasy movie.

The other one is Gonggongui jeog (Public Enemy, 2002). When I was watching the movie, I would not like it because conversations were terribly impolite.
I was impressed because of Sul geyung gu's acting. Also it's nice movie.
Now you can see the Public Enemy 2 in Korea. I am not sure still showing in cinema or not.

Whasango (Volcano High, 2001) - I love Jang hyuk's acting.
Swiri (Shiri, 1999)- I like actors-if you know or watched the Seoul's moon-Seoul?? Dal-, you know what I mean.- TV series but, I watched English dubbed one so I do not know how they act.

It was an unbelievable.

I read news article from Korea.net. Title is 77% of Koreans carry mobile phones. I was impressed. That mean was everybody using the mobile phone. Non-mobile phone users must be only baby.
What an impressive fact!

My condominium was moving.

I'm not feeling well(I was terribly tired.) so I thought I had a dizzy. Suddenly my housemate knocked door and then asked about shaking building.(I think it happended at 12a.m.) It was like moving very smoothly and slowly moving my desk, computer monitor and everything. It felt more like I was in the ship, that's exactly I felt. I'm living Petaling Jaya(near Bandar Utama and Damansara Uptown) in Malaysia. I could see the back side of my condominium that everybody went down to condominium and then went to far away(just in front of building.) from building. My housemates and me also decided to go out and then do same thing as that condominium.

I called my friend who living quite close from here(15 minutes by walk). She said that she felt same thing. But, I called other my friend who living bit far from here(20 minutes by car). We waited outside for an hour. She didn't feel anything. Rescue911 was came for checking up the building. They said it needs for 2 hours but, after hour it finished. When I was outside condominium, I don't know anything about that earthquake so I thought next time I should have bring the radio.

I found out what happen. 8.2 magnitude earthquake from Sumatra Island in Indonesia. You can read news article from Yahoo! News.

Do you like play game?

I just finished play game Prince of Persia : The Sand of the Time. It is so much fun. I would loved play. Many people remember that Prince of persia. That was very old game so I thought not many people know about that game but, I did wrong. Many people are known that game and remember it.

I played that game in Playstation 2, when I visited my friend's house. It was quite impressive so I thought I want to play the game. But, that time I have a laptop computer so I couldn't play. Later, I bought a computer(I sold out my laptop computer.) but, that computer couldn't play the prince of persia. Something happens and then I bought a computer, again. And I played that game and finished.

I feel like played movie, you know. Each stage has movie and it used automatic camera so it feels like that. Someone likes watching movie or playing action game, I really suggest to play this game.

Beware of your SMS.ac membership type

A few days ago, I got daily SMS message from 32151(It was not free. Each message is 50cent. Every day I got two sms so my phone credit deducted 1ringgit every day.) Last time I subsribed Yahoo mobile alerts news but that time doesnot working with MAXIS and nowadays it working with them so I thought it was from Yahoo mobile alerts. Three days ago, I tried to remove them but it couldnot stop. Two days ago, I tried to remove them and remove my phone number. But it could not.
Just now I called MAXIS Cusomer Care Centre and then I got the phone number. I called that number. That number is SMS.ac so I checked out the my profile in SMS.ac. My membership type is "Pay As You Go, RM0.5/per message"(which mean is "Daily FREE messages: In order to receive your Daily FREE messages, you must Opt-in to Mobile Promotions."). I removed them.
result [
Daily FREE messages: In order to receive your Daily FREE messages, you must reinstate billing for your phone click here
Membership Type: Billing Disabled. To reinstate billing for your phone click here

I also remove all the smsClub and smsChannel. If it doesnot working, it's not problem with SMS.ac.

No more free sms.

I donot exactly remember that ICQ has been stop the free sms in many countries.(Last time more than 50 countries but now just 6 countries only.)
You can check the follow the link. http://web.icq.com/sms/smsnetworks/

http://www.sms.ac/ also no more free sms. If you want to send sms, you have to pay.

That was very useful because I can save money and easy to write message. I cannot use anymore.
If you are using Celcom or Maxis, you try to use Yahoo messenger. But, this is not free. More information : http://asia.mobile.yahoo.com/my/messenger/

What kind of movie do you like it?

I really like watching movie. I donot mind about what kind of movie is. Old movie, black and white movie, strange movie and whatever kind of movie. I can watch it and enjoy it. Many people are like watching the action movie, I think. I also like it. But, sometimes after watch that movie I got feel bit stupid. So I asked to myself 'Why I felt like that?'. I think that most of action movies' stories are very similar and meaningless. Because after watched movie I would like to think about story, character and everything.
So I think about again. Most my favourite kind of movie can be drama. It was more realistic, meaningful, natural and I can think about that movie.

Nowadays I have been watch the TV drama series 'Friends' season 1 to 6. First season and second season(maybe it should include third season, too) was very funny. I enjoyed it. But, after that season I got feel that 'Why am I still watching it?'. I think most of character become more more dumb acting and very unbelievable situation. But, I donot have any other movie or something. So I will keep watching.

I really like watching movie. I am going to watching movie with anybody. I donot think about that is dating. If you are woman, could you go for watching movie with me?

I donot become a your boyfriend or something.

Date: Jun 4, 2004 22:12 PM
Subject: I donot become a your boyfriend or something.

Donot worry.
I just want to being friendly or talking, something.
Why am I talking about it? I got sms message from my friend. I will write it.
She was going to somewhere so she was in the bus.
"She was chatting with beside guy. He ask her that do you have a boyfriend? She said 'Yes, I have.'. He doesnot want to talk with her anymore.."

It is like that. It happen in any Asian countries, I think.

Here is Malaysia so I undrestand that. I feel like little bit better than Korea. I can easy to talk with some girl. I just chat with her. But, I can see that her friend's face. It was feel like 'Is he interesting with my friend? or Is he trying to become my friend's boyfriend?'. I wish I am wrong thinking. But, I got some happened(I cannot talk about it here.) so it should be prove that I am right thinking.

Many other student also like that, I think. So you should better trying to more open-minded.

Last time I never thought about talking is important. When I was in Korea, I met my friends and we spent long time but our conversation was mostly very short. After I learning English, I changed it. I donot know why. But, I know it was good thing. Why donot you try?

Why people want to know my age?

Date: Jun 3, 2004 00:22 AM
Subject: Why people want to know my age?

[ I must say about my English writing. It was horrible. Actually I can talk and read, but writing is really bad. I think my way of writing is conversation style so please donot angry about my informal writing. ]

I mean I understand that.
I am talking about first in Korea. When I was young, not many people are ask about that, I think. Nowadays bit strange, because just we met and then he or she asked to me about my age. I donot know he and he doesnot know me so he trying to know me. But, if he knows my age, is he really know about me? It is not, is it? It doesnot matter.
It was also happening here. I get feel more difficulties because I cannot good way of ignore that question.(Of course Korean language is my first language so I know how should ignore that question.) When I got that question, I felt very uncomfortable.
Please do not ask about my age.^_^

If you are extremely interesting know about my age, I will tell you how can you get it. Actually it is very simple. You can talk about last time happen. And then you will be get my age. I will show you example.
"How long have you been in Malaysia?" ?? years
"What did you do before came to Malaysia?" Study or Working
Can you see that? Not exact age and more direct question, but you can use more good way.

I know I look like baby face, so many people cannot regret my age. A lot of interesting happen but I cannot tell because you should know my age.^_^
It was not bad happen because they already understand that. Before we already talked about a lot of things. We also understand each other.

If you want to know about me, just give me message. Now you know that, except 'How old are you?'
