Dear Mandy..

I just watched a completely hilarious Korean movie called "My girlfriend is an agent", and it was so funny! I laughed and laughed at the funny antics of the guy, Jae-Joon, and his girlfriend, Su-Ji.

So Su-Ji is an undercover espionage agent working for the government, and she ends up dating Jae-Joon, her college sweetheart. As her job requires, she has a fake background, and as Jae-Joon discovered her lies, broke up with her. 3 years later, at a chance encounter, they meet. And well, as can be expected, sparks and blows fly.

What is surprising is, Jae-Joon also has become an espionage agent working for the government, but in a separate agency. And he's new, he's bumbling, and he makes a heck of a mess of the tasks given to him. Apparently both parties are chasing the same deal, but different people. Where Su-Ji's team focuses on South Korean cases, Jae-Joon's team focuses on overseas cases. Coincidentally, both teams end up converging on the same case, as Jae-Joon's suspect is doing a trade deal with Su-Ji's suspect for a biological weapon.

Su-Ji meets up with Jae-Joon, and the end result is that they fight, but both realises that they haven't really forgotten each other, and the story takes a topsy-turvy tale, much akin to that of a sine curve, as their jobs causes them both to encounter each other in, shall I say, unexpected and disastrous circumstances. It was heart wrenching at times, and hilarious in others, to say the least. However, the end is a happy ending, cause I'm not spoiling it for you... a hilariously, sweet happy ending...

Well.. I somehow feel that the story line is nice, and the humour apt. And... the romance is a tad cliche? But all in all, it is a good heart-warming movie.

Honestly... just really like this movie and it's a must watch! =)

Dear Mandy..

Just some really nice and cute clip. =)



"Ooh La-La" by SNSD. =)



"Merry-Go-Round" by SNSD. =)



"Complete" by SNSD. =)



"Forever" by SNSD. =)

I think that these songs are simple, cute even, and I am really reminded of the simplicity of how love should be... Be it a dream, not knowing why one smiles... or how one is like a merry-go-round, where really, how long should one go before one can really be with somebody... or even, as a fairy tale, or to want to continue dreaming with somebody... Is it really as such? Should it? I don't know..

But all I know is this... that if love is truly true and simple.. then it requires effort to keep on going, but it is worth it, and it will be easy and simple.. because... you do it just because you love someone. =)

1 Corinthians 13 after all, kinda sums it up. =)

Dear Mandy..

In the midst of it all, as I reflect on the end of the exams, and look towards the next phase of life, I am a mixed furore of feelings.

I am glad the exams are over, but with NDP and Primers Camp looming ahead, I'm excited and also apprehensive at the same time. I feel so rusty, out of shape, and a little bit pensive as to the commitments and time management that loom ahead, but other than that.. I am quietly optimistic.

And with Jive and Tango lessons up and coming, where the first class was today, I was so excited and I love dancing ballroom! Thank God for Cheryl who attends class with me, it has been such a wonderful experience dancing with a friend, and sharing and talking... really quite fun. And the dance classes are increasingly fun, and I thank God, because the familiarity, and even the openness of the people, instructors and the ExCo of NUS SNB have been great. Dancing with two advanced dancers today was rather stressful, and I hope that it's because I am a relatively ok dancer. =)

The camp planning and prep are going well, and come the last two days before the camp begins, it's really about prayer and commitment. I'm really uncertain as to how it'll go, so I'm just going to commit it into God's hands, and pray for the best. =)

And of course, meeting up with Audrey. I wish that I could videotape every catch up session I have with Audrey Seah, Felicia and Joel Teng, because it almost always is a memorable experience. Aud's words that we're always on their minds and in their prayers is very touching, and the sharing that we did.. the affirmation that Aud gave.. and the insights we shared.. they are truly true and from the bottom of our hearts, and I give thanks for this wonderful sister of mine. =)

Onwards! =)
