Its really getting a little hectic and crazy this coming week so I'm gonna be busy! And the worst thing to happen is to fall sick at this time! But I'm thankful for Yixin who offered me the cold medicine, thankful for Cheryl and Yvonne for specially buying medicine for me, and thankful to Meihwa who offered to help me with make-up tomorrow morning and ironing of my formal shirt... A small little thank you note here for the girls~ Really thankful to have them <3

So back to today! Had OB final written test at 8.55am today! Wanted to study for it a little yesterday night but gave up. Thankful I was able to do it... After all, it was only MCQ :P

Answer in the exam paper? Something that would never happen in NYP...

Just a side note, somehow or rather, I don't know if this applies to all Engllish teaching universities in Korea, or is it just Hannam University or just Linton Global College, but the standard of the examinations doesn't seem to be very strict from what I see... OB test today had duplicate questions and even answers... I can't believe it. Haha :P

So Adrial was the first to leave the exam hall and I was second. Seriously I don't think I need 75 minutes for 55 MCQ questions which is worth 15%. Although I left early I still think I will do well. I believe the time is just given to the Korean students who probably need more time reading and understanding the questions as compared to us. After all it is a first language for us and a second language to them. Salutes to them. I can never take a test in Korean man.

The end of OB marks the end of most tests! I'm only left with Business Negotiation Role Play tomorrow morning with Meihwa, and to submit my IBN final Business Report on "Negotiating with China". We're supposed to list the similarities and differences between negotiating styles of Singapore and China. Honestly how are we supposed to know? We haven't been into the working world yet, not into the business industry yet. We just gave our best and I remember Yixin said something like "play golf" hahaha.

So Yixin and I went back to the dorm to sleep after OB. That was when Cheryl and Yvonne went out to get me medicine. Feels great to have someone with you when you're sick. I slept and woke up at 12pm to meet Meihwa's buddy at 12.30pm. Yixin, Meihwa and I went to meet Suyeon unnie at the library and we passed her our farewell gifts and took photos with her~

Meihwa and her buddy, 수연언니

Suyeon unnie and I!

After that we went back to the dorm again and Yixin went on her bed to nua again while I went down to work on my report. I had to complete the 1500-word report by today because its due tomorrow!

And then the next plan today was to meet the buddies at 3pm. It was suppposed to be a meeting for all buddies but only Adrial and Yixin's buddy turned up. We passed gifts too and took photos with Adrial's buddy (Sunwang) and Yixin's buddy (Bo Eun) at Linton Park!

With Yixin's buddy! (forgive my cui hair)

Another shot w/ 보은~

Group shot with 2 buddies!

Hannam 8 with Korean buddies!

After that, Yvonne, Cheryl and Yixin went to a cafe to chill (because they had no more commitments) while Meihwa and I went to have rice burger before heading back to finish up our reports. I managed to finish by 6pm and went up to prepare for the pizza gathering by Professor Ken Morrison, my Globalization and Social Media professor. He organized sort of a gathering for all his students and ordered pizzas too. But guess what? Adrial and I missed it.

Hair check.

Walao hair cui again.

Today really bad hair day.

We apparently thought it was 6.30pm but it was 5.30pm. I don't know why we always hear wrong information one. Hahaha :P It was kinda awkward cos professor actually asked whether we wanted to get pizza again because he could get some with us. But we were fine cos its just the three of us I thought it might be awkward. Anyway Meihwa was back at dorm so I thought of accompanying her for dinner. Took some photos with Professor before we left. He said he was glad teaching us and that we would have a bright future. Idk how to react to that comment though. :/

with my Globalization & Social Media Professor~

Professor Ken Morrison!

So Adrial and I went back and I asked Meihwa for dinner but she wanted to finish her report first. So I went to Deli Roti Cafe to find the other girls. Cheryl did a card for Surya (designed by Yvonne) because it was his birthday today! They were playing mahjong at the cafe like some rich taitais haha. We stayed till about 8pm and then went to get Isaacs and kimbap for dinner!

Yvonne's strawberry really like carrot lah. xD

Dinner!

And then Cheryl went out, Yixin went over to Yvonne's room to watch EXO Showtime while Meihwa and I did our own stuff in our rooms. Did preparation for my role play tomorrow with Meihwa at almost 12mn. Don't belittle the power of last minute work! We will clinch the deal! Haha.

Thank you Meihwa again for helping me to iron my formal shirt again~~ Love love XOXO

Yeah and as I was drafting out the contract to be signed tomorrow (hopefully!) I started to recall all the terms of Business Law. Frustration, Breach of Contract, Compensation etc... Haha. Satisfied with my contract. And I believe role play would be fun and interesting! Stay tuned to tomorrow's post to see how is it like! And wish me luck; I wanna clinch the deal so badly!

That's about it for tonight folks. Just some more photos from the snow fight yesterday (from Adrial's phone)!

Nothing feels as good as listening to EXO's "Miracles in December" in the dark while writing this blog post via Cheryl's laptop because hers has built in Beats Audio :P

And last but not least, Happy Birthday to Surya!!
