Korean Drama

Yes, Korean Drama.
I believe everyone watches Korean Drama, or at least have.
Personally, I'm a fan of Korean Drama. A HUGE ONE.
There few of my favorites are, of course, one the of CLASSIC, the ALL-TOO WELL-KNOWN -- Full House, Coffee Prince, Princess Hours, My Girl, Kim Sam Soon, Autumn in My Heart, Playful Kiss, My Girlfriend is a Nine Tail Fox, Prosecutor Princess and HOW CAN I LEAVE OUT one of my FAVORITE, Yes the Favorite out of ALL Favorites --- *drum rolls* ---> Boys Over/Before Flowers.

Yes!! BOF Forever. If you have stayed - read my blog, i mean - with me long enough, you probably would realize that I have this BOF Fever for quite some time back, from 2009 till 2010, when I was in Melbourne.
Those days where I get to watch BOF was the peak of my days in Melbourne.
Truly, it made my day, just like that!

And now, I don't know what made me, but I am currently re-watching BOF again.
I happen to saw that one episode on KBS HD, and BOOM! there goes the desire/urge of mine - that was properly suppressed somewhere deep down in me that CRAVES and GO INSANE over BOF - now, UNLEASHED !!!

*RELEASE THE KRAKEN~~ * something like that, ha ha.

Anyways, yes, about BOF. After all these years, i'm like 3 years older now - from the first time I've watched it - but still, it dazzles me over and over again.
The urge to want to meet some guys like the F4 is still as strong as ever, ROCK HARD SOLID STRONG.
Hmm, I wonder why is that. Not only BOF, but mostly all the Korean Dramas.. after some time when you re-watch it again, it still hits you like how the meteor hits the ozone layer ! like totally awestruck !
That's the Magic of Korean Drama. Ha ha. (;

Which reminds me... My daddy used to watch Korea Drama with me. 
He's favorite was Full House! It was because of the girl, yeah, Song Hye-Kyo.
He mention that the way the portrayed the character in the drama, makes him forgets about all his worries.
I know right.. LOL.
Not only that, after that, while we were watching Princess Hours, some times later, we had to go lunch, but it was already the second last episode. Mummy made us shut it down. Because daddy was watching with us, he was like : ' Why do you Off it? Just finish it since the next episode it's already the last episode...'

And then there was this other time, he watched BOF with us, and ask us to play the next episode! He was more eager to watch it than us ! 
He also watched My Girl, and felt upset - actually, teared a bit - when The Grandpa ask Yoo Rin to leave Gong Chan after he found out that she was a feign...
The last Korea Drama he watched was My Girlfriend is a Nine Tailed Fox. And I can never forget the words he said. He was like : Haaah, I wonder why All the Korean Songs are so nice.. - and then sway his head a bit with the rhythm - it was playing Lose My Mind at the ending of the episode..

Korean Drama played a huge part in my life, and I'm Glad that the other HUGE PART - actually, the largest Huge part - of my life, who is also one of the most important person in life takes part in the HUGE PART(Korean Drama) of my life. :) ha ha. does it make sense?
Oh well, you know what i mean.

Signing Off with a picture of Current - no, maybe I should put Always instead - Love --> F4 from Boys Over/Before Flowers (:

love, cong

Lunch time thoughts

What do you people do during lunch time?
I'm having my lunch time now, and guess what I did?
I was just randomly going through the blogs of HK Artist, and saw a post by Cilla Kung about Chinese New Year.
Gosh ! I miss Chinese New Year!
The moment I saw the photo she posted about her outfit for CNY.
I don't know what was it that I felt, but it made me came here!
I feel like talking about my CNY. (;

CNY was always a big thing for me! ha ha. Yes, one of the reason is I'm Chinese.
Though, the fact that I'm Chinese is not the main reason.
I love CNY so much it's because of the things we do for/during CNY!!
Shopping, Cleaning, Having meals together, catching up with each other, games, fireworks, and more!

It was always a tradition in my family that we would head back to my hometown to celebrate.
When I was younger, the whole TAN family would be back few days before CNY and our house would be full with people. it would be noisy but merry at the same time. (:
Every morning, I would hear TV sounds when I open my eyes!
Daddy would take away breakie for the whole family! speaking of breakfast, my hometown has the most awesome food! ha ha. at least, to me it has! *drooling by just the thought of it*
After breakfast, kids would be playing, parents talking meanwhile nagging children to shower and be prepared for this BRAND NEW YEAR (in Chinese Calender) with everything new!
(: Mad Love.
Mummy would always dress us up like princesses. floral dresses, lace socks, pretty hair bows, cute bags...those are my childhood memories. She would do me & my sisters hair, and make up and snap photos of us at every corner of the house that she had decorated !
Daddy is ALWAYS the first to be done, and always out YUMCHA with his friends! yes! on the 1st DAY of CNY. ha ha. Though, he knows exactly the time to come back! C; iloveyoudaddy.
AngPaos were given, blessings were said... and then it's PHOTO TIME ! ha ha.
The gossiping, talking and discussion on who's house to visit first, will come later.

Day 2, wife are allowed to go home to their family and celebrate. :)
Daddy would drop us, go yumcha, and come back around noon at 3-4pm.
I'll always remember the face he had when walking into the house because the SUN is super HOT at that hour. Don't ask me why, Sun tends to be hotter at CNY and at my hometown. LOL. (People always say that! it's weird... not even scientifically proven ;p)
I will totally have tons of fun with my cousin.
Back when we were younger, video games, ipad and psp weren't that much of a hit.
We'd played games that involve us, physically! and it's sad to see that kids nowadays didn't get to enjoy those.
Like, the Fire & Ice, Hopping Ropes, dressing up, the restaurant game.. so much more !
Ahhh, memories ~ (;

After Day 2 of CNY, the rest would be a repetition  of Day 1 or Day 2. (;
But it still is FUN. Being able to connect with your family, though doing the same things, but with different memories produced, it's the best!

It's a time for family to reunite, reconnect and stay together even though you don't get to see/speak to each other often.
Some, even being able to see the elder ones once last chance...
2010 was the worst CNY of my life.
2011 was the first CNY I had without him.
It ease a bit to think that he's just working in another country, and is sooo busy that he couldn't make it back.
but hey, who am I kidding? Somehow, a part of me - the smaller part - despise the other part for being such a coward for living in denial.. I often choose to ignore the smaller part.
It's okay you know, because all that he has left with me, all the other 20+ years of CNY I had with him gave me enough memories.
Enough for as long as I shall live. (:


I remember,
one of the CNY, while we were heading out to pay relative a visit.
It was the teenage years you see, where you dress up in FULL.
Hair checked ! Make up checked ! Falsies & Contacts checked ! Dress checked ! Nails checked ! Heels checked !
you know what I mean?
So, I was wearing my heels.
and my father said to me :
Daddy : Cong, can you see that flower over there?
Cong : Yeah..
Daddy : Is it pretty?
Cong : Yeah..
Daddy : Will it wither one day?
Cong : Yeah, of course.
Daddy : Well then, Beauty is not forever.
Cong : *speechless, cause I finally got his point*

Daddy was never really fond about the idea that I dolled up too much.
I have no idea why, but I was a fool to ever feel that he is being too old school.
I actually, really do miss the way he nags me.
He would say : 穿这样美做什么？ 见官吗？*then smile...

I would pay any price to hear it again.


love, cong.

The Beginning of The End

Hi blogspot,

It's been, a while. I hope everyone is fine.
I'm fine, myself. Currently, still recovering from whatever I'm left with.

I guess, I will blog again. Like I said before, one day, I will blog again, and I guess today is the 'one day' that I mentioned before.
Don't ask me why. I'm not too sure either, I just suddenly felt like, this is the time?
Like maybe I should stop wasting time, and start re-blogging again.
I mean, because of this blog, so many memories were solidified in here, kept forever (unless, of course Google decided to delete this page)
Hence, I should start blogging again, to store memories starting from today, cause I know I do not wanna miss a single word, a laugh, a tear, a second in my life

So, here I am, blogging again.

I've been missing too much. 
All those that had happen way before this blog entry, after that incident - The Beginning of The End,
I would and could have written it down, here. 
To think that I have lost that much of memories, I feel stupid...

What should I start with?
I think I really need a meaningful post, to sort of 'REVIVE' the whole blog.
LOL.
Okay, just kidding.

You know what people say when you try to hold on to the memory you wanna remember, so hard, you eventually forget?
That is what I'm afraid of.
I'm terrified, horrified that I will loose all those memories about him.
Isn't it always the case? I mean, Yes, of course, some stayed, but NOT ALL.
and I want ALL of them save with me, even after 20 years later, or maybe the day of my last breath! still clear as crystal.
I'm being a melo?
No, no, truly, I do.

Hence, I wanna make it sort of like a daily routine.
A single entry a day that talks about him, or stuffs he did for me and us...
Just so I can read it all again, if one day my memory deteriorates.

I remember, 
He would knock on my door every Monday morning - he works in another state, and only comes home at weekends - and give me my allowance.
His tone, always gentle and soft - even, at times, when I'm being an awful daughter and argued with him.
And the way he knocks on my door, I can tell it's him just by listening.
Because, it's always a gentle knock. 
He's a man with huge hands, I cannot imagine how a man can knock on a door that gently.
That knock on my door, I wish I could hear again...

岁月真的不留人，

时光过着，如今已一年。

他...不在的事实已烫在我心湖里一年。

伤，仍在淌血...

记忆，仍停在那一年的晚上。

新年又过了，

是没有他的第一个新年。

麻木的过了，还是不知道该说什么。

原来还以为的坚强，顷刻间，支离破碎。

我，好想你...

纵使体谅了，却终究无法释怀。

所以，还是会问，您回来，好不好？

爸...生日快乐...

the end.

i never regret to always blog.

for now, this blog has been filled with all my memories i've spend with my loved ones.

looking back,

when i said 2010 was a bad year.

i was being a fool

i didn't know.. 2011 was the worst in my whole entire life.

...

the men who i loved most and loved me back like no other men in the whole universe,

left...

everything is shatter into pieces for me now.

i don't seem to have the urge to blog anymore.

it's been 6 months already.

every minute every second i still misses him.

it's like a part of me died when he left.

maybe one day i will blog again, just not now..

love, cong.

新年快乐

看着别人家开开心心的过着等了一年的大日子，
看着舞狮，鞭炮热热闹闹地迎着新春...
竟令我有一种想哭的感觉。

我好羡慕，
他们能一家子聚在一起吃团年饭，
一起谈笑风声，
一起看电视，
一起玩烟花，
一起说说别人的糗事，
一起吃家乡宵夜，
一起待到深夜...
*我好想回家乡过新年，长这么大，我第一次不再那里过年...

往日种种仍历历在目，
只是看着别人家的时候，
感觉特别的珍贵，特别的期待。
等了一年，筹备了一年，
本想欢欢喜喜和家人度过新的一年，
却无法实现。

原来，
新春佳节的意义，
我今才明白。
然，
却错过了，人生里的其中一个新年。

我没有埋怨，
只是心里那种很期盼，很期盼新春来临的感觉需要得到纾解...

新年快乐。
今年没什么机会说‘恭喜发财’
所以，
恭喜发财咯~

A very late post and a very late happy new year.

I guess, i'm a WAY better blogger when i'm back in Melbourne.
