My K obsession


When I was pregnant, I started watching Running Man, right from the very first episode.  And throughout pregnancy, I was watching Korean variety shows and Korean dramas.  After birth, I watched them while I am breastfeeding.  I watched so much Korean dramas that I think my girl would speak Korean before any other languages.

Korean variety shows and dramas are occupying most of my breastfeeding / pumping times at home.  In a way, this makes pumping more enjoyable.  Pumping can be such a dread sometimes.

Running Man - This I have been watching right from the very first episode to the current one.  I managed to finish all the backlogs when I was pregnant and took a break for few months before delivery because I couldn't stand the cheating and backstabbing that much.  Then right after birth, jumped straight in again.  It's so sad that Gary is going to be leaving and today is supposedly his last shooting with Running Man team.  Although I am not a fan of his, but I think the chemistry that brought together with the whole team will be lost when he leaves.  I like how he was when there was Monday Couple.  Unfortunately, lately I find that he is losing his interest in the games and the show.  Especially the one when he was making music as part of his mission.  He was so into it that I feel music is his core, not variety show.  Wish him all the best in the future.

Infinity Challenge - I didn't start right from the beginning but was watching here and there based on their projects.  I couldn't understand in the beginning because the projects are very much Korean based and the show is targeting Korean audience unlike Running Man.  But as I began to watch, I slowly began to like it very much.  I like the ex-members, like Noh Hong Chul (NHC) and Gil.  Don't like so much the newer ones like Kwang Hee.  I am still hoping Jung Hyeong Don would return one day.  Some times the project can be boring.  But sometimes it's so funny and interesting that I am so amaze at the effort they took to make it a success.  In a way, I feel IC is more meaningful compared to RM.  The project does bring some good.  Especially the latest one where they went to Russia to experience the zero gravity.  I like some of the big projects, like the music festival, the IC company, extreme part-time job and so on.  I feel I am beginning to like IC more than RM.  Because RM is quite repetitive.  

Knowing Brothers - This is the latest one that I have jumped on.  I like the interactions between the brothers.  Since this show is aired late at night, they have no qualms in discussing about smoking, drinking and even passing lewd remarks.  Some may find this to be boring because it's all talk and no action.  But the jokes are really good.  I like Lee Su Geun and his jokes.  He is really a pro.  I like him when he was in 1N2D.  

Happy Together - This is a talk show which I only started watching recently.  But I don't watch all episodes.  Only the ones where they have interesting guests.

Please Take Care of My Refrigerator - Sometimes when there is nothing to watch, then I would watch this.  I like the way the chefs cooked and the food presentation.  But it gets repetitive after some time.

I Can See Your Voice - This is also the latest that I have jumped on.  But lately, the subbers stopped subbing this, don't know why.  I watched for few episodes in Season 3.  It was interesting but I find it gets boring.  The reaction from Lee Sang Min especially is so OTT that I find it too unbearable sometimes.

Baek Jong Won Top 3 Chef King - Warning!  Do not watch this show on a hungry stomach.  You will regret it for sure.  I have so many times watched this at night and then suddenly hunger pangs started and have to eat a snack.  And certain times, the ramen looked so good that I have to make myself some.  It's a good show and I enjoyed it how they introduced Korean good.  The only thing is I wish the subbers would explained what it means because certain words they don't translate.  No idea what the food is until I Google.  

Talents for Sale - I was watching this when it first came out mainly because I like Kim Jong Kook and Noh Hong Chul.  The concept is not too bad but then it gets stale and boring.  And I feel some talents are wasted, like the one where Kim Jun Hyun cooked for few kids.  I don't see the meaning for this.  But lately, there are no new show and no subs.  Wondering if it has been cancel for good.

These are the shows that I have been watching recently.  And here are some that I watched only when there is absolutely nothing to watch.

1N2D - I used to watch this on Astro every Sunday.  I like the older casts like Kang Ho Dong, Kim C, Lee Su Geun, Lee Seung Gi, Eun Ji Won and MC Mong.  Then when one by one left, I don't like watching anymore as I feel I need to get to know the new casts all over again.  But I heard they get very good ratings nowadays.

Immortal Song - Maybe watch once in a blue moon.  Especially the ones with singers that I am familiar with.

I am so into Korean variety show and Korean drama that I don't watch any TVB dramas at all.  Ever since TVB losing its main actors and actresses slowly and the new dramas have the same old actors and actresses, I began to lose interest.

Review: Grand Lexis vs Lexis Hibiscus at Port Dickson

I have been to both and can honestly tell you that I much preferred Lexis Hibiscus to Grand Lexis.  And here's why. Lexis Hibiscus Pros: 1. Very near to the highway. 2. Located near the beach (although very small area). 3. Food stalls located within walking distance to the hotel. 4. Better services from the staff. 5. Bigger pathway for walkers and cyclist (for those who like to do some walking and cycling). 6. Better view of the sea. 7. Swimming pool is located outside the chalet with sea view (depends where the chalet is facing). 8. Sauna is provided in the chalet. 9. Wide spread of breakfast buffet. Cons: 1. A bit more pricey. 2. Public pool is boring. 3. No kitchenette. 4. If it rains, the sound on the roof is very loud because of the material of the roof (sounds like zinc roof). 5. Toilet door is without lock.   Grand Lexis Pros: 1. Nice public pool with slides for the kids. 2. Big swimming pool inside each room. 3. W...

The Big Kindy Search Continues

Since my last The Big Kindy Search post , I have been looking around for kindies and been visiting some.  Here's my feel about them all. 1) Tadika Diyana Read good reviews about this and decided to check them out, though out of our way and far from home.  I love how the price is quite ok but still a bit on the high side (you can check it out at their website). I visited the premise and I really love how it is run like a mini primary school.  It's huge, with its own hall, field and canteen, although downsize version and it's just like a school.  Not like a bungalow with rooms as classroom.   However, I have decided not to send my girl because they will be moving to Sungai Penchala (further up from TTDI, near to the Penchala Link), which will be much further from our home.  Though they do have transporters, but I feel very wary about sending my 4 year old (next year) to a transporter. What I like about Tadika Diyana is they have 2 medi...

PPUM Pediatrics Emergency Department

Being a mom proves to be the hardest job in the world.  Accidents do happen but when they actually happened, most people will panic and unsure what to do.  And when it involves kids, and being the mother of the only child, with no prior emergency experience, this is a traumatizing and frightening episode and a lesson for me to learn. My 3.5 years old girl was being very curious and naughty that fateful day.  She stood on the chair and play with my massage oil and containers and broke one of the small glass cups and when she panicked she came down from the chair and stepped on the broken glass. She was bleeding a lot and crying.  Since this happened at about 10.30pm, my first response was to drive her to a 24-hour clinic.  So, we went to the 24-hour Mediviron clinic but was turned away by the nurses, stating that her case is very serious and need to be referred to a hospital instead. My mind at that time was running at full speed.  I wasn't sure...
