Amour Chaleur

You're Beautiful

The last time I was so addicted to a drama series was in February this year when I was watching Boys Before Flowers (Kgotboda Namja). The previous time it was Kim Bum in Kgotboda Namja and this time it’s Jang Geun Suk in You’re Beautiful (Minami Shineyo). Both are fantastic actors though I would say Jang Geun Suk is the better of the two.

The series is about the behind-the-scenes life of a fictitious idol group, A.N.JELL. Jang Geun Suk and Lee Hong Ki are in search of a new member for their idol group. However at the last minute, the member suffers an injury and his twin sister has to step in disguised as him. The plot maybe be a bit cheesy but it’s hilarious. I absolutely love Jang Geun Suk’s acting and it’s a must watch show if you are a fan of him. This series has quite a number of parodies and my favourites are SNSD’s Genie and Jang Geun Suk’s parody of So Ji Sub’s phone commercial. It’s good to have some some laughter everyday.

I rarely get so addicted to a drama series but this one is too good! One of my favourite songs in this drama is Lovely Day by Park Shin Hye. I really like the soundtracks for this drama especially Lovely Day because the music is very soothing. To top it off, Park Shin Hye has a great voice.

I’m still alive and kicking in case anyone though I’ve gone missing. I’m extremely slow in replying to emails these days because I’m busy catching up with my “offline” life. I faced my computer nearly 24 hours a day except when I’m in school. My dad even told me I could just get married to the computer. Of course I’m not going to do that. Chewy wouldn’t like that. Chewy came over for dinner and he waited 3 hours while I messed around with the new navigation today (yes, there’s a new design, did you not noticed it?). Hence, I promise I will spend my entire Wednesday with him!

Mini layout redesign

Speaking of the redesign, I redid both the main and footer navigation and added new panda prints to the footer. I noticed I’ve been using rounded corners for my layouts since last December and thus I removed all the round corners as well. Check out the new post meta at the end of every post if you have not. I’ve also switched to a new plugin for sharing posts and redesign (again!) the list of tags, related and popular posts. In addition, I make a small change to the background of the header, no more fluffy white clouds now and it’s a lot less cluttered. Phew! Yes, that’s all the updates I’ve in regards to the layout.

To convince myself that I’m still hardworking, I decided to continue the “twitpic of the week” posts. I will be posting a photo collage of what I’ve done over the past week to fill up the “empty days” I didn’t blog about previously. My half mocks will start on 30 November thus I’m trying my best not to procrastinate and start reading the huge pile of notes. I’ve accumulated quite a substantial amount of reading which means I’ll basically be staring at my notes for the next few weeks.

On a very random note, I’ve officially broke my first mug in the bathroom today. I am usually very careful when handling glass but I’m such a blockhead this morning. If you haven’t notice, I’ve also increased the font size on Amour Chaleur because my vision is getting from bad to worse. Bigger text makes reading easier for me and hopefully for you as well.

Anyway, I was a happy user of Snaptu till the application decided to disappear from my INQ mini yesterday. No matter how many times I’ve tried, it refuses to reinstall so I switched to Twim now. I’m going to pray hard it continues to work until I get my iphone (hopefully) next year. Speaking of which my LG Viewty is still alive but I’ve neglected it. It’s sitting quietly in one of my drawers now. I might switch back to my Viewty next month because as much as I dislike touch screen phones, I still missed it.
