Something happened last week.

 

I lost myself completely…

and I cried.

 

I lost count…

the number of tear drops that trickled down my cheeks…

the number of tissue papers used to wipe my cheeks…

the number of days I slumped on my couch with teary eyes…

making the world through my vision rather blurry.

 

I know I over-reacted.

I know I cried too much.

But I can’t help it.

 

In the end,

KS can’t help but to step in.

 

KS: Dear, please STOP. Please stop crying. It won’t do you good.

 

Me: ……….. You don’t understand. It’s too painful.

 

KS: It’s not. Why do you have to torture yourself like this?

 

Me:……………………

 

KS: Ok. I’m sorry. But I have to do the unspeakable.

 

I looked at him with my teary eyes.

What unspeakable?

 

KS: I’m banning you from watching those Korean Dramas.

 

Me: HUH?

 

KS: No more ‘oppa’. No more sarang he-yo.

( Oppa – brother, guy friend or boyfriend in Korean )

( Sarang he-yo – ‘I love you’ in Korean )

 

Since when he picked up Korean language?

 

Me: You can’t do this. I have 7 episodes more to go! NO. This is cruel.

 

KS raised his eyebrows.

KS: Cruel? I don’t want to come back and see my wife in tears.

 

Me: Dear, stopping me from watching the last 7 episodes

will drive me crazy. I’ll never get to know what happen to them.

‘Them’ sounded very real. Very close to me.

 

KS: Haiz…

 

 

With that being said,

I finished the whole last 7 episodes that night.

 

Yes I cried.

But it was a good cry.

I felt good.

 

KS??

I think he was —-> 

 

haha.

Sorry KS. :)

 

So,

which Korean drama

made me cry like crazy?

 

This:

 

The Snow Queen

November 2007

let me give you the warmest welcome

to the Cry Baby Club.

 

 

 

Oh, and I finished this drama too.

 

Coffee Prince

Blame it on the Korean drama fever.

 

 

 

 

KS and I wanted something simple last week

because we have been eating like dinosaurs

 

so instead of being a slave perfectionist wife near the hot stove

cooking several dishes for a meal,

I whipped up one dish meal for dinner the entire week.

 

 

Last Friday

Monday

Stewed Chicken with carrots + Rice

 

 

 

 

Tuesday

Japanese Curry Angel Hair with Swedish Meatballs

 

 

 

 

Wednesday

Thursday

Stewed Pork with Beancurd Skin

remember my $$$ credit card.

:D
