꽃처럼 아름답게

hello
its been a long while once again. so ive been pretty alright~ just studying and doing stuff which i have never done before and doing stuff which i have never thought i would be doing again. 

so i shall begin with the most recent event which was going to a club. lol. ive been to a club back in sg when i turned 18 but that was like almost 6 years ago?? and i was really young and i didnt know what and how to enjoy clubbing. but now im feeling it. XD haha. no its more like i know how to play and at the same time watch out for yourself and your friends. 

so jan, ara and mirah we all met up at anam and then we went to hangang at first because there was a free event by kuba and then we could just get in for free. it was actually held on a cruise boat and i swear i have never been to that part of the han river before. i would say its pretty cool but idk why i feel weird seeing people who were in the same class as u there and u just awkwardly have eye contact with them but u dont really know if u should say hi or not.. so im like.. hmmm. XD and because it was on a cruise?? so there was not much of the dance floor like a real club. so we actually just went there to take pics and then we left. we headed down to the food court area below and we ate thai food. it was claimed by jan to be legit. and i do agree because its one of the best pad thai which i had ever tried in korea. i need to head over bangkok one day. i swear why did i not go to thailand when i was still in sg last time? XD

lovely s.e.a. team 

and then we head to itaewon. and since ara is working in 'made' she managed to get us free entry and that was when it began. hahahaha. i would say i was surprised by the club culture in itaewon. oh yea before that. i have to say the clubbing areas are usually, hongdae, gangnam, kondae as well as itaewon in seoul. but if i were to stereotype the clubs, hongdae usually is more for younger ppl and its more... touchy? i heard. and as for gangnam, its where the richer people and celebrities hang out. kondae is more of university ppl i guess.. kinda similar to hongdae. and for itaewon, they have more lgbt clubs and clubs targeted for foreigners. 

so the interesting and unique thing about 'made' is that the club is separated into 2 different sections. one side plays hiphop music and the other side plays edm. i thought i would have enjoyed the hiphop side more but when i headed over to the edm side everything seemed to be much more fun. hahaha. i think because the beats were really sick and u know when u are a street dancer u would want to match the beats XD 

however that is not the main point of my post today. i feel like i had observed something abt girls who club in korea. maybe im generalising but this is what i felt after going clubbing. i guess its naturally for girls to dress up nicely in short and tight dresses which accentuate their figures but i feel like because of the restriction of the dress, you cant really have fun. well for me, i wore black skinnys with a black loose blouse with black walkers. but i could really dance and have fun with my frens because i werent worried abt exposing parts of my body which i was uncomfortable with. but when i turned around and see the girls around me, they were just like bouncing and waiting for guys to approach them. well, i guess everyone has different motivations when they head to clubs. mine was just to have fun with my frens and check out the korean clubbing culture. but i guess for others it might be hooking up and having a fling. well, i dont support it but i also believe at the same time its totally up to the person to judge as long as u feel alright with doing such actions. 

but one thing which i wasnt quite happy was when some guys try to 'take' my frens away in a rude manner. i would think its basic manners to approach guys in a less scary manner instead of just tugging my fren's arms and expecting girls to follow u. like seriously??? so we ended up having to prey my fren's arms away from his hands. wtf. haha. but besides that it was fun. there were also many funny episodes but i guess i should just keep them to myself haha.  

well i go back again? yes. but maybe not so often. lol. im getting old and i think i need more than a day to recover from so much dancing. hahahahahaha. and my ears. XD and the smoke. oh yea the smoke. gosh.... i didnt know u can smoke inside clubs in korea. or is it just me?? does sg clubs allow that? i had no idea. and i thought i was gonna die inside. lol. 

but the shit and the thing which really made me feel sick was when we were taking a cab back home together. with me jan and ara. mirah went back home first cos we kind of lost her in the club. lol. we tried to find her but couldnt. and guys. pls try not to go alone in a cab after clubbing or late at night cos it might be really dangerous. esp for girls. 

i feel like the taxi ahjussi was like seeing us just finished clubbing and i swore his attitude sucks from the beginning. and he tried to put on the seat belt for ara and he touched jan's leg. i think its kinda long to explain what happened and how it happened but it did. so i was really shocked and at the point of time i really felt like shouting at him but at the same time i thought abt the possibilities of what could have happened if i did. because ara was sitting infront and jan and i were at the back seats. would i cause him to become agitated and would that result in a car accident and cause even more harm to us. or does he have like a small knife or weapon holding in his possession? u never know. so i really tried to stay calm and i swear every time i feel nervous i can tell like my stomach gets really scrunched up. bad sign. and so i told alex to call me because for some reason i cannot press call on my phone and this showed how panicky i was XD sigh. but he did call me and i explained the current situation in chinese cos u never know if he knows english. so yea. we took a photo of the license plate after that. it was the worst taxi ride i ever had in korea out of my almost 5 years here. 

the thing was i felt really helpless. i couldnt do anything and i think its really mean for ppl to take advantage of such situations. really? thinking that because we are female foreigners we dont know what is sexual harrassment and where we can complain? and furthermore this semester im taking human rights class. talking abt this right now again makes me mad. really. sometimes i just feel like this world... brings disappointment to u but at the same time it really just shows u how some people are really like. the sick thing of what the taxi ahjussi said was 'its nice to be young' wow. wowwwwww. and yes hes old. thats why it made me feel even more disgusted. urghhhh

so in conclusion. becareful everywhere u go. like u might think its safe but its not. and dont drink drinks from guys who u have never seen before and dont take it! and be aware of yr drink. dont leave it on an empty table and go back to it after awhile. i mean i might be over suspicious and stuff but i believe its really better to be sure than sorry. u know. 

i think ive spent more than an hour writing this blog here and there haha. yes. 

work hard live hard!
