Cleaning

2012/09/18 / Nic / 7 Comments

I asked what kind of ninja wears yellow rubber gloves and he said “A special ninja!”

Sunday was our cleaning day. We don’t have much space so it gets cluttered very quickly.

When we first moved in the bathroom was really dirty. I don’t think the previous people cleaned it at all, so we had to do a massive clean and remove all the mould. So gross. We make sure we keep it clean now. I’m not letting that mould come back.

We divide the cleaning up so we can get it done quickly and then go to our friend’s place and eat samgupsal! Yay!

Happy Birthday

So I was going to say something in the morning about my husband’s birthday but it’s past midnight now and he is demanding a birthday post haha. So I quickly did this.

He is 30 now…. well his international age is. His Korean age is 31. It was also his birthday yesterday… his birthday by the lunar calender. Things can get confusing!

And I made chocolate covered strawberries for him.

Sonic Screwdriver

You probably have to be a Doctor Who fan to understand this one. Or at least know there is a sonic screwdriver in the TV show. He really likes Doctor Who so I bought him a toy sonic screwdriver last year.

Might not have been the best idea because he can be really annoying with it!

Get Your Crayon

So I watched the preview before subtitles were added. Apparently he means “get your crazy on” or like “lets get crazy” and made a compound word. (Koreans love doing that).

HOWEVER, if someone is singing about a cylindrical object, I may just assume things… I’m not sad at the end of the comic because I want G-Dragon to be singing about something like that… just that I got a mini lecture about how things are in Korea again. Sometimes I still have trouble wrapping my mind around the extent of censorship.

That’s not to say that’s it’s good that so many western songs are so sexual or have thinly disguised sexual meaning, it’s just I’m surprised when Koreans, because of their culture, don’t see the same sexual innuendos.

So anyway, sorry G-Dragon.. haha.

P.S. I love you.

Japanese stuff Giveaway

2012/09/14 / Nic / 42 Comments

THIS GIVEAWAY IS CLOSED

I’m having a little giveaway of some Japanese stuff. All made in Japan. I had to double check everything because in this Japanese shop that says everything is imported from Japan, most of the stuff is actually made in China. I guess they mean made in China, then sent to Japan then imported to Japanese shops in Australia.

Anyway! You can win:

2 bowls

2 sets of chopsticks

a tray

ALSO:

I don’t know what to call this… but a thing for making cute shapes with rice!

Look at that! You can make a heart, a star and a bear! You can have the best lunchbox on the playground.

To win, just leave a comment in the comment section!

(I did mention on Facebook about some exciting future giveaways- stay tuned! They will be in the coming weeks).

At the Post Office

2012/09/13 / Nic / 21 Comments

He does this all the time! He will whisper behind me that someone is Korean. I’m sure half the time they hear it as well. What was I supposed to do? We are in Australia, the guy was speaking fluent English to me so it would be pretty weird if I said something back in Korean!

It’s different if we are in a Korean restaurant because then obviously I would use some Korean words. But we live in an area where there are many Koreans so it’s not a surprise to see that some work at the local post office. But he just loves pointing it out all the time. Like on the street and walking past people, “They are Koreans.” Okay. Haha.

Hat Oopsies

Soooo… I used his hat when I picked a winner for the last giveaway. I wrote all the names on pieces of paper and put them in his hat. BUT afterwards I didn’t empty the hat and while he was on the phone and not paying attention he put it on his head. Oopsies.

Sorry Jagi.
