Another weekend & on being the most uninterested groupie in the world...

After a pissy Friday night, we decided to take it easy and have a nice brunch in the Marriott. Froggie is so obsessed with this book he's reading atm - the House of Rothschild Volume I and II. He's now determined to have 10 kids and spread them out all over the world to build an empire. I'm like WTF...?? As if.

Meanwhile, I am still reading my Deluxe book which I've been on for the last month - gosh im slow. Need to spend more time getting through all my books and less time eating & getting drunk methinks...

Our books:

Our Foooooood:

I wanted to watch Harry Potter but hubby wanted Transformers so I lost. Megan Fox is super hot but plot and script is NOT.

I shot 40 bullets and only got 5 targets. Nice.

We're so sad, we got our caricatures done. Hubby was super easy to draw but she just couldnt get me right! Eventually she ended up just taking a picture of me and asking us to come back later.

Look how good-looking she made him and how DAMN FUGLY I am!!! I look like Devon Aoki. Boooo :(

I thought we were going to have a quiet Sunday, but my editor called me and wanted to have Sunday brunch with some of his friends. So we had waffles and quiche with producers, documentary makers and a cameraman. It was interesting, and we ended up in a bar where hubby decided to get drunk, even though he knew we were going to church afterwards.

BAD.

I didnt take any pictures cos I dont think ex-CNN personnel would have appreciated my snap-happy antics, but I did take a picture of this:


So the Fat Bastard at our place (aka. Frog) is super keen and I'm like - ok whatever, I'm so fat right now anyway and I even stopped going to yoga so fuck it. We're on!!

We went to Onnuri church, a huge international church that we tried once before. Hubby didnt like the Pastor last time, but since my friend Jonathon invited us to go we decided to give it another try.

He still didnt like the Pastor :( I actually thought his message and content was really good. He's really young and hip but he talks really really loud and forcefully with huge gestures and hubby thinks he's scary LOL. I told him thats how he acts when he talks too, and he was quiet and shut up. Cos its true.

A short video of the best hymn in the world:



After church, Jonathon (the guy that is in with the celeb crowd) introduced us to his friends, and one of them was Brian from Fly to the Sky but im so out of it I didnt even know who he was. The whole celeb culture here doesnt interest me.

Speaking of fly, we went to this superfly REAL Korean restaurant where they serve boo-dae chigae (the original military soup which is really just scraps of rubbish the poor Koreans used to pick up after foreign military chucked it away during the war). Anyway, its a traditional local dish and this restaurant was so cute. Hidden away and soo hard to find but completely packed, it had the kitchen right in the middle, and then little rooms like a home with old TVs. Loves it.

It apparently has the best boo-dae chigae and also really great sausages and pork chops:




























There was a famous singer eating with us - her name is BMK and I watched a vid on Youtube and shes actually a really awesome singer.

Some new friends - the 2 women are pretty cool. Dorothy on the left is a local celebrity, has a radio station, owns all this shit and knows everyone, and the other lady is BMK. I would have never taken her to be a celeb if they didnt tell me!


When I got home, this is what welcomed me. SPOT THE CULPRIT IN THE PICTURE.


Oh, shes too cute.

Anyways, I got invited to brunch on Wed with Siwon from Super Junior, the biggest boy band here but I dont care. I know how incredibly disappointing that must be for all those millions of fans out there but I must be the most uninterested groupie ever. I would have rather met Hankyung cos that would make me more of a hero in China (he is the only Chinese member and he's face is like plastered all over billboards over there).

Here's a vid of Super Junior's new song, which is the No.1 hit over here atm and Siwon does the first solo which last for 5seconds. So funny, theres always too many people in the bands here, and so they each only get like one line to sing LOL:



Anyway I figured that it would be so easy for me to be a B-grade socialite/groupie if I wanted to, but I seriously dont care. All these people walk around name dropping and saying who they know, and I'm like - what restaurant are we going to?

I am not going to get in on that sort of scene because frankly - theres no money in being a groupie and more importantly, MY HUSBAND IS SO MUCH BETTER THAN ANY OF THOSE FREAKS!!!

Yea!

Oh and interesting note - I was told by one of them last night that my hair colour is "perfect" and its really hard for Korean hairdressers to get it this shade (woot!) and that people must think I'm a Korean celebrity that they haven't heard of yet........ um, cool.

But I'm really at 0% excitement about meeting more people. I dont see how its gonna further my corporate career, help my marriage, or make me a better person. For some reason, I really think its sad to be a socialite and hang with celebs, get free stuff and do nothing else all day. Am I too grounded or just arrogant? I dont like the "wife" title as it is - why would I wanna be a "groupie"...
