Wouldn't be me if I didnt share these ones right?

OMG TRANZ THAT'S WOW, JUST WOW

So SG's Maccas came out with a Hainanese Chicken Rice style burger, I had it last night and it was pretty darn tasty! It had the ginger, the dark sauce down pat, all around a crispy chicken patty!

Hi, I am joining the party with some k-bbp! I recently found a restaurant that does really good daechang and gopchang! So so buttery and melt in your mouth. I am just  thinking about it again!

I love the video, @bairama is fantastic!

Let me try my hand at guessing some:

The one that I really follow is Hospital Playlist 2. I would always work hard at the office so that I can clear most of my Thursday and go home as soon as I can to catch the live stream. :D 

Oh gosh, you catch the live stream? I wait for the Netflix drop and with the long runtime, I have to wait wait wait now. Haha!

I'm looking forward to Hometown Cha Cha Cha. Dimple festival by dimple couple. I hope Lee Sang Yi won't need to have unnecessary heart break as triangle love and let the man get his own love line! The stories with the grannies on the village will be fun for sure. It will warm our hearts

I hope so too! Lee Sang Yi is one of my new oppas this year (need to go to the thread after this) and I want him to be happy in his drama!

I DM you on twitter 

 

Thank you!

So glad this show is on Netflix for easy watching!

Happy 1st Anniversary, JangHaven! Here's a whole high-tea set of cakes to celebrate the day!

Congratulations to all the winners, I heartily agree with all the winners and the nominations! I am surprised to even be included in the noms and to have one vote (thank you, whoever you are) since I haven't been around for awhile

Yay you are here. I plan to watch it before this starts.  It’s a very short movie & I did check the ending to confirm that I won’t be getting any unnecessary shocking outcome! Two rom coms  I watch this year had major plot twist . My heart could not take it 

Ooh link me please? Haha yes please no shocking outcomes. I just want a nice, pleasant, steady, funny rom-com!

Hey @Janeis logging back! welcome welcome~ maybe you can start by visiting the events thread in celebrating Janghaven 1st anniversary? There are lots of foods, cakes and games to play :)

 

Hi Lala! My appointment today got cancelled so I have a few hours to come by and chit chat. I have all the anniversary threads open now and going through them slowly!

How have you been? How many dramas are you watching? I have Hospital Playlist, You Are My Spring (Ep 5) and Witch's Diner (Ep 1), but I am only able to keep up with HP2

Eh hey there! How about eating cakes with us for a starter lols? 

Okay I will, I love cakes!

I am hereeee @abs-oluteM @JenL @Tofu @im0202 @mademoiselle

Gosh I am so looking forward to this drama because everything released so far looks really really promising! Lee Sang Yi is a new love of mine so I am very excited that he's coming out in this drama with Seon Ho! I don't know if my eyes can handle so much handsome on the screen! And Shin Min Ah looks gorgeous!

If they do follow the movie than I think it should be okay . But can we trust these writers??

Have you watched the original movie before? I am curious and thinking about finding it to watch before the drama (altho in one week, that's probably wishful thinking on my part)

Remember me? How is everyone! 

I have so much to catch up on around here! Where should I start? Help!

I gather is it not so much a productivity tool, but rather something that helps people spend their time more mindfully and also for those who want/like to look back/review what they have done. I'm not sure I want to be that self-aware, but it's an interesting concept. 

 

I'm really keen to see/understand how those of you who use this method, really use/customise it. @Jane the image of your bulletjournal on the stationery thread did not load - can re-upload?

 

The biggest issue I see with this method is the handwriting/journal book requirement. It seems too manual. For example:

• Tasks - I note down tasks as it comes to mind. It's a long list. I cannot be transferring the uncompleted tasks to the next day/week/month all the time, plus there are new ones added each day.
• Collections - This is a good idea which I will study more to fine-tune an exisiting "Projects" in my current To-Do app. But with pen and paper, the Collections are all over the place, it could even be in a few different journals.
• Finding stuff - to glance through each page to find anything is going to be tedious, even with an index page.

If anyone incorporates some digital tools with the method, do share.

I am in the midst of setting up my new July-Dec book, I will take pictures and upload to show you then. I have customised the system very much to fit my own needs. For example, I work on an overall six month schedule. I will draw out July - Dec 2021 and my future log is for Jan - June 2022. Within each month, I work on a weekly system so that it contains all the notes I make in a work week. I carry forward from week to week (which is good to show me how much I am procrastinating on some tasks. I don't use collections because I find it all over the place too.

I have always been a pen and paper person so having it manual is not a problem for me. I find it quite therapeutic sometimes when working on each month. In the past I would use two notebooks, a pre-drawn schedule and a blank notebook. But with the customisation of the bullet journal method, I can combine them in one.

Friends, I am so sorry I haven't been around a lot recently but just know that my Wintergarden heart is still screaming at what we got last week and all the content after! 

Hello everyone! I am sorry I couldn't get here earlier to share my thoughts of the episode (SO BUSY THIS FORTNIGHT). But here now, hopefully things will ease off and I can get here sooner.

This episode did not disappoint, it was clearly meant to be a crowd-pleaser, giving us everything we missed about the show (daily life, petty fights, the characters we know and love), picking up the loose ends from S1Ep12 to tie them up or springboard towards new narratives, all with a nice balance of humour, romance, pain and poignancy. I think that the only thing we are missing is a Lacking 5 meal! The only downside for me was the numerous parallels to S1 that the show incorporated. Some of them I thought were really important, but the frequency of it felt *a bit much*. One way I am choosing to look at these parallels is as a narrative device to recall the first season and what happened there.

Some thoughts and observations after watching the episode.

• Watching Seokhyung deliberate about his response to Minha showed me that he does have a care for her feelings even though he eventually went with the less-friendly sounding message.

• Sigh, Minha was already at the restaurant when she sent the text! And the way she was going through with it rather than just asking for the food to be taken away! She’s so optimistic and hopeful to really go after what she wants. I wasn’t surprised when she directly asked Seokhyung who YSH was. My stocks are invested in GomGom, we will see where this ride takes us!

• Bidulgi is so adorable! And I love how she’s pretending that they are not that far away by saying she will take the bus to come see him.

• So cute that the elders are having their own Christmas gathering! So Gyeoul really was the first to know that Jeongwon is staying since he only called Rosa and the Hospital Director after he got home! And Rosa is so quick on the update, she’s already figured out that Gyeoul contributed towards Jeongwon’s change of heart! And Rosa Best Mum not caring about Gyeoul’s background as long as her son is happy!

• From Ikjun’s appearance to Minha talking to Seokhyung, all the happenings here are just one day - 6 January 2020. I thought it was a span of a few weeks!

• Gomgom mirroring each other’s expressions in this episode are so cute. BRB investing in Gomgom stocks!

• Finally the Lacking 5 are together again! Took the show long enough! I think this is a cute callback to S1 when she was getting picked up but now she’s the one picking them up!

• I wasn’t sure why Ikjun was opening the window in the car but it reminded me of how Songhwa wanted to open the window when it was raining in Ep11.

• I sigh at the pain of Iksong right now, especially when I remember the happiness of the band scene for MTYYTM immediately after the confession. The rainbows in the tunnel, being artificial illuminations, to me was a symbol of the artificial peace they are going to try to maintain in their relationship after she rejects him. I hope they emerge into clearer air soon.

SO EXCITED EVERYONE! 

I have butterflies in my stomach!

Fan subs of the TMI interviews that was posted last week. Gosh, so much content! I can barely keep up!

That's Kang Han Na? I didn't recognise her? Kinda thought she was a Chinese actress at first glance!

did you told him you have a stash? lols

I just ordered a new one actually but I don't dare to tell him 

I voted for Wintergarden! But really I am investing new stocks into GomGom! Their story has so many ways to go at this moment!

Loved the first season!  I bought the book right away... Um mm, I will just stick with watching the series. No offense to the author. just didn't click for me. I think am too loyal to other historical fiction authors. 

You might want to join our Book Lounge, lots of discussion on books there :)

Somewhat stationery related but my boss noticed my current notebook is nearing the end and HE GIFTED ME A NEW ONE. I am so touched!

That may just start a riot!

So lucky, Im still yet to be able to try this top tier Jollibee that many speak of. One day...one day......

Isn't that exciting! You have more junk food to look forward to!

@LaLaI'm actually also interested to find out more about mafia game couple (AJW's mom and head doctor). Hope theirs also will sail in S2 

Haha you and Kim Daemyung!

No Jollibee here. I've never tried Jollibee's chicken. Back then I was in love with their spaghetti LOL

Oh yes, it's so good!

er....i dont have honey hahhaa...cause i rarely use honey

I had a honey phase for awhile, made hot honey water a lot! The flavoured honey I had in Japan was also sooo good. Would re-purchase!

Honey with nuggets??? lols tell me when both of you @TRaNz try it lols....

 

You can try too, just bring your own honey 

3 hours ago, mademoiselle said:

I support "for science" although I'd imagine it'd taste similar to sweet & sour sauce (the sweet bit) but I've declared McNugget in my ban list now due to recent not delicious experience. I think when it comes to fried chicken, KFC over McD (for western fast food).

Hmm possibly, but I think its the texture of the honey that weirds me out too. I don't like KFC at all now, maybe it's just bad in SG. There's another local brand called Arnold's that's so much better! Or Jollibee! I just tried it recently.

I thought about it some more at work today....as much as I want you to try it for us..i mean Science....it still seems horrible. LOL.

I feel like I have to now. Lol!

8 hours ago, TRaNz said:

Errrr......yeah look im all for the nuggets but just honey? That is weird.....Someone try it and let us know how weird it is. LOL. 
Im trying to imagine it in my head and it has NOT gone well. LMFAO

That's what I have been doing ever since it's out! I need to pluck up the courage to try it. For science.
