H U M A N I T Y

Hey guys, I'm here to write something about Descendants Of The Sun...haha...I know I'm one year late...
but then remember what I said last year in THIS entry, haha...I did say, I couldn't finish to watch DOTS...yeah, last year, that's the truth.

That time, I couldn't finish this drama (just managed to watch until ep 2 or 3) because it was too OVERRATED + the main characters fell in love too fast, which lead me to think that that drama would be all about romance + cheesy etc.

So, I stopped watching it.

However, yesterday, after about 3 days, I managed to watch all of the episodes of DOTS... why am I watching DOTS after a year ? hahah...of course, all of you already know about SONGSONG COUPLE IS GETTING MARRIED IN OCTOBER.
(You can say that I watch this to ship this couple, hhaha)

and I would like to say this, this time...

All my thoughts in the past were completely wrong...this drama isn't the type of drama that is so predictable and full of romance...no, not at all...
and you know what, I can't even ship the couple after watching this even when they really really look good together....

Because I started to think about the bigger issues that happen all around the globe.
(This means, I still want to ship the couple...lol)

See... ? Now, I understand why this drama was insanely popular and gained a lot of awards...

Okay, hehe...instead of saying this, let me make it clear why I think this drama is great!

This drama is about the soldier, Captain Yoo Si Jin and the doctor, Dr Kang Mo Yeon who met unexpectedly and fell for each other instantly. However, due to their occupations, they had to end up their relationship, but then, after eight months they met again, in unexpected situation, unexpected place...
Their relationship was full with the ups and downs...mostly, because of their occupations.

heee...
I write the synopsis that way, because I want to highlight how the drama focused on the occupations but not love story (in case you also misunderstood the drama like my old self...lol)

If you're looking for a romantic comedy drama, this ain't the perfect one.
But, if you're looking for something realistic and full of life...yeah, of course, still include that romantic and comedy but in a good way, definitely, this is the perfect one!

I once hated the idea of how Si Jin instantly, fell in love with Mo Yeon, but as I watched this drama, I couldn't believe that I hated it when Si Jin had to go somewhere when he's on dates with Mo Yeon.
They both were busy with their works, and it's so hard for them to find time to go on date...but when they're on dates, still...they couldn't date...ahh...too bad.

When they met again in Urk...even when the timing seemed not perfect, but it was perfect for them to always met up (not dating). At least, they had time to stay close to each other. And that's enough...

I think Captain Yoo Si Jin is the perfect realistic male character...it's hard for me to like any of main characters before (except Do Min Joon, an alien from My Love From The Star)...hahah...
But for Si Jin, I think, he's a really really cool and calm guy, who acknowledged his responsibility and duty. His responsibilities were tested a lot...and a lot more when he fell in love with Mo Yeon, but still...as a guy who took his occupation very seriously, Si Jin managed to put aside his feelings even though it's hard for him.

Wow. That seems so so great.

I know, in reality, when people choose their works over families or the people that they love, other people tend to ask,
"So, your work is more important ? So, what am I to you? Go and marry your work then" blablablabla...

But come to think of it, work is the responsibility that involves the world, not just people around us... like Si Jin, he went to wars and fight bad people, if he chose to stay, what would happen ?

Hmm, the thing is, remember not to be so selfish if you want to be with unselfish people.
"Go and marry your work...", what a selfish statement...
= ="

For Mo Yeon, she's the normal woman who faced a lot of problems in her life. It's hard to be in her place too... especially when she had been passed over for professorship in a favor of colleague who had familial connections to the hospital management
So, when she had a chance to be a doctor-who-is-on-tv-not-operation-room, it's easy to understand her feeling as human when she used that opportunity very well.

It's a human thing, to do that when we lost all our hopes...

But then, thankfully, she realized about her responsibilities once again after going on a mission in Urk...

To be a doctor, the responsibilities, the reasons...etc

Enough talking about the main character...

Now, I would like to say this, if I watched this drama when I was 15, I might not end up where I am today (taking an engineering course)
Hahah...just saying, because...one character really caught my eyes, I mean, her occupation.

First Lieutenant, Yoon Myung Ju.

Because at sixteen, I had to choose my path, whether wanted to take technical-science , pure science...etc

Myung Ju, an army doctor.

I really really think that's a cool job and only those who are great enough will be able to do the job perfectly (this means, I ain't great enough... = =")

Hahah...come to think of it, as a doctor, of course you need to be calm when treating the patients but then plus the army, how do you think it will be...the pressure is a lot more because now, you have to be calmer than before...

Imagine treating the patients at the war, at the natural disaster scenes...oh my goodness...

Calm, is such a hard feeling...not all people can stay calm in a serious situation. Bravos to all of the army doctors out there...you're super super great.
I admire you Sir and Madam :-)

In this drama, Myung Ju fell in love with Master Sergeant Seo Dae Young...
Haa...and now, I would like to talk about Seo Dae Young.

Seo Dae Young also is a character that knew his responsibilities very well like Si Jin...the thing is, even when that's the case, Myung Ju's father didn't like him to be with his daughter and used to make commands that would part Dae Young and Myung Ju...

I really hate that Dad character...he misused his power... = ="
Eeee...

Enough talking about the characters...now I would like to talk about the great scenes that definitely will bring tears to your eyes...

First and foremost, of course, when there's an earthquake...

Really, I never even imagined how it's to be in that situation for real...now when I think about it, I know it's hard.
Stay and alive.
Stay and die.
Run and still die.
Run and alive.

There're a lot of probabilities.
Really.

That scene when the medical team went to the place after the earthquake...ahh...

and all the scenes between Doctor Lee Chi Hun and Kang Min Jae...
Oh my...

so so great...brings tears, and at the same time, brings great realization of reality of work life and responsibilities...

hmm, last but not least, the scene when Myung Ju and Mo Yeon still saved the bad guy and turned out he brought contagious disease with him...
that scene is so great and meaningful... hmm, sometimes, the consequences after we carry out our responsibilities successfully aren't always great and sweet...and that's the reality of life...

anyway, I think I write a lot...

but hey, I still don't write about my favorite character...can you guess who ?
Hmm...of course, it's no other than Daniel Spencer, Peacemaker Emergency Doctor Team.

This character is so perfect and it's not that surprise if I like this character more than the great Captain Yoo Si Jin...hehhe...

Daniel Spencer, a doctor...who's from a rich family...he not only good in operation room (repairing people) but he's good in repairing things and machines...
What a dream guy.

I mean, that's perfect for me...to be a doctor, of course, that means, he's smart and read a lot and that's cool...
From a rich family, hmm...that's just a bonus...
But then, to be good in repairing things (cars, machines etc)...wow...so manly, and reliable...
hmm, plus, he's really good-looking.

Heheh...

alright, enough is enough...

I hope you notice the great impacts this drama had brought to my life...
To realize about so many things...hmm, really...
I can't think lightly about the issues like wars + natural disaster + diseases...

It's my faults to think lightly when I thought I couldn't make any change by thinking more on those issues...hmm, everyone can make a change if they want...
You know that too...

If you don't have time to watch this drama yet, I hope you can find some time to do so...  I hope you'll enjoy this drama as much as I do...

For focusing on such great issues, this drama deserves the 10/10 stars...heheh...

Truly, Madly, Deeply

Hi guys, memandangkan essay sebelum ni, dibaca oleh begitu banyak orang, aku dengan berbesar hati meluangkan masa lagi, untuk share satu lagi essay aku time zaman sekolah...
heheh...

Ahh, tapi ingatlah, Essay ni ditulis oleh aku yang berusia 17 tahun, waktu tu lah aku ambil SPM and dapat A+, aku yang sekarang (20 tahun), English nya agak berkarat...hahaha...sebab aku dah kurang membaca...menjadi pemalas setelah tamat sekolah = =", ish...ish...ish...

Kepada yang bakal duduki SPM, all the best! Sila jangan malas setelah tamat sekolah ya, jalan masih panjang.

Oh ya, essay ni merupakan essay titik mula aku minat English, semuanya disebabkan ni adalah essay pertama aku yang mendapat perhatian ramai (sebelum tu, essay aku sendu2 sahaja, tak famous)... Famous nya esei aku yang satu ni dapat dilihat dari sudut...jeng...jeng...
Esei ni masuk majalah sekolah! Nak tak nak, pelajar sekolah aku, dengan kata lain, 'membeli' eseiku ini...(kan majalah sekolah kena bayar, = =") - haha, walaupun begitu, aku tak dapat keuntungan pun dari sudut wang, hanyalah nama aku sedikit menjadi sebutan waktu tu...

Hahah. Merepek betul. Hmm, ni essay yang aku tulis untuk Ujian 1 Form 5 (sekitar March 2014)
dan soalannya berbunyi, tulis cerita yang ending nya bebunyi "We looked at each other and smiled"

...

Since the day I was born, I never thought about this thing seriously. It was not me to draw a longbow about my life, well, when it was the truth, how could I deny ? This thing might have change my everyday life, my attitude and even myself. To call a spade a spade, amazingly, the more I thought about it, the more I realized the changes it had brought in my life. Love.

...as the saying goes, "it's love that makes world go around", I totally agreed with this.

My final examination was around the corner. To avoid studying at the eleventh hours and a little-known fact about me : I hate to burn the midnight oil. I used to do the revision almost every hour. When I study, I glued myself. No one could change the way I did it. However, there was a time when the thing did not work like how it supposed to.

On that day, which wouldn't be just like every other day, I started my day as usual but finally my mother could change it in a blink of an eye. She asked me to help her to buy an ice-cream  for her when I was studying in my bedroom. At first, I said I could not understand the way she thought about this. For an ice-cream, I must left my study, my mother really thought that way ? When I told her, she said, "Time will tell, you'll thank me for this. Anyway, I'll treat you an ice-cream."

I was in low spirit, cycling my bike to the nearby shop. I didn't know why I help her as every time she asked me, I refused to help her and it worked. She would easily ask my brother to help her. When I reached the shop, I felt my heartbeat, beat faster than usual. I saw a boy. It was him. The person I love the most in my world.

His hair was neat and looked as if it was woven from the hues of midnight sky. His face, made me bear in my mind the face of my favorite actor, Lee Min Ho. Just like I was dreaming, all I could see was a handsome boy in a sapphire blue shirt under a white track jacket. I couldn't take my eyes off him. He was so perfect, at least his appearance told me that and made me think that way.

He was choosing a book to be bought. Only a book. Like I was all into him, I knew that at that time I just thought, a guy with book seemed so cool! How I wish I know him! In a perfect way, mostly the way he did at all time in that shop, he paid for the book to the cashier. He stepped out from the shop elegantly and quickly rode his motorcycle to the place I might know.

After he went out from the shop, I made my way to home. I did not realize that I had forgot what my mother asked me to but at the shop. With spring in my steps, and the full of thought about him in my brain, I sang a beautiful love song and rode my bike to home. I believed that I smile from ear to ear along my way to home.

When I reached home, my mother might have realize that I wore a sweet smile on my face when she asked me about my feeling. Foolishly, I said I was extremely happy that I thought I had falling in love! My mother burst out laughing and said she would not take it seriously. My face turned red.

I went to my bedroom to continue with my revision. In my bedroom, out of sudden, I remembered that my mother did not ask me anything about the ice-cream. I couldn't barely stomach any idea about this. I went to ask her but she said, "I believe you have your own reason about this thing. Finally, the smile in your face had returned."

When I heard that from her mouth, tears began to fall from my eyes. I locked myself in my room. This time, I had learned something about myself. I felt my mother's love towards me and I thought about my attitude all this time. I realized that I was wrong about the way I used to live my life and how I refused to help my mother when she asked me. I thought about what kind of face I had showed each time I refused to help her.

"It is me who never smile ? Am I ?" Seriously, deeply I thought about it and after a while I decided to ask for an apology from my mother.

"Change your way, everyone deserves to have a second chance, turn over a new leaf, and Bob's your uncle", my mother said those words to me. In that second, the pieces of my life that had been falling apart fell back in place. Everything that was wrong just righted itself.

By the next day, once again, my other asked me to buy her an ice-cream. This time, I was willing to help her! We had a little conversation for a while and this gave my mother a chance to beat around the bush about my feeling yesterday which I foolishly told her - about I was falling in love with an unknown guy. That mysterious guy. This lead me remembering about that guy. I was thinking of him again.

By the time I reached the shop, I felt nervous. He might be there again in that shop, but, who wanted to buy a book everyday ? With hope he would be there, slowly I entered the shop and...there he was!

This moment, I saw him looking for an ice-cream. It was fated, I was going to buy an ice-cream too. "This is the best day in my life, I decided to help my mother, and God sent me this guy. God gives me the chance to butter both sides of my bread!", I thought in my heart. I went to the place where that boy was busying to pick an ice-cream. I could feel my heart raced while I was watching him.

He looked around and caught me watching him. I looked away, but it was too late. I tried not to smile, but I was embarrassed and that only made me smile more. He didn't seem to notice. Quickly, I picked an ice-cream for my mother and at the same time he picked the same ice-cream too! I nearly burst out laughing but I just smiled meaningfully. We looked at each other and smiled.

....

Hahaha...aku rasa aku zaman dulu aku memang suka berdrama...apa ni...cerita sal beli2 ice-cream... agaknya aku tengah mengidam nak makan ice-cream kot time jawab ujian ni dulu = ="

Ha, aku letak tajuk ni "Truly, Madly, Deeply" sebab  cikgu bi aku suruh aku letak tajuk esei ni kalau nak masukkan dalam majalah sekolah...waktu tu, "Truly, Madly, Deeply" merupakan lagu favorite aku...hahhaa...so, aku letak je lah.
Dan, untuk versi majalah je, aku letak nama Lee Min Ho tu, versi asal yang aku karang, takda la nama Min ho...aku buat begitu sebab zaman dulu, aku peminat fanatik Min Ho, jadi, waktu tu, aku nampak peluang nak promote nama dia dekat majalah sekolah, so, aku manfaatkanlaa...

Hahahahah.

...

Aku nak bagi quick tips kalau nak tulis essay dengan baik.
First sekali, nyawakan cerita anda. Cewwah....nyawakan tu...perghh... = ="
Hmm, maksud aku, describe la sikit. Elaborate. Jangan bagi essay tu tak ada jiwa. Tambah2 kalau tulis cerita. Contohnya, macam ni :

Adik duduk di atas kerusi sambil makan ais-krim.

Hmm, nampak ber 'nyawa' tak ? Takkan. Describe la sikit.

Adik, kanak-kanak girang yang tak mampu senyap asyik menggila, akhirnya mampu duduk senyap di atas kerusi antik berwarna coklat setelah diberi ais-krim vanila, perisa kegemarannya untuk di makan.

Hahaha...ada 'nyawa' kan ? Watak adik tu, bila describe dia girang blablabla, nampak la dia bukan watak dongeng, kerusi tu pun...setelah cakap antik blabla, nampak la, realiti kerusi tu camna... dan ais-krim tu pun...dapat bayang la, warna putih sebab perisa vanila.

Hee...tapi, please la...tu contoh sahaja. Jangan pulak terlalu over nyawakan cerita anda.

Tips kedua, hafal idioms.
Yeah, idioms buat cerita anda lebih menarik...kalau aku dulu, aku fikir idioms apa yang aku ingat, baru aku karang cerita...dengan kata lain, aku akan pusing2 jugak cerita aku tu, sampai aku boleh guna juga idioms yang aku hafal tu...
Hahaha...

Contoh, macam dalam esei di atas, aku ada guna, "Bob's your uncle" kan ? ha, aku belajar idiom tu time tengok interview One Direction (sebab aku minat gila kat 1D) so, aku try2 gak nak guna...hahaha...

K, bye!

Thanks for reading this. Moga bermanfaat.
