This is just a fun day. We had a serious meeting which finished late at KOFIC, then we went home and missed dinner. So we had to eat out and each of us had to give 10000 won which is equivalent to around 10 USD since we had a dinner that's worth 30000 won. We had a great time - me, parul of india and ha of vietnam. we were like in beer even without its actual presence... as we enjoyed the night. then we started hanging out at the family mart almost fronting the foot of the mountain where are house is around 5 mins. walk, or i should say, trek from there. I also had a fun time with my SLR and i've been shooting photos in various places.
While climbing our way home, I and Parul started singing jack and jill and we were doin some crazy stuff, then i had a sight of the moon, oh yes, no wonder, it's a full moon, we're kinda lunatic... wehehe!
NOW THIS IS THE EXCITING PART!!!
At home, I had to upload the photos. I should transfer them from iPhoto and my laptop's HD to my external HD. Thing is, since Parul just came in last Friday, she wasn't able to find the adapter for her laptop for Korean outlets. So I lent her one of my 2 adapters. But I need both now since I'm charging both my laptop and I needed my external HD's separate power. So I knocked on her room...
No one's answering and I can't be too noisy because our landlady is quite tight on that especially if it's around midnight already. We always needed to minimize noise, yeah yeah, so "college-y..." Apparently, Parul was at the restroom then. Now the big problem came. She never thought she kept her room locked from inside and she left her keys inside the room. And we don't want to wake up the prying landlady who's really so tight and quite annoying at times. It actually happened to me before that I got my room locked and my key was inside the room. That was a mid morning. So the landlady opened it for me and I knew where she places the spare keys. So I got them (so quietly as i could). Imagine it was placed around 3 steps away from the opened (yes opened) door of the sleeping landlady from inside her room. Good thing we got the keys without waking her up. Now it's time to go to my room to figure out which key is Parul's. We opted to stay at my room just to make sure the noise won't wake her up (she wakes up with even the minimal noises!!
The next problem: There were like around 50-80 keys together... Now I should figure out which one is ours. So I thought the keys were arranged in some way since the landlady should be able to manage them well. I thought it could be arranged according to the floors. There were a number of names but some were not updated and they were all in Korean letters. I can read them but I can't find my name or Parul's. So by process of elimination, I took my keys and visually checked which one matches mine. After around 5 minutes, I had a good guess. And since only I and Parul are the boarders at the 3rd floor and there were two keys (one looks like mine, the other one could be hers. So I tested it to my door. Darn it worked!!! It was my spare key. Now we're guessing the other one could be Parul's spare key. We walked our way like the typical sneaking kiddos or teenagers from movies, tiptoeing and all that and with my shawl wrapped around the keys to minimize the sound (Parul's door is right next to the landlady and the landlady's door was completely opened and she easily gets disturbed),. Then I tested it, after a careful try, well, guess what, I found the right key. The door opened! Yes, it was a success from around 50-80 keys and without waking up ajuma (that's how we call the landlady here) and I was called a genius wehehe! That was less than 10 mins.!!!Woohoo!!! So I got some chocolates as a prize. It's like a detective game and I felt really great. Awesome!!! :D
The excitement.
But wait, it's not the very end yet... Coz ajuma couldn't know that I did that for the specific reason that I could possibly be blamed for any future missing whatever for the fact that I know where the spare keys are... And another tough part would be returning the key... Whew! Thank goodness it was another success!!!
I think I could play the likes of Amazing Race well, and even be a good detective or an opener of locked doors then! Not just with the choosing of the right key but also playing safe on things like maximizing the shawl to minimize the sound and other stuff concerning the unlocking of the door... Wehehe!!! Perhaps, I should also thank the full moon for it... for the guts, the energy, the lunacy, and the trippy mood, hahaha!
