anyone who knows me knows i love anything korea...korean dramas, movies and songs, i love them all...well, mostly...anyway, naturally i am fascinated with koreans...in auckland, it's like a mini korea, where there are koreans everywhere...i've met lots of koreans but talked to so few of them...one guy, i've seen him so many times in uniguide and ambassador (uni of auckland's programmes that i've done for 2 years, so far), but i've never got the chance to talk to him...
see, there are too many of us, uniguides and ambassadors, i mean...but one thing for sure, only about 1/4 keep coming back (like ole me!)...so, i got my chance about a few days ago...my friend joyce knows him...so when we saw him trying to get in the locked-out clock tower (one of uni's buildings), we tried to help him...while waiting for help, i, being a shameless person that i am, told him how obsessed i am in all things korea...he kinda understood and even entertained me by doing korean imitations...
you see, a few days ago i saw a clip of a korean movie by one of my favourite actor...this actor used to study in auckland a few years back...so, he can speak english reasonably well, with korean accent of course...in this movie he was an american (a second generation korean in america)....he spoke english all the time...but this story wasn't about him...it's about another character, who was also a korean american...he ran with the wild american crowd which cursed a lot...but, funnily, his english was sooo accented, instead of 'fuck!', it sounded very much like 'foook!'...it was damned hilarious!
thus, when i told this korean-descent guy i met at ambassador, he imitated korean accented english and started going 'well, fook you!!!!you mootha fakka!!!'...it was a moment to remember forever...kamsamida!!!!...chuwaeyo!!!!....it was awesome!!!...
