Just cannot resist writing after watching this week's 1박2일. Might translate everything at the end, let's see if i'm in the mood. I dont think anyone drops by here anyway. Ok, for dear Cheryl's sake i will translate most of what i have here. the korean captions are in () and translations are in {}, cheryl! and they are rough translations, dont take them to be 100% accurate, they are mostly around there but not word for word.. my self commentaries are marked as *.
On the car, the 6 boys are heading towards the bungee jump after Jiwon's 108 bows. 지원: 아!~ 잔짜 밥 어떻게? {ahh!~ really, what about our lunch?) 호동: 일단 가평에서 번지점프를 김C하고! {later at KaPyong, KimC will do the bungee jump.. LOL, what a prediction} 김C: 에??!! (내가 왜?) 내가?? {what? (why me??) me??} 승기: 지원형 번지 콜! {Jiwon hyung bungee, call!} 지원: 또 해 내가? {i'm doing it again?} 몽: 형 진짜 멌있을 거야 {hyung, you're really cool/handsome} 지원: (관심없다) {not interested in his compliment}
*haha the whole exchange here was so funny. everyone is just trying to get out of bungee jumping. and Jiwon was so tired he could care when Seung Gi arrowed him, LOL. oh Seung Gi my boy, you have no idea what you are getting yourself into by arrowing JiWon!!
호동: 난 은지원을 추천합이다 {i vote EJW to do the bungee jumping} (seung gi starts giggling in the backseat, and later everyone starts laughing) 지원: (이럴 줄 알았어) {i knew i was gonna die this time round} and 호동 asks 수군 what his choice is. 수군: 저는 이승기군 추천합이다 {for me its lee seung gi-gun} 승기 (immediately): 어우 왜요 형!! {ooh, why, hyung!!} and they start talking about 승기's popularity with the viewers on 1N2D. and EJW of course grabs the chance to wriggle his way out of this. 지원: 저도 역시 이승기라고 생각합니다! {yes, i think its lee seung gi for me too!} 승기 (panicking): 아하 잠깜만요 형! {ahh, wait a minute hyung!} 김C: 저도 이승기 다! {its lee seung gi for me too!} so now its EJW 1vote and LSG 3votes. 몽's vote now becomes critical here because if he votes EJW, it will be 3:3 (including LSG's vote for EJW). And 몽 starts a hilarious analysis on the situation and how its 1:3 now and what will be their fate, and how it might end up to be 3:3, getting seung gi all hyped up thinking he has a chance to get out of bungee jumping. 몽 asks what will happen if they tie 3:3 and 호동's answer is really amusing. 호동: 대결구도면 그냥 가위.바위보 하면 됩. 죽음의 가위.바위보가. {if they tie, just get them to play scissors paper stone will do! its the scissors paper stone to decide who dies.} .. and he starts laughing frantically. 몽 finally makes his critical decision.... 몽: 저 이승기라고 생각합니다!! {its lee seung gi for me!}
*ahh yes, and with that, his fate is sealed. ahh.. my poor boy never thought the tide would turn against him, did he? hahaha!! they even asked him who he wanted to choose for the jump and he just totally explodes and gives up, screaming 아! 이승기! (ah! lee seung gi!) thereby making his bungee jump inevitable. then he starts talking about how he hasnt even taken the thrilling amusement rides before, how is he supposed to complete this challenge? and seung gi starts to majorly space out on the car because of his nervousness, and mong grins in amusement at him. to give seung gi support, 호동 initiates a mass '승기야!'screaming session. it was really comical, seeing that 승기 himself joined in the screaming. and while all the others slept in the car while driving to the destination, poor 승기 couldnt sleep at all, and suguen asked him if he couldnt sleep because he of nervous. of course! he was just fidgeting around, lol.
and finally they reach the place.. and EJW starts saying ahh, i can jump from this height too. and he gives this big smirk on his face. and he says didnt you see, that time i jumped with shinwa too? LOL, lets see about that, EJW!! 호동 starts crapping on about seung gi and his jump like as if its the last time they'll see each other and 승기's reply 다시 만날 수 있잖아요, 우리! {we will still meet again in future!} was side splitting:D the rest of the guys start giving seung gi hugs and singing au lang syne, like its a goodbye jump, and seung gi just keeps protesting that they will still meet again, lol. and so they make their way to the elevator to get up to the platform.
~~~ 이승기 하고 강호동 하고 은지원 지상 55M 위 번지점프대로 이동 중!~ {LSG, KHD and EJW acsending the 55m bungee jump}
호동: 내가 생각했을 때 이건 무모한 도전이다! 그런 생각이 들면 솔직하게 얘기를 해. 그럼 그 때는 밀어줄데니까! {i think this is really tough! if you really cant do it, you must say it honestly later ok? then i'll give you some help by pusching you off} 승기: 감사합니다! {THANKS!...}
*haha, seung gi was all so serious and nervous looking one minute before and KHD's joke made him crack up:) KHD is really a nice hyung to the others, making them laugh and taking care of them..
수근: 승기야! 드려? {seung gi yah! is it high?} 승기: 아 장난아니야! 높아!! {ah its not a joke! its very tall (up here)!} 수근: (장난 아니면 왜 해?) [if its not a joke, why do it?]
*lol.. nothing to say.. he voted 오빠 in the first place..ㅋㅋㅋ~~ 아.. 승기오빠 너무 귀여워요:) "장난아니야!!" ㅋㅋㅋ~ 호동 starts talking to the coach, and it seems 오빠 is really anxious. well, of course! 번지점프 is not exactly an everyday activity..
~~~
승기: 바람이 왜 이렇게 차냐! 아!이씨!!! 야~~진짜 나 놀이기구도 안타는데! [why is the wind so strong?! ah~~ really, i havent even taken amusement rides before!!}
*ㅎㅎㅎ~~ 오빠 재미있어요. finding fault with the wind out of nervousness. and he really hasnt taken amusement rides before? all those roller coasters and stuff??!! oh 승기오빠야! 웃겨!!
(그리고 또 혼잣말..) {and he starts muttering to himself again}
*ㅋㅋㅋ 너무 긴장 그래서..
~~~
한편... 호동: 실패하면 바로 지원이로...! {if he fails then EJW you have to do it...!} 지원: 에??!! {huh??!!} (승기가 못 뛰면 내가 뛰어야 한다고??!!) {if seung gi doesnt do it then i'm jumping??!!} 난 했잖아요, 108배를.. {i did it already.. the 108 bows..}
*지원이 obviously sweating it out at the thought of maybe having to replace 승기 in this mission, our 은초딩:D so funny!!
and so the crowd is all cheering and prepping 승기보빠.. 승기야 가자! 하지만... {but..} 승기: 와... (뛰지 않아요!!) {wah... and he doesnt jump!} and all of them down there start protesting:) "에씨!~~ 뭐야?! 뛴다고 했잖아요!" {eeeiishhh!! what's this?? just jump!!}
*haha!! must say i was quite disappointed that he didnt jump the first time. it would have been 아주 cool!
은초딩: 아직 시간 여유있어! [you have time to prepare yourself!} 10분! {10minutes!} and of course funny boy 초딩 had to grab hold of the opportunity and churn out a wisecrack. thought he was so sweet and supportive when he asked 승기 to take his time and prepare himself before jumping, until he said this. nearly fell out of my chair laughing at it. he can be soo funny sometimes.
so then we have 몽 commenting that he really couldnt jump if he were up there. people who cant jump arent stupid, there are many people who cant do it. ooh, mong, i totally agree with you on that. its really hard to overcome the fear, especially if you are a city kid like seung gi. and 지원 starts screaming 승기야! 뛰수있다! {seung gi yah!! you can jump!!}the 호동 way. LOL!!~ even the audience at the ground level starts screaming and asking him to jump.
하지만.. 또 포기!! he looked like he was about to burst into tears kneeling down on the platform.. and 초딩 went up to 승기 patting his shoulders to encourage him, at the same time giving the most contorted facial expression ever. the caption they placed with his expression totally cracked me up. '네가 못뛰면, 다음이 나다...' {if you dont jump, i'm next...} ㅋㅋㅋ~~ no wonder he wants to encourage 승기:D the PDs are really great at coming up with these captions that are so fitting of each of those classic 1박2일funny moments! just when you thought they cant get any better, 승기's remake version of 고해 starts playing in the background. (이들을) 어찌합니까 어떻께 할까요..ㅋㅋㅋ how do we do this... LOL!!~ 지원 starts to comfort 승기, but the thought that 너 다음이 나야 제발.. {the next one after you is me, please!!} he's probably really panicking while comforting 승기 when he gives up for the 3rd consecutive time.. and 고해 plays in the background again.
while 승기 is prepping himself, the VJs are of course keeping a close eye on his every expression. i'm not sure whether i will ever get the chance this lifetime to go bungee jumping too, but i'm rather sure that if i do, my expression will definitely not be any better than his at this point in time. the boy was nervous, really nervous and it showed.. when he stood up, the VJ did a hilarious 360degree turn to capture his emotions:D 호동being the big 형 that he is, asked 승기 to let out his pent up emotions and 승기 let out a loud scream. in any case, the VJ then got the brilliant idea of asking him to scream his own name too. it was pretty wierd in a comical way to hear 오빠 scream '승기야!' not once but twice! plus a resounding '내기 이승기다!' {i'm lee seung gi!} to top it off with a flourish before sauntering off to try again. ahh..such cuteness!
하지만... 승기: 잠깜만 잠깜만 잠깜만!!! 지원이형 지원이형 지원이형! {wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute!!! Jiwon hyung, Jiwon hyung, Jiwon hyung!}
*yes.. he doesnt jump! '대기번호 1번 지원을 찾는 승기' instead he runs to a terrified looking 지원이형. who starts backing away in fear. yes, his worst nightmare has materialised! since 승기 has reached his limits, it seems that 지원 really has to take his place. the two start struggling, 지원 trying his best to run away and 승기 holding on to him for dear life. the whole scene just cracked me up to no end, two big boys really panicking over a bungee jump. and the most startling revelation was to come. in his desperate bid to get out of performing the mission, 지원 finally spilled the beans on the truth.
아니, 내 의사를 들어야자! 나 이거 안 뛰어 봤어 나! 나 경헙자가 아니라니까요! 나 얘한데 힘수려고 거짓말했단 말이야! {no, its not like this! i havent done the bungee jump before! i havent done it before! what i said (about having jumped with shinwa) is a lie to give seung gi strength!!}
*헉!! 이건 모두 거짓말 이라고?! {what?!! its all a lie?} yep, all that about him jumping with shinwa before was all a major lie, and his words were backfiring on him. and they played 승기's white lie in the background to play up the whole comical mood. it was amusing to see 승기 하고 호동 kneel beside him in utter disbelief when he admitted his lie. they almost couldnt speak! and KHD starts saying EJW can jump, since he did the 108bows already, and EJW said he would do it again to get out of jumping. but seung gi still took off the stuff and EJW had to start putting it on. and EJW heaves a big sigh
지원: 내가 십몇년 방송동안한번도! 어떻해서 든 뺐던 번지접프를...! {i've been filiming for 10 odd years now and not once! how am i going to do this bungee jump...!} KHD rolls on the floor laughing at that, and seung gi goes to the side smiling in relief, since he's not jumping now. KHD notices he's really relieved and goes over to talk to him. seung gi thanks KHD, and KHD says are you going to sign a lifetime contract now? (old joke la!!) and seung gi was like, omg, of course, please pass the contract now! and he prepares to print his thumbprint on the camera. KHD says so lee seung gi, you will sign this contract, until you pass on and your children are going to take over?
승기: 네! 아들에 3대, 5대. 다돼! {yes! my children, 3rd generation, 5th generation. ALL OK!!} hahaha, this part was soooo funny! on the other hand EJW was going arghhh!! and KHD was like, dear viewers, please look, one is so relieved, and the other is in agony! One is now able to live, while the other is going to die! LOL!!! EJW goes to the side and KimC and Suguen were so happy EJW was going to do it and told the people EJW was jumping. Everyone got so excited and started screaming eun cho-ding!! LOL!! then EJW got all mad and panicky and screamed "why did you ask them to do this??!!i didnt ask you to do it!!" but the three of them on the ground can hear what he was screaming! and they started playing EJW's adios in the background to hilarious effect. Why baby why?!!
suguen starts saying its the longest drama he's watched this season, its the 1st time he's watched a drama for 3hours and it hasnt ended. true enough the whole thing was like a drama:P EJW treis to jump... but he doesnt!! he starts screaming about how his heart feels like its going to jump out the instant he stands at the end of the platform and is preparing to jump, and he grabs onto the railing and lets out a loud roar "THIS IS REALLY NOT A JOKE!!!" mong asks the people gathered on the ground to go home and have dinner, but not surprisingly no one moves, everyone is captivated by the bungee drama.
well, then EJW tries again but fails AGAIN, and all of them are getting pretty desperate. the sun's setting, they are only at their second destination, and they've already spent 3plus hours at the bungee jump. so they called up suguen, and kimC says he would do it for the two of them. the two boys were so grateful, lol. and kimC just went up and jumped like as if he did it for breakfast everyday. wooah!!~ love these six guys!!!
they say a fortune teller can never predict his/her own fortune. and it goes pretty much the same way for most things in life too. for one thing, i know that a psychology student cant analyse her own psyche and emotions rationally and logically. says who students of psychology can read minds? thats utter rubbish. if that was possible, so many problems wouldnt exist now. i havent wanted to face up to this for quite some time now. i know its bothering me, but there seems to be so many things involved. sometimes it seems dramatically simple, at other times its so impossibly complicated. am i thinking too much? thinking too little? reading too much into things? or have i missed time after time an opportunity? that door, does it exist? if it does, is it still open? do i just want to look into the door and see what life is like if i cross over? am i ready to to cross over? is that door meant for me? is what thats behind the door really what i want? familiarity is a trap that pulls me in and binds me so tightly to the situation that i can no longer think straight. indulging in this comfortable familiarity is a habit, and its just so easy to go on. to to hold on would be to sink in deeper into murky waters that blur my sight and choke me, and to let go would be to axe off my one pillar of support. maybe my blood will continue to flow, but i know it will be painful, like a stake driven into raw skin thats left alone. no one knows if it will heal completely or become infected beyond help. i know this isnt just about familiarity, its also about reliance and dependency thats one phone call away, a knowledge that needs no words sometimes. things fit well, and when that happens, desire is a double edged sword. wanting more but with no repercussions, thats the problem. maybe thats why they always say no pain no gain. when it comes to getting things into the open, i have absolutely zero courage. especially when i'm not sure myself what i feel or why so. is it just convienence, so near yet so far? is it just to fill that empty space? or is it something deeper and more that has somehow developed? oh goodness, i'm only 19! I DONT KNOW ALL THE ANSWERS! and its getting so tiring... anguish, frustration, helplessness, anger, happiness, contentment, dissatisfaction confusion all continuing to snowball, with no foreseeable end in sight. i'm exceedingly afraid of pain. maybe you smirk and say who isnt, but i really am exceptionally afraid of pain, whether its physical or psychological. and i get the feeling that this fear seals up my ability to give a 100% to a single person. i'm willing to go the extra mile for people i love as friends, i'm willing to give up things for them, but i just can open up myself to do that for a single person, especially after that 6 years. its too painful to relive the estatic highs and the bottomless lows of doing so. my heart is just cold, rejecting, and highly guarded when it comes to this matter. and the problem comes in here, i'm not sure if i have an occupied seat, or whether its completely frozen and empty. i know what the world thinks of this. they look and its just very simple to them, and they have the general consensous that things must be happening or have already happened. i've almost given up in this aspect. there's no use trying, no one listens anyway. i just want clarity and stability. and no pain. can you give me that?

WOOT!~ my year one has officially ended:) its time to watch endless videos, go out endlessly, work part time, enjoy!~ i'm exhilarated!~ upbeat retro asian songs never fail to make me happily amused. whether its in mandarin, korean, japanese, that distinctive sound always puts me in a good mood. you can really tell time just from music alone. the pitch perfect and smooth delivery with the resonant vibrato effortlessly floating out from deep down in the diaphragm peppered with a little cheese, thats retro music for you. people from different eras really sing very differently and this shows when you listen to modern interpretations of old songs. recently discovered 땡벌, this really cute retro korean song. i was so amused when the song started and the singer sang Ahhhhh~~~ with that super old school vibrato style. until i stumbled onto 이승기 version of the song, which he sang live on radio. i almost laughed myself crazy, it was just soooo funny and cute to hear a ballad singer try to imitate the old school style. its just, i dont know, really different, the two schools of singing. and the chorus! the 땡벌! 하하하하하!!!~~ 너무 너무 좋아요... :) 땡벌 by 강진 (i think he's the original singer)
땡벌 by 이승기
땡벌 아~~ 당신은 못 믿은 사람 아~~ 당신은 철없는 사람 아무리 달레 봐도 어쪌 순 없지만 마음 하나는 괜잖은 사람 오늘은 들국화 내일은 장미꽃 치근 치근 치근대다가 잠이 들겠지
난 이젠 지쳤어요 땡벌 (땡벌) 기다리다 지쳤어요 땡벌 (땡벌) 혼자서는 이 밤이 너무 너무 추워요 당신은 못 말리는 땡벌 (땡벌) 당신은 날 울이는 땡벌 (땡벌) 혼자서는 이 밤이 너무 너무 길어요
아~~ 당신은 야속 한 사람 아~~ 당신은 모를 사람 밉다가도 돌아서면 마음에 걸리는 마음 하나는 따뜻한 사람 바람에 맴돌다 또 맴돌다 어딘가 기웃 기웃 기웃대다가 잠이 들겠지
난 이젠 지쳤어요 땡벌 (땡벌) 기다리다 지쳤어요 땡벌 (땡벌) 혼자서는 이 밤이 너무 너무 추워요 당신은 못 말리는 땡벌 (땡벌) 당신은 날 울이는 땡벌 (땡벌) 혼자서는 이 밤이 너무 너무 길어요 당신은 사랑해요 땡벌 (땡벌) 당신은 좋아해요 땡벌 (땡벌) 밉지만 당신을 너무 너무 사랑해
