Food Poisoning [Seoul - Day 4] 15-3-10


I wake up in the early morning and can hear the family are all awake. I felt ill, my stomach was not feeling good and I felt a bit sick. I had no appetite so I carried on resting and didn't eat breakfast. I hate this kind of feeling because you can put the most delicious food in front of me i.e lobster and I wouldn't be able to eat it. (-_-) Luckily, it was raining as I didn't have the energy to do anything so I was resting and sleeping most of the day. I needed to recuperate because I've not had much sleep and it's been a busy holiday so far. Rosalie's mum made me some spicy ramen for lunch with some side dishes (egg, tomatoes, mini sardines and kimchi). I still didn't have much of an appetite but forced myself to eat the side dishes as I needed some energy. Her mum is always really kind to me, she brought me some medicine and gave me Korean ginseng tablets to eat. Pretty much the rest of the day, I was only sleeping and resting. The next day, I would be flying to Jeju Island.  I was thinking it might not be possible which Rosalie's mum thought so too. I packed up anyway before I went to sleep, hoping the next day I would feel a lot better because I really wanna go to Jeju Island!

Randomly Lucky


Last Friday, I received a text from my good ol' friend Shaun asking me if I wanted to go see Rihanna at the 02 arena as he had a spare ticket. He works at Inmarsat where they have a box at the 02 so I was able to go see Rihanna for only £10 which is an absolute bargain! I was apparently second choice so luckily the original ticket holder couldn't make it to the concert. 


Tinchy Stryder and Pixie Lott were the supporting acts. Tinchy Stryder only performed a few of his songs whereas Pixie Lott performed a number of her hits and songs from her album. I've only heard a few of her songs as I'm not a fan but after hearing her live I'm now quite fond her music.



The song I enjoyed most from Pixie was her cover version of 'Use Somebody' by Kings of Leon which kind of brings back sad memories. In addition, she combined 'Meet Me Halfway' by Black Eyed Peas and 'When You Were Young' by The Killers which I thought was a great mix well blended together. After her performance I had to wait over 1/2 an hour for the main act Rihanna, which of course was worth the wait.



Rihanna put on a fantastic, energetic performance for around 2 hours. There's only a few of her songs that I've never heard of and one of them being 'Te Amo' which is my new favourite song from her. The song in this video clip is her performing 'Hate That I Love You.' After seeing her perform live, I've become more of a fan and have been lucky to have seen her perform. The concert I've also been wanting to watch this year is Alicia Keys because the sound of her voice combined with her piano is amazing. With hope, I maybe able to her at the end of this month. Live music is always amazing to listen to. I don't think I would be able to live without music. Music is what makes me peaceful and helps me to relieve my stress.

I always seem to be randomly lucky at times but always unlucky with one major subject. Maybe I'm doing something wrong because what I'm doing must not be right.
