10 Myths about introverts.

Recently on FB i found this really interesting article to read which was posted by a friend. The title was simply, 10 myths about introverts. It was shouting out to me saying hey! read me read me! And I read on to agree with alot of the pointers..so i'm gonna share this interesting read here today! I saw another one which i liked too, but i think sharing one at a time is enough.

Disclaimer: all written below from the article is from Eli Bishop's article found HERE (which i just realised he did an edit to say he did not write these and is just sharing them too...but anyway, i'll just share from his and credit the rest too). Just sharing it here so more can read about it cause well...good things are meant to be shared right? :D

Definition of introverts via Wikipedia:

Introverts are people whose energy tends to expand through reflection and dwindle during interaction. They often take pleasure in solitary activities such as reading, writing, music, drawing, tinkering, playing video games, watching movies and plays, and using computers.  The archetypal artist, writer, sculptor, engineer, composer, and inventor are all highly introverted. An introvert is likely to enjoy time spent alone and find less reward in time spent with large groups of people. They prefer to concentrate on a single activity at a time and like to observe situations before they participate. Introverts are easily overwhelmed by too much stimulation from social gatherings and engagement. They are more analytical before speaking.

Introversion is not the same as being shy or being a social outcast. Introverts prefer solitary activities over social ones, whereas shy people (who may be extroverts at heart) avoid social encounters out of fear, and the social outcast has little choice in the matter of his or her solitude.

Great list of myths about introverts via Carl King Creative:

Myth #1 – Introverts don’t like to talk.

This is not true. Introverts just don’t talk unless they have something to say. They hate small talk. Get an introvert talking about something they are interested in, and they won’t shut up for days.

Myth #2 – Introverts are shy.

Shyness has nothing to do with being an Introvert. Introverts are not necessarily afraid of people. What they need is a reason to interact. They don’t interact for the sake of interacting. If you want to talk to an Introvert, just start talking. Don’t worry about being polite.

Myth #3 – Introverts are rude.

Introverts often don’t see a reason for beating around the bush with social pleasantries. They want everyone to just be real and honest. Unfortunately, this is not acceptable in most settings, so Introverts can feel a lot of pressure to fit in, which they find exhausting.

Myth #4 – Introverts don’t like people.

On the contrary, Introverts intensely value the few friends they have. They can count their close friends on one hand. If you are lucky enough for an introvert to consider you a friend, you probably have a loyal ally for life. Once you have earned their respect as being a person of substance, you’re in.

Myth #5 – Introverts don’t like to go out in public.

Nonsense. Introverts just don’t like to go out in public FOR AS LONG. They also like to avoid the complications that are involved in public activities. They take in data and experiences very quickly, and as a result, don’t need to be there for long to “get it.” They’re ready to go home, recharge, and process it all. In fact, recharging is absolutely crucial for Introverts.

Myth #6 – Introverts always want to be alone.

Introverts are perfectly comfortable with their own thoughts. They think a lot. They daydream. They like to have problems to work on, puzzles to solve. But they can also get incredibly lonely if they don’t have anyone to share their discoveries with. They crave an authentic and sincere connection with ONE PERSON at a time.

Myth #7 – Introverts are weird.

Introverts are often individualists. They don’t follow the crowd. They’d prefer to be valued for their novel ways of living. They think for themselves and because of that, they often challenge the norm. They don’t make most decisions based on what is popular or trendy.

Myth #8 – Introverts are aloof nerds.

Introverts are people who primarily look inward, paying close attention to their thoughts and emotions. It’s not that they are incapable of paying attention to what is going on around them, it’s just that their inner world is much more stimulating and rewarding to them.

Myth #9 – Introverts don’t know how to relax and have fun.

Introverts typically relax at home or in nature, not in busy public places. Introverts are not thrill seekers and adrenaline junkies. If there is too much talking and noise going on, they shut down. Their brains are too sensitive to the neurotransmitter called Dopamine. Introverts and Extroverts have different dominant neuro-pathways. Just look it up.

Myth #10 – Introverts can fix themselves and become Extroverts.

A world without Introverts would be a world with few scientists, musicians, artists, poets, filmmakers, doctors, mathematicians, writers, and philosophers. That being said, there are still plenty of techniques an Extrovert can learn in order to interact with Introverts. (Yes, I reversed these two terms on purpose to show you how biased our society is.) Introverts cannot “fix themselves” and deserve respect for their natural temperament and contributions to the human race. In fact, one study (Silverman, 1986) showed that the percentage of Introverts increases with IQ.

did you find yourself relating to any of these?

youtube fanfest 2013 Singapore - ytff day one and day two

YouTube FanFest 2013 in Singapore was dope! (can't use that cause i'm not sure how it feels like to be on that.lol) Da Bomb!
*warning, this is a very longgg post with lotsa video, pics, screens and commentary on YTFF and Youtubers, if it aint your thing. It's best to run away now! haha*

This was my live tweet from the event. 

Thinking back I was pretty lucky for all these and am very thankful. :)

Thankful to the people who provided me with the sponsored tickets, thank you to the PR company who provided us with the tickets so that the people who passed me the tickets can have the tickets in the first place. And of course thankful to the organisers and the YouTubers which came down. 

These were the lineup for the two days. Initially I only had tickets to the first day to see David Choi (why i say david only cause of the whole list he is the one i know and love best of course! hehe) and on the second day, i was really lucky! Someone bailed out so I could join the second night too! yay! 

You can tell I just shot this pics before I wrote this posts huh. :P

On the first day I went down with G. Actually we both saw David's tweet that he was coming down then Ryan's tweet. Of course being the people we are that like them alot we were hyped up to go! Especially since we missed seeing David in his last concert in SG due to us being way too busy and stuff. :(

So we went to check out the ticket prices...and we realised that homg! there are so many people in the lineup that we don't really know of (and yesh, didn't really wanna see. then. ok, then. we were ignorant of what was to come. haha)

So we decided that we wouldn't go and would go only when David / Ryan came down on their own cause we would have a full show of only the essence of them mah. Makes sense too right? 

(it did when we were saying..but after coming back from YTFF i realised. what was I thinking yo? Give the other people a chance!) 

I was pretty much obsessed with catching up on their tweets and instagram to know what they were doing. 

BUTTT. 

by meaning obsessed i'm not exactly the fan girly type. 

I'm the appreciation type, you do good work is passionate and humble about it i will support you. No qualms about that. :)

So those were some of the youtubers which arrived in our small sunny island. <3 p="">

aww love.

even at 5% battery i couldn't get enough of wes. 

heh. 

note this were from different days...

it was pretty much a good show of how strong social media was. 

Ok. shifting gears back to the show...let me share what were some of my favourite. Mostly all of them from the first and second day were really really good. Which surprised me!!

this was the best photo i have of david choi of the night. T-T 

my phone was not cooperating. 

but david did good. 

AND AND! I saw david up close and personal when i walked out to pass some tickets to my talent. he was less than 20 steps away from me. 

i think my soul melted. 

For the first day, there was really honestly not one act at all that i disliked. And i was honestly surprised by how good each and every act of the day was...so let me share. I'll be sharing the YouTube clips from the night of the stars i like in case you don't know where to find them and also other videos which i would like to share from them...Let's go! 

*if i don't feature them it's not because i don't like them or because they are not good. I'm just sharing those which hit the spot with me. If you know what i mean;) i'll also link up their name so go check them out on your own!*

MyChonny:

I read the comments that said the crowd was dead. Hell no. i was there and know for sure it was definitely not dead. lol. my guess is that for the home viewers what they see and hear is not a direct accurate pick up from the live scene as in sometimes mics and camera placing and stuff makes a difference. 

This guy is one that i would definitely like to check out! My alpha made me miss a good 10 mins of his performance while going out to pass him tix...but because so i managed to see david. *melt.* how many times do i wanna melt? :p So i should really thank him actually. 

Name Wee:

Fellow malaysian, from my dad's hometown actually! and cousin's same school. I  never had a good impression of this dude to say the truth, but when he came up and started singing his first song i was still like meh. But after he started playing this song i shared i was like oooh. not bad. and me and g were actually enjoying it. 

I couldn't find his YTFF clip, did they take it off for some reason? but anyway, this was the one i particularly enjoyed. and raised my impression of him. not bad not bad. 

Cooking With Dog

when we saw the description i thought i was going to just daze off, but it was actually a very fun interview! Click on the link to find out more on the clip. The wittiness of the voice behind the poodle and the host was a hit for me!

No, don't think i'll really start watching this, but as a personality, the Japanese lady is really humble and nice. Humble with real potential is always a winner for me and at her age doing youtube videos. 

I respect!

This next guy blew my socks off!

Hikakin:

He just came up and literally beatbox his way into the crowd's heart!

i particularly like the Q&A session, hope the girl managed to get his number! heh heh! Single no more hikakin! lol

and of course my favourite of favourites of the night without a doubt 

David Choi:

If you haven't subscribed and listen to his songs? 

Are you sure you are my friend...*gives you the eyes* hahaha. 

no seriously. he is that good. 

have a listen. 

nuff said.

Natalie Tran:

Another one which i was quick to dismiess once i saw the brochure wrote, google hangout. i mean like pfft, how interesting can it get? 

Well apparently i was wrong for the night yet again. 

She is another of the personalities that i will be catching to see if i'll be subscribing soon! Her interview and intro at YTFF was really funny though!!:D

Chester See:

the ending act was done by the charismatic chester with his suit tie and whole get up. 

any fan girl would have swoon. 

That being said. no i'm not, but he did well :))

and when he went up he reminded us alot of our colleague chris, so we whatsapped another colleague who was there (she was the one who saved us the tix, much love!).And...her response was. 

Only if you blur the face. 

LOL.

Talk about ouch!

lol lol.

Only pic i took to show it was day one's ticket. 

And so that was day one!

The day one participants hit me as a bunch of people who really love what they did on YouTube, they started out not for the fame nor for the money and they are still in it because they are passionate about it. And also many came across as very humble. A passionate humble person who is good in his/her art, that i truly respect. We need more people like that. These days many people want to gain fame over night, i mean it is not wrong cause who doesn't love short cuts. 

But remember, if you aren't passionate about something, it won't last and you might never be truly happy. 

So jia you all the stars that i saw over the two nights! I hope you all stay true to yourself and keep that light burning. :)

...

I thought i would be heading home early to catch the live screening of day two. 

but i was really lucky. 

(ok, ignoring the fact that the crowd was really really bad on day two. all the pushing, jostling, shouting and all before we went in and show commence. I totally abhor that. i'm not really a crowd push and go person. i can't handle that.) Lucky Jayne and Xian looked out for me though. :) I think that start dampen my mood a little. Just a little. I was still overall excited to see Ryan with hopes of seeing Wes and maybe David cause David told us the day before that Wes was there! hehe. 

We had a little surprise!

Lead Guitarist of Aerosmith turned up for a little extra bonus for us and advertisement for their Saturday's gig!

Wasn't really a fan but they are legendary!

that was soooo good pls!!

My phone was a little more cooperative on day two!

ok now off to the night.

So here are some which hit home with me from night two which i wanna share. Let's go again! :

Eat your Kimchi:

I've heard alot about this duo and catch snippets of them. But after that night they officially got into my list of i must go catch their videos and subscribe to them! They were funny there and the videos they showed were also funny. 

ok. i really didn't enjoy DomePakorn's performance. seemed abit yaya and he didn't even show his own video, he was showing his record label's video which was in my opinion not what i really like. eh? o.o hello? but that could be only just me. 

Boyce Avenue:

I honestly haven't really heard much about them, but everyone was raving about them and they have a whooping 900 million views. Have i been living under a rock?! well i thought so until i was playing my david choi playlist on my app yesterday and realised that wait a minute there!

I have been listening to boyce avenue and liking them even before i knew it! that is the power of good potential. even if you don't sell your name, people would still think you are good because you are. :)

Ryan Higa:

If you don't know who Ryan is...my turn now. Have you been living under a rock?! lol lol. 

He has 1.5 billion views for his videos! No seriously, after I watched his collab with Wongfu pro I was hooked on all the rest of his videos and watch them all. He is really good! What he uses is wit, which means he really has to put effort into what he does. Many think eh this youtube people has no substandard, so wrong you are. If you look closely at alot of their content you can see many of them do put alot of thought into it. Scripting directing and all. 

Look how far Ryan and of course my beloved WongFu has come. I can attest to that because i was a fan before Wongfu productions was officially Wongfu productions with the three of them. :)

and i'm especially grateful Ryan shared the stage with Andrew and Wes. <3 nbsp="">

Thanks Ryan!

Was so happy when Ryan surprised us with Andrew. 

I knew of Andrew Garcia from his American idol days and loved his singing then so was really happy when i learnt he got together with YTF and did videos. :)

i found this version, they didn't have the American idol one. 

Your welcome. :)

And then Ryan brought up Wes...wes...wessssss! :)

bad photo but i have a really short video!

:)))))))

yea. 

that really made my night. i forgotten about all the unhappy jostling and pushing before the show started. i melted yet again. 

Last mention for the night is for Little Boots a UK Youtuber who is now a singer!

I actually felt quite bad for her cause her performance was after Ryan's and was the last act of the day. It was really late then, the show over runed by 1 and a half hour, not that i'm complaining! hehe. 

She is pretty decent and i felt it was, pretty sad and maybe rude in my opinion that everyone just left, almost half the people there!I mean if i were her my confidence would have taken a blow, but don't worry gal. You are good. :) Huixian likes you! heh. 

wanted to end the night with a photo of the second night's ticket and people but realised...the photos are not with me!! gah. 

so i shall end with the first nights instead. till i get the pics from them! heh. :)

I realised it's fun when the people you go with have the same interest in the event as you! 

Super thankful to everyone who made the two nights super awesome!

^-^

...

And then here are a slew of instagram and tweets from the youtubers which just made me awww...and have lotsa fun sharing with @poisonpoppyz. We were like going wes..aww..david..aww..ryan...aww...and lotsa fun stuff. :D no we are not crazy over obsessed fan girls. we appreciate good talent. heh. :P

this was the latest one. and seems like they really enjoyed themselves here and the company and new friends they made. 

I can actually totally relate to their feelings, it is probably akin to the time i just came back from the states. :)

it just makes them seem more real more human. :)

aww moment. 

ok this was the start of the frenzy. the slew of tweets from wes. (x.x no i am not an obsessed fangirl :X)

 made me really happy. 

 say aww. 

 this was his insta to tell the world he had landed in SG. 

*wavesssssss!!! hello!!!*

haha. i loved the caption here. 

And his friend tweeted this:

i know right. 

haha. #truestory moment. 

Ok that's my recap of the two night of YTFF 20th and 21st May 2013 at Ritz Carlton. 

Maybe when i come back to read my post next year i'll feel the same things again. 

These stars have totally fueled me to remind myself that do things because you like it, it might not get you famous or rich. Hell, you might not even get any recognition for it, but do it anyway because you like it. 

Stay humble stay passionate. Stay true to yourself. 

i'll write even if no one reads, i'll shoot (pictures) even if no one sees them.

Thank you for reminding me these. 

:)

You guys rock!

and to me you guys are superstars in your very own right. 

\m/

i listen to songs without hearing the lyrics.

You know there are some kind of people who listen to songs by catching their lyrics first then the melody? Me? I'm the sort which hears the melody and very little of the lyrics. I'm sure there are pretty many like me, because the brain processes melodies more easily? Ok, i don't know about that for sure. 

Even though my favourite musicians for example like ashin (yes beloved. i must emphasize. lol) writes one of the best lyrics ever (no i am speaking truthfully here, because he writes it so simply and straight to your heart) what catches me first is always the melody. Only from there will i bother to pay attention to the lyrics. 

Lyrics to me are like homework, unless they are really simple i would never be able to sing a full song's lyric's through memory (well, unless i do my homework) haha...Imagine singing a jay chou song remembering that in full! I do admit that when i understand Jay chou's song lyrics they are really poetic and all, but hey, my mandarin is just mediocre, so for me his song's lyrics are meh. (If you don't speak so that everyone understand you, it will just be a very pretty vase. Well with no offense, that is only what i think.)

So anyway! i was hearing this super old song in the grocer earlier on and used shazam to recognise it. Thank god for good apps! hehe. I thought the title was pretty creepy at first but it was really catchy. See catchy tune always wins half the battle!

Googled it and it feels darkly romantic. It's pretty simple to understand, of course the part about Catholics and Romans, i don't really get that, but apart from that i guess most can relate...

I'll leave you with the song below, who will you want to walk with you into the dark?

i'll follow you into the dark - Death Cab for Cutie

Love of mine, some day you will dieBut I'll be close behindI'll follow you into the dark

No blinding light or tunnels to gates of whiteJust our hands clasped so tightWaiting for the hint of a spark

If Heaven and Hell decideThat they both are satisfiedIlluminate the no's on their vacancy signs

If there's no one beside youWhen your soul embarksThen I'll follow you into the dark

In Catholic school as vicious as Roman ruleI got my knuckles bruised by a lady in blackAnd I held my tongue as she told me"Son fear is the heart of love"So I never went back

If Heaven and Hell decideThat they both are satisfiedIlluminate the no's on their vacancy signs

If there's no one beside youWhen your soul embarksThen I'll follow you into the dark

You and me have seen everything to seeFrom Bangkok to CalgaryAnd the soles of your shoesAre all worn down

The time for sleep is nowIt's nothing to cry about'Cause we'll hold each other soonIn the blackest of rooms

If Heaven and Hell decideThat they both are satisfiedIlluminate the no's on their vacancy signs
If there's no one beside youWhen your soul embarksThen I'll follow you into the darkThen I'll follow you into the dark...
i'll end of with this. word.life, is really, too short to be anything but happy. 
so go jump around along daisies (act yi ge romantic, there's no daisies locally. lol) and be a nice human.
:)

perspective and critiques

Very often we are our own worst critiques. Most of us are pretty critical of ourselves, whether in weight, looks etc. I feel this is pretty much the fault of people who want to sell their products thus they make us believe that we are not good enough and never will be and shouldn't be. Cause why else would we need their products right? Media, is playing a good part in helping this evil.

In all fairness, of course media is good for many other things, but with a yin there's a yang. 8/10 women easily can tell you straight out at least 3 things they would like to change about themselves. Change don't get me wrong is not a bad thing, it's just that in this day and age we never feel that it's enough. We never feel pretty and good enough.

I wanna be thinner, taller, more muscular, bigger eyes, longer eyelashes....and the list can go on for light years if you let it. Let's face it, even though we know (think) we have stuff we can improve on, we aren't all that bad altogether right?

We never realise how different we are from what we think we are, i particularly like this campaign done by Dove, the messaging was pretty simple and not for sales or at least not in your face. It was more to let women know, we are mostly prettier than what we credit ourselves for.

Watch this feel good campaign here:



Honestly, even though I recognise faces, i would be pretty bad at describing them. I bet I wouldn't even be able to describe myself properly. And why I believe this campaign is true is because sometimes when i hear my girl friends complaining about their problems I look at them and think to myself, no freaking way. You look so good, and whatever you were complaining about, i honestly don't see it. My pals are always beautiful to me. And this is in all honesty...not necessarily i mean like super model hot or sorts, but there is this one thing in each person which will glow. Their human spirit.People i make friends with, are good people and good people shine right? That's the glow i'm talking about.

When you look into the mirror and feel good, don't put yourself down. Embrace it :) I'm not calling for narcissism though! ;P

Love youself more. You don't give your original self enough credit. :)

you start and end with the thing you loved in the first place.

found this the other day online and thought yea...this is pretty true. Sometimes we get so lost in chasing and wanting to 'get better and bigger' we kinda get lost in the whole rat race.

Sometimes it's not that important to be 'that important' yes, it's good to always seek improvement but we must always remember what we love and stick close to it while being ourselves. If you get lost, go back to the basics, remember why you held on in the first place. All outer obstacles are secondary, if they stand in your way travel back to just do what you love, grit your teeth, you can pull through somehow. :)

Learn Korean in 15 mins

found this on 9gag and thought that it's so useful to share!

Hang in there!

You'll see the shining ray soon

Analysing blood types.

I love to read all this kind of analysing personality kinda stuff. Some people call it rubbish, some call it faith, some hold on to it like the bible. For me? I just read it for fun and take it with a pinch of salt....Well it may be true to a certain extend, but people are moulded by many other things too right? ;)

So just read for fun! No matter how true it sounds...it's not the bible or scriptures. ;))

Ps. i realised the pic is abit small to read, click on it to make it bigger for viewing. :)

mine is o!

but i think i don't like to lead...im the sort which will take up the job if no one is there to handle it...

because too many chef cooks will also spoil the broth!

heh. :P

credits to JY's old blog..(she moved without telling me!! *gasp!*) 

jy! how could youu...i'm your avid reader. :((( *ok go feel guilty now. LOLs :PP

worst nemesis

I was reading Nuffnang's Blog just earlier on and came across this post.

It said:

"Hands up if you are…

Traumatized by acne problems?
Struggling with annoying whiteheads & blackheads?
Blotting your oily skin 24/7?"

Wahwahwah! They are talking to me man! Yea. *Que 2pm song* Put your hands up put your hands up! lols. so excited. -_- Not exactly talking about a happy incident here -____-. In fact it was one of the most traumatising period in my life. It was so bad that I really didn't dare to step out of the house for months to come as it grew worst, if you have never suffered the same fate before, YOU CAN NEVER UNDERSTAND.

my sentiments exactly!

Back then i tried tons of creams, facial and juice and what say you not kind of rubbish.

one scary one is from a good guy friend who swore by this method:
Using toothpaste to put on top of your pimple. 

he swears by it. 

being very trusting. #win. (but not a #win in this case ? )

I got a 'chao ta' face.
Well, too many pimples all over so I had to put so much and my face being sensitive got red and sensitive and 'burnt'. 

:(((

sad case max. 

after that. 

i just left everything alone. 

by miracle i can go out to see sunlight now. 

i suggest you see doctor. don't anyhow anyhow lah hor. 

or in accordance with the blog post i was reading earlier, i'll share with you...

they are having a giveaway!

so since you are desperate for a solution (how i know? been there. done that)

why not give it a try? 

:)

Kimuchi Chahan

 Also known as Kimchi Fried Rice!:))) (that's the japanese version of it) I'm not a big fan of kimchi unless it's cooked, in soups or fried rice...because I think i don't really like the fermented smell of garlic if they do have it in the kimchi. (Do you know? different families each have their own version of Kimchi making recipes. No two recipes are the same, so even though its just kimchi, they can taste very different. And Kimchi we eat locally are usually the one made with the chinese cabbage, but actually kimchi have SO MANY DIFFERENT KINDS. why the caps? because its really alot but i have no idea how many actually too, i know it is enough to fill my whole dining table. I haven't tried many types of kimchi before, but my favourite up till now, has to be the cucumber kimchiii!:D yumms! but too bad, it is pretty rarely found here....

And soo, let me get back to my fried rice.

Not bad right?

Looks can be deceiving, but hey! mine definitely looks the look and taste the taste. 

muahahah. :P

i secretly believe that it tasted better than the fried rice i bought the next day from the coffee shop down stairs. *smug* haha.

ok lah, i admit, its pretty easy. I'm no top chef, i can only cook food edible to me, maybe if someone else ate it they would think otherwise. 

hahahaha.

and i have a weird habit, i only know how to cook in kitchens i'm familiar with, put me in someone else's kitchen, disaster will happen. haha.

 to be vaguely authentic i used korean spoon and chopsticks given by mom's friends as a souvenir and specially drank korean tea instead of the usual japanese green tea i drink. 

Haha. the things i do when no one's around. haha...all in the name of 有趣

ok. I'm not trying to bore you out with my multiple pics of my kimuchi chahan. lols

just in case you might be interested in how to cook this very simple dish when your home alone like me....Here are the super simple steps!

Ingredients needed:

(well the amount depends on yourself, i just do it by 'agaration')

Cooked rice (left overnight, if not just cook some rice in the pot)

Mince meat

Cooking oil

Garlic (2 cloves)

Kimchi (well of course right?;))

Dark Soy Sauce

Salt

Chicken Essence Powder (this is my secret ingredient to make sure my food taste good. lols)

 

 if you want a little something more. Add an egg!:)

Step 0.1 (i forgot, so it became this number. lol)

Take the kimchi out of the package and cut it to smaller bite size bits

Step 1.

Heat the oil and fry the garlic, make sure the garlic turns golden brown (not black! control your fire, not too high!)

Step 2.

Throw in the mince meat to fry with the garlic

Step 3. 

Throw in the rice, fry together. 

Step 4. 

Throw in the kimchi you have cut up nicely, take some of the kimchi sauce and add in too, to get the flavour and colour.

Step 5.

Add some dark soy sauce (just so that the coulour of the fried rice looks nicer)

Step 6. 

Add in the chicken essence powder, usually i just give the bottle two shakes. Stir. 

Step 7. 

Add salt as to liking. 

Step 8.

If you want to add an egg. You can just push the rice to the side and fry the egg in the same wok, i'm lazy i don't wanna wash so many things. Or you can fry the egg into the rice or you can fry it in a seperate wok, all to your liking.

hahaha...:p and that is how i cook my kimuchi chahan. Simple right?!:D

anything too difficult also i can't lah huh...so this is good enough if your hungry and alone for the night. 

the best thing is you can keep the unused kimchi for some time and cook this dish again when you feel like it!:))

so apart from pasta (the only other decent dish i can cook. lols) this is a good alternative!

Give it a try!;DD

ehehe...hope you'll like it!

Enjoyyyy!
