I Like John Cho

No! No! No!

In case anybody was wondering, he was the guy who played Harold in H&K. I’m not coming out of the closet and declaring my love for some guy I went to school with or met on a dating website.

But it’s the like, like; like I enjoy his presence like.

Anyways, I think he is one of the few Koreans (ethnically-speaking) whom I have no negative emotions attached to. In case anybody was wondering again, I hate all the Korean lecturers who taught me in my 4 years in NUS. 1 had curly hair (and he happened to be some-Cho too) and both couldn’t speak English as well as the PRCs.

So I guess the 1st thing about JC that puts him away from other Koreans I knew is that I was astonished there were Koreans who speak good English with no awkward accents.

Racist, I know.

Whatever.

That was not the main point.

After pondering for a few days, I realized what it was about him that made me feel he’s like-able: He looks like Wallace Chung!!

muahaha!

Wallace Chung was my idol in sec school days. I even had ALL his albums. But these years, he went to China and after making it big there, never bothered to say Hi to the rest of the Chinese pop scene.

Oh well…

And with Sammi devoting her life to God, I don’t really have anyone to look forward to.

Oh, back to the topic.

I went to search for some pictures to prove my point.

1st, they wore similar clothes with a similar hairstyle.

Oh, I realize they don’t really look alike in this pic. But I made an effort to stitch them together, so don’t waste.

Aniwaes, I also looked through one of Wallace’s really ANCIENT MVs and captured one pic:

which I think looked like John in this:

Sorry for the gal who appeared here, obviously I stole the pic from her website. The focus is on JC, k? haha…

Anyways, Wallace also had some paperboy-cap image, cos he had been filming all those Qing Dynasty shows that required him to shave his hair.

I think I made my point lah, they do really look alike.

And another thing about them, which also made me feel very irritated, was the fact that both of them are well into their thirties, but they look YOUNGER THAN ME.

arggghhhh…

Wallace is 34, if I’m not wrong, while JC is 36 (same as sammi!!) and with a kid.

sobz!

wo lian yi ge sheng guo hai zi de uncle dou bu ru…

Anyways, I think I blurred the focus of this post with the Wallace-John Cho comparison thingy. Apparently, Wallace is a bigger thing in the entertainment industry, cos he had TONNES of photos on the net. hahah… Don’t play play. We are talking about 1.4 billion consumers in China leh…

For those interested, JC acted in Ugly Betty Season 2 as Henry’s irritating accountant colleague. Somehow I have the feeling that the role was created just so JC could be in it, cos he was getting those special cameos and his lines just stood out (as plain irritating). And he looked so natural, I wonder if he was like that in real life (ya… he was more ‘real’ in UB2 than in H&K).

He also acted in House!! muahaha! Never realized until I went back to see the episode. He was spotting the typical Korean bushy hairstyle, as a character whom everyone assumed was scared into stroke by House.

As an Asian American, his roles in the mainstream films were restricted to Passerbys-with-names. Perhaps he should really consider coming to Asia itself to develop his acting career. Somehow, I think Asians are better off making it big in Asia than go Hollywood. Just thinking.

I think I wrote a lot already. Not quite relevant, but point’s made.

Though I like H&K, I doubt I will declare I like Kal Penn. muahaha! You guys should know why…

K N S…

I thought I would be the only guy, at least in EE batch, who would go into an exam hall without knowing that cheat sheet was available.

Now, I think I AM the only one in the whole school who has it happened to me twice in my life in NUS.

It’s the ‘I am wrong to miss the last lecture’ vs ‘He is wrong to not disseminate such information through common means’ debate.

People who had the cheat sheets ready would support the 1st, but people like me will scream: Hello? What is the Announcement in IVLE and nus mail for?

I forgive the lecturer this time, cos he’s a Korean. Koreans don’t learn about Confucius, who said that a teacher has to be fair to all his students.

Whatever.

It’s over, and I think I can pass the module, although throughout the paper bad thoughts kept crossing my mind.

It wasn’t as though a help sheet would help that much. The only question that I guess would do a lot to help was the 1st question of derivation. For the others, well, I was just weak at Fourier and probabilities.

Been receiving lots of unwarranted calls lately.

If it was not because I was waiting for calls from potential employers, I would not have made myself pick up calls from unverified sources. End up all those insurance agents kept bugging me.

haiz…

I’m not a stick-in-the-mud 60-year-old uncle who thinks insurance is useless, so I will get myself a cover when I know I CAN AFFORD ONE.

It’s irritating when I told them that I am just a student with no income that they kept insisting I buy something.

‘You can work part-time.’

If part-time money can afford to buy me an insurance, who needs a degree?

Anyway, I’m pissed with them cos they always call me like when I wanted to catch some lost sleep or something, making me think some company is replying my resume. I know their job is tough, but my life sucks. I don’t need anybody to remind me that.

Whatever.

Wanted to blog about something else. Something more fun. But putting it here in an entry named ‘KNS’ doesn’t seem to justify it.

Oh well…
