E, who's South Korean: The first things they'd ask would be, "What's your name?", and next, "What's your age?"
YC: But that's...does that mean guys in your country don't date noona (a.k.a. older girls)?
E: Well, very few...
YC & me: Ahh...(*both currently fangirling over younger stars-which is not the point, but still)
E: But the thing is, if you're still in your 20s, it's better than being in your 30s (E is in her 30s) EVERY GUY likes 20 something girls. It's so frustrating!
YC: How so?
E: The under-20s, or teenagers, like 20something girls. Guys in their 20s, like 20something girls. Guys in their 30s and above, *still* like 20something girls. So that's why, we should always keep our age a secret once you're no longer 20something.
Me: Uhh, a.k.a. Alan Tam's 'forever 25' thing? I think I'm kinda getting the gist of that.
YC: *guffaws* hahhhhh!!!
E: Who's that?
YC: It's this HK entertainer who once famously proclaimed that he's 'forever 25 years old'. He's 50 now.
me: I guess, we should all revel in whatever remaining years in our 20something lives. Gasp, that's not a lot of that left! Gahhh!!!!
YC: Yeah, before 2012 comes (she just watched the movie)!
A, YC & me: Ahh, and we haven't even got a boyfriend....
YC: That makes it seven of us in this table.

Extreme things
Happen without warning, but with hindsight you’d have seen that the signs were there all along. Anyone can do hindsight, not everyone can have foresight.
Goodbye, halcyon days.

GLOW
We're discussing pretty Korean actresses because my friend mentioned Kim Hee Seon (or someone who has a similar name).
.
me: I think Lee Young Ae is very pretty!
korean friend#1, E: She..she *lost for words to describe* I think she must've a permanent halo machine at the back of her head, just illuminating everything around her. Really.
korean friend#2, H: In fact, yes! I think all the stars do, even the extras who you think look so-so on tv...when you see them in real life, they're really beautiful! It's unbelievable. One day, I was quite pissed getting stuck in traffic, and was mindlessly scanning the road.
me: uh-huh.
H: Then, out of the corner of my eye, I saw a telephone box that's seemingly 'glowing'. Turns out, Jang Dong Gun was filming a scene there. Me and my friends were searching for nearby spotlights...but there were absolutely none! It's crazy. He doesn't look human, more like a sculpture!
E: They all glow. I think that's why they're stars.
.
In another conversation.
.
sis: That's it, Tackey glows even on paper.
me: It's weird, Tackey glows, but not Ryo (although in real life, I'm sure both of them do)
sis: a person who wears lots of black won't glow as much as those who loves gold. u noe, u noe.
me: oh. yah. hahahah.
.
sis: from now on. must think. goal: to glow!
me: must use bb cream. (we cannot use biotherm, which Kaneshiro Takeshi uses, because, well, we simply don't have his base. That much everyone must admit. - sis)
.
This, on top of the 'tackey personality' (since he's a very obvious example) we must nurture too, of course.
