Got this article from soshified:
SNSD to teach the 'Gee' dance to Harvard Law School students




Girl group SNSD will be teaching their 'Gee' dance to Ivy League Harvard Law School students.

SNSD will be meeting Harvard Law School students in their SM Entertainment practice room on the coming 26th. Their meeting was requested by Harvard Law School, who will be visiting Korea on the 23rd.

An Harvard Law School official said to Star News during their international phone call, "We have planned to have an event where we learn from SNSD their 'Gee' dance" and "Kim Jaedong will be MC-ing for the show." Law School students will be meeting with government officials and participate in other various activities before starting to explore Korean culture.

It is very unusual that Harvard Law School students are meeting with SNSD. It means that Harvard Law School knew that SNSD was at the top in influencing Korean culture with 'Gee.'

SM Entertainment has had CEO Lee Sooman do lectures about the "Korean Wave" for three years straight to Harvard MBA students, but it is their first time to be affliated with Law School students.

I have to say this sounds interesting. They're so lucky that they're gonna get to dance the Gee dance steps with the girls. I just hope they won't get touchy while doing it, especially with Fany!
And the MC is Kim Jae Dong!! He's a very funny guy!

Today, for the first time ever i went to a Korean restaurant. I shared the ride there with Qilah cuz Qilah didn't know where the place is and want me to show her where it is. I don't know where the place is either but Bilah gave me the address. Here's what she texted me: 'Addressnya d gadong sbaris dgn nokia showroom. Its upstairs. Know escapade gadong, blakang building atu.'.


That sounds easy. Well, we did get to reach the nokia showroom but when we were searching which stairs leads to Pines Restaurant, we don't know which cuz there were no board signs of Pines Restaurant at any of the stairs. We stood outside the Nokia showroom like statues.

And then YGP texted me: 'Yo my dad tnya wer is the restaurnt. I duno hw to explain. Cn u describe..? =)'. Actually, YGP had arrived earlier at the Gadong area but she doesn't know where the place is so she went to other places there first.

And this is my reply: 'Mcm bnr kmi maseh thn2 arh nokia showroom ah. Kesini ko eh'

After that Qilah told me to text Bilah and ask her where the restaurant is. And her reply was: 'Tunggu sja kjp..I'm still stuck ni. Traffic jam.'

Then Khalish came walking towards us, we were relieved cuz we know that he knows where the restaurant is. Now, all we have to do is wait for the other three girls, YGP; Bilah and Saffa. Suddenly my handphone rang, it was YGP calling me.
"Mana kan Pines restaurant ane?" she asked me.
"Dapan Jaya Hypermart wah" came my reply.
"Aku disana udah kaliah"
"Ah??" i looked around for her. But i didn't see her anywhere. I think she was at the front of the Jaya Hypermart building while we were at the building in front of the Jaya Hypermart building.

I spotted the 'Lee Clinic' sign board and told her that we were at the building behind it. But she doesn't know where Lee Clinic is. I handed my handphone to Qilah so she could tell YGP where it is. While Qilah was in the middle of having a phone conversation with YGP, a white car passed us by. Khalish pointed to the car and "Tu nah ia". We thought it was YGP, turned out it was Saffa. At least, now we only have to wait for two girls. Then, Bilah arrived. And still no YGP in sight. HAHAHA. 15 minutes passed, finally, YGP arrived.

With Bilah leading the way, we found our way to the Pines Restaurant doorstep. Only by then we know the exact location of the said restaurant. The part where Bilah said it is in the same row as the Nokia showroom is true but at a different building. She should have said Fun Bread Cafe instead of Nokia showroom. And the sign board of the restaurant doesn't say 'Pines Restaurant' but it's in Malay, 'Restoran Pokok Pain'.

When we were just outside of the Pines Restaurant door, Bilah shocked us by saying that it's closed. And we were like "WHAT???"
Then one of the waiters of Pines Restaurant opened the door. The restaurant was not closed. Phew!!

We entered the restaurant and sat ourselves in one of the small rooms(?) with a curtain to cover the front. (i don't know how to describe this).

A waiter came with the menus. We scanned through the menus and it's just hard to choose cuz we wanna try everything. "Drinks first?" the waiter who kinda looked like one of my ex-classmates said. We ordered our drinks first and the waiter left leaving us to choose what we wanna eat.
We were making a lot of noise while discussing the food whe wanna order especially Saffa and I.
I was searching for kimbap in the menu but it was nowhere in it.
So i kept asking Bilah where it is. And Saffa kept saying she wants the Kimchi Bokumbap. While Bilah kept recommending the bibimbap and others. So basically, the word 'bap' just kept repeating.

"Mana Kimbap ah?"
"Aku mau Kimchi bokumbap."
"Kamu mau bibimbap?"
"Mna Kimbap?"
"Kamu mau chap chae? Kamu mau bibimbap?"

We were still deciding which food we wanna order but we rang the bell to call the waiter anyway. We ordered a lot of dishes and most of the names of the dishes has the word 'Kimchi' in it. Everybody knows kimchi is like the signature Korean food.

We had the chance to have Korean style grilled beef, lettuce wraps, Kimchi and ramyun. It was exciting for us K-pop fans or K-freaks like how Bilah would say and Khalish who is only a half K-freak.

I'll post the pictures tomorrow. it's already late.
