卓義峰靠電話疲勞轟炸，讓韋禮安從原本的抗拒在鏡頭前演出、自覺演技不佳、而且自認「不是藝人」，到最後甘願從台中搭著早班火車上台北實踐大學當男主角，全靠卓義峰的「坳」功了得，每天都趁著錄影空檔打電話遊說、晚上回家還來個「談心時間」搏感情，終於說動韋禮安點頭，清早五點就從台中出門的韋禮安一到拍攝現場就肚子痛、頭痛，忍不住苦笑抱怨：「早知道拍 MV 那麼辛苦，就不要答應。」
韋禮安抵達現場還沒開拍，就先跟卓義峰及前來探班的鄭博夫閒聊，首次參與綜藝節目錄影外的演出活動，讓韋禮安相當緊張不知導演會如何安排，鄭博夫還惡整韋禮安表示：「因為這首歌叫做『愛情乞丐』，所以等等你要戴著乞丐頭假髮，而且會被路人圍毆，最後倒在路邊當乞丐……」當場把韋禮安唬得一愣一愣直呼上當。
「愛情乞丐」MV 劇情描述韋禮安一路狂奔，還得推倒路人、踢翻垃圾桶、仰天怒吼，導演陳勇秀要他上戲前培養情緒，只見韋禮安漲紅著臉對著工作人員怒吼「這不是肯 X 雞」、「今天車費快給我付來」、「卓義峰你一定要請我吃牛排」…….當場笑翻眾人。
為了「慰勞」韋禮安的辛苦，導演特別加戲，讓他在 MV 尾聲跟女主角來個深情擁抱，兩人雖然鏡頭前相擁一次 OK，韋禮安卻手足無措臉部僵硬，卓義峰還在攝影機後吃吃竊笑，事後忍不住猛虧：「既然有這麼好的福利，牛排只請一客就好吧。」
卓義峰、韋禮安藉由「愛情乞丐」展現交情，休息時也瘋狂搞笑，一掃韋禮安節目上憂鬱小生的形象，休息時攝影師要拍兩人合照，拼命要兩人裝帥，韋禮安卻回答：「我們兩一點都不帥，也不會裝，只會耍寶。」還擺了許多自 HIGH 動作，韋禮安獲悉愛吐舌頭的卓義峰被下「禁吐令」，硬是狂伸舌頭調侃好友：「我沒發片當歌手，所以可以盡量吐。」
兩人有別於螢幕上的木訥文靜，還在片場互相取笑：「這可能是史上花最多錢修片的MV，因為我們兩人的臉皮膚都不好，應該取名叫做『逃離月球表面』或是『太空漫遊』，真是辛苦導演了。」
在「愛情乞丐」MV 中韋禮安展現演技完全豁出去，私下卻是飽受肚子痛、頭痛之苦，加上一幕飛踢垃圾桶的畫面，在導演要求下踢了十幾次，事後苦笑說：「拍這支 MV 從頭痛到腳，還要早起來台北，拍完又要趕車回家，當藝人真的很辛苦……」
而韋禮安的友情站台最後贏得卓義峰的「一客牛排」、女主角的「深情擁抱」，讓卓義峰表示：「真的是友情無價，而且之後每次唱 KTV 都會點這首歌……..每次都要好好笑他一番。」讓韋禮安當場傻眼。
It's Teachers' Day in Singapore. So Happy Teachers' Day! That's for myself ^^ I received a gift from this new student who has only been with me for like 2 months? At least he bothers... I do miss my twin students so much. As compared to other students whom I have taught, they are the livest bunch!
In Korea, Teachers' Day is celebrated on 15 May and on the celebration day, teachers are usually presented with carnations by their students. Nice!
We had an hour social activity in school this evening, learning how to make 송편 (Songpyeon). 송편 are crescent-shaped rice cakes, stuffed with sesame seeds, chestnut paste or beans. 송편 are usually eaten during 추석, Harvest Moon Festival, which is on the 15th day of the eighth lunar month (usually end September or early October).
추석 is a time to give thanks for autumn harvest. During this festival, In the morning, Koreans will don new clothes and begin the day with rites honouring their ancestors. Offerings are made of newly harvested foods. After then, families will visit the graves of their ancestors to bow and clean the area for the coming winter.
I tried a piece of 송편. It's sweet and chewy... 선생님 told us that her mother used to tell her that if she's able to make pretty 송편 every year, she would be able to find a dashing husband. Apparently that's not true! Mothers...
I have finally finished watching 55 episodes of 서동요!
I do not understand why it has to be a sad ending. Perhaps it leaves a lasting impression than a happy one.
I simply adore the ending theme of 서동요 OST, 해밀 sang by 포지션.
Hope you will enjoy this song as much as me.
아련한 기억속에서 그리움 다시 돌아보네요
세월의 흔적 속에 고이 멈춰 있기 때문이죠
추억의 조각 속에서 언제나 곁에 내가 있어요
간절한 소망들이 이뤄져 가는걸 느끼나요
믿고있나요 우리의 사랑을
잊지는 마요 다시 만날수 있어요
스쳐지나는 바람 그 하나까지
귓가에 간직해요 보이나요 들리나요
내 가슴이 소리내 우는 걸 기억해요
내 아름다운 그대여 그렇게 살아요
~ ♪
믿고 있나요 우리의 사랑을
잊지는 마요 다시 만날수 있어요
스쳐지나는 환함 그 하나까지
귓가에 간직해요 보이나요 들리나요
내 가슴이 소리내 우는걸
기억해요 내 아름다운 그대도
그렇게 살아요
보이나요 들리나요 내 가슴이 소리내 우는걸
기억해요 내 아름다운 그대도
그렇게 살아요 그렇게 살아요

在台灣, 今天8月8日是父親節!
「88」和父親取諧音的關係，而且「八八」两個字相連起來就好像「父」字, 所以父親節特別訂於8月8號。
民國34年(1945年)的8月8日, 中國對日抗戰達到百熱化, 上海一部份愛國人是看到日本人猖獗狂妄、 環境惡劣, 為了激勵全國同胞奮發圖強、團結力量，以期早日消滅日本人。於是，發起「父親節」來頌揚紀念在戰場上為國捐軀的父親們及英勇的戰士。
抗戰勝利後，黨國元老、上海各界名流如吳稚暉、李石曾、潘公展、杜月笙等人，覺得訂定父親節很有意義，有特別加以提倡的必要，就聯名呈請政府准予規定每年8月8日為父親節，通令全國遵行。後來呈請獲准，8月8日就正式成為的父親節。
不過, 並不是每個國家都和台灣一樣在8月8日慶祝88節的...
奧地利: 6月的第二個星期日
澳大利亞和紐西蘭: 9月的第一個星期日
比利時: 3月19日; 也稱為聖喬瑟夫日，另外6月的第3個星期日也是父親節

泰國：12月5日。因為是普密蓬·阿杜德國王的生日
I'm feeling so tired these days.
Sometimes I do regret having 7 students and having my weekend packed with tuitions...
With twice a week Korean classes and lots of homework, I can't seem to stay up after 12 midnight every day.
I recently signed up for the Beginner Level of TOPIK, Test of Proficiency in Korean. 
Since I have been learning the language for over 2 years, it's about time to see how much I have absorbed. The test date is on 16 September which means more stress for me!!! Hopefully I can manage it well together with my students' prelims ^^
