Now, before I start ranting about koreanisation I want to recap briefly what happened today.
Today, I woke up early; 9.30am, not something I would do on a normal day, but yes I woke up early because I..we had something planned today. Something big that required me to wake up early. That 'something' was a treat at the Japan centre restaurant. Who's treating us? Ali a.k.a Reizo. I can finally enjoy the curry soba there without worrying about the payment, god bless you Ali for your generousity *eyes glittering*. After eating we went around Oxford Street and did a little shopping. Afterwards we went back, and I had a short afternoon nap. For dinner, we went to Misato (another Japanese restaurant). Following after, we went back to Brunei Hall.
Now that's done, lets proceed to this Koreanisation issue.
I understand 86% of our youths nowadays are obsessed with Korean bands and singers or something similar. How do I know that? I don't freakin' know, but what I know is this thing will get worse and eventually lead to world doom.
All of you know I am a smart guy. And smart guys think smartly. So I'm gonna be smart. I'm not gonna further criticise this issue before a lynch mob full of DBSK fans start to hunt me down and spam my email inbox. Don't wanna that to happen *shivers*. Nevertheless, I feel I need to help these poor people, therefore as a small effort (small enough to avoid Big Bang fans from killing me) to treat this matter I've created the 'Are you koreanised?' test, included with prescriptions to reduce the effect. Nurun, I advise you to take this test.
ARE YOU KOREANISED? TEST
This test consists of questions with multiple choice answers. However, you can only choose one. The answers A, B, C and D each have points allocated to each of them; 4, 3, 2 and 1 respectively. The sum of all the points you accumulated as you answer each question will show you which koreanisation level you are in. E.g. If you answer A in question 1 and B in question 2 that means you have a total of 7 points. This test doesn't work for koreans.
