A text from a friend came in and it went like this “Would you like to go with me and watch a Korean film”… “SURE, why not?!” Not knowing that there was such events held in Singapore, I did a quick search about Korean Film Festival and I’m surprised that this is already a 2nd year running and I’m glad to be part of it this year, all thanks to Michelle!! We’re going to watch Architecture 101, so see YOU if I do!
