KoRe@N FooD

Today, we went for Korean Food in Qlap. It was my first time there and kind of like my first time tasting Korean food. All this while, I always take Japanese sushi but it's good to have a change of taste once in a while. The food was very tasty and not so spicy. Took some pictures as well. Little Kayden enjoyed himself so much - we were the only customers as now is the fasting month.

Rice with mixed vegetables cooked on stone

stove

Seafood with seaweed pancake

and bean stew soup (not spicy)

Beef (supposed to be wrapped with lettuce and some spices

or seasoning paste)

Busy, bUsY, BUSY!!!

Two weeks have passed and assignments start pouring in. This is kind of good as it keeps my mind stimulated. God knows it has been ages since I last did my assignment...

Clasees have been fun so far especially Korean lesson. There are still lots to remember - I always confuse myself with the sounds but I know one day I will know it by heart.

Though busy, I still have time to go in to Facebook, haha... Oh ya, last night, Kayden has learned to use the toilet. It was actually very funny though. I had to use his toy duck to show him how. It was a fun experience... ;D

LE-1501 starts today. My lecturer is Mrs. Brown, who is a Filipino but married to orang putih. She's very friendly and humorous. I volunteered myself to be one of the group discussion leader today - discuss about ground rules. It was fun...

On my way back home for lunch, smokes can be seen almost everywhere. Because of the haze and the terrible weather, it causes forest fires. Fire engines are found at different locations and water puddles everywhere.

Korean class was very exciting. There's a lot of tongue twisting and pronounciation, making it fun. The lecturer even joked with us. I always thought that it would be easy to learn but it seems so difficult now, especially if you don't recognise the korean alphabet (Hangul)... However, I will try my best to master and memorize these letters.

Because of the H1N1 going on, we rarely take Kayden out for shopping. Though the number has lessened, the environment is still not safe as lately, the sky has become very foggy and the weather is very hot. The main cause of it is...

HAZE! HAZE! HAZE!

The picture on the left shows our underground tunnel in Qlap. See how thick the fog is....

Even in the house, we can see and feel it. This month is not a good time for outing or anything. The safest place to be is at home.

Korean class was fun yet. We learned ' hello ' and ' goodbye '. Though both are simple words to learn but the way to pronounce is different. The lecturer told us the way we pronounced them is wrong. She even made a joke. She told us not to make a mistake when calling her as she had a student called her 'sensei' before instead of 'son seng nim'. 'Sensei' is Japanese for teacher whereas 'son seng nim' is Korean for teacher. Everyone laughed out loud.

This morning class was quite enjoyable. Initially we had only four students and we can't have a class if there are less than 5 students. Luckily, in the end, we ended up with 7 students so we could go on with our course, else we have to recruit students to join us.

Today is a brand new start for me. It's the first day of University life once more. My class starts at 8am so I woke up early to prepare myself. Actually I did not get much sleep as Kayden slept quite late last night (around 2.30am). To prevent myself from getting stuck in a jam or lack of parking space, I left home around 7.30am. Luckily when I got there, there were many spaces available and I got a good parking spot.

So I walked over to the building, saw many coursemates' chatting around there and looked for my class. Make some friends today as well. However, class was cancelled as the lecturer is not in yet. Even though, I was looking forward to my afternoon class, which is Elementary Korean. Been wanting to learn to speak at least one foreign language, and Korean seems like a good choice.
