Writing down my journey..

Coming to an end of october, a month of fun and stress. I played and then exams these 2 weeks. Its like a marathon run after another. The last exam i had was barely 2 months ago. Well, but i had some fun. I was at jeju island for 4 days. I climbed the highest mountain, visited some tourist attractions like teddy bear museum and loveland. Also, met a huge star - kim hyun joong. Had an experience in a public bathroom (JimJilBang), where everybody go naked and bathe together in a big room with saunas inside. Something that i find it real disgusting that people share the same old towel without washing it to clean their body. Like a special tower to scrub one's body. But people at there share that, the moment was mesmerising. What a public bathroom, i am sorry if anyone has been there before too. I also stayed there overnight as they have a storey for people to sleep over on a thin mat, probably 1cm thick at most. Luckily, i stayed over in a motel one of those days there. Though they di...

A job found in korea, i am an english teacher now! Giving a 1 to 1 lesson with a staff working in the university i am studying at, i am happy with the pay :) However, with good pay, it comes with stress, its my first time being an english teacher and i have got a tough challenge here - I have a 55year old student who holds the position of secretary at hannam university. There is gonna a balance between respect and correcting. Bu Rong Yi! This week, i have been having a marathon with topher, which means a beer marathon too. At least 2 bottles per day and had 5 yesterday. God. Mon - Sat. I can feel my belly bouncing around. I hope i can find some motivation to run tml. Getting lazy when i am enjoying my time here.

A little chinese poem from Su Dong Po. Depicting something similar to my heart. 明月几时有？ 把酒问青天。 不知天上宫阙， 今夕是何年。 我欲乘风归去， 又恐琼楼玉宇， 高处不胜寒。 起舞弄清影， 何似在人间！ 转朱阁，低绮户， 照无眠。 不应有恨， 何事长向别时圆？ 人有悲欢离合， 月有阴晴圆缺， 此事古难全。 但愿人长久， 千里共婵娟。 何事长向别时圆 - 好绝的句子. Just a few simple words that all of us can read. But behind these 7 words, lies something meaningful.

A little story of my previous weekend. Out to the town of daejeon and watched a movie there along too. A terrific movie that made me talking about it these 2 days - Eat.Pray.Love. A film by julia roberts, the story is based on an inspiring real book. How troubled a person was, and decided to give its life a breather, its amazing how her life changed along the way by discovering different aspects in life. After watching this movie, it just encourages you to get out and live a story of your own and live a different life that others would not. Cheers, Good movie. I was happy to find a italian restaurant here in daejeon for dinner on that day. It isnt pricey, its about $15 for a plate of seafood risotto. I miss risotto. I also had house wine along with it hahaha. Many koreans were giving me the stare, like as i havent reach to a legal age yet. haha. I have been sticking here for more than a month now and really missing home. Felt that i have had enough here. I may be wrong, i am looking fo...

I only live once, so live it the way i like. Its 1 month in korea and i am enjoying my time here. Enjoying the freedom, especially being someone who is individualistic. Every week without fail, i will have a dinner and beer session with topher, feels like a family with him. I really felt taken care of here. Another job opportunity in korea knocked again today, a staff in hannam university needs someone to practice english with him by speaking for an hour per session. Pays about 35sgd/hr too. I hope this works out. Dont give me another false hope... Regarding the result that i have got for this semester, i am contented with it. It isnt the perfect score. Had 4As, B+ and B. Looks good anw. My overall gpa now should be just nice enough to enter universities. But i have a different option, a little dream that i want to achieve, studying a course of my interest, a subject that i wont be seeing myself sleeping in the class. Unfortunately, if i want to, i would have to travel overseas to acco...

Happiness starts with... one word. one joke. one text. one phone call. one song. one hug. one kiss. and stops in one mistake. Wanna share with my diary.. Figured out that when things goes too smooth, and when it doesnt for a little, it seems somehow bad. But thinking back, life can still go on without it. I believe i am not the only one who feels this way. Here goes the story.. I was being offered a job in korea by one of my soccer mate here. The pay is attractive, he mentioned 30,000 won per hour = $35sgd/hr. The job is to just play with little kids in kindergarten, but the criteria is that i have got to be a foreigner. So i am one, and being a kid lover, i was secretly happy in my heart.. but i gave a cool answer.. "ok cool, this sounds interesting, tell more about it." Today had a coffee session with the actual owner's daughter of the kindergarten, discussed a little on the job.. until the call came from the owner, which is her father. That was the bad thing.. after th...
