Spring Festival 2009.

I'm Yours- Jason Mraz

A little about SNU

Seoul National University...


2009 Entrance ceremony

The reason why I'm standing in this weird position is because there were too many students and no place to sit. So, we, Malaysians found ourselves in this spot. :)

Building 925, Room 111

This my room.

future..

Its 12.45am, my sleeping time. 4 more days, I will be sitting for an exam that will determine part of my future. It seems like I have so many exams that will determine my future. Which one really does actually? Haha. SPM? STPM? KLPT? TEPS?

It has been 6 months since I am away from home. The good thing about this is that, I will be going back in another 6 months! My buddies wait for me! (Hey I mean, wait for me and not souvenirs :p).

I think the real examination that determines my future is this one:
The life I am living right now.

The “everyday” I am living. What I think and what I do. Where I’ve decided to go today will determine where I will end up in later. I am in the right track, ready to slam on the accelerator! Hang on my future, I am so-coming! God, I need Your help.

Korean level 4 is tough. There are tons of words that I have to save in my brains and honestly I’m forgetting a lot of them too. Hehe.

Well, keep me in prayers and wish me luck :) Happy new year!!

autumn in S.Korea

Little did I know about the weather in Korea and now it is officially autumn/ fall. I usually walk to class and that long walk takes 15 minutes every day. I am obviously not prepared for the change, having only a cardigan is not good enough. I was freezing for 15 minutes on the way to class and another 15 minutes back from class today.
I learned that fall is a depressing season from a professor. He said that many people in Korea commit suicide during this season.

“Fall” he said “is depressing because all the leaves fall and it makes people lonely. A person’s spirit fall as well.”

Somewhat interesting, isn’t it?

Mountain of God

This song reminds me that I am never alone. Life has never been easy, but He is always there, today tomorrow and forever. :-)

by Third Day - Mountain of God.

Thought that I was all alone
Broken and afraid
But You were there with me
Yes, You were there with me

And I didn't even know
That I had lost my way
But You were there with me
Yes, You were there with me

'Til You opened up my eyes
I never knew
That I couldn't ever make it
Without You

Even though the journey's long
And I know the road is hard
Well, the One who's gone before me
He will help me carry on
After all that I've been through
Now I realize the truth
That I must go through the valley
To stand upon the mountain of God

As I travel on the road
That You have lead me down
You are here with me
Yes, You are here with me
I have need for nothing more
Oh, now that I have found
That You are here with me
Yes, You are here with me

I confess from time to time
I lose my way
But You are always there
To bring me back again

Sometimes I think of where it is I've come from
And the things I've left behind
But of all I've had, what I possessed
Nothing can quite compare
With what's in front of me
With what's in front of me

too much eating and not so much exercise = FAT

....and that is what i am now.

I went to Dongdaemon, Seoul yesterday to do some shopping.

1. Replacement of my thorn sandal during rafting.

2. Bought myself a new pair of shoes. Getting ready for the fall season because I cant possibly be walking around with sandals and also another pair of "normal" high heels.

3. A special pair of earrings i found. :)

4. Last but not least, something that enchances my cute-ness (sorry for being, ehem, self praising,LOL) and eating..ArGh..

Woohho00... time really flies.

My departure

25th June 2008 -- the day i left home for Korea. This picture is still fresh in my mind, it was 6.35am. I was supposed to book an evening flight, but because of my ignorance or a foolish mistake, i booked it 7am instead of 7pm.

Thanks to all my family members and friends for tolerating my mistake and sending me off at such time. I was really touched, but refused to cry because if I do, everyone will!

Departure lounge is a sad place. I still remember embracing my mum and hear her sobbing. Secretly, i really want to cry! XD

It's been more than a month now here in Korea. Praise the Lord, I have already adapt with most of the things here. I have to admit that Korean Language was not as easy as i thought it was. Struggled, strived really hard for the first couple of weeks. Eventually, improved. (clap hands-la!!)

It is summer now, not much changes in the weather to adapt. Felt just like Malaysia!

I long for home, counting my days till I can go home again. (cryinnggggg... :) ) hehe
