Have been away for ONE month~

~

i've been in Korea for a month!!! the longest time I'm in another country :) still loving it~

time is running out already!!!there are still many other things to do!! doesn't wish to go back where school starts almost immediately. reality kicks in and many things needs to be done.

we're trying to make full use of the time that we have left here in Korea. Visiting places which we missed out. places which we were always so close to but missed it. there are so much more things to do, more things to buy, more things to eat!! enjoying every minute that is left... :)

6 years ago, i came to Korea on a holiday. the things have not change much. Great to be able to do more shopping and exploring of Seoul~i have never thought that i will want to come back here to stay for sooo long~

enjoying the culture, the shopping, the food and the studying(well a small part of it :))

we are halfway through~

it has already cross the halfway mark! we are halfway through the semester, halfway through the summer program, halfway through the time left in Korea...

well, i'm not suppose to be typing here, but i just don't know what to type for my essay any more!!! i still need a few more hundred words!!! so many more!!!and my points are limited already (left with 1?!)!!!

it has been raining the past few days. its quite disappointing to realise that when you step out, its raining. the mood to shop, the mood to squeeze through the crowd and the mood to walk around just lost. BUT still we had fun!!! going to express bus terminal again (its underground!the rain doesn't affect shopping!). this time, there were lesser people and more shopping to do:) bought some things...we even had a trip to NAMSAN park. Going up Seoul Tower, its good enough. it just makes the whole trip worth it. though it was raining, the view was worth it!!

from there, you can see alot of things. you can see how Seoul actually looks like. high density and close building. everything in your eyes, relaxing and enjoying. it provokes your thoughts! imagine God looking done on earth, everything is so tiny and small. If He can create and care for this vast and big world, what more about His precious creation, US! its amazing~all your worries just goes away...

there is nothing to worry about for He cares for you. :)

Philippians 4:19 "My God shall supply all your needs according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus"

He is more than you can ever imagine~

everything in FULL swing~

its the 2nd week already. more work, more lessons, and the upcoming exams...

Interesting culture Korea has. They hold pride in their language and the things that they have accomplish. a very united and closely bonded nation, i would say.

Lessons are interesting. Not forgetting having my very first exam in Korea, Cross-cultural Psychology. All I have to say, Singapore is so much more competitive (esp. with the bell-curve for uni students). At here, I can happily tell myself 'hey!there is nothing to worry about. I'm only competing against myself. the grades that I get is hardwork. some statistical force will not affect it'. The kind of peace you get when you get the paper is sooo different from that in Singapore. Oh man. Think I will miss such system...

Enjoying the shopping!!!! its hard to get cheap and nice clothes in Singapore, but here, its so easy! There are so many things to see! to buy or not to?? not only shopping for clothes, shoes and accessories are fun, shopping at supermarket is fun too!! their supermarket is big. the varieties of products here is so much more than in Singapore. they have some quite interesting stuff too!

I had the opportunity to experience something which we can't get in Singapore!!it was sooo much fun and tiring at the same time. Waking up early in the morning was all worth it!! just for that few minutes! :) They were right in front of people. Less than a meter away and walked pass us!!! oOo~ *shall say more next time*

More to look forward to. Especially shopping!!!

A few thousand miles away, a different time zone, an experience of a lifetime with wonderful memories to cerish~

How do you operate the washing machine???

its laundry day!!!washing clothes...

today marks the 1st week in Korea~S.E.O.U.L :))

Much have happen along the week, orientation, school starts, going to lessons, exploring the area around the school and of course, going shopping!!!

Currently, still in the adaptive mode, trying to make adjustments to the usual daily activities back in Singapore. Its interesting that I'm taking so many cultural modules this time. Contemporary Korean Society (in which I can learn more about Korea's culture) and Cross-cultural Psychology (in which I can learn about different cultures giving the diverse culture we have in class). Getting to learn more about cultures, people's behaviour, thinking and values from different countries. Countries out of Singapore. Such an opportunity doesn't come frequently. In Singapore, we hear and read, but its still best hearing it directly from the people in the culture. Lessons are fun and interesting. Different teaching styles much more interactive than in nus. However, the part about readings and exams...well...lets just not talk about it:))hahahaha

Korean lang lessons are fun!!!I know how to read!!!however still requires some time to get the sound out completely. meaning of words??still don't know.so know how to read, don't understand.:)

Shopping is fun!!looking at the changes that have occurred, its interesting. 6 years ago i visited Korea on a holiday trip, now, to stay for 6 weeks. We have covered most of the shopping places available here. but have not complete and fully explore each of the places. we can always visit back. we have another 5 more weeks~woo hoo!!!

God works in ways we cannot see~ pray~
