It's been awhile again, I'm not blogging with my 'karut marut' ramblings.... Well, lets me continue with my day 6 visitation to Gwacheon, South Korea....As what I've been said in Part 5, day 5 and 6 we'll meet and stay with our foster families....Well, it was went well...thumbs up for this Home-stay Programme organised by Korea Youth Exchange Society...

Pe tak nye...it's not u've been put in the rural place...it's a nice place, considered suburban compared to metropolitan Seoul...calm and awesome dude....u'll never find it in Seoul city....That day, in the morning, we've been out from home to lead ourselves to Seoul Land...

I loved went there but I'm not into thrilling things which I ain't try the roller coaster or anything yang boleh wat I hilang mood....Tapi kene pakse gak naik flying carpet....alih2, turun tu je.....den poning!!!!...
Seriously hilang mood peeps nak wat itu ini...and I da tak dipakse wat bende2 yang I tak suke lagi...yahoooooo....

Korea Part 5

We move on to part 5 lak....Penat mlm sebelum tu tak mematahkan semangat kami tuk trus wat study tour...Hari kelima ni adalah hari kami berpisah sementara...hari ni melibatkan Home-stay Program di Gwacheon city...

Before that, kami melawat dulu satu exhibition at COEX...

GLOBAL ELECTRIC POWER TECH. 2011

In this exhibition, it displays hi-tech electric technology of 271 companies from 24 countries.One of the focal points of this exhibition is the smart grid, a technology introduced in Korea during the G20 Summit 2011...It's a form of electricity network using two-way digital communications to control appliances reducing costs, saving energy and increasing reliability and transparency.

Nak cari kek kat syitah for her bday celeb

LUNCH

Lunch kali berbeza dari sebelum2 nya...kali ni varieties...and it's buffet...boleh la mak pilih2 mknan yang nak dimakan...definitely sume bende boley makan....that's a vegetarian restaurant....mak aiiii, ramai le gak yang makan kat cni and the foods served well...



Kami makan sayur je....

HOME-STAY PROGRAM

Here, u will have an experience of the way Koreans lives in their daily lives...A nite spending with the local families living in Gwacheon-si, a suburb of Seoul, it really makes me like I'm a Korean instead I'm obviously not...my foster father, John was really responsible...ye la, takkan nak kasi 'nightmare' kat kami kan...owhh ya, I was partnering with Sis Zu...



Ekspresi bile tak tau de org capture kami2
ngan bile kamera depan mate...POSING lagi la peah...



Partner and foster father...

Family yang I dapat nie agak modern yerrr walaupun tinggal in an apartment not a bungalow tapi diorang nie rajin sangat outbound to everywhere...My dad in temp is an engineer @ LG, so, the way he looks like, the act he does on is just similar to Mr. H....Diorang tunjuk la gambar diorg g sane cni...during summer, diorg satu family g Canada for a month...huhhh, rajin betoi bjalan...it's therapy bebbb...

Ptg tu kami di bawak jalan2 sekitar Gwacheon...G la jugak ke National Museum of Contemporary Art, Korea.



Ni la adik2 angkat I..
adik ke dek nonnn...
Julie and Shiny...
Peter is Julie's bFF
He spoke very well too...
Long living in US...
So, harus la terror 



Tgk adik manje I nie...
Manje sgt...
Maybe I'm her fav.
(perasan**)



Temple ni sebijik cam dlm cite
Sungkyungkwan Scandal
Yang tmpat tido dia tu....



Kat temple lagi......

DINNER

I pernah share ngan uols kan pasal diorg ni mkn awal...so, same je la macam kat cni pun....mak angkat masak kan tuk dinner kami...kami berdua nie bukan malu2 kucing tapi tak lalu nak makan, tekak kembang lagi....hahhaha...tapi untuk tidak mengecewakan mane2 pihak, kami makan tapi sgt slow sbb tak nak tambah..hahhahahaha...nakai kami nie...



Dinner kami....
Bnyk nyer mknan nk kene abis...

Mlm tu banyak sembang2 pasal itu ini...and Julie, the eldest kid is a good girl...she speaks English very well...disebabkan Korea ni berkait rapat ngan USA, their accent harus la cam US...Kite kat Malaysia ni kan banyak ikut British..jadi, kami kat sane pun menukarkan slang percakapan kami agar tak jadi perbualan ayam-itik...

Sembang punyer sembang, tak sedar da nak malam....lupe nak cerite, suke sgt kat security door lock...main picit2...best nyer klu leh pkai kat Malaysia...mmg sgt terase sebijik macam mane yang tunjuk kat dalam drama...huhhhh, tak dapat dilupakan langsung....dalam umah John tak de TV..kate nyer nak elak anak2 nyer dari sentiasa duduk depan TV without study...Julie is learnig another language too...disebabkan competition amat tinggi di Korea, parents tak peduli walaupun edu fees are too high...mereka tetap hantar anak2 mereka ke kelas2 yang boleh membuat kan anak mereka lebih dari kanak2 yang lain...so, dunia mrk hny lah blaja...book shelves lak pny la tinggi n penuh je ngan buku...

According to papa John, diorg join program ni sbb nak biase kan anak2 mereka berbahasa inggeris..Shiny, the second child is a bit shy to expose her ability of speaking English...she always whispered to me whenever she wants to talk...she ashamed if she did mistakes, she'd be laughed....we are not laughing to u dear....

Hamikkk kau panjang lebar cite....enuff la for today..I'll continue it later...nak tgk dalam hati ade taman...

Korea Part 4

It's been a while for me not updating Part 4, weekend to be fulfilled...K, lets start with our study tour for the fourth day...

HAJA CENTER

Seoul Youth Factory for Alternative Culture or known as Haja Center is a vocational organization entrusted to the Center for Youth and Cultural Studies of Yonsei University by the Seoul Metropolitan Govt. Haja means Let's do it....it's usually heard in the Korean drama...HAJA!!HAJA!!...ehhhh.... =) ...Tempat ni ditubuhkan untuk mengurangkan masalah di kalangan remaja di Seoul...Lagi maju negara, lagi banyak masalah yang menular di kalangan remaja....Tempat ni mmg best peeps...the deco pun sgt creative...bnyk bende ley wat kat cni which it depends on your interest...what'd u like, u'd go into it...music, tailoring, artistic or whatever kind of interest u're so into, u'll be make it real in here....

LUNCH

Lunch di Kota Seoul jugak...which mkanan nyer boleh tahan juga...macam dalam cite Korea okay!!!...de jenis lauk tu mmg abis la kami bedal....nasi nyer diletakkan dalam ala2 lesung batu...so terpikir la time tuh, kat Malaysia u tak nak lak wat cam gini kan...uhukssss...tumbuk smbal belacan selalu la....hmmmppp...

Kami diajar untuk makan makanan cam gini dengan bubuh air bile nasi da abis dikaut keluar...kate coordinator kami, ianya untuk digestion yerrrr, kami pun wat la....ikut adat mereka....klu kite kat Malaysia, kerak nasi pun tak pandang kan...siap de kene marah lagi, klu tak makan kerak nasi, lambat pegi haji....huuuhhhhh, ade kaitan ker??? ianya cume jawapan untuk kita tidak membazir nasi yang ade....jadi kwn syaitan nanti...baik abiskan mkan yang de....hmmppp, mase g nie, saiz pinggang baru berganjak dr XS ke S...kantung mknan dalam perut pun tak besar mane....so, mknan yang bnyk di bagi pade kwn2 lelaki yang ade...

CENTRAL OFFICIALS TRAINING INSTITUTE (COTI)

Okay kalian, cehhhh....bhs melambangkan peribadi.....kalian tuh... =P ...Bergerak la kami seterusnya ke satu tempat yang agak ceruk dari hiruk pikuk Metropolitan Seoul untuk melawat COTI...COTI ni kalu di Malaysia sama seperti Institut Tadbiran Awam Negara (INTAN)..k, cite skit pasal COTI, it has served as the driving force behind the quest for sustained natioanl development thru public service training and development....It's the focal point where govt. officials gather to discuss and implement policy alternatives regarding the national agenda and pending issues....

Mase kami lawat COTI, kami bjumpa dengan pegawai2 Malaysia yang sedang berkursus di sini...2 weeks mereka di sana....dan bila da sembang2, terasa sgt indahnya hidup kami YEP 2011, ley g sane sini untuk visit places...mereka hanya duduk di sana, berdiskusi etc....cuma bila ade kelapangan, baru mereka keluar naik subway....so, klu nak hidup meriah cam kami, sila pilih YEP yer bile offer dibuka....siap promote lagi!!!

Tgk la gmbar2 kami di bawah, walaupun berkot bagai, tapi kami ENJOY!!! Salah satu terapi diri untuk melupakan seketika tugas2 yang ade di ofis....balik ofis nnti, hamikkkkk kau...keje keje keje...

SEOUL WORLD CUP PARK

K, I'll tell u a bit about the park...the steady accumulation of garbage formed a hill that reached up to 90 metres in height...the it was transformed to eco-friendly park as the leachate discharged from the mountain of garbage began to pollute to nearby water source....and now, it opens to public and serves as a recreational area for citizens as well as the international and domestic events....

Grasses have covered all the useless garbages 



The replica and actual one...

from top of the hill, u'll see the World Cup Stadium and it's soooooo awesomeee guysss....tak tipu....pastu nak turun, sila ikut tangga yang disediakan yerrrrr....lebih tinggi dari Batu Caves nokssss....sib baik turun, tak le letih sgt.....

Tempat alien trime signal...

DINNER

K, tuk dinner nie kami mkn sekitar Seoul gak....Not much can I say bout the food... and of course, kami dihidangkan mknan ikan2 dan seafoods.....

KOREAN ORIGINAL MUSICAL 'MISO'

Before I start with what MISo is, kami dapat mencuba 'hanbok' mrk scr percume...tapi klu nak pakai dengan duit sendiri pun tak mhl mane la...siap ade yang tlg siap2 kan, da rase cam pelakon Miso lak....hmmmmppp...., retis mmg cm tu....**bajetartislewtuh**

Kami pun sume bersiap2 pakai their traditional attire utk tidak lmbat tgk their performance....klik sane...klik sini....smpai lebam da bdn2(tipu je*-*) tangkap gmbar naik kematu sbb da tak de idea nak posing cmne...then I chose the Queen dress...at first, tak tau pun tu baju Queen, my translator ckp it's a Queen but Nate is a higher Queen than me....so, sila bace or tgk cerite history of their keturunan2 dulu kala....when i was layannnnn 'The Moon That Embraces The Sun', I nmpak the Queen pkai hanbok similar to me, I yelled to myself : "I wore that hanbok"........hmmmpp... pe???ingat u sorang je ke yang da merase pkai??hihihihi...it's publicize okay!!!no no no..T-T

Hanbok kami
Tu la pembantu2 Queen rambut tinggi tuh...
Berat beb rambut tuh....
Mujur tak de kutu...ahakssss...

Miso means beautiful smile....Cerite ni kami leh paham sbb dia tak cakap2 pun...just menggunakan body language dan mereka sgt2 arif dalam membawa watak masing2....It features a Joseon Dynasty tale of an unmarried couple-Lee Mong-nyong and Seong Chun-yang...The man leaves the woman for taking the national exam, the evil and greedy lord proposes to the woman, Chun-yang and for rejecting the offers, she was imprisoned. After some times, Mong-nyong back to the place and he tries to find a way how to prison break his love woman besides take care of biz with the evil lord...

With the casts...
dancing round and round
then kami lagi tangkap gmbar sesuke pose kami...
free pose...~klik~

Sgt touching and sedih tgk cite nie...expression yang diberi with music yang sgt sesuai mmbuatkan kami faham apa yang cuba mereka smpaikan....Thumbs up too for this performance....Our coordinator suruh kami berlari ke luar once hero and heroin da lari dari pentas...ingtkan knp la kami disuruh lari....rupe nyer...all casts akan g ke satu small park to gather with audiences and dance in a circle....sgt best and enjoy doing that....satu lagi experience yang takkan dilupakan...

And that nite was finished dengan Miso dan tak dapat g mane2...Balik hotel.....stay on your bed only!!!!ahaksssss.....kite ZzZzZzZZ dulu tuk kumpul tenaga for the fourth day.....phewwwwwww

Ketemu lagi ya di part seterusnya..mmg tak ley compress la cite2 di Korea nih....Sila la bace hingga Part 10, our fly day back to Malaysia.....phewwww again....**peningmaknaktaippanjang2*
