The forest behind my school

I really don't understand why time flies this quickly. It is like - wink, and there 6 weeks has past without a sign. 왜?


I guess this just means i have been making full use of my time here to see places and learn.

Before i came - i have been so uncertain about what to expect and even thought 3 months is long! (And the rest of my family in Singapore still think so!) And yet now, as i inch closer to the day i depart, i feel that sense of melancholy. I guess this is what happens when you adapt too well...hmmm....

My Korean studies is getting slightly better, but i know that by 3 months (if i only stick to the textbook)... I will not be able to hold a decent conversation when i return... not to mention, i think iwill NOT be able to sing "nobody"! So i have taken steps to try learn as many everday expressions as possible... I hope my 3 months here will not be a wasted trip... Time passes way too fast to achieve what i have set out to achieve! ARG!....

Usually, when i am overwhlemed with thoughts... i like to "escape" into my own world and just hide away (although i know horoscopes are more like "horrorscopes"... i do think i have the characteristics of a "crab... they are soft on the inside, hard on the outside and when they face a not so ideal situation - they just hide...)

This is the perfect haven for hiding.... and it is in my school compound!
So one day, after school, i have decided to explore an unfamiliar newfound trek that looks tempting... I just followed the road and up i went... Initially, i was going to look for somewhere that i could sit and write my diary, but somehow, i decided to just challenge myself further and walk - the more i walked, the deeper i went and soon, i realised, i could not identify the accurate route back! Tell me about being over-confident!

God sent angels that took me the nearest bus stop.... I WILL explore this route again! This time, i will bring breadcrumbs to drop along the way! :)

A random day in school

Today, I am just showcase a day in school. It's been a long time since i have been a student.

Being a student means you can eat cheap and good food. 
This is my favourite lunch - Omelette Rice.

 It also means you have time to engage in hobbies you enjoy.
This is the room where students involved Traditional Music hang out.

 

It also means you are able to make new friends all the time.

And you get to make stupide faces as a group.


 And being a student means you get to study, that's your only worry.

Also means you tend to be more clumsy.
I spilled coffee over my notes.
