Scolded

Celebrated my friend's birthday yesterday night. It's unbelievable how long we've managed to survive in this hostile world despite all the natural disasters and accidents all around.
Finally we've come to the final year of out teen-age years.

It seems that I've not been replying to my mails as of late. Got a phone call from my aunt yesterday, was quite surprise actually.
I used to do my e-mail checking and writing in the afternoon before going to piano lessons, but ever since the piano class was changed to the afternoon due to the winter vacation I've not been able to do so.
Will try to work on it....

On the other hand, my culinary skills are improving by the day. Been cooking quite a lot at home since I'm now free in the evening.
Among the most successful one was the spicy squid rice, which was even spicier than the Malay's food. My housemates had stomachache after eating it.

Studies have been quite ok. We learned the plain form this week. At least now we know why we were SCOLDED by one of the 아줌마(Mak cik/ middle age women) as if we murdered her puppy few days ago.
This plain form is a form of speech used among close friends and by a person with a higher status(seniors etc) to a lower status (juniors etc), or by an older person to a much younger person, and between some other types of relationships.
It's considered very rude when a younger/lower status/juniors use it with older/higher status/seniors.
Well, still trying to get use to it so I that won't run into trouble gain next time.
