93.3%

Haha...breaking my Korean Language Test history...got only 93.3% for this mid-term exam.
Meaning that the chances of maintaining a 97% for this level is near impossible unless I get 100% for the final exam, which is harder than plucking the starts from the sky^^

But at least I was among the top 8 people who got 90% and above for this exam. Man, was it hard! I was shocked that I got 4 wrong for my listening test. Well, I couldn't hear a question properly, so I thought the most I'll make is 1,2 mistakes. But 4 !!??

The lecturers complain that we're worse than our seniors. Not in terms of intelligence, but in terms of hardworking. We put in much less effort than our seniors. At least that's what the teachers said...

Guess I need to watch more Korean drama within this month to improve my listening skills...

Juniors

Juniors are in INTEC!!!!

Well, it's hard to explain why, but I'm excited to hear that my Korean Programme juniors have finally arrived^^

But then....yet again....
I was excited to meet my seniors as well last year, before coming to Korea, and so were the seniors, can't wait to meet us....
But after coming here, I rarely see them at all.
And the excitement of meeting seniors vanished quicker than it first came...
Well, maybe it was due to the unreasonable orientation....but even excluding that...we seldom meet our seniors...
Guess this is life....
Will history repeat itself between me and my juniors?

I'm glad by blogs could be of help to some of them...knowing what to expect, 3 months in INTEc and life here in Korea....
At least that's the least I can do for them...
Well, hope you all enjoy your time in INTEC....as I've said, I miss lots of my friends back there....

Picture taken during one of my friend's birthday.

We had some sort of makan-makan at 근린공원, a park near our home.

Notice the darkened lips...not photoshop effect...

But yet again, I'm not the sort to believe in ghost pictures...

Cyworld

So, I'll do some random updates for the things that happen throughout the past few weeks...
It may not be according to chronicle orders...

After much persuasion by my student, I finally registerd for a cyworld account.
It's something lots of Korean, maybe 1/2 of them have. It's a cyberworld where you can write your diary, share your pictures, post notices, visit other friends who are using cyworld...kind of like Friendster...but more complicated....and you need to buy the stuff to decorate your "mini room", something which I haven't done...firstly no $, then the process of buying is quite troublesome, for foreigners....

Here's the chinese version of it.
