(seriously, I have no idea when I wrote this. But it seems like I did finish writing it… so hopefully it will make some sense! Busy week but will try to get some new posts out!) Those who have ...
Coming from a country where parks are scarce and not frequently used, Korea is a paradise to be in. I love how there is a culture of taking walks in parks, picnics, dates etc. I’ve been to seve...
Sometimes I scroll through my photo album and look for blogging inspiration. But I’ve been lazy about shooting and all I see is food, food and more food photos which is an awesome thing. In my ...
Dilemma of a blogger. It’s perfect 21 degree cel weather outside right now, and I’m torn between sparing some free time to blog or to go out and enjoy the weather. I would love to be outs...
Haven’t been blogging much about learning Korean these days! That’s because I have not been actually ‘learning’ anything. But I’m absorbing loads by using it. I have men...
A week back or so, I visited two of Korea’s traditional markets on a weekend and there were very different from each other. I haven’t had a chance to visit markets (besides Noryangjin) an...
It’s getting increasingly difficult to take out time to blog. D: I’m in the office for most part of the day and usually I have something on in the evening too. Just got back from dinner w...
It’s 8 in the morning and I’m eating my apple (for breakfast) before getting ready for a new day at work. Pardon me if I’m incoherent. Here are some random photos! The other weekend...
It’s been a week since I arrived in Korea and like I said in a previous post, it feels like I’ve returned home. I don’t have any particular tourist-like desires to visit all the fam...
Each trip to Seoul feels very different. Perhaps it’s because I’m there for different reasons. This time, I’m here for a short-term internship and also to collect data for my final ...
SURPRISE!!! 안뇽!! 서울에 도착했당!!!! Did anyone guessed that I was going to Seoul? ^^ I’ve never had the chance to look at Incheon Airport properly but now I have to wait quite a big so I thought a bl...
Doesn’t look too bad. May the weather remain similar for May 2012. ^^
Hands up if you have encountered this phrase before, from friends, relatives, random people etc. I myself have heard this request countless times. Usually followed by the following comment(s). ‘...
SO DAMN HOT. It feels like the height of summer these days and basically my brain is a pile of mush. Unmotivated to do anything. Sorry if I haven’t been replying to any mails, comments, tweets ...
it’s amazing how we tend to remember details subconsciously but it’s so difficult to memorize our notes for exams right? We often lament that we can remember song lyrics in a few hours bu...
One more blog to add to my collection. I’ve been told countless times that I have too many blogs But if each blog is in a different language, then it should be alright, no? I’m kinda prou...
I really admire people who can seemingly juggle between so many different things at the same time and do well in them. People who are driven to accomplish a lot in a short time. Unfortunately, I̵...
I can’t decide whether I can read in Japanese or not. I’m now studying with Big Bang’s Japanese interviews and I was reading this yesterday. I am studying with it, so I’ll loo...
I don’t know why, but there is quite a number of people googling the above phrase to get to my blog. Not sure what is happening but since it’s a valid and pretty interesting question, I&#...
The concept of time comes up very often in language learning. I don’t have time to spend on languages. How much time do I need to be proficient? How long should I study each day? Do I have time...
Many people have been asking me about studying both languages at the same time, how I feel about both languages, which is easier to learn etc. It’s hard to answer these questions, seeing that I...
Nearly after 3 years, I finally decided to try for TOPIK advanced this time. We had to reach there by 8.10 for the beginners / advanced paper. Upon alighting from the shuttle bus, we were greeted by ...
It seems like I’m taking a different tack in studying Japanese compared to Korean. I can’t remember the exact details, but I think I didn’t bother looking at ‘authentic materi...
studying Japanese. This is so typical of me. I never like to do the things that I’m supposed to do in that period of time. At chapter 25 of the KUJAP textbook now and 5 more chapters to go! I&#...
Just woke up and it hit me fully that TOPIK is tomorrow. Less than 24 hours away. We are supposed to be in the school by I think… 8.10am. Which means I have to get up at maybe 6am or even earli...
[post written yesterday] yayyyy!!! Just finished my Japanese oral exam and it’s one of the better oral exams I’ve had! The sensei allowed me to finish my speech without cutting me off in ...
I have a Japanese oral exam in less than 5 hours and I’m trying to create a very last minute Japanese immersion environment. Basically I’m preventing myself from looking/reading/listening...
I have written about the importance of creating links with the language before, so now I’m just gonna share my own links with Japanese. I first started learning Japanese with the attitude that ...
Mmm, why am I blogging now when I have a Japanese listening exam in less than 2 hours? D: When I first decided to ‘try out’ self-studying Japanese, I thought that I should post regularly ...
Every time I find a new Korean / Japanese learning resource, I’ll go 아싸! The sense of satisfaction and excitement is immense and so is sharing it with you guys (: Yesterday, I came across a ser...
