Yesterday was the day where we received our Korean test results. While waiting for the class to start, I starting doodling on the whiteboard. I seriously think that I'm artistic. :D
We spent the first hour of the lesson going through the test paper, learning how to make my favourite ddeokppokki and learning how to play Go-Stop. The cultural festival was held in the second hour of the lesson where we learnt how to cut ddeok (Korean rice cake).
The new principal, Mr Kwon Byung Jin, giving a speech.
Min seonsaengnim giving the necessary instructions.
Before cutting the ddeok, we were treated to ddeokguk, Korean rice cake soup that the Koreans usually eat on New Year's Day.
We also had the representative of Korean food, kimchi! This was like the best kimchi I ever had. Aileen said that it was not spicy enough and a tad too sweet but for people who cant take spicy food like me, this was good enough. I basically finished the whole plate, right down to the last piece of cabbage. I had no idea that we could go for second helpings or else...hee~
Felie gave our A1 teacher, Jang seonsaengnim, a photo frame with DBSK's Mickey's photo in it. As far as I know, our teacher is not planning to replace that photo at all. :D
We basically let Hak Pang do the cutting of the ddeok~while we just sat there and watched/took photos.
My class' masterpiece!
E1's masterpiece. The most creative entry amongst all the others but sadly, they didnt win the first prize. Guess the new principal's not up for creativity.
I2's masterpiece and also the winner of the ddeok cutting competition.
My A1 class, sans Wendy who had to leave early. A1 was really difficult but our teacher was really nice and dedicated in her teaching.
Min seonsaengnim, Me. She was my teacher for E2 and she has this aura around her that makes you afraid of her in class for every single lesson. Outside class, however, she's really nice and fun.
Yoon seonsaengnim, Me. My teacher for I2 and I think that she's really pretty in real life.
Freaking.bigass.jackfruit.
Went to eat durians at Geylang after the cultural festival. Seonsaengnim's second time eating durians and she really liked it. I fail lar, even a Korean likes to eat durian and me, a Singaporean, hates durian. What is wrong with me?!
Tried our hands at Go-Stop. Damn difficult game but I guess with more practice, we might be able to get the hang of it. Hmm...this means that we should organise more outings to play Go-Stop! Sekali later get caught by the police.
Anyway, yesterday was my first time visiting Geylang and it seriously didnt feel like Singapore to me with all the flashing neon lights, big-ass condom shop signboard, roadside stalls and a police raid on those people selling contraband cigarettes. Really big open eyes world (Da Kai Yan Jie/eyeopener)!
