This is how i learn my Hangul :P

Time flies ..this is my 7th months  and going to be 8th months soon here @ Busan ,South Korea..

starting to accept the kimchi and those spicy Korean foods. Starting to bow and say “anio” in stead of wave hand and say hello ….   and even started to accept the Konglish …. 

Along these seven months , learning Korean is the most difficult task for me .forget about the grammar,the pronunciation alone is just enough to drive me crazy….ㅏ(a) ,ㅓ(oo),ㅗ(o),;,ㅜ(u), my god….…I still remember vividly ,i eventually having a bad headache after my very 1st Korean class…

Be frank,after the “bad experience “ of my  very 1st class , i didn’t really like Korean class…or should say i feel hesitate to attend Korean class…

But luckily the teacher is very very fun and very patience , she will translate all the vocabularies to English for us ,so that we able to understand better. beside that ,she also quite Strict with my writing ,wrong spacing , wrong step …haha all have to rewrite   and she is quite particular with my pronunciation too..<not sure is the good thing or bad thing >

now beside the formal Korean class…my Korean labmates are now my “informal” Korean teachers . They always “teach” me a lot of Korean words.. of course there are some bad words too..LOL <well ,this is one of the “lesson” when we learn new language “>

They will teach me some useful Korea phase such as i am hungry ,buy me coffee please , this is so boring ,i don’t have money and so on …

sometime ,they will doodle some pictures and teach me Hangul too..

This is Sheep …양 (yang)

Lion ….사자(sa cha)…hehe

Tiger …호랑이 (ho rang i)

What is cow is Korean …hehe it’s 소 (su) or Korean cow 한우(han u)

Bear Bear is know as 곰(gom) ….

Chicken is know as 닭(dak) a bit sound like duck in English ..

While Tortoise is know as go bu gi (거북이)

Crocodile is call 악어 (a go)

little snail is know as dal peae e..달팽이

 

well,this is how i have fun with Korean language  …

does it look fun ??? hehe

“한국어 어렵지만 재밉니다” (Korean is difficult ,but  fun)

now i started to “fall in love” with Hangul and try to enjoy myself during the class

善变的是天气还是人类？

人说天气善变，但人也不是一样善变吗？

有时明明决定了，又忽然改变主意。

心情时好，时坏，反反复复，时而明媚时而忧伤。。

正如天气时晴，时阴

那试问究竟善变的是天气？还是人呢？

엄광산 Eomgwangsan (严光山)

Been here at Dongseo university for about 7 months …this evening ,finally went for a short walk at Eomgwangsan (严光山) ,one of the famous hill in Busan which located just behind our campus ..hehe
hiking is one of the main hobbies  for all folks of korean ..they will carry some foods and pinic ,for some of them hiking is just like jogging …
We started our “tour” at about 3.30pm…
Along the way …found some nice spring flowers..

not sure what is this flower call ,it look like the forsythia flower ,white version of forsythia a.k.a 개나리 (gkenali) in korean from far.. but unlike the yellow 개나리 this white flower look more simple ….

part of the walking part. ..

Water is life signboard~  in korea ,the hill always accommodated with Mountain spring water for the hiker to drink … when they are thirsty

one of the ajuma a.k.a auntie busy refill the water ….she even brought along a trolley to carry her bottles….

Turn Left to Dongseo Uni ,Turn Right to “flower road “ ..hehehe
  The view of our campus from the hill .Saw our dormitory , our Ubiquitous IT building …hehehe

This is “egg flower” 鸡蛋花 in mandarin .
According to Nana the flower named after it yellow color which look like egg yolk …
the hill is surrounded with the pine tree…

this is just a “partial” of the hill …we will revisit the Eomgwangsan  next time ..
bring some lunch box ,fruits ,drinks ..perhaps makkoli ..haha 
Our goal is to reach the top of hill …

饺子 time…

Went to my classmate fan fang ‘s dormitory on Thursday night for Dinner .

we had dumpling ,饺子 for dinner ..

No doubt ,she and her friend really can cook well. Beside nice dumping 饺子.they  can make a good “pao” 包子 as well.

They pack some dumplings for me to bring back ..hehe

  

P/S : maybe i should learn how to make this from them …someday …hahaha

小小的幸福～

奶茶一向来就是我的最爱！尤其是冷冷的奶茶～

小小的一杯就能让我，把烦恼，把压力抛的远远。。。

可是到了釜山，想喝一杯简单的奶茶竟然变成了一种奢望！！

还好上一趟回家，带了点lipton茶。。。

今天就好好的“善待善待”自己。。。呵呵

～人无千日好，花无百日红～

所谓人无千日好，花无百日红。。

曾经多美，

曾经为春天添上美丽色彩的樱花，

最终还是会枯萎。。

留下的只是那美好的回忆和枯萎的依念。。。

人生也是如此吧！不管，多美很好的东西，总有一天也会离我们而去。。

所以记得要好好的珍惜你所拥有的一切。。

不要等到失去了才了解它存在的意义～

A visit to Dalmaji Hill and Moontan Road

     Went to Dalmaji Hill Last Saturday evening with Su lin and the friends right after come back from Gimhae …  (Guess this statement will appear in ur mind now “ this Shirly seem going for travel more than studying “ or perhaps “shirly really know how to enjoy life “ )
whatever ..as long as i know what i am doing …study when i needed ,stop playing when there is not the time that suppose to play    My motto  --- > study hard and play hard
Dalmaji Hill a.k.a know as romantic hill ,according to the Busanlife website ((http://www.busanlife.or.kr/) )it’s one of the top 10  must visit places during spring .

  Meet up with Su Lin and her friends at Haeundae Station at 3.15pm ,then from there we walked to the Haeundae Beach .It took us about 20 minutes .
Spotted one lovely little yellow van while we are on the way to Haeundae Beach

We heading to Dalmajil hill after meeting up with Edie ( Su lin ‘s Friend ) who is our  “tour guide” at Haeunda Beach.
We finally reached the "starting point of the Moontan road  

The name “Moontan road “  mean “sun tanning “under the moon  as the moon light will be welcoming the visitor .
We started our Dalmaji Trail at 4 pm .the total course of the trail is about 2.2KM  it need about  60 minutes to complete it .
The reason why Dimaji hill is one of the famous places to visit during Spring and Summer is :-
It is surrounded by cherry blossoms ,pine trees. and the nice view of Haeundae Beach, the sea and the moon

THe cherry blossoms ..

China ~

The view of  Oryukdo Islet -“Oryukdo” means five or six islands signifies the uncertainty people face while counting the exact number.
Low tide reveals the causeway between Bangpaesom and Solsom islands making it appear as a single island whether high tide separates them by drowning the causeway.

Here we go ,Moontan Road …

The signboard that telling the legend of moontan road ..there are total 3 stories of it .

It took us about  1 hour to completed the Moontan Road … it was really a nice experience ..beside the nice scenery , you able enjoyed the train sound and smell of  the sea  while walking at the Moontan road..should revisit this wonderful place in future ,especially during the full moon day …to see the night view and enjoy the “moon tanning “
