Kuala Lumpur

I have to finish my paper for workshop in Kuala Lumpur on Sept.27 till 29. I think it's gonna be just great to know that everything is planned.
I am excited to see Petronas Tower again...

wooden pergola

I got this well prepared stuff at hand when I had to teach.
and..the thing just went off so well that at times I couldn't differentiate whether I had done it correctly or not..quite..

I watered the plants right after I finished my dawn prayer. And then..the next thing I did was to take a bath while meity helped me iron my clothes I am wearing now:) and...
the next thing was....I was once again..speeding up to campus...in fear of getting caught in the traffic jam and being late to campus.
luckily I managed to get to campus in time before the class began.

and...today..I did enjoy teaching 'cos some students did show their enthusiam of learning English with me.

the thought of having a nice group of students in class really helped me a lot

then..I went to PSK. and now I'm still at the office...
and today..I am to meet a carpenter I met the other night. He is to do something with my house's veranda. actually..my wife and I am designing a wooden pergola and we decided to ask someone else do the job.
of course.....:)

this is the start of the day...

I give my all to have one more night with you...
I'd risk my life to have one more night with you...
I'd give my all to have just one more night with you...

this is MC's song that I am listening to while I am writing down this blog...

this morning..I started my Kapita Selekta Masyarakat Korea course. it turned out that about 14 students enrolled in my class. Indeed, this kinda makes me happy since I don't have to concentrate on things and stuffs that I don't need to pay attention to.
the less students, the more energetic the class would be...or so I think.

today...my introductory class only covered rough description of what they would encounter for the next 4 month-long semester. This included the introductory course by san (that's me:)....

and I was just giving away questions to be answered..
at times I gave each student ample time to consider how they perceived Korea once they heard its name.
and it turned out that some notions popped out of their mind...

I think it's gonna be a great class...

afternoon jots

I just finished teaching writing Hangeul or Korean alphabet to the new enthusiasts in my class. well..some really show their big interest in learning Korean. But some think that they may encounter troubles as they proceed to the next level. Still, ..somehow...I recommend them to keep trying and never stop studying.

I am so relieved that today's class is over.
and one more good news is that...I don't have to submit the first draft of my research this week. I still have 3 weeks to finish it. gosh....what a relief.

okey suray...
let's make the best of your time while you got ample of time.

breakfast.rain.bank.class.relieved

luckily I managed to ask the man in charge of the shop. He did help me.
and while he was taking care of my bike...I took my time to have light breakfast...well..not quite light, though...for I had 'gudeg' for breakfast. it cost me 2500 rups. and glad...that ...in time when I had just finished my meal...the bike was ready.
and the man charged me 3000 rups for the service fee...but instead of giving him 3, I gave him 5000 rups....as a token of my gratitude for being helpful.

and...the drizzling started.

I dropped by at gudeg place again to order a take-away gudeg for meity.
I almost forgot that I got to buy her some meal as well.

and...so...it all went well.
she had her breakfast while I was taking a bath.

and...we went to campus together....
actually..I just took her for a ride for a while..to the place where she was supposed to have a meeting an hour earlier.:)
but things got their ways...

I managed to go to campus just in time for me to prepare stuffs before teaching.
and also, I managed to go to the bank for my home loan.

relieved.

Flat tire ....and.... rainy day

Today I never thought that I would encounter rainy days on summer! Right, it was raining since 3 in the morning. I was soundly sleeping when my wife woke me up out of nowhere telling me that it had been raining for quite some time and she wondered if our clothes had been caught in the rain. well....it's not that I don't like it...but the thought of waking me up loudly really startled me out of my sleep. :)....
and she was right. some clothes that were being hung dry....were soaking wet.

...and we woke up late.
cleaned the house. opened up the curtains of the house. putting off the lamps. and ....just when I was about to take my motorbike out of the room...I noticed something strange in my bike. I couldn't even move it. It became uncommonly heavy. heavier than it usually was. and to my surprise...it got a flat tire.:) ^^ oh nooooo...
I had to take my wife to the meeting at 8 and we hadn't even taken a bath..and to make things worse...I got to take the bike to the repair-shop that luckily is situated just about 200 meters from home.

well....with an empty stomach...I briskly changed cloth and took the bike out.

....the repair shop was still closed when I got there.
and what happened next?.....later on...I'll continue the story later on...

TGIF.....:) ^^

As I approached the campus this morning...something irked me. it was my rumbling tummy. yup...I felt this miserable hunger inside my tummy. I didn't hv any idea of what I had gotten myself into...lately. I was sure that I did have my light breakfast this morning right b4 I went to campus...but still..I felt this nausea due to my lack of proper eating habit.

another reason that I could possibly recount was the fact that I slept (again) right after I got my breakfast! aha!!! yup...this really perturbed me.
I was so sleepy right after having meal that I pull myself into bed accordingly...

nothing was standing between me and my pillows once I smell them

I had a little headache as I realized that I had a meeting to catch at 11 o'clock this morning...and it was only 20 minutes to 11 when I woke up. and the worse part...was that I hadn't even taken a bath.
and what a crooked face and flattened hair I got.

simpy put...I looked terrible.
and the only thing I could do was to have the quickest shower I had ever had...
and grabbed some light snack...and without thinking any further of any stuffs that I might have left at home...
I rushed myself to campus.

on my way to campus...I just realized that I got to pick up some copied materials for my afternoon class. and to make thing worse...I didn't have money at all to pay for the copying.
and...that meant I got to take a queue at the ATM.

luckily I managed to get things done..and finished doing things 'out' orderly:) ^^

and..I just finished teaching a few minutes ago...and here I am....sitting here ..jotting down all this thought.

friday...
THank God It's Friday

fish trouble

last night I went to sleep at around 1 o'clock in the morning.
well...some fishes really made me mad...
there were two fishes that kept eating and pushing around other smaller fishes.
I felt kinda stress out to see that the smaller ones were breath-takingly running for their lives and..then...
some thing...came up.
dreadful.
two little neon fishes that I bought died just a few minutes after I mingle them with other fishes in the aquarium.
:( hiks..

but...I could do nothing. I watched them in horror. it was a terrible sight.
then...I couldn't bear it any longer. and the only thing that popped right out of my mind....was to take those two monster-like fishes out of the water.
but it was no easy job.

it took me almost an hour just to take them out. 'cos I was so stupid to think that those two monstrous fishes were just ordinary ones. they were not...to my surprise.
they were so slimy and so slicky. they dodged my hands as I was helplessly trying to catch them.

so...the only thing that seemed so possible was to separate them.
and I did.
gosh...what a relief.
I did that.

Fishy fishy....

It was just 30 mins. past 8 in the evening....the time elapsed so fast.
I was about to go home when I spotted a new shop that sells fishes. well...fish shop...let's call it that way.
It captured my imagination, for apart from selling fresh water fishes...this particular shop also sells sea fishes. I saw lots of clown fishes..or I'd rather call them NEMO.:)

the first thing that I did as soon as I got off the bike was to check the whole displays of aquariums full of varied fishes. ...some I knew before..and some that I hadn't even seen in my life....even for some fishes called NEON. ....brightly shining fishes on both sides of their bodies..
hard to explain...

I was looking around and some guy helped me out picking out some fishes that I had intention to buy.
정말 아름다워요...

then...I spent 16.000 rups. for about 15 fishes.

pre-start to diggin'....

Today is the first day....I am writing to you again, my Blog.
well...it was such a hectic week that I couldn't even touch my comp.
the thing was....I was so withdrawn into some preparation of the new semester that I didn't even have time...even just to jot down a few words into my Blog.

now ..the time is slightly changing.
I am having a lot of time...not to say...I am kinda free.

ooppps I was wrong.

lots of researches and teaching materials preps. are just lurking right in the corner of my notebook. they are waiting for my hands to caress them....so as to make them awake...again.
..after a month-long slumber.

I did nothing to them.
and..the deadline for my research report is due to Sept.9. and that's Next week.!
well...I guess I'd better start diggin' into my notebook again, then...
