Reminisce: Korean EpisodeS...part 2

FRIENDS...COMMUTING THROUGH FOOD
friends was da most important chapter in my korean experience. in around 9 months of korean studying... i made around 6-7 Korean friends and of course some non-Korean, Korean studying classmates hehe...mostly through food, cos we lub eating~we also went through a lot of activities i would do w/ my regular friends, but wen it is with them...it is A LOT different ha...chek it

HOT POT COMING THROUGH...
back in Jan 06...dis was my 1st tim ever to have eaten hot pot w/ a bunch of guyz...kinda feel like being da lil sis but then no matter how much i eat, it wud seem like i ate not as much muhahaha....so da story was dis...after 3 brutal rounds, exceeded 2 hr limit, waiters start "hinting" they wanna kick us out, another waiter closed our fire! as mad as we should be, we weren't cos...4 ppl went, drank 20 bucks of drinks BUT ended up w/ a bill of only 3 ppl, drinks free..mad? guess not. dis will be my first n ever hot pot experience. Then went to Ricco 4 sum yummy mango n red bean ice. I think dis was also my first get together w/ Guo, Sungkyu n Junhyuk ,오빠(oppa meaning brother in korean, form of address to older guyz)


NORBOO
my first ever to go to Korean restaurant w/ Korean ppl...believe it or not, it was easier hehe... Guo, Sungkyu oppa, my bro, Kimmy and Danyoung onni was there too...fell in luv w/ 보쌈(possam) since then...
<--해물찜

NORAEBANG
besides eating hehe...one of the activities i enjoy was singing n of course Korean karaoke was one thing i wanted to experience. W/o a korean w/ ya, i think nvr in my life i would get in dat place... their noraebangs are so different from Chinese's...structure, environment n who will know they have a tambourine to accompany you! n of course Koreans are not as shy in singing in front of ppl as Chinese . Dis was also my first time meeting Cynthia (korean classmate) n Ara (energetic n cute Korean girl haha) outside of skool... of course Sungkyu oppa has 2 be here again~great singers!



BBQ PARTY
April 2nd...was bbq party @ my house...kinda like a huge get together w/ all my korean friends w/ my family n friends. Unfortunately, a couple din came but Ginna, Sungkyu n Guo was here. Ginna was such a cute girl, fun spirit~chek her surprised look from walking Miko hehe...Sungkyu n Ginna really enjoy the Western style family gathering n of course Chinese dessert--black sesame paste rice balls! My fav too~ we hit Fisherman's Wharf after n sang karaoke at my place...great memories for all

though some classmates couldn't come, we still had a great time. This is my first ever class get together n my last. Thx for making dis so memorable Cynthia, n in my final year. Our class was small n dat is exactly how we all got so close. From speaking zero korean to doing a little Korean skit...from sitting beside each other speechless to getting names like "the trios", "starbucks group", talking on msn, singing songs, n eating together...wow! Dis is my first time remembering all my classmates names... all the ppl in our class had such cute character n i wish i would know em longer~ but i will nvr forget u guyz, cos all of u was so special. i may never meet u guyz again but i wish u all the best in wutever u pursue in the future. I hope in the future we can all meet again or sumthing ha...Dun forget ur korean, i hope i won't n be able to self study...Keep up ur korean studying n eat a lot of kimchi! I will miss you all 보고 싶어...^O^
