Chinese New Year has Begun - January 24th

Gong Xi Fa Cai! It means Happy Chinese New Year... (I believe) in Cantonese. As I started to write this journal, I start to feel really boring. That's a reason that I didn't write the blog post for past week. Whatever!

Today, I'd like to tell you about the I.S.K.L student's life and how it feels. Of course, I am going to write about me, studying and playing at the school but I am write a story. Not as third person, but first person.

"Wheepie!" I shouted joyfully as the first period started. "Tomorrow, Chinese New Year will be begun and no more studying!" I said to myself. As the first period, the humanities started, we had to do review the test, which was really hard. I didn't like it, I hated it because I was willing to do something fun because tomorrow is holiday but we had to do this social study test. I usally liked everything but only for today, I felt really irritable. I didn't want to talk with people and I didn't want anyone to tease me which make me really angry that I can't even control myself. However, the test was done, humanities was done and I was so merry. As I walked out of the door, I thought that I will do funny subject on second period. Unfortuntely, it wasn't. Humanity Support. Two English subject on one day. When I was taking a humanity support, humanity teacher told me to check my test and I had to. Two period, doing social study test was.... I can't even express my feeling because it was horrible. Later, it was done, done, and done. Recess time began. I rushed to canteen to eat something and I had conflict with my friend.

It was a big conflict between my friend and me and I was really angry that I couldn't calm down. My face blushed and my hand was already prepared for beating. He just teased me and went to play soccer. If I wasn't at the school, I might beat him so easily but not at school. Seriously, I tried to beat him because I couldn't control my feeling but luckily, my friend, Brian stopped me. On the last day of school, teasing was the most horrible thing and actaully, that happened. I was so angry that I broke my pencils with my bare hand and punched to my electronic dictionary. The dictionary's screen broke into pieces and still, I couldn't calm down eventhough my friend stoped me. Of course I fixed the dictionary's screen later. But, as a friend, I decided to not BEAT him up and later forgive him. I thought that was the best way to do it and I did it. Later, thrird period, and fourth period take a favorable turn.

Okay, I'd like to stop here because the time is already 3:00 am and everyone expect me are sleeping... I just started to write this because I couldn't sleep well but now, I think I will... See you guys! Good Night!!

Countdown to End of Januray - January 19th

Oh dear! Only 12 days left till the end of January. The school has begun, and there are bunch of homeworks to do. (Aww....) Today, I even cancelled my tuition because I had many homeworks to do and that also includes tuition homework. Just now, I have finished all the homeworks and I have stuided for science test. The science test is... going to be hard. Actully, there is a big test coming up at the end of February! ERB test! (Why!!!) I know that everyone don't like to take a test, especially something like ERB because we have to write a essay. Oh, because of ERB, I have one bad news and good news. I will tell the good news first. The good news is that if I do well at ERB test, I can get out of ESL and take a main class. Now, the bed news is that I won't be able to get a good score. Maybe not, but probably, yes. I think you must be prepared for your ERB test, do you?

I had lots of questions in the school, while I was attending humanities class. "Why do you write blog post for?" That was the only question I ever heard in this month. I will tell you now and Marvin! Don't ask me that stupid question again. Right? I am writing this for fun or to show my thoughts, ideas and ophinon. Maybe, it can be homework, but most of them, I write for fun. I have relized that now, no one is writing their post and don't get interest at their blog post, but I do! (Well.. No one reads my post so... that means nothing)

Do you know that tomorrow, the economy will become better because Obama will be the president of United States, which will make a big change. Maybe, he won't but everyone believe that he will make a big change to the United States of America. Maybe, the world. Obama, as a first black president in the U.S.A, I am sure that he will make the economy better and solve the world's biggest problem. He is not only one country's president, he is the world's president.

Sking in Korea! - January 12th Monday

"It's going to be a fantastic day ever!" I shouted loudly as I walked through a main entrance of Sajo ski area. Everyone including me, were holding their ski plates and ski poles. Before we wore the ski plates, we had to warm up. We warmed up like atheletic. After we warmed up, we started to wear the pair ski plates but most of them had trouble with wearing ski plates. However, I was used to wearing ski plates so, I wore it really fast without any troubles and I rushed to a ski lift but I didn't know what level I should ride. I waited for my friends to come. When my friends came to me, they told us that there are four courses in this ski area. First course was for novice/begginer, second course was middle, third course was middle - high, and fourth course was highest level. We decided to go to ride a novice level course first to see that I was warmed up.

"Amazing!" I whispered to my friend's ear as I rode the ski lift. Later, it lifted higher and higher so that I couldn't see the people very well. When I saw the ground down, I congealed. I froze like a ice, without a word. Then, I safely arrived to the novice course's peak. When I started to ski, I thought this course was very easy for me but it wasn't. I shouted in horror in my heart as I started to go down the novice course. Somehow, someone (I believe he was novice) crashed to me but problem was that I didn't fell off but that guy did. I apolozied to him and I came down as fast as I could. I was embrassed and my face blushed. I knew that it was his fault but I was just embrassed and nothing else. When I came back from peak to ground, I started to challenge myself. "Let's go to middle course!" I talked myself.

As I rode a middle course ski lift, I repeated myself. "I think I've made a wrong decision..." But it was too late! Already, lift was lifted up and there was no choice but to ride it. "Oh, dear..." Generally, I try to challenge myself but I thought this was not a good challenge. It went to higher peak than before. However, it looked easy to me and it was actually easy. It only took few minutes to go down. I relized that this course wasn't challenging for me also because this time, there was no accident, nothing. I thought about the highest course in here. It wasn't novice course, it wasn't middle level course. It was a highest level course. I decided to do it - to ride it. I took a lift with my friend and I can't make time back.

It took almost 4 minutes to reach to the highest peak in this ski area. "Oh.. this is going to be the impossible mission..." "What have I done? Kevin!" I muttered. Finally, we reached to the peak. The higehst peak. When I looked down, it was steeper than I thought. While I was looking down to see how steep it is, my friend already took off his ski plate. "I am goin' to walk down... It's too steep for me to ski..." he told me. Later, he asked me to walk together but I didn't. I started to ski. "Control yourself... Control yourself..." I muttered. While I was sking down, I almost crashed to other snowboarder but I didn't fall and he didn't fall either. Phew! Approximately, six minutes later, I safely arrived to the ground. Everyone was surprised and I was proud of myself. However, it was scary too! I was sure that I won't ski with that highest course by myself.

Countdown to End of W-Vacation - January 9th

Hi guys... Only 2 days till the end of W-Vacation. "Sigh" Today, I am exhausting right now because today, I went to Time Square with two NAUGHTY! (Hyunwoo and Ted) BOYS and three NAUGHTY GIRLS (Rosa, Hyo Won and her cousin) They were so enthusiastic! (Especially, girls...) When they saw a rollercoaster, they forced boys to ride with them. When they forced to get on the rollercoaster, Hyunwoo and I ran away so, they couldn't catch us. However, Ted! (Poor Ted...) was caught and he rode a rollercoaster with girls. (Well... let me just tell everything that happened in Time Square!)

Secondly, we went to the... I forgot the name! (Whatever...) Okay, it was two person for a seat. Suddenly, Hyunwoo and Ted betrayed me and I had to seat with Hyo Won's cousin... (She's ambitious is to be a police...) She is really aggrasive and she is way stronger than anyone else. Even me, Hyunwoo and Ted. Of course, I met her this time so, it wasn't easy to seat together and ride together! Suddenly, she pushed me into a seat. "What the...." and it started. I rounded and round. Later, it was so fast that Hyunwoo and Ted sticked together in one seat because it was so fast that no one could control. Of course, she (Who set with me) leaned to me... It wasn't on purpose. It was just mistake. Actaully, everyone were leaning like couple. Funny thing was that when she sticked to me, she shouted. "Dude! I can't control my self! My body just move to your body!" About 5 seconds later.... "Ah! I can't hold it anymore!" Then, she just leaved everything and she leaned on me. Problem was that while she was leaning to me because of air force, Hyunwoo took a picture and that looked like I was couple with her. I tried to erase it but he turned off the handphone and I couldn't erase it. (It was locked...)

It was awful... I don't want to tell you anymore... So, See ya!

Countdown to End of W-Vacation - January 6th

Hey guys! Can't you see some difference from last post and this post? Yes! Title has changed! The reason why I am changing my title is that January has come already. Okay, let's begin my post. Only 6 days left till the end of W-Vacation and that includes 1 weekend, sat and sunday. As you know, the W-Vacation ends on January 12th which is on monday.

Seriously, I am boring now. I don't have anything to do. Even my homework is done and everything is done. Now, it is also boring to watch television and play computer game. I am craving for friends to play with. Most of people are still enjoying their time in other country and that includes my best friend, Joonatan. I hope Joonatan will come back soon but problem is that if he comes back, the W-Vacation ends. "Sigh" Actually, there is lots of things Joonatan and I can do in his house. There are some creepy stuffs in his house and that includes Guitar Hero II. I finally understand why friend is your life....

Hmm.... Oh! Yesterday, I and my brother seperated the room. That means that we are having different rooms. Actaully, we wanted to get different rooms but problem was that the bed was sticked together with nail but we removed it. I have bigger room than my brother's room and I think my room is more cleaner than my brother's. (Ha ha ha) With my room, three people can sleep in my room. I'd like to take a picture but unfortunately, camera has some problem. Okay, I think that's all for today! See you later!

January is Coming - Januray 1st (Happy New Year ^^)

Happy New Year guys! Today is the last day in Korea and tomorrow, I am in Malaysia! I am now 14 years old in Korea. That means that I am in middle school, 7th grade. Just now, I ate rice cake soup and there is a reason. In Korea, most of people eat the rice cake soup because if we eat the rice cake soup, we get one year older than before (It's just tradition in Korea...) In rumour, some people don't eat the rice cake soup because they don't want to get older. (Ha ha ha...)

Have you planned some challenges or achievements today? I have planned some challenges or achievement everyone will plan some achievements for 2009, the new year. I will tell my plan for this year. Before I talk about my achievements or challenges, I want to tell why the planning for every new year is good for you and me. There is a big reason. If you plan something and you decided to do it, you will do it. Even though, you planned a extremely hard challenge, you will achieve it. Maybe not - but if you work hard to achieve, you will achieve it. Last year, I planned to read the series of "Harry Potter" and I am not talking about Harry Potter book that has written as Korean. I decided to read Harry Potter book which was written in English. Maybe, you will think that it is not challenge but it is for me. English is second language for me and I am still taking ESL 4 which is known as Humanities Support. Well... and guess what? I have achieved it. I read the Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, and it is 636 pages long. Everyday, I took a English - Korean dictionary and I read it. I might have forgotten some words that I found in this book but still, I can remember some vocaburaly. Some of words that I have learned in this book was really useful. Totally useful. The word that I learnt was something like this. Tenacious, flang, second-handed, and etc. Okay, I think I have written a long paragraph so, the point is that I planned and I achieved it. Oh! I can think some good quote for you guys. I think everyone know this quote. "Impossible is Nothing" - Ballack Obama. This will help you to understand this whole paragraph.

Okay, my first acheivement is.... wait! I think I will have to write a list rather than writing a sentence because it might be more tidy so.... let me write a list!

My plan for 2009, the hopeful year... ^^

-Brushing my teeth everyday so that there will be no carious tooth. (I had extremely hard time in dental clinic because of my tooth...)

-Speaking English more naturally. (I am having hard time, communicating with people... especailly with teachers...)

-Memorising more vocabulary to express my feeling more clearly. (This is one of my hard challenge...)

-Reading twenty English books which should be at least 200 pages long. (This will make my English way better!)

-Drinking less juice and soda. "Sigh..." (I think I am addicted at coke so...)

I think that's all... Not all but it is all things that is important. There is more but it's too many and that's not that important. I hope everyone will start to take a paper and a pencil. I hope to see everyone to fill out whole paper with challenges or what you want to achieve in this year.
