나를 얼마나 사랑하는지

(난 너무나 궁금한데...)

How much you love me
(I'm really curious)



a part of TVXQ's debut song: Hug.
I can't never get tired of it :)

and they say DBSK's Catch Me Tour will make a stop at Jakarta.

uh-oh!

(지나간) March 9

For three consecutive years, I have never forgotten to blog about March 9. For me, March 9 is very special--it's as special as March 3 :)

But this year I was sooo busy that I had no time to go online from my laptop T.T
Nah, maybe not that busy. But still it didn't change the fact I didn't blog on March 9 :/

So what happened on March 9 of 2013?

Jooyoung's and Yoohwan's 22nd birthday (international age), of course. And Taeyeon's 24th birthday.

Then?

Music Bank World Tour in Jakarta. LOL.

Sweet 21st

Today I (together with Dika) am officially 21.

Teenagers no more.
Two more semesters to graduate from undergraduate program.
어른이 된다.

and suddenly I remember the book 나는 아직, 어른이 되려면 멀었다.
and all my dreams and the song 풍선 and 지금이 아니면.

can I live the rest of my life well?
can I accomplish all my want-to-do list?

I can.
I believe I can.

because as long as I hold onto Him, He will be my power.
He will lead me to His way. The way.

Yonsei!

Ever seen the picture? Or heard about Yonsei University?

Yonsei University is the oldest university in Korea. It's the best private university and overall ranked second after Seoul National University.

That was the lines I said hundred times last week. I was working as interpreter at World Education Expo Indonesia, Feb 14-16 2012 in Balai Kartini. I work for Yonsei University's booth. There's a funny thing. My friend who worked for Korea University's booth also said the second sentence over and over to every visitors hahaha (Korea University and Yonsei University are rivals. Together with Seoul National University, the three are belong to SKY, the best universities in South Korea).

I don't know why but this photo makes me smile everytime I look at it.

This was taken by Clarissa's Galaxy Note when we went to Museum Wayang on our trip to Jakarta with PAS Korean Advanced class mentors. See the wall behind me? See the name Jan Pieterzoon Coen? Yeah, it is the Jan Pieterzoon Coen we Indonesian can find on our history books. That place was originally his tomb before it is moved to Museum Prasasti.

Was it because of the memories that day?

No, no. That day was unforgettable, of course, but not that super extraordinary unforgettable one.

Then why?

Just... just because.

.. SIAK NG

Ini problem yang selalu terjadi setiap masa pengisian Isian Rencana Studi secara online di Sistem Akademik milik Universitas Indonesia yang katanya sudah Next Generation ini. Pasti servernya ngedown.

Padahal katanya UI itu world class university.

Tapi server SIAKnya nggak pernah dibenerin. Digedein kek servernya. Zzz.

Hasilnya, setiap masa-masa pengisian IRS ini pasti kata-kata 'IRS', 'SIAK', 'SIAK NG' masuk ke trending topic Twitter --at least di Indonesia. Trus nanti temen-temen yang dari ITB, UGM, dan lain-lain berbondong-bondong ngetwit "Selamat berjuang ya teman-teman UI". Zzzz.

Bete ah pokoknya kalau ngomongin SIAK.

Padahal mulai semester kemarin, masa pengisian matakuliah wajib dan pilihan sudah dipisahkan. Hari ini baru masa pengisian matakuliah wajib. Tapi login ke SIAKnya udah susah banget. Gimana nanti pas pengisian matakuliah pilihan errrr.

Semoga suatu saat nanti pejabat tinggi UI ada yang terketuk hatinya untuk membenahi sistem SIAK ini, biar nggak tiap masa pengisian IRS topik-topik yang SIAK NG-related jadi trending topic di Twitter. Walaupun itu bisa dibilang 'prestasi', tapi kayaknya itu nggak membanggakan deh. Zzz.

Introducing you--

Lee Kwangmin

3 November 1989

Konkuk University

Indonesian class first day --with Aram and Soohyun too

When Kwangmin got doodled because his mentees always came late -- with Irna and Niken too

Today, Korean class last day -- finally, only Kwangmin and me! ;)

Truthfully I really wanted to pick him as my mentor on the first day, but... I was afraid many would pick him as well so the chance of me being his mentee was very slim. So I ended up picking another person. But it turned out that almost all of my friends thought the same way as I did so there were only two persons picked him, while there were so many (too many) persons picked another person (not the one whom I picked). Oh. You couldn't imagine how I regretted it so much. I still regret it up until now :'/

However, it's very nice to spend these two weeks with you, Kwangmin! :) 



P.S. I don't use honorific form to address him in this post because... just because ^^ But you readers shouldn't drop honorific form when you're talking to elders in Korean, okay!
