...In the Name of ALLAH...


Winter break with another 5 days. At times like this, the urge to do things I like really is a ferocious attack, but as usual I don't manage to do everything perfectly as I wish. Too much nafsu in a female, as we can see. I have a loooong must-to-do list, meaning here a list of important things: study Japanese, study for Art class, study for next exams. I would encounter with the bolded word more often from now on. Also an in-class presentation about a Buddhist deity, Yakushi Buddha (?). The course is an Art class, but strange enough, I'm learning about Buddhism, Confucianism and a lot other religions (except Islam?). Uhuh...

I'm developing a high interest into Korean language here. Am watching a lot of YT videos, all concerning Korean this and that. Poor my Japanese, after my JPNL minor has finished, I really should take another class for a good practice but Advanced course is too hard! T___T

I haven't upload any picture from south/midwest roadtrip yet. Lot of pics to choose from. Maybe later. Sorry for those trip members whom are still waiting for the not-so-nicely-taken pics, haha.


for a tease pic. not in the pic: lan & aiman. sorry guys!

P/S: More stories of the roadtrip are revealed in pao's blog :)

...In the Name of ALLAH...

ALHAMDULILLAH!
All praises to HIM, for everything He prepares for us.

A phrase that made my heart skipped a beat: "...I am pleased to inform you that you have been selected to participate in the KIT 2010 summer exchange program." A dream comes true! Happy to read it, nervous (or excited?) to think whatever is awaiting for me ahead. Many stuff lingers in my head for now, even exam materials not enough to cover up the heavy clouds. I am making the decision and hope it will be the best for me.

Thank You ALLAH!~

I love Korean and Japanese languages very much. I take time to watch dramas, listening to songs, practicing in classes and with friends. Learning new languages is not easy, but it would not be too difficult if we keep practicing. That's the essence of learning foreign language.

Just feel like sharing my top list of Korean and Japanese drama/movies:
Korean:
- My Girl
- Spring Waltz (awesome OST!)
- Goong
- 18vs29
- My Lovely Samsoon
- Jewel in the Palace
- My Little Bride

Japanese:
- Love Letter
- Hana Yori Dango + sequels
- Long Vacation
- Tada Kimi wo Aishiteru
- Nodame Cantabile
- Proposal Daisakusen

This list should be longer, but enough for now. I love OSTs for these shows, they're too wonderful. Watching fictions somehow makes me happier, as if I can escape from reality to stop and enjoy another world from a particular perspective. Sometimes, I feel that immersing myself into dramas is better than keeping up-to-date with depressing current news in real world... at least they're not real. You can say, "What's the use to run away from reality? It will catch up to you in no time." You're right. You certainly can argue with me about this, well this is how I handle my stress. I get a point here, right? Guess so...*shrugs*

Can't wait to know the result for KIT application in few weeks, wonder if I get to go to Japan under the ticket of summer study abroad, or not? For you who read this, please PRAY for
the BEST for me. Thank you! ^.^
