blossom @ korea

hii..
anyang he se yo..salam dr negara yg pnuh dgn smgt nasionalisme n jati diri yg tinggi..tabik spring ar. There are many thgs that v cud learn frm 'em..really lots..mayb post lpas nie sy akn jote down experiences join short course @ Republic Korea..just utk share wif kengkwn jer..

Along 13 days sy di sane..prinsip hidup diorg yg sy kagum. Antaranye..'intolerence of lateness' atau bahse mudahnyer 'punctuality'..they r really particular wif time management..xde istilah 'Janji Melayu' (even i really hate that phrase..). 1 more yg kite bleh blaja ialah 'resources are limited, creativity is unlimited'..bayangkanlah hw dis nation yg almost sebaye tempoh kemerdekaan dgn tanah air kiter dah maju bertapak-tapak than us..'Look East Policy'..dasar yg pd sy secara peribadinye amat bertepatan dan relevan..

Nie antara pics our 54th batch Executive Development Programme (EDP) yg dijayakan dgn kerjsm antara JPA & Central Official Training Institute (COTI), Rep Korea. (seems like INTAN ar klu nk banding ngan mesia)..Eventhough v all x pnah knal beforehand..tp alhamdulillah, everythg went smoothly n smue bg komitmen yg sepenuhnye. mmg gerek seh grup neh..ade yg shopaholic (eg kak lin, en ali, anne, juju etc..) hehe..ade yg suke wt joke (eg Mr Jul @ zul.."no need to call me')..mcm2 ar. Tempoh singkat perkenalan nie mampu mengeratkan hbgn kami..smoge perkenalan nie berkekalan smpi bile2..Gamsa Hamnida (Terima kasih :)

Korean sememangnye proud wif their unique & untouchable culture..colourful. di tengah2 kota metropolitan Seoul..ade 1 spot yg dikenali as Cultural Street mbawa kite ke dlm budaya korea..still fresh in my mind, aritu ms lpas lunch di seafood restaurant nearby (kekenyangan) while tgu bas nk sampai..tetibe lak segerombolan org yg bpakaian mcm citer kungfu lalu kt boulevard tue..so nice. (Kak lin kene spanked ngan that old man..haha).
Just 1 thg yg kene igt once pg korea..its HARD to find Halal restaurant ere..believe me!!luckily, d 1st week tue meals provided by COTI's cafe..(mknn sdap tue..)..then once daa moved out to Ambassador hotel (in d middle of Seoul), really susah nk cr meal..non other than ITAEWON..haha.tempat nie mmg SGT BEST. mcm2 bleh dpat kt sner esp survenirs..(pening kepale kene ensure hadiah ckp utk diagih2kan bl blk mesia..daa jd mcm santa claus lak)..kt cni harge brg2 sgt mahal. so klu shopping tue kene pk byk kali..cost of livin' kt cnie ke5 tertinggi di dunia..air mineral sebotol pn Won 1000 bersamaan RM3.00..isk3..

Hari ke4 kami dibawa ke Nanta Theatre..mule2 tue i'd no idea ape NANTA SHOW nie..tp dlm hati layan jer ar..tgk jer stage diorg tue "keciknye pentas..nk tgk show ape nie?amende byk sgt pisau, kitchen wardrobe nie.." hehe..frm my observation, ramai gak foreigners yg dtg..tmbh excited nk tgk. bl show daa start..up beat n layan gak muzik dia..rupe2 nyer show nie bkaitan chef, rhythm, music n dance..really energetic!!! camne ar 4 org performer nie bleh dpat stamina superb camni..mmg dr awal smpi akhir pn x bosan (mayb part yg awal2 jer bosan) hehe..mayb blum panas lagi kot..tp ape2 hal pn NANTA tetap best..

Sesungguhnye pengaruh shopping nie bjaye gak tumpaskan aku..asalnye bw 1 beg jer (daa mcm peti ais bgerak jer..haha)..tp dek kerana hasutan anne n juju..tepakse gak beli lg 1 beg lg..hehe (gune word 'tepakse' nie)..beli ngan harge Won40000..berbaloi gak ar beg tue. bleh ar gak bw pg Busan nnt.."gaga go se yo" merupakan ayat yg famous kitorg gune time bargain..mksdnyer discount please.....hehe

mase ni kami dibawa melawat our ambassador di Hillside..best dapat jumpe f2f n hv a chat wif him..
