Its been long since I have logged in! Weekends has been so busy with work and now next week its the mid term exams!! Its so ironic that I have my exams right now and you guys are relaxing over the holidays with the relief of exams ending. Mmm And we have like four days of holiday right now and when we go back to school its straight into exams. So wierd eh? In mas its exams first, then holidays. Ah I expected it to be much more different here anyway.

Somehow, I see familiarities between the students here and the students back at wms. In the aspect of who we hangout with differing from different classes, the cool, the average, the lame.

The cool guys are like the people who goes out to parties much, good at sport, into skateboarding or mountainbiking. And are mainly studs. The average class, including me and most of the asians, are plainly study people and doesnt go anywhere out of the school unless asked by friends. And involved heavily in music activities. the LAME, are those who get dissed much by people, mostly large in size, dumb and incapable of
sport, and often neglected.

Its not my judgement but of how it seems like around the school. Its sad seeing some people eating lunch alone, or sitting by himself in class, or when trying to talk to someone he gets spat in the face. Sometimes you just think, why dont we talk to that lonely guy over there? I'm grateful that the guys here are friendly and happy because i've made many friends, asians/kiwis. Some even plan to come visit my country at the end of the year! =D

Music and Movies

Korean music is actually quite good, especially like those rapping ones. They have nice beats and melody, unlike black rappers' music eg 50 cent kanye west, etc etc.go look up any of mc sniper songs on youtube, you'll like it.

Korean movies are funny too, if you see comedies. They mainly copy american pie's theme, like the movie circulates around a college then theres lots of teens fooling around. But the things they do are much different. go on limewire search, search for 'sex is zero' or 'who sleeps with her', they're funny korean movies.

till then!

Lighting a FIREPLACE!

Today I lit my very first fireplace! Facsinating thing, the fireplace is. You burn wood and newspaper inside and the whole room gets warm. Decided to make a post about it. haha.




First we like put alota newspaper and burned it, and put a few PINECONES in, and when it burns fiercely, we put in the firewood. Then theres this lever where you control the amount of air in and out. We want big fire, push lever down, small fire? lever up. haha. Interesting isn't it?
Here's a few pics




And sigh, school reopens tomorrow. School actually reopens on tues, but all boarders need to return on monday night. Another full 9 weeks, then two weeks of holidays. Ah, can't wait. Till then........Tally-ho!
