The other morning I was happy because it's the new year for us Muslims. I even managed to do my fasting for that victorious day. Then as I listens to the Athan on my phone that signals Maghrib and time for me to break my fast, I started to cry... On our new year's day, the most horrifying news arise about our fellow Muslims in Gaza. We should stop and think about what we have done in life.. if you're still alive while reading this and surrounded with comfort be thankful, because on the other side of the world there are people and families would trade for anything just to have 5 minutes of peace in life.

So, recently I've heard some news that my juniors are coming to Semyung. Finally!! a familiar language are coming to this small town of Jecheon. People are gonna freak out seeing more Malaysians and girls in hijab walking around town. Yippee~! I've also heard that some of the decisions hasn't been finalized yet. Coming from my experience, I know that during this time some people are going to change their mind at the very last minute. Which caused me being the only student from my campus that came here last semester. All I can say is that, I know that most people around you would ask about the difficulty to communicate with the locals in korea. It is hard to find locals who can speak at least basic english here, which will force you to learn the native language whether you like it or not. Then again that is actually the best thing about learning the language in it's own country . When you are surrounded with everybody talking in their native tongue unconcious...

So, it's the new year for us Muslims  and what more afdhal thing to do other than to fast on this victorious day (^_^) The thing we must not miss during fasting is the meal before the fasting hour starts, the Sahur~ I managed to whipped up my version of Korean-Instant-Nasi-Lemak. All I need was a microwave, korean instant cooked rice, korean seaweed mix, egg, and one essential ingredient, malaysian sambal ikan bilis ! hehe.. thank you Brahims! :D It was almost-like-10%-close to our Malaysian beloved meal,  but I don't mind because at least it was delicious! <3 I really love mixing my egg with my rice, especially if the yolk is still in liquid form. In this version of my Nasi lemak I decided to cook the eggs for like 50 seconds, and then mixed the cooked rice immediately in the egg so that the rice will get all moist with the yolk. Then microwave it again for like another 50seconds. Then I threw in the sambal on top and used the seaweed as the side "veg...

The snow came for like just 15minutes, it was about 6hours before this picture was taken, but the ice still remained frozen-hard on most of the cars here. I almost fell on my back on the way to my dorm because almost all the roads were covered in ice! There is like this big basketball court that I always walk through, just to get to the other side faster. But as I started walking it felt like walking on ice! The court was flat and smooth, with no friction what-so-ever, and I was already half way through. So, I forced myself to just continue walking like a geisha. The horrifying part was that there was no forms of rail or any support I could grab on to while walking on that court, just in case if I stumbled. So I was like, " ..just 10meters more, you can do it! you'll make it! don't fall damn it!! " My malaysian-shoes are so not made for winter.  Well, it did protect me from the cold, but not from falling.

The weather forecast told me it's going to rain today... but it didn't warned me about the SNOW that came along with it!!@#$% I still haven't got my winter coat and winter shoes (-_-!!)
