Depressing weather

Hi guys!....How are you all doing??
I just wanna share my feeling about the weather these days lately. It has been really cold outside for weeks. If there were Sun light, it would be okay for me. Mist, cold, and windy, it's just such a depressing weather. It is hard for me to get up early lately while I need to be at the IELP office at 8 in the morning. I hope tomorrow will be better.
Here is a picture of the weather I experienced on my way home :

May Queen

This is one of the best Korean drama I've ever seen. It is very long drama but worth to watch. It has 33 episodes.

and below is the soundtrack

Welcome Ceremony

Today, we had a welcome ceremony in the University Center. We were asked to introduce our selves one by one, and there were 100 students. You can imagine how long it took for the introduction only. Then we had lunch. The food that was served was really good. We had, green beans, mashed potatoes, beef broth sauce, fried catfish fillets, juices, cookies (I love it)...

This what our Uni Center looks like

Oh ya. Of all the students, more than 50% are Saudis (is it correct?Saudis? I'm sorry if I'm wrong). I don't know why there are lot of students from Saudi Arabia. Coming to IELP is like going to Saudi Arabia. I think there will be an Arabic class this session which will teach us how to speak and write in Arabic...or maybe they should change the Uni's name in to University of Saudi Arabia....haha just kidding....what I like from them is they are so friendly.... Nice to have new friends from Saudi Arabia.... :D

Cheongdamdong Alice

It is a very funny Korean drama..Must see!!
Below is the soundtrack:

First day

Today is the first day IELP CLasses begin. I have 3 new students from Honduras, Senegal and Thailand. Yeaaaayy finally there is a student from Thailand. I hope I can practice my Thai. Sawasdee khrap.....Sabai dee mai?? :D

Jokes...can you answer it?

A chicken walked on the wall then fell down....why?


 then a Lion sat near the wall laughed suddenly.....why?

Work at IELP Office

Last Thursday January 10th, was my first day working at IELP Office. Working at the office is really fun. I can meet great teachers and new students from around the world at the office. Yesterday we had an orientation and me with Eric explained little bit about the campus to them. Oh ya, I met 2 students from Thailand. YEaaaaayyy... I can practice my Thai then!!! Yesterday, I heard them talking in Thai made me miss Bangkok very much. Phom kidtheung Khrungthep mak mak!!

New Year

Hey...It's me again.. I know it's too late to post my writing about New Year. It's already the 12th of January. Im gonna write it anyway. :D At December 31st. I asked my Asian friends where they were gonna go to spend on the new year eve. They told me that they didnt have any idea for it. One of them also didnt have a car and the other one's car was broken, so what could they do was staying at home. Well, Im not the guy who wants to spend time staying at home on the new year eve. So, I planned to go to the riverwalk, and they all agreed. I told them to meet up at the riverwalk at 8 pm because I was afraid that I couldnt had found parking space if I had come later. My thought was based on my new year eve experience in Jakarta. I couldnt find parking space though I came to Grand Indonesia at 7PM. Isnt it insane?..and unfortunately here was otherwise.. I didnt have to worry about that. I arrived at 07:30PM and there were lots of spaces to park my car. Well, I have 4 hours and 30 minutes left and I didnt know what to do. Then my Japanese friends came. We walked along the riverwalk then went to Cafe du Monde. I bought a hot chocolate drink and it tasted really good. Then we continued to walk to a Japanese restaurant name I forgot haha....We ordered 2 Karage, Takoyaki and another one I cant remember it all...After we finished our dinner we walked back to the river walk then I just realized that it was quite far from river to the restaurant and then walked back to river walk again. It was fun however. When it was time for the fireworks begin, everybody shouted HAPPY NEW YEAR!!...the fireworks were everywhere and they were awesome. It was a beautiful night....and the 2nd best new year I;ve ever had,,,, HAPPY NEW YEAR guys!! I will upload some picts later....
