dinner & service with the cg peeps was good. :) was quite surprised when ps prince came to preach yesterday instead of letting us watch the pre recorded video. hehe. felt so loved by daddy God, that He gave me a live sermon & also that Pastor loves us too much to let us crane our necks to watch the video for the whole service (one screen blew). after dinner, tim sent me, dot & 2 others back. thank God for wonderful cluster ppl who live near me & who drive. hehe. :D and, i'm happy cause i'll get to go for CG this week! it's prolly gonna be at dot's place, which is super near my house. it's only a 5-10 min walk away! :D :D :D finally met up with jamaine after eons too. was great seeing her again. :)

i finally found my movie! A Promise. i've been searching high & low for it on the net, but to no avail. but i managed to find it on ebay yesterday night!! yippee. both jae hee & lee da hae r coming out with a new dramas! 마녀유희 & 헬로우애기씨. can't wait! they'll be airing ard the same time. i think i'll restrain myself from watching till after my exams. anw, only 2 epis will be out per week. i'll just d/l everything at one shot after the exams. or i'll just get the DVDs. :D

life is good.

i believe that we all go through a lull period in our lives. times whereby we just wonder what on earth we're doing everything for, why we're working so hard. slacking's the 1st thing on our mind. this sem has kinda just floated by, without me even knowing how & why. sometimes, i really wonder what 2nd class honours can do for me. is it even worth it? many ppl have told me that for acct, honours is not that impt. i dunno. i really dunno. i've gotten sick of studying & studying. it's akin to a never ending cycle.

this song playing on itunes, however, just reminded me once again of God's amazing grace & love for me.

Amazing grace, how sweet the sound
Amazing love, now flowing down
From hands and feet, that were nailed to the tree
As grace flows down and covers me

It covers me
It covers me
It covers me
And covers me


i know that my Abba will take care of everything for me. just like He has done for my entire uni life. gonna continue to rest in Him & His love for me.

sometimes, we just need to be reminded.......................

looking forward to my CG's 'reunion dinner' tomorrow. :) going for 4th! :D

미안해야 하는거니 - 에즈원

미안한거니 미안해야 하는거니
널 사랑하게 돼버린 거
내 사랑이 널
많이 힘들게
한다는 걸 알면서도

아직도 보내지도 못하고 있어
이런 날 이해한다면
조금만 나 더
운다고 해도
나 용서해 잠시만 더

아니라고 안된다고
내 눈을 가려도 너는
있었고함께해서~
아파하며
살아도 그것만으로
행복했어

내 두귀를 다 막아 듣지 않아도
언제나 내게 말을했고
지워지지
않는다면
이젠 정말 사랑하고 싶어

아니라고 안된다고
내 눈을 가려도 너는
있었고함께해서~
아파하며
살아도 그것만으로
행복했어 (x2)

제노래를 정말 춯아해!

응급실-lzi (쾌걸춘향 OST)

후회하고 있어요
우리 다투던 그날
괜한 자존심 때문에
끝내자고 말을 해버린거야

금방 볼줄 알았어
날 찾길 바랬어
허나 며칠이 지나도
아무소식 조차 없어

항상 내게 너무 잘해줘서
쉽게 생각했나봐
이젠 알아 내 고집때문에
힘들었던 너를

이바보야 진짜 아니야
아직도 나를 그렇게 몰라
너를 가진 사랑 나밖에 없는데
제발 나를 떠나가지마

언제라도 내편이 되준 너
고마운줄 모르고
철없이 나 멋대로 한거
용서할수 없니

이바보야 진짜 아니야
아직도 나를 그렇게 몰라
너를 가진 사랑 나 밖에 없는데
제발 나를 떠나가지마

너 하나만 사랑하는데
이대로 나를 두고가지마
나를 버리지마 그냥 꼭 안아줘
다시 사랑 하게 돌아와
쾌걸춘형을 정말 멌있어요! 이게 이야기를 기금 재미있어요. 제 십오하고 십육하고 십칠화 보고 싶어요. 하지만 네일 외할머님집에 가요. 그래서 안 봐요. :(

오늘 저는 둔을 많이에요. 하하. 행복에요.

잘아요!

i've been v good lately. by that i mean that i've not spent any $$ on online shopping. i think i haven't bought anything online since january. yeap. wai shan can't believe it though. haha. she gave me till march before i start spending again. anw, the clothes online are getting quite blah. not really interested anymore. unless its really really nice.

phase 1 results are out! wai shan's happy cause she got into KPMG. hehe. i'm still waiting for CAAS & Credit Suisse to call. they're taking so long.... i think quite a few other companies haven't informed the school yet. i keep checking my phone to see if i've a missed call or something. a little paranoid now. shiyin got a missed call & she didn't call back. turns out it was from Ernst & Young. she only found out like 5 days later. and because of that, she didn't get shortlisted. so unfair! yeah. so if u guys have any missed calls, always call back! it might be something impt.

tomorrow's CNY eve! and i'm going kster with wai shan. hehe. we wanted to go kbox in btw lessons today, but we were too late. :( so we ended up eating LJS @ Jurong Ent Center before going back to sch. i wanted to ice skate.. but wai shan said that she was damn cold... shdn't have gone back to sch. so many ppl pon-ed 205 la. and i didn't read the J&J case. so had to keep looking @ the table so that boo wouldn't call on me.. hehe.

looking forward to my long weekend! :D:D:D:D

화요일, 2월 13, 2007

내일 수요일 이에요. 저는 학교에 안 가고싶어요. 정말 심심해요. 오늘 저는 선생님이 교실에서 조소해요! :( 안춯아해요! 그 선생님 매수업을 조소해요!!! 아~~~~~~! 진자 쩔쩔매게 하는!! 어떻게??? 저 는 휴가를 빠리 오고 싶어요! 그럼.

일요일, 2월 11, 2007

seems like everyone around me's going global. joyce in texas, christine to the UK, pris to spain, esther to canada, debbie to the US? my hands are itching to pack my bags & leave too. not that i don't like SG, but sometimes, its good to get away from it all. the surreality of going overseas is just too magical, too good to be true. everything looks different somehow. even plain ole' porridge just tastes so good. i eagerly await my turn to step into the terminal, board the plane & fly. perhaps that's why i've always been so enamoured with planes & the airport. they have the ability to transport us to a different place, a different time. the cool crisp night air soothes me, prepares me, even as i get ready to begin another week of school. it's nature at its best. the faint humming of insects as i type busily on my keyboard is almost theraputic.

& so, the 6th week of school begins.....

행복하길바래 - 임형주

그 눈속에서 너는 또 다른곳을 보며 울었어
그러는 니가 너무 미워서 나도 따라 울었어

그리워 난 니가 너무 찢기도록 나 아파도
나 죽어서도 내 사랑으로 너 행복하길바래

힘이들어 돌아보면 나 거기에 늘 있는건
그 곳에다 남겨두고온 니 눈물 때문에

나 떠난 자리에 널 혼자 둘 수 없어 있었던게
이제는 널 너무 사랑해 갈 수 없는 이유됐어

그리워 난 니가 너무 찢기도록 나 아파도
나 죽어서도 내 사랑으로 너 행복하길바래

너 행복하길바래 행복하길바래

목요일, 2월 08, 2007

i'm going to eat 불고기 with wai shan씨 tomorrow! hehe. so fun. today's test was ok. not too bad. and we had drawing in class. almost like art back in primary school. and level 3's gonna start soon!! yay! guess i'll have to go for the thurs class since zhixun says that he has CG on friday. oh well. pam also wants thurs too.

and i'm finally free on thurs! completed AB228A at last. :D will have to head to sch next mon. need to buy the textbook for imagining singapore. mustn't be lazy next week. hehe. but i feel much more rested this week. i guess its thanks to me skipping 2 days of sch. thus effectively having an unofficial 3 day week. :P

i think kids these days r getting to be quite rude. i was in Subway today eating before class. 2 girls(sec/jc) were sitting at the table in front of me. 2 tables were joined together so that there were 4 seats available. the girls put their bags on the chair next to them & got up to order their meal. so the table that they just vacated was available since there was nothing there. 2 ladies, 1 pregnant (if i may add), came and took the seats. i don't blame them since the seats were available. so after the ladies put their bags & all on the table & chairs, they went to place their order. the 2 girls came back & guess what they did? they moved the ladies' stuff to the table next to theirs! i mean, how rude can you get?? the seat is so obviously not taken and they have the cheek to come back & claim the table as theirs when it's already reserved! the ladies made a fuss when they came back to find their stuff moved. i mean, who wouldn't? i don't like strangers touching my things either! kids really need to learn some manners.

and and and. i musn't forget this. i was on the train this morning. it was packed as usual. had to stand all the way to Raffles Place before i finally got a seat. However, i sat next to this uncle who had an annoying habit of shaking his right leg. He actually shaked his leg all the way from Raffles Place to Boon Lay!!!!!! urgh. shake shake shake. it's v irritating, not to mention unsightly. mini earthquake happening right next to me. *bleah*

wow.. didn't know that 선생님 used to teach the piano! hehe. found this article online!

[b][u]因为韩剧 努力学韩文[/b][/u]


来自韩国的韩文老师裴炫灵(左), 发掘陈瑞琴(右) 当教师助理 [我报照片]

原本只是纯粹为了兴趣而上课学韩文,但陈瑞琴的学习成绩突飞猛进,在短短两年内脱离学生的身份,摇身变成了教师助理 (teacher assistant)!
28岁的陈瑞琴怎么也没想到,她在教室里的视野会从“坐椅子上抬头望老师”变成“站着低头看学生”。
在环境与水源部服务的陈瑞琴2004年初开始学习韩文。在这之前,她已经受到韩国文化的影响,这多亏电视台播放韩国电视剧。
“影响最深刻的当然是优频道播出的《秋天的童话》和《冬季恋歌》。我后来到韩国去旅行,耳朵听见的都是韩语,觉得很新鲜,很有趣,结果就这样对韩文着了迷。
回来新加坡之后,她积极寻找适合的课程,觉得NUS Extension的课程内容似乎不错,让对韩文一窍不通的她下定决心上课学习。
由于课程是每星期一次,因此陈瑞琴课余时间也督促自己多多复习。“就像是学习任何新的语言一样,我得用心把词汇和文法都记下。
“韩文的文法尤其困难,因为它和我们惯用的英文和华文很不一样,一时有点难以上手。不过渐渐的,我也习惯了以韩文来思考,读韩文和说韩语的速度自然也就越来越快。”

一年半升格教师助理

既然是由流行文化带进门,学习的时候又怎么能少了流行文化的帮忙呢?
“多看韩国电视剧和电影,多听韩国流行歌曲,绝对是由帮助的,可以当作是温习,寻找熟悉的单字。刚开始学习时,看电视剧还得依赖字幕才能了解剧情,现在已经不需要了。”
陈瑞琴在一年半里上了六个课程,从初级班到高级班,出色的学习表现获得师长的认同。
“老师后来问我,是否有兴趣在课堂上帮忙她。我觉得蛮有趣的,所以就答应了。我主要是帮忙初级班,老师在教室前面讲解的时候,我就负责在教室里走动,看有哪些学生需要帮忙,然后第一时间提供援助。”
“当了教师助理之后才发现,原来我自己开始学韩文的时候,表现也是这么差劲的。我自己也是过来人,所以比较容易理解学生面对的问题,比较容易给与指导。”

韩文教师裴炫炅:新加坡学生相当棒

发掘陈瑞琴当教师助理的,是来自韩国的韩文老师裴炫炅。
38岁的裴炫炅出身教师家庭,其他家庭成员在韩国都当教师,原本只是她一个人不是。她在首都首尔(Seoul)的美国大使馆工作,负责教钢琴。
美国政府派到韩国的高层人员,都在大使馆里上韩文课,负责教学的是美国中央情报局(CIA)派出的教师。接触多了,竟然就勾起了裴炫炅的教学兴趣。
她后来嫁给一名旅居新加坡的马来西亚华人,因此随丈夫在我国定居。一开始,她在私人学校授课,过后才转到NUS Extension,前后教学长达七年。
“老实说,新加坡学生还真的是相当棒,并不是很难教。新加坡人平时就接触很多方言,同其他国家的人相比,学韩文会比较容易上手。
“这是因为韩文中有70%的词汇是从古汉语而来的,中国方言也保留了古汉语的许多词汇。”
不过,有好当然也有坏。“我的学生有很多都是上班族,一整天下来都忙坏了,没什么时间,所以有时会出现无法交功课的情况。

引进韩文系统教学法

对于韩文教学,裴炫炅有她一定的坚持。即使本身是韩国人,她仍固定每天进修相关的内容,学习多一些,好让自己能更好地教导学生。
她也相信是本地第一名引进韩文系统教学的教师。“我刚开始授课时发现,其他韩文教师都是简单地以一些课本教导学生,不是很有系统。”
她过后花时间研究,并设计出课程分级和不同的单元课,沿用至今。
裴炫炅还自己编写教材,并且已经结集成书,由Singapore University Press出版。首版600本在短短的半年内就都售买完了,接下来将会进行重印。
