korean culture
oHH noo.....i've been fooLLedd when it's not April...or have i really?
Got one foot in that country with many mountains-for-prayer now......in my mind of course....but soon it will be reality. Thank God my dear friend has forgiven me, this really precious gal pal of mine. I didn't imagine how wonderful her friendship was.....till we fought. The tone, the accusations hurled, all that rudeness, then the silences, and finally, the weird feeling when you realise, "Oh man, that might be the end of a great friendship!! NO way!!"
That's life of course, never easy dealing with these difficult issues especially friendships. let alone, what, BGR? Oh man........whatever it is, be glad in whatever trials or seasons in life God calls...I'm glad I'm in my present season.
Kimberly, wakeneth up thyy daydreams. Anyway, this two weeks was hardship. It was such a torturous week adjusting my normal horrible routine to one that was more inslusive of God and what He wants. Preparing for eleven days of a non-holiday. It's not gonna be a holiday. I'm serious.....!!
Good weather would be bonus...but that's not as iMpOrTaNt as the PeoPlez present there. From Koreans to Singaporeans, I don't think it's easy to adapt to language and culture both ways.
Hhave learnt to like those primary school korean kids and hope to meet grown-up korean kids in the place i am going to... hahaha. if u want special stuff from korea, sms or call me. no promises but will do my best to find some substitute if cant find the exact thingy wanted.
1) 1pm class has ended this week...
2) taught twice this girl Pr 4 math. (her name is Kim Soo Yong, how ironic!!)

equador in orchard
There were EQuaDoriaNs in Orchard Road...spotted today!!basking, mellow music....
with Red indian hats
(red indians are not related to their culture at all, dunno why they had them on display)
What are these people: From Equador, the jungles which Jim Elliot's and team (during 1950s) reached out to that caused he and the team's deaths.
What are their beliefs: Christianity, because after they killed the missionary Jim and the team of men who were reaching out to them, their wives still went back to reach out to these people and they were so touched i think, that they decided to believe in God.
I asked what religion was their country and one of the men at the side replied "Christianity".....
And coincidentally i'm reading "Through gates of splendour" by Elizabeth elliot. that is one fantastic book.
