What do i do when i feel down?

I need to laugh. The saying that says laughter is the best medicine? Yep, it works for me. That's the thing about me. I don't easily confide my problems, hence I keep to myself alot. And since I don't get the problems off my chest, something else needs to be released. Or else my head would get messed up.

I'll drink wine, yes, even at home. I can sip wine while I type away at my laptop. It relaxes my mind.

I'll tune in to 98.7fm at night, when 'Muttons till midnight' is on. They cheered me up the most at my lowest.

Watch korean variety shows on youtube. I am amazed at the creativity of Koreans, the standard of entertainment is something that Singapore Variety shows can never perform up to.
So here's something that I found today -- badminton at its best. They played badminton with huge-ass rackets, spatula and different weird sizes.

The progress of my Korean Language learning path

Some of you may know, that I have took up an elementary Korean Language course. How is my progress so far?

So far so good. I have learn to recognise the fundamentals of the Hangul characters; the consonants & the basic vowels and some simple phrases. I still rely on the romanization very much when I read, because the Hangul characters need more time for my brain to process it individually. Attending classes is only a way to build on my foundation, a lot more comes from what I do outside those classes. Naturally, I have once again rely on the Internet for resources to add on to my learning. (I cannot emphasize enough how important Internet is to me)

So if you are reading my blog now, and is also a Korean beginner like me, congrats! I have listed below some of the useful Internet resources I found. And since I found them useful, I hope you will too. (I am not affiliated with any of them, it is purely personal recommendation.)

1. http://www.koreanclass101.com - I strongly urge you to sign up for the trial, its really good. I downloaded many of their podcasts and accompanying PDF notes onto my itouch and found the lessons both educational and entertaining.

3. http://asiaenglish.visitkorea.or.kr - Official Korean Tourism website. This contains useful lessons for common phrases you might use when you visit Korea. The lessons are done in flash so its not too wordy and yet interactive.

Good things are meant to be shared, spread the word!

안녕하 세 요

That's the basic formal greetings, an nyeong ha se yeo. Learning a new language is fun...! Suddenly, I have the ambition to speak many languages/ dialects.

English, Mandarin, Korean, next is Cantonese and Hokkien, followed by Japanese and Malay. I will be a Superstar translator in Asia.
