Everyday life in Korea

Haha i'm getting lazy to blog nowadays.. I guess it's because of the assignments that has been pilling up my desk last week.. Finally during the last weekend i decided to sit down and just focus on my assignments.. Rainy days here in Korea is different from Malaysia.. Here when it rains it rains the whole day.. And all i can do is just sit in my dorm and do nothing.. hahahah....

rain rain, go away... Rainy days do influence my mood.. Just feeling like sleeping. Emotionally down... But i'm alright now.. ^^

This is what i had on Saturday.. Tuna Kimbab and cheese burger..


So is basically like sushi. Filled with tuna, raddish, rice, and crab stick... IT's quite filling...

Didn't know korean burger taste as nice as Macdonald...

Had Bible study on Sunday after church.. The biggest group after 2 months of having it..

The guy from Tanzania, Sam. Our Bible study leader.. with other students..

We had shabu shabu that day.. Didn't take pictures cause i've taken it last time...

Decided to try pizza during one of the days.. Because they said it was quite delicious.. But it was just fine.. Nothing great about it.. This is cheap pizza so ya can't expect much of it.. Paid RM12 for 2 pizzas..

Potato cheese pizza...

Pepperoni pizza.. Oh no i think i spelled it wrongly.. hahha..

2 hungry people waiting to eat the pizza... hahaha..



Some rare chocolate which is quite hard to find in Korea. only available in Jeju.. Some island in Korea which is super duper far away..

Cactus Chocolate?

Orange Chocolate? i wonder how both of them taste like.. havne't open ceremony yet.. haha..



This is what i've been doing the past weekend.. Studying..

Can I be a good persuasive person in the future?

Think think think..


Had western food buffet during one of the days.. My friend treated me because i helped him with his assignments.. It's ok for Korean standard but it's not worth it for the price.. Paid almost RM50 for this buffet..

Stuffing all we can in our mouth...

Ashley.. Apparently they're famous for their cheese cake..

My dish filled with food.. DOn't ask me what did i ate cause i seriously can't remember.. haha..

Wild mushroom soup..

Our filled tummies.. Wanted to eat more but couldn't.. I guess we were too hungry before that till we became full.. haha.. rating for this restaurant? 6/10..

The taste was fine.. But the varieties of dishes are just too little.. I miss malaysian buffet!!

3 more weeks and i'll be back in Malaysia.. 3 more weeks Isaac!! You can do it!!! wohoo!!! :)

An unexpected God.

God surely works His way which sometimes we do not even understand. I prayed a prayer, I asked God to teach me to control my anger. In fact He did in His own ways. I really didnt' see it coming. Rather than God removing the anger from my heart which i know it is quite impossible, He gave me more trials and challenges which tested me emotionally. For the past few days I've been so consumed with anger, grudge, and hatred because things are not going the way I've expected it to be. The truth indeed hurts and sometimes it sucks, because it may not how I want it to be.

In church today, I was reminded again, that our prayers, there are either answered, not answered or we have to wait until it gets answered. I assumed that God didn't answer my prayer to control my anger. I complained and was so fustrated by all the challenges He has given me that generated more and more of my anger. Thankfully I've learned a lot through the video above and also through the sermon. Who said that a life following Jesus would be easy? Who said it would be easier? In fact, it can be harder too. There are many examples in the Bible where we see Christians leaders suffered so much for Christ. Take for example Stephen in the book of Acts. He was called by God to do beyond what he was supposed to do, which was to give food to the widows. Instead he spread the gospel in Samaria, perform miraculous signs and wonders and proclaimed the name of the Lord. A disciple named Philip went out all the way and spread the Good news even to people who were not of the same culture. Philip even baptised an eunuch( a guy without private parts), which is not allowed in the Jewish culture during that time.

God speaks to us with the help of the Holy Spirit. There are times where i complained so much about why such things should happen. But now I believe that everything happens for a reason. It may not what i wish to see now or in the near future. But it's certainly in the big picture like how God wants it to be.

Daryll, thanks for the verse you've given me yesterday. It really helped me a lot in the situation I'm in now. I really needed that. It's taken from 2 Corinthians 12:9-10. It is written: But he said to me, " My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power my rest on me.

My weaknesses has certainly been exposed for the past 2 days. I'm really sorry if i raged my anger at whosoever, whatsoever and for whatever reason. I know i've been releasing a lot to a certain person, u know who you are and i'm terribly sorry. But that's a weakness which i'm trying my very best to work on. It's not gonna be easy but life is a learning process.

I hope this post will somehow manage to speak to some of you out there. Be careful what you pray for. God may answer it in a way you least expected. But remember, God's plan is to prosper you and not to harm you. The whole picture will be revealed in the future to you. God bless.

Walking in the light

Today is really a reflecting day to me. Wrote 2 e-mails which i've never thought of writing but ended up writing. I guess i want to be walking in the light and not have a double life anymore. I want to be the same in anyplace. I want to be who i am to whoever i'm with without having to have 2 attitudes. So yeah..

Had student festival for the past 3 days. It was so so. Not to great.. It's new to me but i really expected it to be better.. maybe i had too much expectation for the event. But the great news is all my classes during the afternoon from wed-fri is cancelled!! wohoo!!

Can't wait to go home!! another 5 weeks and i'll be home in Malaysia!!!! yes yes yes!
