From South Korea with Love.


14. this date is really crucial in South Korea. Facts:


February 14th: Valentine's Day.

yeah, everyone know this day. On this day, girls would give chocolate to the boys they like/love.

March 14th: White Day.

White Day is also observed in South Korea with the men paying back women who have given them chocolate on Valentine's Day with usually candy instead of chocolate, with an additional later Black Day observed for those sharing singleness.

April 14th: Black Day

Black Day (April 14) is a South Korean informal tradition for single people to get together and eat jajangmyeon (noodles with black bean sauce); sometimes a white sauce is mixed for those who did not celebrate White Day.
The idea is that those who did not give or receive gifts on Valentine's Day (February 14) or White Day (March 14) can get together and eat jajangmyeon, white Korean noodles with black bean sauce, to celebrate their singledom.

May 14th: Yellow Day

well, i'm not really sure about this one, but my friend on twitter told me about this.

"When single people eat curry to celebrate their single-ness"

Halo semua. Guess what? Hari ini ulang tahun saya loh. Saya gak pernah menyangka hari ulang tahun itu bisa se-membahagiakan ini. Hari ini saya bener-bener ngerasa bahagia, serasa kaya mimpi. Persis kaya habis nonton konser.  Pertama, ayah dan bunda, bener-bener bikin gue terharu. Selama 8 tahun belakangan saya sudah gak pernah ngerayain ulang tahun lagi. Bahkan seringnya mereka gak inget kalau 28 September itu saya ulang tahun. Tahun-tahun kemarin sih biasanya mereka baru ingat malam-malam setelah gue kasih kode =)) Dan tiba-tiba tanggal 27 kemarin pas pulang sekolah, tiba-tiba bunda ngomongin tentang mau ngerayain ulang tahun saya yang ke 17 ini. Ya meskipun cuma potong kue dan makan-makan di rumah sama temen-temen deket sih. Diam-diam si bunda udah sms temen-temen deket saya biar pada datang hari ini, udah gitu ternyata mereka udah liat-liat kue di holl4nd bak3ry sama supermarket :") Tapi saya sedikit kecewa juga, yang datang jumlahnya bisa dihitung pakai jari-jari tanga...

My 2020 Pekanbaru Trip (Mostly Food Pics!)

Image
 Hello everyone! Wow, it's been a long time since my last post isn't it? Well, in this post I just wanna share my culinary experiences from my trip to Pekanbaru, last month. I stayed there from 10th - 17th August. It was for work. (as I've stated in my previous post, I work as a Revit instructor, and I went there to conduct a training for a company) So, here are the pics and some stories from the trip: First day, here's a pic that I took from my lunch at the airport while waiting for my flight to Pekanbaru. It's Curry Mee from OldTown White Coffee. One word: Delish. After arriving at Dafam Hotel Pekanbaru, I went straight to the shower and took a short nap. After Maghrib, I was starting to feel hungry so I went downstairs to the hotel lobby and found out that the hotel has this kinda open simple bar, and it has karaoke system. So if there were people at the receptionist waiting to check in or out, they would hear people sing loudly from this bar.  Long story short, ...

Teaching?

Hellooooo So, in my previous blog posts, i've mentioned that i've got a job. Oh, and if i didn't explain about my job, here it is. My title is an Application Engineer. At first I also didn't understand the job description. Long story short, I got this job (and actually I'm already into the 13 months of this job), and I learnt that my main job is to conduct trainings in revit and BIM. I was a quite shy person so it's actually really uncomfortable for me to speak in front of many people. But probably a little part of it has changed since i entered university. Just a little part. So if you imagine, my first time teaching Revit in my office was a big milestone for me. Oh, and i remember that time, a well-known architect who is also my manager's close friend also attended my class. Yeah, you guess it right. I WAS DEAD SCARED. My first time was pretty painful, but thankfully my 2 coworkers helped me from the back of the room. Since that day, i thou...
