It’s 1am now and I’m really really tired after a long day! But it was a wonderful and awesome day as we had our 1st official session for our korean-english language exchange meetup 😀
I’m glad to finally meet creativityjapanese and starxblinded who I’ve been corresponding with online. (: It was a great get-together and all of us had loads of fun.
Lunch at crystal jade was good and the Koreans got to experience our way of celebrating Chinese New Year/설날, which includes yusheng and other chinese dishes. We bonded even more during coffee session afterwards (: Some of us stayed on and went to MBS to walk around and had dinner in marina square!
We learnt alot about each other’s cultures and it was a good time to clear queries / things that we have been curious about etc. ^^
p.s. I’m the photographer so I’m not in the pic! ^^
For more pics, please visit our facebook page! We’ll be planning a second meetup very soon 😀 Details will be posted on this blog and the fb page once it’s out!
p.p.s i’m really uninspired to blog so forgive the bad writing!

6 February, 2011 at 8:32 AMHi Shanna! Thank you SO much for organizing the meetup! I’m actually really glad to have finally met you. Though we didn’t talk so much during this meetup but I learned a great deal from your small gestures!
Take good care! And I’m going to study Korean harder so that I can understand more of it! ^^

7 February, 2011 at 9:57 AMYep, indeed~ Or maybe I’m just being “Japanese” or “Korean” about the small gestures. LOL~ Anyway, you are so modest, yet so ever hardworking in your pursuit in improving your Korean that I have to say that it has a positive spillover effect on me! I’m going to work hard for my Japanese! And yes~ also Korean, so that I can talk to you in Korean. ^^

9 February, 2011 at 3:18 AMHaha, I don’t think jealousy even begins to describe what I feel about not being able to go. I’m glad your first meet-up was a success, though. ^^
