3 weeks in Korea

Well I’m in South Korea right now after days of waiting and getting all of my papers done and get a visa to go to South Korea. It’s been nearly a month since I was here and I mean, dammit I am so happy for every moment when I am here. I enjoy here so much and I love everything here, from the streets with full of restaurants and they’re all light up even if it’s 2 or 3 am, the Korean people walking on the street and talking noisily, to the Asian atmosphere with a little dust and dirtiness but the feelings are so familiar.

Furthermore, I did a lot of things in this three weeks here. I met a lot of Koreans and they’re really nice to me, they didn’t feel awkward but they’re really nice and friendly. They helped me a lot also, together with some crazy exchange students here. Also, I have been to many Korean music shows such as The Show and I had been to one concert in Seoul and I was really lucky because I saw so many popular Korean idols with VIP ticket (which was so close to the stage and you could actually see the idols’ sweat). I had a chance to see SHINee, B.A.P, B2ST, Wonder Girls, TWICE, … When a lot of Korean friends of mine couldn’t have a chance to see those idols. I went to so many events and music shows when I had a chance, because I only live here for only 1 year so I can experience everything and I promise not miss any chance again (Today I missed the Chungcheon trip because I didn’t set the alarm at 6am and yesterday I missed Music Bank just because I thought that there would be performances just like The Show but yesterday show was actually really different) *I’m crying huhu*

However, I still have more chances to visit places and go to events because one of my friend here said “Seoul is ours” and my bro said “You’re living in Seoul, so think less and play more man” Yeah I have been thinking too much about it and I should have spent those time planning to go to more places. However, I have to study harder and harder because I want to get good grades, and I want to go to places in Seoul and in other cities also to hang out and visit landmarks with Korean food haha. One more thing is that I was a member of the street dance club and I actually had a great time there, so I think I will stick with this club for one year. Those members in the club were really friendly and they’re cute also.

It’s been three weeks since I was here at the 1st day and I really want to visit more, play harder and study as hard as hanging out too because “I am living in Seoul and I don’t want to miss anything, just think less and play hard, work hard”. I think will update my situation here quite often because I have so many things to write about and I am so excited to discover new things and new places also.

A little update about my living here. 11/4/2016

So… I have been accepted to go to exchange study in Korea. What a beautiful day of my life. I think, after 2 years of spending time studying in boredom and I couldn’t know how to escape from that and right now, I can move to Korea to spend a whole year there studying, refreshing myself and eating lots of good food. I just cannot imagine how life can bring me such a good opportunity and I will take it for sure. Now I just have to wait for my summer job, if it’s done also, I will have nothing to regret about. Right now I’m on the process of ending my 2nd year. Yeah a little bit of disappointed when I couldn’t have the best knowledge to do things and I was scolded by my classmate, my brother that I always respect. I need to work harder to achieve my goals here. Moreover, I should study Korean so not to feeling strange here because Korea has a very different kind of language with us so I really should get used to knowing the word. Also now I’m having a new keyboard and I should have it right now because it’s a cheap deal and I’m still get used to typing this keyboard with struggling, but I think I can manage it well, it’s not so hard to manage it I suppose. Yeah I’m doing my resit exam on 15th Apr, I should at least get a 2 to higher up my score into 4, and then I would be free from pressures and stresses. Everything seems fine I guess and right now I don’t have so much things to worry about, just wanna live with this life with full expectations is okay. Because I know in the next 4 months, I will be in Korea for a whole year and I know I have to spend my time well there. Just half of the month more and I will complete my 2nd year. How gr8 is that? :3

Yeah still waiting for my summer job and preparing for the resit exam.

A detritus… Once again

Just wanna write something after finishing the assignment for tomorrow test. Nothing’s special… just a little bit confusing and exhausted right now. I handed over the application for exchange study two days ago and it was good to be true. Well then I found out that some of my friends who are also interested in studying in Korea as well, at that time, I was a little bit worried because I was sure that the chance of getting admitted in the Korean school is less, so I had to write a cover letter to express my motivation into that Korean school and well…let’s just wait until that then. However, I have to wait for at least 2 months to get the result, and if I get admitted into the school but with some of them, I won’t be happy that much because I want to go to Korea because I want to escape from the ruin and chaotic situation here. Yeah well right now I don’t really have any more motivation than just go to Korea and continue to study there for a whole year and experience new things. I know that everything will have pros and cons but just don’t care and keep moving on, that’s okay. I used to wonder why this Korean school is new from the list, also in those recent years, there is no one from Automation Engineering field is going to apply to Korea, but when I’m interested in the school, many people also showed a lot of love into Korea like wtf @@

New Year’s Resolution (mourning a lot tbh)

so I’m gonna post something on this blog cause it’s been a while since my last post and I was kinda lazy to write anything in the winter break so…(yeah, my plans didn’t work out on this winter break cause the procrastination, the same old typical freaking excuse of all time) I don’t try to refuse it but yeah….it’s kinda pain in the ass cause I’d got 2 weeks to study tons of things such as Koreans, courses and preparing for applying to Master Degree…But i didn’t do that so.

Yeah I’m writing this first is to mourn about my status right now cause basically I have to prepare for applying to exchange studies next year and I’m gonna learn Korean somehow, day by day and days in days out lol, also is trying to learn many courses or anything that I haven’t understood since the classes were too bullshit, I mean for real, for God’s sake, geez. I want to apply to the Master Degree here cause I don’t have to study GRE (haiz but I think I would do it tbh cause I don’t wanna stay here cause it’s boring af). I planned to write this blog to write my new year’s resolutions because I wanna complete them in 2016 and I just hope I won’t procrastinate them….again. So first thing first, read and do all the necessary documents to apply to exchange studies. Second is to learn Korean everyday cause I don’t want to be a decoy or anything when I move to Korea. Let’s jut hope that after 2 months, I can introduce myself confidently and I can write simple Koreans about myself, or I can even write my very 1st blog (or vlog) in Korean lol. The third thing is to study hard and go to the library more often because…y not? It has the dopest keyboard of this school, as well as it’s silent so I can concerntrate myself on studying those things. I don’t wanna be dumb because the teachers told me nothing about the Electronics last year so I think I’m gonna study it as well as Programming again…screw you Juha. I think I will add to my New Year’s Resolutions one more thing, that’s learning GRE as well. Yeah I’m gonna study it more harder and harder…so more time in the library of course.

About complete all the documents to apply for exchange studies, I’m gonna need some helps of my bros, and I need to find a matching courses so that I can transfer all the obligatory credits of the partner school in Korea and here, HAMK, so I think it’s gonna take at least a day to find them and to make a right decision to go to Korea. I really hope the I can move to Korea to study and for a year cause I wanna change, I wanna be better and I’m sure I can adapt with anything, anything. I just wanna be myself in a better environment and prove that nothing can stop me. Yeah HAMK sucks (it’s not really that but the teachers, I understand shits tbh) So, moving asap is the only choice for me right now so I can learn in a better environment, cause when I checked the faculty there, they’re all PhD teachers, which amazed me a lot. I think that if HAMK doesn’t have many good Vietnamese like anh Hai or anh Long, HAMK can’t be a good choice for Vietnamese students, I’m sure. I meet lots of friends of course but tbh it’s not enough, really. The Korean partner school is University anyway so I think I can be treated better, and I can entertain myself better there lol, it has tons of Korean bands and K-pop it good tbh actually. The food is heaven, not to mention BBQ there, omfg I cannot believe one day I will be there to study for a year. So excited and I wanna make that come true by doing all the necessary papers to go there.

Omg and there is more, the GRE and going to Master Degree. Yeah cause if I don’t, I cannot be able to go to Vietnam to work because I would lack a lot of things and I will be neeeded to be taught again.  I don’t want that, I want to have a job…outside Vietnam and I wanna make a lot of money to I can pursue my dream of having lots of money to go travelling anywhere I want to so I don’t want to be poor and I cannot afford any trip and beg for my parents’ money, they give me a lot and it’s time to reciprocate them. So…yeah, i will study GRE and Korean also. Way to go!

I should end this blog right now and start doing something real lol. So I will start…making my breakfast ready. I think I will update this often because I need to improve my writing as well as my typo skill.

Recent updates [1.11.2015]

Well, recently I happened to fall in love with a Korean girl band name EXID. i knew them before when I watched a fancam video on Youtube of Hani, one of the member there. At a first sight, I was…”Well okay she’s nice, she’s sexy and beautiful, the song was addictive because of the lyrics and the sound beat effects etc.” Last week, me and my friends happened to watch it again and start looking for their normal shows and daily life, which I usually never do with a Korean band cause I used to hate them cause their songs… well I cannot understand shit, and when I translate them, they were nonsense and I was wondering why people all around the world are so crazy with them.

I was watching their shows and stuffs like that and I found out that this girl band is…special. They tell people and audiences shouldn’t abstain form eating and they should eat healthily every day. In their show while they haven’t been famous yet, they’re sooo natural that even I would melt myself while seeing them eating and having chit chats. Then, I started to looking for their shows, the TV shows and they interviews on Youtube and, yeah, they’re nice, they’re special and I was fall in love for them immediately.

If i had a chance to go to Korea sometimes I would definitely gonna visit EXID on stage and if I’m lucky enough, I can have their signatures and photos with them as well. Right now I’m just gonna watch their shows and hope for the best. I might consider to learn Korean as well cause I start to like it….already.

Anyway if I can learn and master Korean I can be able to translate a drama show on my own, that would be great.

[Review] Oslo, Norway

idk but I just wanna write something because I can’t get those words inside my head so…

Just a few memories about my last trip to Oslo, Norway on the Autumn break.

The first thing that I want to say about Oslo, the capital city of Norway is that Oslo is very expensive. It’s so expensive that even an average restaurant can cost me an amount of money when I eat at a fine restaurant in Finland, also with the living and the public transports (yeah it has its own money for some reasons right?)

The second thing that I would love being in Oslo is that there are two streets that I love to be there, every single day and take tons of pictures there in every hour from the morning till night are the Karl Johans and the Aker Brygge. In Karl Johans, it’s named after a king of Oslo and according to the map, that is the main street of Oslo, where every large shop and mall are located here (of course the price isn’t cheap so I won’t expect to buy anything there except for those souvenirs) In Karl Johans, I can walk all day and see the view of the street without getting bored and also, there are many architectures and building considered to be symbols of Oslo for example the Parliament House, the City Hall, the National Theater, the biggest university in Oslo and not to mention the Royal Palace. Well, the street is clean, the air is fresh and the views are beautiful so I cannot expect more from Karl Johans. I walk by this street every single day just to see the view and how people in Oslo are doing. The Aker Brygge is different, well, to be honest, that is not a street but an area. It’s located near the harbor and there are a lot of yachts and boats here, and they are certainly from the people here. It’s best to see this area at night when all the yellow lights of this area have already turned on, yeah, I felt like I had lost inside of a different part of Oslo, where the rich and all of the luxurious restaurants gather to this area and it separates from other areas. If you want to chill and watch the ocean at night and see something luxurious, you can come here and sit for hours. That’s enough for a night.

The third thing is that the Anker Hostel where I used to book and stay in for 3 nights. It’s totally amazing, compared to places and hostels I had been in Paris or Brussels. Idk why there are many comments on Tripadvisors or Booking.com say that the hostel wasn’t good at all or it wasn’t nice. However, I think this hostel is wayyy better than other hostels in other cities. It’s nice and clean. I stayed with 7 people and there are all my friends in Finland, and yeah, everyone said that it was nice, there is a bar down the lobby and the Internet speed is fast enough to me to update…everything.

Last but no least is the girls in Oslo. Damn I have to say they are soooo beautiful and gorgeous. From the moment that I went to the plane from Helsinki then arrive at Oslo airport, I could see that there were so many beautiful girls and I kept staring my eyes on them all day, all night. Well don’t judge me cause everyone will do that when they are here, once, and I confirm that. People in Oslo are really friendly also, they were really nice and affable when we asked them to take pictures for us and they wanted to take pictures with us also.

That’s it for Oslo and I…will get back to study cause I have an exam tmr. Haizz

Long time no see and I really wanna come back to Vietnam

it’s been a while since I posted my last blog here (lol cause i just did it myself to read and comment & edit so i don’t really care that much) So this is the first day of March and I have two more months to get back to Vietnam. Somebody said that he didn’t wanna come back to Vietnam cause he sicked of his hometown, Hanoi, however, I think come back to Vietnam has many advantages cause I wanna go back to meet my family, my friends and especially my hometown (of course cause this is where I was born lol) Also, I sicked of being here, where my introvert person has become larger and larger, for almost whole day, I didn’t communicate to anyone, cause that’s simply I didn’t want to. I also had to meet with my nemesis lol (I don’t wanna say ou loud here cause it’s to mainstream if I do so) Also, I didn’t want to do anything such as comparing scores, doing assignments and also measuring stuffs cause I didn’t have any motivation to do so. What if I don’t wanna be an engineer, what if I don’t wanna have that much money when I graduate, or what if engineering life can pursue my livings afterwards. Haizz, so pissed off.

A month being in the detritus :))

It’s been a month since I moved into a new apartment, when I lived with four people in that apartment. Well, I could say it’s fine up until now (Last month, I thought that one day I would throw something into their faces because of the squalor of “the Cat Eye” lol. Oh well, I still drove my insane some times, but I think that I was too equanimity to that. There were copious of anecdotes since I moved here too. Well, it’s all about that guy with his stagnation and dumb ass. I couldn’t believe that how his parents could let him study abroad when he couldn’t handle even himself, he never did any assignments and he always asked for helps, he even had to ask us how to access the Moodle to get those assignments, last but not least was he couldn’t recognize his own clothes, his socks and his bowls -_- Well, I couldn’t say that I wasn’t mad at him but he was too slothy to be in this milieu. Well, I had to entertain myself for a little bit or I would be in danger (I mean I would be exasperate at him) :)) Well, I would try to keep on writing those blogs more often.

Another four and a disparage saying…

Yeah, earlier today, I’d got another 4/5. But this time, I was despondent about myself cause I thought I could make this test good, not perfect but it had to be better somehow… Yeah another four

But what made me really angry and aggressive today was a saying by a mofo in my class… He’s got 27, that’s mean a five. I’ve already known that he’s quite a badass in studying and solving problems but hey… I remembered after a told Duc about my scores, which was 22, and he sneered and said to his clique that “Is that the best you can do, huh?” He’s older than me, he’s tougher than me, and he earned my respect…until today. That’s kinda hilarious cause yeah, I could have had 27 if I made it more carefully. But still, my neglect didn’t allow me to do that so I have to be more careful.

Nehh, up till now, my fucking roommate’s issue wasn’t a problem for me right now, but I’m now having two targets. First is to get a first five points (which I mentioned earlier in my previous post), and second, of course is to beat the shit out of him, I know it’s gonna be tough and quite day-dreaming, but I think if I study hard enough, take a little bit more careful, and I think I will get a five and high scores too. I have to have faith to myself, I have to nail it…somehow.

It’s 1am now and still I cannot sleep (just because I did get a nap today and I feel really irritating about that saying, or am I too aggressive about that?) Neh, I will complete my tasks by the end of this month, which is the last month of the year, I promise.

My Neglect…

Right now, I just finished my Maths exam. I thought that I could have a maximum five points on that, but actually, damn… I just got four up to five… Just because of my neglect. I was neglectful and I read the wrong question so I was deducted in those points (which I had to make it perfect) I was pretty sure about it at first, I even had a double-check on my test. From Vietnam to Finland, I couldn’t believe that my neglect didn’t decrease, but it chronically increased. I had to do something to make it perfect, but I didn’t. I was so regret about it because I neglected the questions (which had to be the most important part – reading questions) It’s obvious that I will have a four instead of five (Oh…I’ve never had any five points since I was here) Just want to chastise myself because of my neglect, I destroyed everything…I need to concentrate to the test, I just waste so much time doing shits and I didn’t have time (or didn’t care) about the questions

In two weeks I will have a lot of exams. So if I keep on forgetting silly stuffs and neglecting everything and I will never have a chance to see any five points in my Freshman year. I study, I can say…it’s good enough. I can remember a lot of knowledge he teaches on the board and I also review all the lessons at home, I just cannot wait for the test and I hope that everything I can do is my best… But it’s just disappointment.

Well, I should take advantages of my mistakes, but I made it too often… I was always deducted at silly points and it turned out wasn’t perfect. I really want to have a five, my very first five points…That will be my motivation to get other five(s) :))
