ok, blogging time. Really lazy to blog these few days or rather no time to blog.
Posting some pictures during my korea trip. The handphone is bad so pictures are kind of blur....
This is my sleeping area. oh my, i sound like a pet. anyway this pic shows a lucky day cause not many ppl. It can be up to 11 ppl sharing 6 mattress. The sleeping mattress is really thin so is like sleeping on floor.
other parts of the dormitory... there are lots of good books there.
The kitchen....... everyday routine is wake up 8am, then go owner's house for breakfast, 9am reach dojang, 12.30pm lunch, 1.30pm resume training, 6pm dinner, 7pm training, 9pm dormitory sweet dormitory. I dunno y but i really enjoy the time when we walk back to the dormitory at night, past by conveniences store to get snack to eat in dormitory. Ppl will think is no life but i kind of enjoy the aftermath of the long hours torturing on weiqi. yar, i am sick...
does this person look like a ninja? of course he does cause he is from japan. He is a group A insei in japan go association and came to this dojang for half a year training. Even though he is in group A, many ppl in the dojang can win him so this really shows the standard difference between insei and yongguseng(korea insei). But i really pei fu him cause he is damm hardworking. I have never seen anyone as hardworking as him in weiqi before. Anytime of the day including weekend and holiday, he will be at the same table either replaying pro games or doing questions. i really think he has finish replaying all the books in the dojang. even my teacher think he is tooooo hardworking. sad thing is he dont talk to anyone cause no one know how to speak japanese.
this is where i have my breakfast at the owner's house. Her wife will prepare breakfast.

some of my classmates. the guy on the left is really cute. and i always thought the person in the center is a gal until the last week when i was in the toilet, he enter and stand at the urinal to urine. hahahahahaha.... i was kind of shock in the beginning.
this pic is dark but thier lift is really scary. is the same from those horror korea movie.
my favourite night is thursday to sunday night cause this is the only time they on baduk tv to watch the league games.
My lunch and dinner, there are 2 type to choose for lunch and is one time buffet style so u can take as much as u wan. dinner only got 1 choice.... the side dish change everyday and it cost 3000won, around S$4.20. sometimes the sides are horrible so i have no choice but to take many kimchi to eat with rice.
got this korea card game call 'go stop' or 'har tup'. is kind of difficult cause u must memorise which card belongs to the same group. hard to explain.....
As for my china trip i took only 1 photo.....
i find this really disgusting. they serve this on the open ceremony...jc n james actually ate it...omg.... We stayed in a 5 star * * * * * hotel and is really very high class. is the best hotel i stayed so far. My result sux... my positions is just on top of 3 korean old lady, muhahahahaa. And the food we eat is really good, hotel resturant everyday.

No time to surf net n blog these few days cause very busy and tired. Finally have the chance to sneak into the office to use com.

OMG!!! i saw park yong hun today!!! chinese name is piao yong xun. when i wake up today was so shock to see him in the dormitory. Must find a chance to get his signature. haha...

Also thnking of ways how to join kay n gang at the asian competition. so troublesome...

After coming to korea i realise i spend too little time on weiqi while in singapore. And i have to open up for new things... i used to refuse to learn new stuff cause i think is troublesome. Kids here are horrible, just knew a 12 year old GIRL who is 9d on tom and they say she can be pro now but they want to protect her cause being pro is very tough so will only let her take exam when older.

So sad i am not introduce to GO in my early age. Feel so damm old now.

Happy Childrens Day!!! (in korea)

Today i seat and do go stuff for a very long hour (9am to 12.30pm, 1.30pm to 6.30pm) and after that i feel like vomitting. Not kidding...

And if my dear sis is reading my blog pls dont report everything i type here....... cause they will ask me tons of questions.

So i was thinking i should exercise since i will be seating most of the time. The dojang is on the 8th floor so i plan to climb stairs everyday. So today i tried climbing and when i reach the dojang i cant even walk and talk properly..... Then my china friend ask me y i so hardworking climbing stairs when i can take lift, so i tell him i need to exercise. Then he say......

"Oh, these few days is holiday so can take lift, after holiday(which is tue) we have to climb stairs everyday, we r not allow to take lift." I was like WHAT!!!! R U KIDDING ME????

My exercise goal is going to come true for sure.......

Is sunday and today is suppose to be a break day but there are still ppl in the dojang replaying pro games. Since there is no tv in the dormitory i have no choice but to go to the dojang.

Anyway there is a pro here who also stays in the dormitory and is quite famous de. After seeing him i really think being a pro player is the worst job in the world. Is really very xin ku... He seats there the whole day replaying games and really is whole day, morning 9 to nite 9pm except go out for dinner n lunch break.

Tml is children days in korea and is suppose to be a holiday so is a own time own target for me in the dojang... Happy training!

Yes, i am in korea now.

Yes, i am blogging there using the office com.

Yes, i feel like dying.......

The training here is really harsh. And the ppl here are really really hardworking. The daily training is from 9am to 9pm and after which go back dormitory rest. The usual thing to do when u reach dormitory is rest or talk or sleep right? NO!!! They take out weiqi board immediately and start to replay pro games. I am really shock and they are kids!!!!

If you guys say weiqi no life while in singapore wait till you come here.

The dormitory was bad too. Cause no tv which i really really cant take it and we have to sleep on the floor with just a thin cloth on it. And dont understand wat they r talking about too, is in korean. Good thing is there is a china boy there.

Ok, i will get use to it.

Back to hell training.
