I bet almost all Kuwaitis watched this show 2 days ago. Well if you didn't, I'll give you a brief explanation.
 Mr. Abdulla Al Muthafer(correct spelling?) moved to Japan 25 years ago to marry a a beautiful Japanese women (Miyuki aka. Ameena) where they had 3 children, Sarah, Yousef(Yuu) and Kathem(Kazem).

Mr Abdulla was discovered when the tragic tsunami occured last year, March 31st.
Now, I am really happy that they interviewed him. Knt wayed mndamja o I didn't miss any moment of it. Mr Abdulla showed the Kuwaitis the beauty of Japan, the respect, and the kindness they had. Which made me love the Japan society even more.

What I thought was ridiculous was some questions Mr. Khalid asked. And to be honest, he was kind of rude also. I don't even know how Mr.Abdulla kept his temper, but I'm glad he showed us some footages and explained how life is in Japan.


I wish I could meet them though. *keeps dreaming*

Learning Korean because of Kpop?

I have a my own book where I wrote all of the Korean alphabet, vowels, sentences and etc. When people see me practicing Korean so seriously, they would be like, " Oh it's the new " 7abba" "Kpop" "

Tbh, that kinda got me mad. It's true, and I admit, that I got so attached to the Korean culture because of the music -  I won't in any way, deny that. But, when Kpop entered my life, I got to see the beauty of the Korean language, and that also introduced me to the Korean culture. I got immersed in the culture and the beauty of the language, the amount of respect, the etiquette; everything. And that was three years ago.

I would dedicate all my nights just to learn the alphabet ( proud to say I'm almost there) I am determined to learn Korean, and I won't stop. I mean, to me, it's one of the most beautiful languages out there. And you might think I'm exaggerating, but to me, I'm not.

I would wish that I would understand what my friends are saying when they talk in Korean, when I watch something, I would like to watch it without subtitles.

I'm also learning Korean because I want to be a linguist. So, Korean won't be the only language I will be learning. It's just that, I'm more interested in Korean. I would learn Japanese but it's too hard for me at the moment due to school work whereas Korean is much easier.

Yes, I'm going to learn 3 or maybe 4 languages, inshallah.

But, I would hope that people would stop telling me that those I like those Koreans for the music only. No. I have Korean friends, and I love them but not just for their music. Their personality is as nice as anyone else. Heck, even if they weren't Korean I'd still love them.

I am not learning Korean just because of Kpop.

But I do, still love kpop. 

First Korean band to come to the Middle East.

Korean boyband  ZE:A came to Dubai and are heading to Abu Dhabi tomorrow.

When I first heard about ZE:A coming to the Middle East, I kinda freaked out. I didn't really know the band - or even knew a lot of songs. I just...I don't know; I just wanted to go.

But, I couldn't. WHY DID THEY HAVE TO COME A WEEK AFTER MY HOLIDAY WAS FINISHED.
I couldn't stand seeing all of those Emarati girls tweeting about how awesome they looked and how cute they were - even though I'm kinda glad they're having fun.

 

But I swear, I'm still dying of jealousy right now. Ya3ni they had to come before the exams, and when I have school.

FML. 

Just FML.

I wanted to see their perfect hair and bodies...skin tone...mbah.
My maid came to comfort me about them, saying that " I'll be able to see them because she knows I'll go to Korea sometime". Like that would make me feel better. Well, it kinda did actually.

I guess I'll just spend my life watching them virtually ( yeah? correct word?) with chocolate at my disposal. I'll live with 77 cats and master the skill of knitting.

Nah, kidding..I hope.

I can't study; I can't sleep.

I won't rest until a Korean band comes to Kuwait. He2.

Yes, you can call me obsessed.

My IGCSE exams start a week from now.

I'm so scared. I can imagine how hard the exams will be. I'm taking 4 early entry subjects which will come from Cambridge university in England. So the exam will be external, and it's extended.

I regret taking some subjects. Like physics - I'm not doing that though, Physics will be an internal exam ( from the school)

What I'm really scared about is the English, ICT, Biology and Chemistry. I'm taking all of those exams that have count up to 6 hours..I think each. If I fail, I'll have to do the exam again in November. Oh and It's extended ( harder than core)

I kind of regret taking English. I mean, I got a B in my mock exam, but I don't feel like I have strong vocabulary for first Language. 

Ugh, just help me.

I might not post that much during those 2 months. *pretends I have followers*

ed3ooly..

Song of the day: EXO-K - Mama

Skip to 1:35 to listen to the song.

This song is..unique LOL. SM town ( their company) released about a zillion teasers and prologues for this song, I understand why now.

The first bit kinda scared me but now It's stuck in my head.

If you're not a kpop lover, I bet you won't like it XD

Oh wells, hope you enjoy it!

Korean family

I have to blog about this no matter what. 

I just came back from my Korean friends' house. I had such an AMAZING time. 

Ok ok, lemme start at the beginning, I walked in to find house slippers in front of me. Like, Idk, it's not something big I know, but I just got happy. So yeah.

Next thing was, their mum welcomed me with a hug and a Korean snack ( yum!)

Then we kept watching Korean videos and stuff. When it was 6pm, they had dinner already.  I was like .___. 

Their dad came, and then 2 uncles. I was like " okayy...."

They all called me to eat dinner and I saw the typical Korean dinner which consisted of:

- Kimchi

-Kalbi- something.. ( meat)

- White rice ( in a small bowl! I found it cute haha)

- Korean spicy fish soup ( choked on it, but it was delicious. XD)

- Fried vegetables

- Ddoekbokki ( Korean rice cake which was DELICIOUS) 

 I was really shy. I couldn't eat..lol. I felt like I was an outsider..wait, I am lol. But at the same time I felt so happy. Idk. And they kept trying to ask me questions, and I would try to answer them back in Korean - which surprised them LOL ( OH YOU SPEAK KOREAN) 

They did love the cake I bought haha (THANK GOD.)

Haha. 

Then we went to sing at the noraebang ( Korean karoake). Which was so so much fun. We sang to Korean songs for 3 hours straight LOL

I called my mum early because I thought they'd sleep early, and I didn't want to stay late because it would be rude right ?

When the driver came, they were like  " OH WHY, My mum thought you will stay until 12!" 

I told them I didn't want to bother them haha.

After that, they gave me a present. Yes, a present. I was speechless LOL

I'm so keeping the bag LOL

Pocky, Lotte pie, cookies and Korean sweets ( sweet red ginseng)

I thought that was so nice of them. 

Ahh, I'm just so happy.
