it's the 5th week, and usually on 5th week piano teachers got their day off..
So, yesterday I went to my Korean student's apartment..
They said they only have a little space in their apartment, but I wonder how little it was.. Once I arrived there, and they opened the door, it was.. big.. or should I say, huge??
My future apartment (which not so far from their apartment) can be seen from their window, and the size of my future apartment wasn't big at all, it's just a small place fit for me & my sis (and I think that's more than enough considering that both of us will be working since morning till night, so we only use the apartment for resting, so it wouldn't be matter for us with that size of apartment..)
Well.. Song Eun Su & Song Hyun Su is my Korean piano students..
They live with their mom & their younger brother, their dad already gone to Korea last week.. They will leave Indonesia next December T__T (that's why I'm so sad.. because I love them, they just so adorable & smart!)
Their younger brother, Song Ji Hu is still in Kindergarten & he's very talkative.. (by the way, I asked Eun Su & Hyun Su whether their mom gave the name to Ji Hu based on the 'Boys Over Flower' or not.. and they said they didn't know, so I asked that to Mi Yeon unnie, and she said 'yes' hahahaha.. Really Kim Hyun Joong's fans also..)
Earlier, Eun Su texted me, she said I shouldn't take any lunch before I came to their place because her mom would cook gimchi bokk-eumbab (kimchi fried rice) for me.. Wow!!! Such a treat for me.. haha.. Very happy though when I read the text messages..
I promised to Mi Yeon unnie to give Eun Su & Hyun Su extra lesson without any additional payment, but I asked for a favor from Eun Su & Hyun Su to teach me Korean language.. (fair enough right?) After giving them lesson to prepare their piano recital which would be held on December 10th, Mi Yeon unnie let us all had lunch.. She already prepared the meal.. with medium fried egg on top.. Believe me! It was so yummy!
**here's the pic of Kimchi Bokkeumbab made by Mi Yeon unnie**
She made the kimchi & fried squid also.. but unfortunately I didn't capture the squid for everyone already finished it all (so you can imagine how was the taste if it's already off in minutes! haha)
I tried to enjoy it slowly just to memorize the taste (in case I tried to cook that by myself)
She even gave me the recipes, and taught me how to make kimchi.. Yay! Lucky me!
They also let me try Korean tea, Mi Yeon unnie said it's good for eyes.. Taste very fresh..
After we all finished our meal, we clean up the table.. Eun Su & Hyun Su took a big board to teach me Korean language.. (at first time, I thought they were just going to teach me daily conversation so I can write down the romanization & memorize it.. but Mi Yeon unnie said that Eun Su & Hyun Su want to teach me the Hangeul writing also!!! *shocked* yet *excited*)
They taught me basic alphabet & vocal in Hangeul.. and it wasn't too hard, only need about 20 alphabets and we can combine them to words.. (when you see Chinese alphabets, it was over 2000 words & each words has different meanings, not just 1!)
I'm so happy, I got not just 2 teachers (Eun Su & Hyun Su) but also Mi Yeon unnie & Ji Hu also taught me how to speak & write Korean language.. Thanks to Ji Hu, he even push me to read his pokemon book in Hangeul hahahahaha.. He said he already can read it all.. (and he really did it! he read it loud in front of me, and I was just amazed.. He's really cute & funny especially when he laughed!)
I went there until 3 p.m because I should go to church on 5 p.m for service.. So, by the time I was going to go home, Mi Yeon unnie gave me few books that she didn't need it at all for me to study.. It was a basic conversation but in Hangeul.. So she let me try to read it carefully & slowly.. I really like them all.. and feel really sad knowing that they will go back to Korea this December.. But they're just so nice to me, they even said that if I went to Korea someday, I don't need to stay in hotel, I can stay in their house.. Luckily they live in Seoul, the capital city.. yay! So maybe, next year I will visit Korea around October (cross finger! let's pray!), because Mi Yeon unnie said the best time to visit Korea is around March-May (it's spring there!) or September-early November (it's autumn there!)
Thanks to Mi Yeon unnie, Eun Su, Hyun Su, and Ji Hu.. I enjoyed my weekend so much because of all of you..
