Most of Korean cannot speak English.(Some of Korean or some people will be complain about what I said.) But, let us face the truth. Do you know why I say so? Some Korean sounds like can speak English but, they do not really understand what exact meaning is. For example, if I say "Let's go to the eat.", they understand "Let's go to the restaurant.".(It is just example of situation.) Can you say they speak English, can't you?
That is why I am trying to change the their way of learn English. But, how can I?
I know that one of most diffcult thing should be the change someone's mind.
I just hope that many Korean people realise the fact. I really hope so.

To. all my friends
It happened because of my laziness. Also there has other reason like difficulty about writing by English.

It is driving me crazy :-(

DEAR OH DEAR !!!!!!
I have got email from my friend.
Phone Tale:
"Hello?"
"Hi, honey, this is Daddy .... Is your Mummy near the phone?"
"No,Daddy. She's upstairs in the bedroom with Uncle Frank."
After a brief pause, Daddy says,
"But you haven't got an Uncle Frank, honey!"
"Oh Yes, I do, and he's upstairs in the room with Mummy, right now!"
"Uh, Okay, then ... here's what I want you do. Put down the phone, run upstairs and knock on th e bedroom door and shout to Mummy and Uncle Frank that Daddy's car's just pulled up outside the house."
"Okay, Daddy!" A few minutes later, the little girl comes back to the phone.
"Well, I did what you said, Daddy."
"And what happened?" he asks.
"Well, Mummy got all scared, jumped out of bed with no clothes on and ran around screaming, then she tripped over the rug and went flying out the front window and now she's all dead."
"Oh my God!!!!! And what about Uncle Frank?"
"He jumped out of bed with no clothes on too and he was all scared and he jumped out the back window into the swimming pool but he must have forgot that last week you took out all the water to clean it, so he hit the bottom of the swimming pool and now he's all real dead too."
***long pause***
***more pause****
Then Daddy says, "Swimming pool???? Is this 555-7039?"
Isn't it funny?

My korean blog
I did not plan to doing the Korean blog last time(Because keep it two blog and language is not easy. Last my blog is good example-title is 'War of the world'- because, I did it English after that I did it Korean again. I felt uneasiness and difficulties.) but, I have a lot of thought about the learning English, wrong idea of other country's culture and people, problem the system and Korea society.
I learn many cultural things from staying Malaysia, visiting Philipines and learn English so I can write about my thoughts.
Korea has many blog sites so I could not decide which one should I use. Finally, I decided it and I will introduce here. I think nobody will check out the my Korean blog because of Korean language but, I will left it here.

War of the worlds
 |
movie info. : http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0407304/
Before I watched movie, I heard about the movie from my friend. And he did not say nice but he said spectacle. It is Steven Spielberg's movie but not very famous, I guess. So my mind become this movie is not good enough.
Yesterday I watched movie with my friend. Screen is just normal size because they show them already long time ago. It is a spectacular movie. Actually, I do not like Tom Cruise's acting because I feel his acting was just okay and I do not feel nice or good.(I like his old movie's acting.-Cocktail, Jerry Mcguire, Interview with vampire-)
I was not very happy with that movie's actor or actress(except Tim Robbins's acting) because I am really interesting about the actor or actress's acting.(Last time, I was not happy with watching the Troy-I felt boring- but, when I saw the Achilles's die scene, I terribly impressed by his acting. And then my mind become love to watch again.)
I thought I also would not like this movie. But, when I saw the scene where they drove the car to the crowd, I was impressed. It shows that realistic of what human being like. That is why I like too much.
I still does not like the actor and actress's acting and strange stroy line but, I like the message. I believe that good movie has a good message.
I also surprised with Steven Spilberg because his most of movies has hero but, this movie does not have it. I do not like heroic movie because it is difficult to see the realistic. (Because, I prefer to watch the realistic movie like drama.)

She said that to me about last time but I thought it is not matter to her because she did not say anything about them. But, she also said that last time also she hurt. I cannot think about what exactly misunderstand about what was I told to her. I have not a clue.(I thought it can be sms but she said that when I talk to her. But, if so, why she did not tell to me.)
So I do not know what to do because she did not want to meet me now.
My sms did not mean to be sad because it cannot be. But, my thought could based on Korea and her thought could based on Malaysia so I think it is definitely different culture and can be happen. That's why I want to explain to her.
I feel cultural thing is not easy. I just hope that I have chance to explain about what I wrote sms for her as soon as possible.
I really hate this happen because it is not suppose to be.

My favourite Korean movie
I have not seen many Korean movies but, a lot of movies I like them.
Most my favourite movie should be the Gwicheondo(Gate of Destiny, 1996) directed by Lee geyung young. I know some people said that they just like the sound track called 'Guichundoae'. I like that song, too.
When I watched movie, I was impressed very much. It is quite different from any other movie. It was quite artistic and new style of Fantasy movie.
The other one is Gonggongui jeog (Public Enemy, 2002). When I was watching the movie, I would not like it because conversations were terribly impolite.
I was impressed because of Sul geyung gu's acting. Also it's nice movie.
Now you can see the Public Enemy 2 in Korea. I am not sure still showing in cinema or not.
Whasango (Volcano High, 2001) - I love Jang hyuk's acting.
Swiri (Shiri, 1999)- I like actors-if you know or watched the Seoul's moon-Seoul?? Dal-, you know what I mean.- TV series but, I watched English dubbed one so I do not know how they act.

My condominium was moving.
I'm not feeling well(I was terribly tired.) so I thought I had a dizzy. Suddenly my housemate knocked door and then asked about shaking building.(I think it happended at 12a.m.) It was like moving very smoothly and slowly moving my desk, computer monitor and everything. It felt more like I was in the ship, that's exactly I felt. I'm living Petaling Jaya(near Bandar Utama and Damansara Uptown) in Malaysia. I could see the back side of my condominium that everybody went down to condominium and then went to far away(just in front of building.) from building. My housemates and me also decided to go out and then do same thing as that condominium.
I called my friend who living quite close from here(15 minutes by walk). She said that she felt same thing. But, I called other my friend who living bit far from here(20 minutes by car). We waited outside for an hour. She didn't feel anything. Rescue911 was came for checking up the building. They said it needs for 2 hours but, after hour it finished. When I was outside condominium, I don't know anything about that earthquake so I thought next time I should have bring the radio.
I found out what happen. 8.2 magnitude earthquake from Sumatra Island in Indonesia. You can read news article from Yahoo! News.

Do you like play game?
I just finished play game Prince of Persia : The Sand of the Time. It is so much fun. I would loved play. Many people remember that Prince of persia. That was very old game so I thought not many people know about that game but, I did wrong. Many people are known that game and remember it.
I played that game in Playstation 2, when I visited my friend's house. It was quite impressive so I thought I want to play the game. But, that time I have a laptop computer so I couldn't play. Later, I bought a computer(I sold out my laptop computer.) but, that computer couldn't play the prince of persia. Something happens and then I bought a computer, again. And I played that game and finished.
I feel like played movie, you know. Each stage has movie and it used automatic camera so it feels like that. Someone likes watching movie or playing action game, I really suggest to play this game.

Beware of your SMS.ac membership type
A few days ago, I got daily SMS message from 32151(It was not free. Each message is 50cent. Every day I got two sms so my phone credit deducted 1ringgit every day.) Last time I subsribed Yahoo mobile alerts news but that time doesnot working with MAXIS and nowadays it working with them so I thought it was from Yahoo mobile alerts. Three days ago, I tried to remove them but it couldnot stop. Two days ago, I tried to remove them and remove my phone number. But it could not.
Just now I called MAXIS Cusomer Care Centre and then I got the phone number. I called that number. That number is SMS.ac so I checked out the my profile in SMS.ac. My membership type is "Pay As You Go, RM0.5/per message"(which mean is "Daily FREE messages: In order to receive your Daily FREE messages, you must Opt-in to Mobile Promotions."). I removed them.

No more free sms.
I donot exactly remember that ICQ has been stop the free sms in many countries.(Last time more than 50 countries but now just 6 countries only.)
You can check the follow the link. http://web.icq.com/sms/smsnetworks/
http://www.sms.ac/ also no more free sms. If you want to send sms, you have to pay.
That was very useful because I can save money and easy to write message. I cannot use anymore.
If you are using Celcom or Maxis, you try to use Yahoo messenger. But, this is not free. More information : http://asia.mobile.yahoo.com/my/messenger/

What kind of movie do you like it?
I really like watching movie. I donot mind about what kind of movie is. Old movie, black and white movie, strange movie and whatever kind of movie. I can watch it and enjoy it. Many people are like watching the action movie, I think. I also like it. But, sometimes after watch that movie I got feel bit stupid. So I asked to myself 'Why I felt like that?'. I think that most of action movies' stories are very similar and meaningless. Because after watched movie I would like to think about story, character and everything.
So I think about again. Most my favourite kind of movie can be drama. It was more realistic, meaningful, natural and I can think about that movie.
Nowadays I have been watch the TV drama series 'Friends' season 1 to 6. First season and second season(maybe it should include third season, too) was very funny. I enjoyed it. But, after that season I got feel that 'Why am I still watching it?'. I think most of character become more more dumb acting and very unbelievable situation. But, I donot have any other movie or something. So I will keep watching.
I really like watching movie. I am going to watching movie with anybody. I donot think about that is dating. If you are woman, could you go for watching movie with me?
