Korean traditional food ~

Korean has rice cakes on Korean New Year.

Because they believe that by eating rice cake, they would have longer lives.

Here are some of the common rice cakes in Korea. (But Jane doesn't know the names)

They are yummy but for non-Korean, they may taste strange. :)








Korean has seaweed soup on thier birthday.

Because after a mother gave birth, she would have seaweed soup that good for women health.

So, during birthday, eating seaweed soup is for remembering how suffer thier mother was when giving birth.

There are many types of seaweed soup.

Such as :

Beef seaweed soup.


Seaweed soup with eggs!


With mushroom!


With dried prawn!


Seaweed soup with oysters!!

After have been staying in Korea for more than 6 years, Jane has seaweed soup and rice cakes on her birthday and during new year as well. :)

"우리 삼성 붙었어~~~~!!!!! ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ"
"We got reply from Samsung~~~~!!!!! hehehehehe"

20080111, the snowy day, Jane got this sms from PeiPei.

Jane was so happy, like flying high in the snowy sky fulled with joys, as if she got the job herself. :)


From left to right : PeiPei, PekFang, HsinPei, Karen, SiMin.

PeiPei and HsinPei got a job in the same company, Samsung Engineering Korea. Both of them are having sweet relationship with 2 lucky Korean guys. Got a job here definitely a very great news that deserves a celebration.

Especially to PeiPei, Jane is very glad that she has found her cute and sweet Mr. Right here. Why is Jane so sure that is her Mr. Right? She just knows it from the way PeiPei told her about thier lovely story. She can see how sweet PeiPei is and the difference of PeiPei's new relationship, compare to previous relationships in these few years.

Congratulations, PeiPei and HsinPei!!! :)

This is XiaoJing. She and PekFang got a job offer from DongHwa Holding Korea. Congratulations, girls. (Got to know this news earlier on Jane's birthday.)

The guy in the middle is KangBoon. He got 2 job offers from both Samsung Engineering Korea and DongHwa Holding Korea. A smart guy. He is now in a dilemma on choosing what company he wants to work at. Jane hopes the information she got for him could help him out from the dilemma. :)

This year, 2008, starts with a totally different way to Jane. Around the same time of 2007, Jane was so upset that most of her friends leaving her and back to Malaysia after graduation. Her friends here are getting less and less. But, this sadness is washed away from the news they have got to her. :)

Yeah, Jane is so glad and happy for them, because :
- Jane is not alone in Seoul.
- Jane and her friends story in Seoul is not ended yet.
- Jane's 3rd birthday wish has came true to PeiPei, KangBoon and HsinPei. :)

Yes!! Jane's 3rd birthday wish of 2008 birthday.

Wish everyone around Jane have thier wishes come true. :)

20080111~A wonderful day... :)

Yupe, 20080111 was a wonderful day for Jane, because snow did bring Jane a good day onwards with good news. :)

It was a wonderful whitey snowy morning.

Anyway, there were what Jane saw on her way to work.

Yes, this is what makes Jane worry about everytime it snows. The slippery ground!! It's still fine to walk on it when it's snow, but after everyone steps and steps on it till it turns to ice, it's not fun at all, unless you are good in skating. Unfortunately, Jane is not. lol

Well, the next two photos were taken from Jane's office. Views of snowy park from the 3rd floor. :)


Wonder what good news Jane had in this snowy day?

Do come back again. :)
