THE VERY LAST DAY IN JEJU ISLAND


10th JUNE 2015 ~ On the last day in Jeju Island, before going to the airport in the morning, Miss Sakinah took us to this place called Yongduam Rock ~ the Dragon Head Rock. There was not much to see actually but the place was already crowded with tourists at that time.







Then we went to get our Korean breakfast from a small restaurant nearby (all the restaurants here were small). Miss Sakinah ordered bibimbap which means "mixed rice". We literally had to mix the rice with all the other content such as vegetables and fried eggs before eating. And as usual, there were different kinds of kimchi which could be eaten with the rice. Like Malaysians, the Koreans seemed to eat a lot of rice, but I could not find any obese people during my stay there.














And finally, we tried the curved ice-cream which could be found in many parts of the island. One scoop tasted sweet with vanilla flavour while the other one came with lemon flavour and was VERY sour.




Basically that wrapped up my 4D3N stay in beautiful Jeju Island and I must say that I was really glad to be there. Jeju Island is a place for people who love nature. Thanks to my ex-student cum tour guide, Miss Sakinah Omar, for helping to experience the life in one part of South Korea.

DINNER ON THE LAST NIGHT IN JEJU


9th JUNE 2015 ~ Our guide took us to this restaurant near her university for dinner on our last night in Jeju Island. The (halal) food basically comprised of rice, fish, squid and of course, kimchi. One of the dishes had a similar taste to our local "asam pedas" surprisingly.



more kimchi








I think I could survive on Korean food but by that time, I had already missed my "teh tarik" and "roti canai" already.

ATTENDING THE SENDING-OFF CEREMONY FOR RETIRING SMK TAMAN UNIVERSITI'S 7TH PRINCIPAL


I was invited to another retirement event for the 7th Principal of SMK Taman Universiti, Johor Bahru, Puan Hajah Zaini Embong. This was actually the fourth consecutive time the school had to organize such event for a retiring Principal.


I chose to sit with other friends rather than the seats than had been specially reserved for guests. That would be one of the things that I dislike, to be seated with all the VIPs.





I was actually more excited to get to see my friends and students in my former school, rather than attending the real event. As I was under the tent for the non-VVIPs, there were not many photos I could share here, except the ones taken with (ex-)colleagues and students.



























Too bad I had to return back to school right after the event ended. Wish I could stay there much longer. *sigh*
