Ritchie: A New Challenge, A New Life

To give an idea on life in Korea as a Malaysian KGSP scholar, Ritchie has agreed to share an entry taken from his blog here~

Since my last published blog, countless events had happened and most of which brings great memories and shall be a great experience for my further education-pursuing life here in Korea. in particular,자세히..some events had been so far the best ever which happened since my arrival in Korea till now, approximately 3 months and 3 weeks had passed.

22nd September 2008:
SunMoon University Sports Competition~
Took part in the badminton competition and WON!! yeeehaa..^-^v




24th September 2008:
The Global Lounge was officially opened in SunMoon Uni. On that day I performed a song with 3 of my friends whom i got really closed since we're in the same program and go to school everyday together, and we stay in the same room~^&^ roommates~^^ we sang a song entitled 'Life is Good' , lyrics and song composed ourselves and it was performed well~~ besides that, was just normal...lol




26 September 2008:
3-month of Coming-to-Korea Celebration. Had a dinner with my friends under the same program in our uni for being in Korea for 3 months since our first meeting and arrival in Korea. Since then ties were forged and got closer, partly family partly friends..Will be one of those memorable days after we finish our 8 months together in SunMoon Uni....Bravo~





30 September 2008:
성화학숙 Festival - University Open-House Festival
More of a welcoming party for old and freshie students. Mini-concert held, with various performances by uni's own singers , dancers , etc. Even a magic show and a singing competition, one of my friend Zahid and Sergey got 2nd for putting up a good show^^ and later got my Prize for winning the Badminton Competition^^~





3-5 October 2008:
One of the best experience yet. Global Friendship Camp. Held in Paju-Si , Gyeonggi-do which is near the north-south korean border. It's not just a camp. It was a camp of youths from all over the world, 100 korean students from all over korea and 100 international students , gathering for a camp of unity,teamwork-building, the power of youth to change the world , especially on tackling world issues such as oppression and human rights as well as environmental problems, global warming etc and filled with fun activities, games AND importantly shows how Great unity is and with it new friends were made and Friendship was formed. Also it gave us insight on how precious independence is to a country and how war could destruct a country and burn the desire and future of the young and old alike from the visit of the North-South Korean border,군사 분계선 DMZ(demilitarised Zone or military demarcation zone), where historical sites with memories of those war-days still lurking, it seems like a visit back to history~ Went to an under-tunnel build by the North in 1970s when they tried to invade the South called the 3rd Undertunnel of Aggression. Pictures was forbidden so..~_~ . However the thing i could tell is that the feeling was overwhelming and it makes me realised how important Peace is to a
country.
