Christmas!

This week I got the 6th grade to make a paper chain to decorate our classroom. They all wrote a wish on their chain. Here is the finished product!

I wish for being happy.

I want to get girlfriend

I wish for boyfriend...

This was on most of the chains. I wish for a lot of money, I wish to be rich. Give me money!

Money better than a million dollars...?

 

We had a music concert this week at school, which after my success in the norabang (!) I was asked to sing at. Two of my co teachers and I performed 'yesterday' Here are some of the pictures that were taken!

 

Recorders

 

3 co teachers and the 6th and 5th grade music teachers.

 

Yesterday...

 

...all my troubles seemed so far away...

 

...now it looks as though they're here to stay. 

 

Clarinets

 

Abba dancing queens. Was a bit disappointed with this one, cos I've heard them rehearsing this number for about 3 weeks in the next door classroom but on the day none of them sang!!

 

Flutes

 

Oh yesterday, came suddenly.

Wendizzle's birthday

Last week was Wendy's birthday so we went for Sushi in Itaewon.

Mine and Fontaine's present!

Chris's face...

CAAAAAAAKE!!

Yum yum!

All gone.

We also went to the arcade on saturday, Wendy decided to beat the crap out of this machine.

Temple Stay

Here are my pictures FINALLY from our temple stay. Kev la and I went to find out what goes on in a Buddhist temple. It wasn't quite as authentically Korean as we'd hoped as there was only really one monk and he was Russian... but we got a taster anyway (up at 4am, meditating and chanting AND totally vegetarian food!)

This was the tea ceremony

There were two other guests as well as us; 1 chinese and 1 New Zealander.

Sleeping on the floor. Kev and I were in separate rooms.

This was the main temple building where we went for the chanting - evening, 4am and 10.30 am (midday...)

This was where we slept.

Another building, we went for calligraphy here.

Afterwards we went on the hunt for some meat! yesssssss!

and then out for Ice cream in cold stone... standard.

Nostalgia

I've just had a weird recollection on a rhyme my mum taught me when I was little when I ate prunes, or something else with pips to decide who I would marry when I grow up...

 Tinker

 Tailor

 Soldier

Sailor

Rich man

Poor man

Beggar-man

Thief

Clearly mum didn't expect me to aim very high. I now have other ideas! (See below)

Mmmmmmmm....

Here are some Christmassy lights pictures that made me happy! :-)
