Confirmation! :)

Yeah, finally... This is it...

After a long waiting from morning till the end of office hour, I got an email from the Korea International Trade Association, saying that I was selected as one of the 40 participants from 16 countries (ASEAN+6).

It's a special East Asian Study Program organized by the Korean government together with the Trade Association, and we'll be doing some studies on Korea's trading system as well as its relations with other East Asian countries. It's gonna be fun! Hopefully I can get some inputs for my thesis writing! ^^

29th May-5June! Korea I'm coming!!

Korea? No, SOUTH Korea!

Still remember I got my marks deducted for answering "Korea" instead of "SOUTH Korea." How could I make such silly mistake? I should have at least written "Republic of Korea". Never mind, just take it as an extra lesson learned. 

Korea, no no no! South Korea has always been in the first rank of my want-to-visit-most-country-list. Up till now, I've missed two opportunities in visiting this unique country:
First, the learning trip organized by Jabatan Kebudayaan UKM last year. (Got so fed up with the long, dragged process of interview with the officers from cultural department, so I quit. You need to pay a few K for the trip anyway.) 
And second, the two-week-cultural program (RM 1 million budgeted!!!)  which I had to give up because of the study program in U.S.. :(

However, life's like that, you have to give and take! The good thing is it will never be hopeless as long as you pray! 

So now...
I'm on another plan! Still under process ,... will be revealing it only after it has been confirmed. 

As the rhyme goes:
When you wish upon a star
Makes no difference who you are
Anything your heart desires
Will come to you

If your heart is in your dream
No request is too extreme
When you wish upon a star
As dreamers do



Wish me luck! :)
