My Brain

Click here to try the quiz.

You are a right brain dominant student!

You probably get bored during long lectures and prefer to take classes with a lot of freedom of movement and thought. You like to write stories and even tell stories about your funny experiences. You might be a little suspicious of other people's motives sometimes, but that's only because you can usually tell whenever someone is lying or when they're up to no good. You are a little on the dreamy side--or a lot. You plan books or movie plots but you don't always follow through on things you think about. You should work on that. You are fun and spontaneous, and probably active in sports or clubs. Your feelings run deep, and it shows. You have strong instincts, and you solve problems on hunches and feelings. You are artistic in some way. You can believe in things based on experience, without seeing scientific proof. You might be a finalist on Survivor some day, since you know how to read people so well, and you have great survival instincts.

Do you get bored when teachers lecture too much? Do you feel like you can size up people easily by watching them? If so, you may be right-brain dominant.

My thoughts about Korea

I enjoy eating Korean food. They served many side dishes which are called Ban Chan. The most distinguishing feature in Korean food is their spiciness. They like their red pepper paste a lot, it is called Go Ju Jang.

Kimchi is always served in Korean restaurant. Some said that without it, they could not have their meals. It is like a 'drug' to them. Well, it is more of an acquire taste though. Personally, I didn't like it at all when I first tried it, but after numerous attempt, I started liking it better. Well, kimchi itself is as good as yoghurt. Perhaps that was the reason why I coaxed myself to eat it.

Korea itself is a fast growing country. In the city Seoul, one can see how rapidly the country which was once ruled by Japanese has progressed into a modern nation. It is equipped with the latest technology and the people worked really hard. However, there is something special about Korea that makes it different from other developed countries. Despite the fact that it is ever growing, it did not lose its taste. Korea is still fiercely traditional and historical. Walking down the streets, I find myself blend between the 21st century, the late 70s and the 1880s. A lot of culture and tradition are still strictly followed, and many ancient palaces are preserved.

Talk about the society. I think there is still quite a noticeable inequality between the man and the women. I think women still do not have as much right as the male does in the society, namely workplace and family.

To be honest, it would be really tough for a foreign women to marry a korean man. She will have to overcome all the culture and social barrier. As for a korean women to marry a foreign man, she would really be considered as a fortunate lady.

Above said are just some of my personal view points. Hold me against not.

Oh by the wayyyy. Greece is also an ideal country for tourists who prefer to spend their vacation on a yacht or a cruise ship.


Due to its position and its abundance of natural beauty, Greece offers some of the most excellent cruising and sailing anywhere in the world. Sailing provides a unique opportunity to access an infinite number of secluded shores, beaches and bays of Greek Islands, inaccessible by other means.


Arrange a sailing adventure to Crete and uncover its hidden treasures. Many cruises also include in their itineraries destinations such as Turkey, the Black Sea region, Cyprus, Israel or Egypt. Others may transport you to Malta and Italy.


On a second thought, I ought to learn how to swim first before trying out in the DEEP SEA.
Hahaha.

The Brick

bout ten years ago, a young and very successful executive named Josh was traveling down a Chicago neighborhood street. He was going a bit too fast in his sleek, black, 12 cylinder Jaguar XKE, which was only two months old.

He was watching for kids darting out from between parked cars and slowed down when he thought he saw something. As his car passed, no child darted out, but a brick sailed out and - WHUMP! - it smashed Into the Jag's shiny black side door! SCREECH..!!!! Brakes slammed! Gears ground into reverse, and tires madly spun the Jaguar back to the spot from where the brick had been thrown. Josh jumped out of the car, grabbed the kid and pushed him up against a parked car. He shouted at the kid, "What was that all about and who are you? Just what the heck are you doing?!" Building up a head of steam, he went on. "That's my new Jag, that brick you threw is gonna cost you a lot of money. Why did you throw it?"

"Please, mister, please. . . I'm sorry! I didn't know what else to do!" Pleaded the youngster. "I threw the brick because no one else would stop!" Tears were dripping down the boy's chin as he pointed around the parked car. "It's my brother, mister," he said. "He rolled off the curb and fell out of his wheelchair and I can't lift him up." Sobbing, the boy asked the executive, "Would you please help me get him back into his wheelchair? He's hurt and he's too heavy for me."

Moved beyond words, the young executive tried desperately to swallow the rapidly swelling lump in his throat. Straining, he lifted the young man back into the wheelchair and took out his handkerchief and wiped the scrapes and cuts, checking to see that everything was going to be OK. He then watched the younger brother push him down the sidewalk toward their home.

It was a long walk back to the sleek, black, shining, 12 cylinder Jaguar XKE -a long and slow walk. Josh never did fix the side door of his Jaguar. He kept the dent to remind him not to go through life so fast that someone has to throw a brick at him to get his attention. . . Some bricks are softer than others. Feel for the bricks of life coming at to you. For all the negative things we have to say to ourselves, God has positive answers.

Sofa Be Inspired

The sofa above by Igland design has specially been designed for ad agency offices, enabling its users to accommodate it, as per the requirements. This sofa, basically, consists of 4 pieces that could be connected into different ways or forms. Interestingly, you can disjoint its parts, if the need arises and at the same time can rejoin them into different forms, to cater a bigger congregation.

Personally,

I myself,


like this one. (:

A Song of an Autumn Night

Under the crescent moon a light autumn dew
Has chilled the robe she will not change --
And she touches a silver lute all night,
Afraid to go back to her empty room.
