WHAT I LEARN IN KOREA......

annyeonghasaeyo~~~~



as you all know already, i'm one of the participant who was sent to korea last august to attend the youth camp event...one of the activity that i really remembered is the mini asian game in which we played many games to test our team work....

one of the activity is the group ball balance where you have to balance a ball with your group to get the highest point...so i thought this game was soooooo interesting i recommend it to play during the KCC sport day..I AS ONE OF THE COMMITTEE FELT THAT I SHOULD SHARE THIS EXPERIENCE WITH OUR KCC MEMBER SO WE PLAYED DURING SPORT DAY.....



CHOPSTICK GAME: AS YOU ALL KNOW..KOREANS EAT WITH CHOPSTICK...SO WE FELT LIKE WE NEED THE MEMBER TO ACTUALLY EXPERIENCE WHAT ITS LIKE TO USE A CHOPSTICK IN A GAME,...SO WE PLAY THAT DURING THE SPORT DAY



RUBBER GAME; WE SEARCH THE INTERNET AND FOUND OUT THAT THIS IS ONE OF THE GAME WHICH KOREANS LIKE TO PLAY...SOOOO WE PREPARE IT FOR YOU TO PLAY TOO



CANDLE BLOWING AND FACE EXPRESSION: AS YOU ALL KNOW...IT WAS RAINING DURING THE SPORT DAY...RAINING IS NOT PART OF THE PLAN..SOME OUTDOOR GAME WHICH WE ALREADY PREPARE HAVE TO BE CANCELLED AND WE HAVE TO CREATE AN INDOOR GAME IMMEDIATELY........



BUT THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IS THAT ALL THIS THINGS WE PREPARED WITH GREAT EFFORT.,..I REPEAT GREAT EFFORT!!!!!!!!!!! IT NOT EASY THINKING AND PREPARING SOMETHING WHICH EVERYONE IS WILLING TO PLAY...WE COULD PLAY SOME KOREAN GAMES IF WE WANTED TO BUT AS YOU ALL KNOW WE ARE BRUNEIANS...SOME KOREAN GAMES NEED FEMALE AND MALE TO MIX WITH EACH OTHER...DO YOU WANT US TO DO THAT???? NO RIGHT BECAUSE ITS NOT PART OF THE CULTURE....ITS AGAINST OUR RELIGION AND CULTURE SO ARE YOU STILL SAYING THAT WE ARE PRETENDING TO BE KOREANS...????



TALKING ABOUT PRETENDING???? I'M 101% DO NOT UNDERSTAND......WE STILL USE OUR BRUNEIAN NAME...WE STILL SPEAK IN BRUNEIAN LANGUAGE...SOMETIME WE DO SPEAK IN KOREAN BUT THEN AGAIN THATS WHAT WE CALL 'LEARNING' AND IMPROVING OUR KOREAN LANGUAGE BECAUSE WE TOOK KOREAN LANGUAGE COURSE...DUH~~~~~~~



WE HAVE OUR OWN WAY IN CONDUCTING THE CLUB...BECAUSE ITS OUR CLUB...ITS UBD CLUB....WHY WOULD WE WANT TO FOLLOW OTHERS PEOPLE IDEA WHEN WE HAVE OUR OWN???? SERIOUSLY HOW CAN YOU IMPROVE YOURSELF IF YOU KEEP ON USING OTHER PEOPLE'S IDEA....SERIOUSLY I MEAN S.E.R.I.O.U.S.L.Y.....



IF I REMEMBERED CLEARLY...EVERY END OF ACTIVITY.. THE KCC PRESIDENT ALWAYS ASK WHETHER THE MEMBERS ENJOYED THE ACTIVITY THAT DAY AND MOST OF THEM SAID YES AND SUPRISINGLY NO ONE SAID THE NEGATIVE FEEDBACK TO US THAT TIME...ITS REALLY DISSAPOINTING TO ACTUALLY KNOW THAT SOME MEMBERS ARE NOT SATISFIED WITH THE ACTIVITY...PLEASE VOICE OUT YOUR OPINION TO US DIRECTLY FACE-TO - FACE SO THAT WE CAN ACTUALLY EXPLAIN TO YOU ALL HOW AND WHY WE CHOOSE THAT PARTICULAR GAME DURING THE ACTIVITY....



WE WANT TO DO MORE KOREAN-LIKE GAME BUT MOST OF THEM REQUIRES A LOT OF BUDGET...WE ARE STUDENTS NOT BANKERS.....DONT COMPARE OUR US WITH OTHER CULTURAL CLUB BECAUSE UNLIKE OTHER CLUBS WHICH ARE FULLY SPONSORED WE, THE KCC CLUB ARE FULLY SELF-SPONSORED...



TO ANY OF THE MEMBERS WHO ARE NOT SATISFIED WITH OUR ACTIVITY WHO THINKS OUR CLUB IS USELESS, COME TO US WITH LOGICAL AND REASONABLE COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE CLUB AND WE WILL REFUND YOUR MEMBERSHIP PAYMENT...I REPEAT 'LOGICAL AND REASONABLE COMPLAINTS'



IF YOU ONLY COME FOR ONE OR TWO ACTIVITY...THERE WILL BE NO REFUNDS BECAUSE WE THINK THAT ITS NOT ENOUGH FOR YOU TO JUDGE THE KCC JUST BY COMING A FEW TIMES......



I KNOW THATSOME MEMBERS ARE REALLY ACTIVE AND FULLY ACCEPTED OUR ACTIVITY...THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THOSE MEMBERS...THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT..THANK YOU FOR SUPPORTING BRUNEIANS AND NOT LISTENING TO FOREIGNER OPINIONS.....



SEE YOU GUYS IN THE NEXT ACTIVITY



THANK YOU VERY MUCH.....
