I am a Korean classical musician,

- Korean flute, a small-notched bamboo vertical flute, a Korean fiddle -

I was interested in "Korean flute" when I was in high school so I had learnt it.

The person who taught me Korean flute is master 일초(一超) Kim Jong Hee(87) and member of the National Classical Music Institute.

I only learnt Korean flute at the first.
After watching he played a small-notched bamboo vertical flute I learnt it too.
Finally I bought a Korean fiddle as well after listening sound of a Korean fiddle which was played by him. It was amazing sound.

Unfortunately, I had to go military service so I could not learn a Korean fiddle much.
From joining the army to now, I haven't played Korean traditional musical instruments therefore I almost forgot how to play.

However, I want to learnt Korean traditional musical instruments again someday soon.

My Father's Letter In A National Defense Newspaper

When I was in military service, a company commander called me. the reason that my father letter was carried in a national defense newspaper.

It was a big issue in our company and the award was mentioned but it didn't make it ^^ haha.

When I had a holiday, a company commander gave me a liquor that was gift from a battalion commander for my father.

However, my father don't drink any alcoholic drink so the liquor is still in Korea.

The efficacy of The Manuka Honey


Bee Vital Manuka Honey & Comvita manuka honey (Comvita product)

The cost is between about $7(Bee Vital Manuka Honey) to $12(Comvita manuka honey)
for 500g of Manuka honey.

Manuka Honey is good for the stomach.
Therefore, I tried it a few days and it was really effective.

In the morning or before going to the bed, if you drink a class of the cool water with one spoon of Manuka Honey, a burning feeling has gone in your stomach and recover from your fatigue.

Especially, good for someone who has a bad breath.

15분 짜짱면 집에서 간단히 만들기

집에서 간단히 만드는 Home-made 자장면...(2인 기준)

* 재료 *

짜장면발
춘장 2스푼
전분 1스푼
냉동야채
다진고기 (250g)
오일(식용유,올리브유,기타)
설탕 조금

* 요리시간 *
15 - 20 분사이



1.짜장면발을 삶아주세요 (5- 10분정도) 면발에 따라서 달라요!


2. 면발을 삶는 동안 후라이펜에 올리브유를 두른후
냉동야채와 다진고기를 잘 볶아줍니다.


3. 꾸미랑 면발이 거의 다 익었네요


4. 꾸미들이 어느정도 볶아지면
춘장하고 전분(뒤에 중국말로 쓰인 하얀색)을 준비해주세요.


5. 그럼 이제 꾸미랑 면발들을 다른 접시에 옮겨줍니다.

6. 춘장을 2스푼 넣고 올리브유를 살짝 두른후에잘 볶아 줍니다. (1-2분정도)

7. 잘 볶아진 춘장위에 야채와 고기 볶음을 넣고 같이 잘 섞어줍니다.

8. 대접에 물 200ml정도(작은컵으로 한컵)정도 넣고
전분 1스푼을 넣은후에 잘 풀어서 춘장과 야채볶아서 만든 소스에 넣어주면
약간 걸죽한 느낌이 나게 변합니다.

9. 마지막으로 소스에 자장면발을 넣고 잘 섞어 줍니다.


완성된 자장면 모습! 김치랑 맛있게 드시면 되요!


*참고*
춘장은 맛을 보신후 싱거우시면 더 넣으셔도 되고
고기도 더 많이 먹고 싶으시면 더 넣으시면 됩니다.
그리고 마지막쯤에 전분과 섞은 물을 넣었을때 너무 묽은 느낌이 나면 전분을 더 넣으시고
된느낌이 나면 물을 살짝 더 넣어주시면 됩니다.

(그리고 기호에 따라서 설탕을 넣으면 더욱 맛이 난답니다)

Lemon zest (Lemon Juice)


How much lemon essence can be got from one squeezed lemon??

You can get 600ml of Lemon Juice from 20 lemons
so 600 / 20 = 30ml form one Lemon Juice


Do you know how much you need to pay for buying a bottle of lemon squeeze in a shop?
It costs $2 for 250ml and $4 for 500ml.


If you pay $2 for 5 fresh lemons, you can only get 150ml of lemon juice and 300ml for 10 lemon.

Then, how BERRI company sell $4 for 500 ml of a bottle of lemon squeeze ??

I was just wondering about this kind of thing during squeezing Lemon zest at work.

TAFE Campus (ULTIMO)

There is a collage which is managed by government. It is TAFE. There are tens of campus in Australia. Where you go you can see TAFE.

I studyed at ULTIMO campus which is the one of the biggest one in TAFE NSW - Sydney Institute. I had studied for 3 years and 2month including English Language School.

Let's see pictures of TAFE ULTIMO Campus.

TAFE Main entrance

It looks like a side entrance. ^^ Two years ago, the Building E was constructed and another entrance was made just next to the Building E . There are always security guards at TAFE and they patrolled the campus therefore, it is safe anytime during staying at TAFE.

If you go straight pass the main entrance, you can meet English Language Centre.

English Language Centre (Building H)

If you want to study at TAFE, you may need IELTS 5.5 point in general. In another hand, you can study at TAFE English Language Centre. If you pass EFT(English For TAFE) Level 4, you can admit at TAFE without IELTS point.

It is good for person who is usually unlucky in exam or doesn't like TEST. It would be better to study at TAFE English Language Centre and you can also learn how to do presentation which will give an idea when you study at TAFE. It is a long story to talk about TAFE English Language Centre so I will finish it for now.

Next place is the TAFE Library

TAFE Library (Building D)

Someone may recognise that TAFE Building were named from A to Z. It may be named for finding buildings easily without confusion. TAFE Library is opened from Mon to Fri (9:00 - 20:00) and Sat (12:00-16:00) for students who study at English Language Centre or at TAFE. Unfortunately, closed on Sunday. If you are not TAFE student, you can not use a computer and borrow book(because they check student ID card)but you can read books or study at library. In summer it is good to study in library with good air-condition. Moreover, inside of library is big and quiet so good for study. There is computer lap on G(Ground Level) and library is on Level 1-2.

Now, I will show you New Building E where I mostly study. This building is taken lessons for Hospitality Management, Cookery,Baking and Fashion Design.

TAFE Side entrance

It is a short cut to go inside of TAFE campus. There is also another entrance that is connected through the life directly to go Building E.

Outside of Building E

Inside of Building E.

There are lockers for Cookery, Baking, Hospitality Management students to keep clothes, tool boxes but you need to bring your own lock. It can be used only a day when you have a class. If you want to use your own lockers, you need to pay for that!(Go to student association centre on building Z and ask them!)

The Apprentice Restaurant

This is The Apprentice restaurant in Building E on Level 7. In last semester, Cookery students cook for customers in kitchen and Hospitality Management students serve customers. For lunch menu (3course menu)-$20 , for Dinner (4 course menu)-$25.

First picture -before setting, second picture -after setting, last picture just right before getting guest!!

Bar section in the restaurant

There are many kinds of real beverage like Fine dining Restaurant (including Wine)

TAFE Meeting point(Emergency evacuation practice)

Emergency evacuation practice. There were students from Building E and they were enjoying chatting....
