Busan One Asia Festival : 부산 원아시아페스티벌 (BOF)




Busan One Asia Festival 2017 was held from 22 until October 31. There are many artists were participants in this festival. I was really lucky to be able to attend the opening ceremony is located at  Busan Asiad Main Stadium (부산 아시아드주경기장) the lineup artist was really amazing and  I can't lie, I go there because of Wanna One. 




I never really a fan of K-pop, I listen to K-pop song before but I never a fanatic fans of a group but Isna my dearest best friends introduce me to Wanna One. Wanna One is a group that forms from a reality shows "Produce 101 seasons 2" that combines or gather all the trainee from many recording companies. After doing some research and watch that program I was really in love with the group, they were to perfect for each other, but the saddest things is they will be disbanded after one year debut as a group. So I grab this chance to watch them live in this concert. There were many activities during the festival such as fan meeting, mini concert and much more, but I only manage to go to the opening concert.

Pepero Day : 빼빼로데이 :11.11.17






Pepero Day is an observance in South Korea similar to Valentine's Day but held on November 11. The current purpose of this day is to give Pepero snacks, a line of chocolate-dipped cookie sticks, to show affection for friends and loved ones. If you are wondering the stick shape of Pepero itself shows number 11 if we put one stick to another, that's why they celebrate it on November 11 every year. So to show to our 선생님 that we really love her, we decided to give her Pepero hand bouquet.

NIEED Orientation 2017

안녕하세요!!!
Well, welcome back guys!
On my previous blog post, I have already mentioned to you guys about NIIED orientation that I have been joined last week. So today I will try my best to share with you guys, about NIIED Orientation.

As you guys already knew, Dongseo University is located in Busan, so we need to travel to Seoul to go to NIIED. We gathered around at 10.50 a.m. in the morning with our belonging as we will stay there 2 days and 1 night. Note! there will be 3 different group of orientation, so if you are excited to meet all your home country friend, please make sure if they are in the same group of orientation with you or not.
the table above shows the university and which group are they in

Orientation Program
Actually, I really thought that the orientation would be held on the same days for all the student because I really wanted to meet Isna (my long lost sister from Malaysia). Isna, Ammar, and Azlin are in the same group of orientation which is group 1. Luckily DSU arrived at NIIED before they finish their orientation. Even though it was a really short meet up but it is enough for me. We have some photo together before they went back to their university. After that, Athirah, Shera, Suraya, Jar (Brunei) and I went to explore a bit. We went to many convenient stores as Athira and Jar are looking for BTS T-Money but it already sold out. Then we went back to NIIED and rest for tomorrow orientation.

 Team Malaysia


The orientation started at 9 a.m and as usual, Kelly and I went for our morning walk and have a breakfast at NIIED. The breakfast menu was okay but for Muslim like me, we actually don't have many choices. After finishing our breakfast, we have to queue up according to our language university to take our goodies and name card. For those that have to give your additional document, you need to submit it during this process. After completing everything you guys can enter the hall. Please choose your seat wisely, if you wanted to have a good view of the stages you need to seat in front and don't worry they won't bite you. Just you can get to see more clearly the performance and others presentations. As you can see on the above picture the orientation program is just like that, I mean it is really a simple tentative, maybe because we are graduated, as for the previous undergrad student, they said that they have 3 days of orientation and the activity is really interesting but I prefer this one better for sure.

and theres a new K-pop group doing the performance but I forgot their group name...죄송합니다

goodies bag from NIIED that consist tumbler and some snack

By the way guys, the lunch menu is really awesome!!!! to be compared to the menu for dinner and breakfast as they are serving fish!!!!!! Japchae, Sushi, Salmon, cakes and other food that you can't really imagine. They do feed us well during the lunch. So for Muslim, we can eat good food!!



After lunch, the program continues with basic rules and immigration explanation in which you need to know all about your alien card, passport or anything that matter during your staying in South Korea and you can ask questions directly to the person because they have Q&A session.The most interesting session for me is "meet KGSP sunbae", in this session you can really look forward to how previous KGSP survive their life with this program.Some of them even work in South Korea right after graduate and they will share their studies starting from language program until the end. I think that all that I can explain about the NIIED orientation day and for me,it was really good because we get to know better about our scholarship.

Lastly,
