Eyra's Works of Arts

Eyra's extra-curricular has been 'clay-making' class. Yup, she's really into play-doh.  

The other day..she just dropped herself right in front of the door as soon as she reached the floor. 

hmm..wonder why. It turned out..she's a bit tired after making this. 

Well, it is intricately nice. 

But..she told me that it took her her arms and legs (noo....just kidding) to make this Spongebob notebook+post-it came to life.^^ 

BUUUUUTTT...just when I thought she'd finished or given up making any more crafts with play-doh...she made Baskin Robbin like play-doh. 

And even she made the BR sign by herself. 

Okay...let's have some ice cream, then.

Eyra's School Textbooks

 It's amazing to think that Eyra managed to 'survive' the first year of her Elementary year in Korea. She never learned Korean before prior to coming to Korea. But, amazingly she sort of managed to weave herself through the rigorous but cheerful learning at the Korean elementary school.

This is her 2nd year at the elementary school. 

And this is the 2nd Korean language textbook or 국어 that she has to master, again.^^

It's a relief that one thing this textbook emphasizes is how to 'lure' and 'make' the students be creative in expressing themselves.

Eyra is now used to using, learning, reading, writing in Hangeul than in English alphabets...: frankly speaking this is something that makes me puzzled+perplexed at the same time.

She's now exposed to all things Korean: either in math or language. She has to learn maths in Koreans' perspective. The environment where she is now living gives a somewhat an additional advantage to this phase. But surely, I have some worries as she will only be staying in Korea until her 4th grade...and by then..we'll have to move back to Indonesia.

Oh, well..I am sure that she'll manage it again.^^ 

I just love the books: first: my impression as I got these books was like" wow, this is what a book should be like: well, although we can't just judge the book by its cover...I think the colorful covers do indeed reflect the colorful arrays of activities being offered to the students."

Eyra & Freya's Tight-but-happy Days

Hanbok time. It is already autumn, yes..indeed. But, wearing hanbok inside the house is still ok as long as they are not wearing it outside...^^ (oh, it's 8 degrees Celcius). We got a hanbok as a gift from my wife's friend. The kids love it so much that they take turn wearing it.

It's still too big for you, eh, Freya?

Now, it's Eyra's turn. A complete touch with a traditional pouch on her right hand seamlessly perfected the hanbok experience. Oh, don't forget the 'V' shaped finger salute--a typical Korean photo-session gesture--that should not be missed^^

This is the day when Eyra had a cultural celebration in conjunction with her school anniversary. Since it was the early week of Autumn and the sky was bright blue, all of the families came along to cheer up the festivities. Just look at the red marks on Eyra's cheek--a used-to-be symbol of beauty in Korea.

Ooo..pps what does this picture do to be in this entry? Anyway....Freya was playing along with one of the camera apps. Her eonni made this one.

What a cute little Freyalaphant eating ice cream^^.

Back to the school's day out: Eyra was in the dressing room getting dressed--of course. Her sister, willingly accompanied her, seemed to be happy being around other friends of her sister's.

Get ready....and go!!!

Eyra was dancing along with her other fellow friends at the schoolyard during the Autumn festival. She seemed to enjoy it.

Eyra and her friends, this time...the boys were out, too. They seemed to enjoy the rest of the days doing some parade, dancing and singing along.

She looked so adorable. ^^

Wait...what is it? Ok, just read my other entry on a trip to Andong or 안동시 (Andong City).

It was full of great experiences.
