이 문 세- 사랑은 늘 도만가 (Lee Moon Sae- Love always runs away).
눈물이 난다 이 길을 거르먼, 그사람 송길이 삭쿠 생가기 난다. 봍잡지 뫁하고 가슴만 떠렀지 내 아름답던 사람아.
사랑일안게 참쓸인 거덜아 잡을여 할술옥 더 멀어 지덜아 입열일인게
참쉬운 거둘아 내 있지 뫁알 사람아.
사랑아 왜 돔앙가 숮웁은 아잋얼엄, 행여 노합얼일깝와 꼭 움겆위짐안 글이움이 쪼차 살앙은 늘 돔앙가 잠시 쉬어감연 좋을텐데.
I really like this song. Clara Hong covered this song on her journey in Superstar K and I thought she performed it beautifully.The lyrics are so touching so I thought I'd share it with all my Korean friends. Please make corrections as appropriate Thank you :)
발암이 분다 옷기슬 세워도, 착아운 입열위 눈물이 차올라 잇지 뫁애써 갓음에 삼웇인 내 소중햇던 사람아.
사랑아 왜 돔앙가 숮웁은 아잋얼엄, 행여 노합얼일깝와 꼭 움겆위짐안 글이움이 쪼차 살앙은 늘 돔앙가 잠시 쉬어감연 좋을텐데.
기달임도 앹애움도 다 버려얀은데, 무얼차자 익일을 서성일까. 무얼차자 역일인나.
사랑아 왜 돔앙가 숮웁은 아잋얼엄, 행여 노합얼일깝와 꼭 움겆위짐안 글이움이 쪼차 살앙은 늘 돔앙가 잠시 쉬어감연 좋을텐데. 잠시 쉬어감연 좋을텐데....
Romanized version:
무얼찾아 이길을 서성일까
무얼찾아 여길있나
사랑아 왜 도망가 수줍은 아이처럼 행여 놓아버릴까봐 꼭 움켜쥐지만
그림움이 쫒아 사랑은 늘 도망가 잠시 쉬어가면 좋을텐데
잠시 쉬어가면 좋을텐데

Inside the mind of a shy person and an outgoing person
Situation: At a bus stop
Key: the * sign will be used in context to describe the scenario...
*Shy person is first at the bus stop. Sits down, gets phone and headsets out of bag/pocket. Music in-world out. Constantly looks to check if bus is arriving.*
*Outgoing person walks towards the bus stop. Shy person notices and pretends not to notice. But the things is you were in their peripheral vision even before you reached the bus stop.*
Shy person's thoughts: please don't talk to me. Must- not- give-eye contact. Oh for goodness sake why am I so awkward. Ok look busy. Look at your phone. Let's see, games...
Outgoing person's thoughts:
Hmmmm I wonder what time the bus is coming. Let's have a look at this notice board. Hmmm 7:30... you can't rely on these times though. Ah I'm running late. Wait,that person might know. They look busy. Oh we'll... let me ask. "Excuse me."
Shy person: Great, now I have to engage in small talk.
Outgoing person: "Do you by chance know what time the next bus is coming."
Shy person: "Erm... I'll...check....I'll check on my phone....er for you.
Outgoing person: "Thank you."
Shy person: *checks on phone.* "5 more minutes.....till the next bus."
Outgoing person:"Ah right. Thanks mate."
Shy person: "Anytime." *awkward smiles whilst looking at the person. Then resumes back to game on phone. There's momentary silence, then*
Outgoing person:Gosh it's so awkward here. What can I say to break the ice. I know..."You know what these buses are like...you can't rely on them can you?"
Shy person: "Haha yeh".... gosh I'm such a turtle...
Outgoing person: "It's a lovely day as well. Hopefully it'll stay that way. Are you going anywhere special?"
Shy person: "Ahaha no." Really? All you could say is 'haha no'? Be polite. Ask them something sensible. You seem rude. "Are you....going to a special. .." ?
*mumbles the words place*
Outgoing person: "Just a night out with some friends. It their bird's (British slang for girlfriend) birthday. We're off for a few pints (beers) and then hitting the club (going out). I actually....
*person keeps talking. Shy person is listening but dying to go back to their game although they feel more comfortable with this stranger. Bus is now arriving.
Shy person: Phew. The bus saved me...
And that is the end of this week's creative writing. Please note that this is just for fun and no offense was intended..
But honestly.. which one are you?
SHY or OUTGOING?
I know which I am. You'll have to guess [emoji]

Overdue creative writing... 'A stitch in time saved nine'
A stich in time saves nine
在时间上施蒂希省九
시간에 스티치 가 구 를 저장
Un point à temps sauver neuf
I always heard my mother quoting this whenever she scolded me. Little did I know the profound effect of applying this counsel in your everyday life. See as humans, we all differ. Our attributes, characteristics and values influence the way we relate to people, and to the world around us; and how we use discernment to govern the decisions we make everyday.
We all have different personalities; some are idealists (INFP), some are mediators, some are innovative. But we can all learn from this one proverb. How many of us have left things till last minute? How many of us have had so many opportunities to complete a certain task with a specific deadline, but procrastinate and end up rushing through it? In our lives, time could become a friend or a fiend. It is up to us to decide what we will make of the time that we have to complete tasks. So friends, if you have a project, an assignment or any task that should be completed, it is better for you to "stich" it, or get it done AS SOON AS POSSIBLE, and figuratively save yourself 'stitching nine', or spending triple the time to complete the task a few moments before the deadline. Sometimes we have to learn the hard way and face the consequences of procrastination. I hope all of us can get things done in time-in this ever demanding world.
So this is the creative writing for this week. It is in fact, reflective writing. I hope you all enjoyed reading it and take something from it.
Have a good week!

Creative writing every Friday...
Good afternoon friends. It has been a while. Due to secular work and university projects, I've been busy and haven't had a chance to exchange a lot with you all.
Therefore, I have devised a way to help you learn English even when I'm offline. To be competent (or fluent) in English, it is very important to understand the grammatical rules. So writing sentences is just as important as speaking; if not more important. The more you read and write English, the more grammar you'll understand; and the more confident and fluent you'll become. This can be said for most languages.
So, every Friday I am planning to write a notebook entry in the form of a story or creative writing. This covers the writing and grammar part. Hopefully this technique will help you all to understand English literature and literacy (speaking and listening).
So if you're interested, starting from this Friday I'll be doing creative writing in my notebook entries.
I hope you all have a nice day ☺.

이론하요(Stand Up)...song by J-Min
This song is really inspiring so I wanted to practice writing the lyrics out..but some of the Hangul spelling is probably wrong...Anyway I hope you all like it :).
Hangul:
"사람이 힘들어도 킄앚지 복이마라,
하늘이 내 겨들 조경을 커야.
노예 발걸음이, 힘겨워 솔이 내요.
좆이오 안자 한 손 지요 보지만 한번도, one more try..
당당 하 개 하늘을 봐, 이조실 차길 본이야"…
English:
Even if life is hard, don’t quit until the end
The sky will protect your side
Your footsteps are heavy, make some noise
You sink down and let out a sigh
But one more time, one more try
Look to the sky confidently
Now is just the beginning
Open your shoulders...
Romanized:
Salmi himdeu-reodo kkeut-kkaji po-gi mara haneu-ri ne kyeo-seul jikyeojul keoya
Neoye bal-keo-reumi himkyeowo sori naeyeo jujeo-wanja hansum jiyeo bojiman
Hanbeon deo! One more try
Dangdang-ha-ge haneu-reul bwah ije shijagil ppuniya...
