Dae Jang Geung Celebrating Idul Fitri (Oct 14th, 2007)


Dae Jang Geung Celebrating Idul Fitri

In Every Idul Fitri our house always becomes the center of our neighborhood. Maybe it’s because we have stayed here longer than the rest. The guests will come in a very new and fresh outfit they have. We,… don’t ask. The ritual of wearing new clothes had gone for years. Even if we bought some fabrics, we couldn’t wear it since mom will never have enough time to sew them.  
This is our rituals. Wake up lazily in the morning, pray, asking for forgiveness, and wait for the guests to come. Wait for a little while to make sure that all of our neighbors have visited us. Next, change the clothes to the very usual one because you are going to be busy in the kitchen making cookies. It’s been our habit to make cookies on Idul Fitri day. 

New Trend
So, this year we want to impress others with our look, new refreshing and odd look. The night before Idul Fitri, I suggested my sisters to wear Hanbok (Korean traditional outfit) since I have some. Well, I usually buy second-hand Hanbok for every school language festival, so I have some. 
They liked the idea and in the morning as usual after bathing we used the attire. But that day none of us (my sisters and I) prayed. You know why of course. Therefore, we waited at home looking glamour in our Hanbok.

When the guests came we caught some curious look from our guests. We were so satisfied (what a narcissist!). Somehow our satisfaction didn’t last long when we found out that the visitors were not as many as the previous Idul Fitri. 

“Jang Geum, Jang Geum”
We couldn’t show up T__T. Yet, my two sisters came out with their own ideas. When my mom asked them to give something to my mom customer, they insisted on wearing that attire (See, we’re a real narcissist!). 
Upon returning they said some kids screaming “Jang Geum, Jang Geum” at them. Jang Geum is one of the most favorite Korean drama where the actresses wearing Hanbok all the times. 

They were very excited. Finally, they could show the outfit to others ^^~. Then we took our pictures in Hanbok. 
Hmm, it felts like somewhere in Andong (one of the place in South Korea famous for its tradition). 

To comple the day, we took our family pictures still in Hanbok. It sure is a different type of Idul Fitri for us ~^^*

프라이팬 놀이/Frying Pan Game/BTS

Playing Frying Pan Game/BTS We played a new game called Frying pan game (프라이팬 놀이) with our Korean guests in our Korean Class. It was fun. It’s like catching the mouse game. We learn the Korean numbers in the same time.  Say, if your friend mentions your name and the number, you have to mention your name according to the number he/she mentions previously.  For example, if your friend says "Dana dul (2)", so you have to say your name twice, "Dana...Dana" and so on and so on. If you make a mistake, well, you get the punishment. The type of the punishment depends on the agreement of the players. They are many types, trust me. Just choose one.  This game was played on one of the TV programs in Korea hosted by Kang Ho Dong (강 호 동), Hye Ryong said. 재미 있네요. 우리 애들이 놀이를 좋아해요.  But hey! BTS too played this game on one of their TV shows.  You can check out the video  here  So far, we have learned many Korean games. Mostly we got...

Historical Visit

Historical Visit Besides visiting Baduy. We also visited the old Banten. Banten used to be the most popular kingdom. It is known till England. Once their representative visited England and they were welcomed exaggeratedly. Banten is famous because it had an international port for trading. People from many countries visited it. Unfortunately there’s disagreement between the father—Sultan Ageng Tirtayasa—and the son—Sultan Haji who collaborated with the Dutch—which lead to the destruction of the palace and the vanquishing the offspring of the royal family. They now spread everywhere. The remnant was unknown back then till recently on the initiative of one person there the digging was conducted. During the old regime, Old Banten was stated to be dead site. So, not like Borobudur temple, the Old Banten remained infamous. The reconstruction was done very slowly. You can see in my pictures there. Instead now, the site is famous for the people who believe in magic tricks. They wh...
