study... just in lab?

"i'll going back first.. bye.." she said.
"hey, why you come home at this hour??(for record it was 6 pm) isn't you should study? when will you study?" he said..
...
...
the first question is, why people can't leave their lab (for having dinner as an example) and study at somewhere else (library or home) ?
second question is, why should i study in front of everyone??
third question, isn't the same? if you just sit in front of your computer, and play game or just watch some entertainment in your lab.. is it study??
laptop was made for these kind of questions. from anywhere.. anytime... you are possible do your work. isn't it??
...
...
the worst thing is, on those places.. people who more frequently stay at lab (although do nothing) are considered as a work hard student..
so shame..
shame on him..

Iron's Kingdom

Gaya (Kaya), is a loosely allied confederacy of city states placed near the Nakdong river (now Gimhae). Though it's the smallest kingdom on Three Kingdom's era in Korean History, but Gaya's culture was the highest culture at that time. This Kingdom often referred to as "Iron's Kingdom" because it was a major producer of iron for this region of the world. They did trade until China, Japan and might be India (amazing! at that time!!). Cause the King's wife, Queen Heo Hwangok, was a princess of Ayutah Kingdom in India.

But, had less military power because of it's small area..

As written on history, this confederacy kingdom lasted from year 42 CE until defeated by Silla Kingdom on 532 CE. It's was the beginning of the Unified Silla Period.

Queen Heo Hwangok and she was a princess of Ayutah Kingdom in India.

these two duck pottery is Gaya Kingdom's symbol..

King Suro's tomb (1), he was the first Gaya's King.

King Suro's tomb (2) with tomb guardians (animal) statue

with my little guide, ho choun-ha, junior high student who speak english preety good!

"gate to heaven"

maybe it's because it's the tomb's entry gate..^^

But, i didn't visit the entire complex. It was raining, and my guide was bussy reading the explanation script. haha.. he supposed to memorized it, actually..

But, I took a few pictures from other's blog : http://tigersandmagpies.com/2010/02/gimhae-and-the-gaya-kingdom/ (thanks!^^)

merasa jengah di kamar..

musim panas ini udara selain terasa sangat hangat, juga terasa sangat lembab.

sambil mencari udara segar, aku pergi ke taman "eco park" di dalam kampus ku, dengan membawa sebotol air putih, novel, topi pet, dan tidak lupa.. kamera digital pocket ku. Berharap ada objek yang baik untuk di foto..

inilah, beberapa dari sekian objek yang ku foto..

di bawah langit cerah, dilindungi canopy pohon2 ini...

duduk di taman "eco park", yang berada di dalam kampus ku

segarnya...

saat itu hampir tidak ada orang di sana..

seorang ibu serta anak perempuannya, dan sepasang paruh baya yang sedang melepas lelah setelah mendaki gunung Baekyang yang jalan masuk setapaknya dapat di tempuh dari belakang asrama kami..
