CHUSEOK




Last days, when tried to communicate with a Korean supplier, our manager said that it would be unavailable now since it was holidays in Korea. Yes, looking at the Korean calendar, 18 to 20 September are marked red, means it is national holidays.
They celebrated Chuseok, it is mid autumn or harvest festival. Some said that it is also like Thanksgiving Day ala Korean. There is also customs for the Korean to return hometown to respect their ancestors. Our manager said it is just like Ied Mubarakh holidays in Indonesia.

And the beverage being served that day for the Korean managers is below (I thought it must be the traditional/special food during Chuseok). My manager explained that these all called “tteok”, means cake. 




1) Songpyeon might be the main cake on Chuseok. It was made of glutinous rice with filling of sweet-bean-nut, etc. Ehmm it tasted like ‘mochi’ because of the tough texture.
2) Mujigae tteok, mujigae means ‘rainbow’ as you can see by the colorful cake. Ehmm it is also rice cake but the texture is like ‘thiwul’ ^^

Last year Chuseok, one manager also brought these various traditional foods but none of them is my favorite (and other friends neither ^^). Anyway, I think it’s just because my tongue is so Indonesian … ^

Taare Zameen Par

Taare Zameen Par ~ “Like Stars on Earth” (released 21 December 2007) is another movie from Aamir Khan that I adore after Three Idiots and Ghajini . It is really really really a touching and beautiful movie. It tells about an eight-year-old-boy, named Ishaan, who is dyslexic but blessed with excellent painting talent. Taare Zameen Par received numerous awards, including the Filmfare Best Film Award for 2008 and the 2008 National Film Award for Best Film on Family Welfare . It was India's official entry for the 2009 Academy Awards Best Foreign Film but it failed to progress to the nominations short list.

THE BISCUIT GAME

I was watching Running Man episode 126, which was aired as the last episode in 2012, with Choi Ji Woo as the guest star. In this episode, the funny scene is when Kim Jong Kook doing his mission to obtain a star by playing “biscuit game” with Yoo Jae Suk. Biscuit game uses long-stick-chocolate-biscuit and is played by two persons. One bites and the other moves. The goal is to obtain shortest piece of biscuit after both eating them. Besides game, it is also romantic for couple. However, can you imagine if it’s the muscle-Commander who did it with Grasshopper? It’s laugh bursting!  Kim Jong Kook chose Yoo Jae Suk as his partner to do the mission. Tiger, who can’t eat sweet chocolate, chose to bite the biscuit. It means Grasshopper had to approach eating out the chocolate part.
