Perpustakaan (atau kantin ya?) favorit di Seoul

Jadi belakangan ini ada tempat-tempat yang jadi favorit gw banget kalo ke Seoul. Awalnya sih karena pas gw dateng ke sana di musim panas, jadi mau jalan-jalan keluar tuh capek juga kalo outdoor terus. Jadi pengennya ngadem aja dan jalan-jalan kalo udah adem. Solusinya adalah gw ke perpustakaan seharian baca buku dan nongkrong sambil nunggu matahari tenggelam.  😙 Awalnya gw emang cuma sekedar tour keliling Seoul cari perpustakaan yang menarik dan nyaman, tapi gw menemukan better deal lagi yaitu kantinnya! Jadi biasanya perpustakaan umum di Korea itu akan gabung sama community center jadi pastinya ada banyak banget fasilitas umum warga disitu, salah satunya adalah kantin yang murah meriah! Makanan di restoran di Seoul biasanya udah menyentuh harga 10.000 won per meal, tapi kalo gw ke kantin ini bisa makan lengkap dengan harga mulai dari 5500-6500 won aja. Wow gak tuh. Jadi kegiatan gw pas musim panas kemarin bener-bener pagi ke perpus, baca buku, siang makan di kantin, baca buku ...

Being competitive for the most trivial things

As you might have read from yesterday's post, I'm just a really competitive person for the most trivial things. It's like that for as long as I remember.

Me and my siblings used to compete for the weirdest stuff. 

To be the first person to open the house door after arriving home

To be the first person to enter the house

To be the first person who eats the snack when it is first opened.

To be the first person who finish eating

To be the first person who touch something (if there is something new or just things we talked about)

and so on. 

At school, I also just can't throw away that habit. I will be that person who writes really really fast so I can be the first one who finish writing notes and I will shout 'DONE!' 💀

Or finish eating my lunch first. 

At work, I'm still doing it lol.

If we have something to do, like filling in a survey or something, I will fill it in first and then said 'DONE!'. Or if we have a quiz or something, I just go crazy to guess the answer.

Before the pandemic, I will be the first person standing in line for lunchtime. 💀💁

Especially in 'labor' work. When my department held an event and we had this lanyard that we need to set up (put the card inside, and put the hanger on it), I will be gladly joining the force to work on it and make this competition of 'who's finishing the most lanyard'. Of course, I won. HAHAHA.

Most of the time I 'announce' the competition, like I will say to my friend 'Let's see who finish it the fastest!', but sometimes I will just secretly compete and then secretly disappointed when I lose, or just secretly happy when I win. So sometimes people who don't know me maybe don't get it if I just suddenly let out a big sigh or suddenly in a good mood. When it was just me and my 'secret' competition.

One time, I and my colleague discussed my competitive nature for the most unimportant matter, meanwhile, she doesn't have any competitive greed. She thinks it is because I have a lot of siblings, so probably in daily life, we are just directly or indirectly 'need' to compete with one another. And she is the only child in her family. So there is no need for here to compete in anything at home. Sounds plausible.

I don't know, it's just fun to do. haha.
