Siwon said he would be their bodyguard and kept them from another super junior member’s annoyance, for example when Anya exposed to punishment he replaced Anya voluntarily. His father is the owner of famous trade company in Japan and owner of the largest supermarket in Korea. But these things never makes him arrogant, for example he really takes care his stuffs well though he is truly a rich man.

BOOK REVIEW : MARMUT MERAH JAMBU


    I really like reading, I read a lot of books from comics to novel but sometime I read biography. My favorite novel is marmut merah jambu by Radtya Dika. I will never get bored reading this book although I have often read it.




    In the early chapter of this book Raditya Dika told about his experience to find love when he was during school. And also he explained about how he first met with Sherina Munaf, of course Sherina's name replaced by pseudonym. In another chapter, he told about his family for example he explained about his brother's circumcision and his family's cat. The last chapter contained about his opinion of love based on his experience and observation. This is a very recommended novel because by reading marmut merah jambu we can get another definition of love that are packed nuances of humor.

    Nowadays, learning English is the important things in the world but for some people learning English would be a nightmare. It’s because some people are afraid of making mistakes so they think learning English is very difficult thing. Yap, especially when they are faced to write in English with the correct structure. Most people had already wanted to write but when they would to start write they suddenly feel scare if they remembered about the structure. Beside problems in using structure in writing, they also scared about the using of vocabulary items. They are often confused to choose the correct  vocabulary in their writing. It’s examples of why some people are afraid to learn English but actually it’s fun to learn English if we feel it’s not a burden.
