firstly, I have never understood why people would aim at me. I remembered the times where I really care about people using my pictures. but it seems like now I find it more like a joke. it’s just super funny.

growing up I had tonnes of haters. especially people who do not know me personally. they often said that they just hated how I look. well, I guess my face isn’t very well liked. but yet there are people who like my unfriendly look. a few years ago this girl used my pictures and turned me into a lesbian. I messaged her and she said she would remove my pictures if I send her a naked picture of myself. =___=. well, I was young and naive. I didn’t even know why I would talk to an identity theft. anyways, that isn’t very interesting.

until.

my imposter is WAYYYYYYY more popular than myself.

in Japan! (can guarantee that she’s Japanese because some pictures had that geo tagging thing which revealed that the posts were posted at Tokyo.)

hello my name is Yui. hahahaha. thanks to this, Yui is now my nickname. even if I beg or ask my friends 1 by 1 for likes for a picture, I DOUBT that I can even get more than 300. and whaaaaaaa?? 700?! and over 100 comments. wow. I remembered I joined some contest a few years ago which required me to get the most likes but I failed because my friends would just ignore my message. well, I am like that too. which is why I hate these type of stupid, time-wasting contests. only did it because I really wanted the prize lol. got it anyway.

fuiyoh even watermarked so well like as if it’s her own picture! she stole all my pictures from my blog. which means, she had to crop out my watermark for each and every picture. which she did.

fulamak I hope I had skinny legs like those. asked my Japanese friend about what she wrote about and apparently it was all innocent positive words which every Japanese guy would fall for. tsk. okay.

she/he/it speaks English too! almost every picture she posted has shares, over 600 likes and loads of comments.

the guy who informed me was Jap too. I had a Jap friend read the message and hence I found out about this imposter profile. I didn’t want it to be deleted actually. because I wanted to see how popular can “Yui” be. but sadly when I shared this funny incident on facebook all my friends reported and it got deleted like in almost an hour. I didn’t know facebook became so efficient. I really want to thank the guy who informed me because this made my day. but the thing was, I went into his profile and I saw my own pictures (with watermark) posted all over his wall. I do not know if I should be happy. D=. I guess Japs like my unlikable (in Malaysia) face. I should move to Japan.

on the very same day I went for Sundae (Korean blood japchae sausage roll thingy) with Wai Kit and he got so engrossed with the funny comments my friends posted but later found out that the post was somewhat deleted before we could read all the comments. I do not get it. I posted about the profile and much more but how did me posting the LINK result in the loss of the WHOLE post. =S. oh well. I did not get to see the 40+ comments because I went out. Wai Kit was curious if I had any more imposters so he facebooked my name. and guess what he found?

hello, I am a beautician. and I am such an illiterate I can’t spell college. hahahahahahahhahaha. and with MY name. awesome man. totally awesome. except this Jamie Liew has only 1 friend. still amusing anyway.

PS : I should really learn how to market myself like Yui. crap I really want to know! nobody even likes my facebook page even though it is open. I guess I should aim at the Japanese market. HAHAHAHA. first step to gaining popularity : learn Japanese.

anyways, I thought you’d find this amusing too.

or 22 in Korean age.

finally I can enter Zouk without worrying if they’ll check my IC. oh well, not like I will be able to go to Zouk anytime soon. at least now I can go to the Casino too. basically everywhere in Malaysia. I heard there are bars which only people over age of 30 could enter in Japan and there are clubs in Korea which doesn’t allow people over 30 hahaha.

but seriously, shit I feel so old T______T. I don’t exactly feel like I am 21 yet. I am still such a kiddo. super childish =S.

on my birthday, it’s actually the “chukje/festival” week for my school so nobody was free. like NOBODY. but thank goodness I had Kenji to spend it with =3.

went to a nice Japan-based Italian restaurant named Kitchen Salvatore Cuomo in Apgujeong. it was really really really good. plus the service was superb. apparently according to Kenji, it’s really Japan style. they had baskets prepared for bags and stuff. staffs can speak Italian (not sure if fluent or just for orders/chef language) and Japanese (fluent). pretty sure they can speak good English as well. there was like 2 of them who spoke to Kenji and they were super fluent in Jap D=. these days, even being a waiter requires you to be multilingual. =S.

some smoked salmon bread starter. was REALLY REALLY REALLY good. I mean, it is REALLY good. haha. given that this much costing about 45rm, it better be. but it was really so darn good wtf.

Kenji was so sweet that he looked up for nice restaurants and found this lovely place. it is famous among Japanese people here and they recommended this place to him some time back.

trust me this is candid! I envy people who look great candid. but most of them don’t look as good in non-candids. hahaha.

apparently the only place in Korea which serves authentic Neapolitan pizza’s! I don’t usually eat the crust. but I loved this one. it’s indeed very cheesy but somehow light and not too heavy. I love cheese but sometimes too much cheese makes you sick. but this one? not at all. I had the same pizza when I went to Nami Island and the flavour is SO FAR from this. this one’s.. simple yet tasty. the one in Nami was almost tasteless.

beef pasta! I don’t actually know the names for all these dishes since they were all in Italian. =S. I had to read all the descriptions (which was explained in detail in Korean) to choose which to order. I am a big fan of pasta. but I didn’t know that such pasta exists. so far I only had cream, tomato and olive oil pasta. but this was the bomb out of all pasta’s I’ve tried. some time ago, some famous Italian chef went to Genting and I tried his Penne but it wasn’t even half as good as this. and it was so kind of the cautious staffs who divided the pasta’s into 2 plates. and according to Kenji, it’s Japan style as Japanese people takes customer service very seriously D=.

I didn’t dare to camwhore so much since everyone there was quite err.. well older. I don’t know how to describe how perfect this restaurant was. they had planned everything so well. they had like 3 female toilets and 1 male knowing how ladies are much more fussy when it comes to washrooms.

I knew I was going to spend my birthday with the rest later on but I just had to blow some candles on my birthday!

so here’s my 21 years old candle =D. NOT 22 YET! heck stupid Korean age T_T. I have to introduce myself as a 22 year old here =S.

anyway, I had Italian AGAIN (CM’s Box. the restaurant which is decorated like a tool box. I love this place!) for my 2nd birthday dinner. I invited more than 20 people but only 7 showed up T_T. how sad. well it’s the exam/festival period. so..

the 2 Malaysians =D. Wai Kit and Yie Chern.

Korean, Jap, Malaysian and America. this is what I call globalization hahhah.

woke up late and hadn’t even have time for my hair D=. ran about for an hour in search for a nice cake too T_T.

everyone who came! <3. thank you all for coming <3. the 2 Korean’s behind are my school mates =D. aren’t they just so cute or what?!

cold stone’s ice cream cake > baskin robbin’s.

I believe I’ve blogged about CM’s Box for many times. I don’t know what else to say about it other than it being absolutely delicious and affordable.

there’s this thing in Korea called the 2-cha (e-cha). it means the 2nd round. they can go up till 5-cha. or even more. but we were all tired since most of us were helping out at the festival the day before.

so for 2-cha, we headed to this really good Makgeolli place in Sinchon which serves dong-dong-ju (makgeolli) in real bamboo cups at 3,000won each. they also serve the best (and the spiciest) kimchi and muk ever. we first ordered the Modum Jeon (17,000won). you dip it on the soy-sauce eating it with the onion =3. yum.

Tom, Seong-il, myself and Yu Jin.

Nokdu-jeon (12,000won). green pea pancake? I think. it was SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO GOOD. I didn’t know such greatness exists in Korea T_T. especially good with the soy sauce. it’s something I’d definitely order again the next time I am here. forget about the Modum-jeon (which was already good actually. but this is BETTERRRRR).

I forgot what this is called but it’s ESCARGOT! (15,000won) with noodles. super spicy escargot. Yu Jin loved this. I like it too but I still prefer the Nokdu-jeon more haha.

the 2 who came later. there’s also Hyukjin but I forgot to take a picture with him T_T. anyway that’s Matt and Igor! Matt’s my class monitor (senior) and Igor’s currently in Yonsei’s Underwood International College. so he came from Incheon!!! <3. my class monitor is one of the greatest people I’ve ever met. a person of chivalry and pride. social butterfly and good in studies. he’d always organized events and is the MC in any event. super gobsmacked by how he can balance everything so well.

I was already a little drunk after 2 cups of makgeolli. their cup here is huge. it’s like almost 1 bottle of makgeolli T_T. and you get drunk faster on makgeolli. it’s true. but ah~ such a good life.

PS : no reader wished me. tsk tsk. T_T. now you know what to do *wink wink*.

to you who’s visiting Seoul within this week : you’re in luck!!! because it’s the Buddha’s birthday next month and Cheonggyecheon (and well, most parts of Seoul) is decorated so prettily.

pretty no? even prettier at night. but I have lousy camera skills T_T my night shots were horrible.

attended R-16; a 3-3 B-Boy dance battle competition! with Cassie =3. my friend from Hong Kong! odd thing is that I do not seem to hang out with Koreans much. what’s wrong with me?! T_T. Koreans, come lets hang out =S.

and by luck, there was this Hi!Seoul festival going on with food from ALL OVER THE WORLD! which is awesome. because I long to try food from everywhere. I am normally thrifty but I splurged on street food that are not worth their price on that day.

some Egyptian food consists of pasta, rice and some nuts or whatever bean they are. and a nice yummy layer of ketchup topping it!

hi =D.

because we had many Brazilian friends. surprisingly, there are a LOT of Brazilian born Koreans.

Argentinian food =3.

it was.. very Latin American. what am I saying. this is the first time eating Argentinian food. but I can say it isn’t very well suited to Asians. but it’s not bad really. =3. love their garnish though. nothing without it hahaha.

Afghanistan food! it’s like curry satay. very nice =3. mmm.

AND MALAYSIAN FOOD! when I went there i suddenly felt like as if I am in Penang. but 5,000won for Nasi Lemak that costs less than RM3 in Malaysia? no thanks. =S.

we bought some nasi kuning with some sweetened Malaysian curry. it was pretty Malaysian but not very good. but good because I hadn’t had it for super long. anyway they gave us FREE sago with gula melaka! =3. my HK friend couldn’t accept it. she thinks that it is very pungent but… oh well less man more share =P.

Sri Lankan food. some egg apom thingy with spicy as hell sambal.

I DEFINITELY WANT TO HAVE THIS AGAIN. SOMEBODY, PLEASE OPEN AN SRI LANKAN SHOP HERE SELLING THIS EGG APOM!

yum yum love the sambal <3. should’ve bought one more. regret. regret. regret.

the day wouldn’t be complete without beer. can’t see in the pic but it’s Estrella from Barcelona =P. nyam.

and so we went back to check out the semi finals and finals after filling our tummies =3. this is the winning team! I have predicted that they will win. and I am so right ahhahaha. oh well, they were really good. and they stood out!

but the main reason for my visit is………. JENG JENG JENG JENG.

JAY PARK! I know, I know, you can stop hating me now. =P.

he was the ambassador for this event though he did not do anything. and that’s the chairman for KTO. he’s white, speaks Korean fluently and is super tall. it’s not that Jay Park is short. OKAY?!

Jay Park sticking his tongue out. I took like a thousand (ok exaggerated.) pictures of Jay Park but it’s mostly all personal so.. =P.

here’s a picture of me and Jay Park. hahahahahahaha.

a picture of me and the awesome winners. okay I have to admit Jay Park was not too tall. he’s about the height of the tallest guy here. and I was wearing flats.

but Jay Park is still awesome. no matter what.

AWWWWWWWWW HE LOOKED HEREEE <3.

Cheonggyecheon in the evening =3. pretty, ain’t it?

perfect spot for dating. no joke.

and a little later.

and later.

Gwanghwamun, the place where this scene in Iris was shot at.

the fountain show.

it keeps changing colours. and it’s so pretty. I just hope I had a wide angle at that time T_T.

okay that’s all for now. you guys should really visit Gwanghwamun for this. it’s prettttty. I think the fountain comes on every hour or something. I’ve seen it a few times, but it is not always there. =S.

MT stands for Membership Training. don’t know why but oh well. we get “trained” to drink here, to cut things short.

most MT’s are held at 대성리 Daeseongri. be it people from Yonsei, SNU, Korea U, Sogang, they alllllll come here. the staple place for all Korean MT’s. located near Chuncheon. the rent of a “hall” for a night would cost around 300k I heard. for a place so secluded and without much facilities, heck that’s expensive!

and from the station, it’s another 15minutes walk. not TOO far to be honest =D. at the same time I admired the view. it’s not very often for me going to the kampungs (country side).

our heroes of the night!!! *tsk* they bought like the most meat I’ve ever seen in my life. but of course, to feed like 40 of us, it’s just right. =D. but barbequing with those crazy fire is.. quite crazy.

the pretty girls in my class =3. it’s funny how all the girls sit together. hahaha. but we do mix around when it’s alcohol time!

since all the girls sit together, all the guys were left alone. there were actually more girls than guys in our class but I guess most girls didn’t come for MT =S.

and when we continue to eat more. basically we just had marinated pork dipped with ssamjang (bean paste chilly sauce?) and lots and lots of delicious kimchi!

poor guy who got attacked by a “samgyupsal role”! it was so hot and his gums were like burnt or something =S.

 

can you believe it!!! she’s born in 1995. but so pretty and is already in university! in Korea if you’re born early in the year, you’d be attending classes with people 1 year older. so.. =D.

only Korea has such awesome huge packets of chips. its more than double the size of our Mr Potato.

so after dinner, the game begins!

can you see the amount of green soju bottles tsk. for this round, they mix all sort of alcohol with all sort of soft drinks in a bowl and the one’s who got picked out must drink from it. =S. and finish it. they had this thing like a monopoly board where you roll the dice and see where it lands. but on the board, it’s filled with who should drink. say, “people who’s wearing a necklace”, “those who do not need to go for the army”, “all girls”, “all freshmen”, “all foreigners”. stuff like that.

the few poor ones who had to finish the HUGE bowl of alcohol!

at like 3am in the morning, we got hungry again and so we made JAPAGURI!! there’s this Jjajangmyun ramyun called the “Japaghetti” and this spicy soup based ramyun called “Noguri”. you basically mix both of them and create this awesome Japaguri. where it brings the best of these 2 ramyun. I’m telling you.. it’s SO good.

and even later at night, after some people K.O-ed the ones who remains? CONTINUES DRINKING.

 

some people just don’t sleep because there are “consequences” for sleeping. =P. I slept but each time they try to touch my face I’d cover my face. just too alert when I sleep.

the view at 6am in the morning. =3.

the building where our hall was. there’s already 3 (or was it4?) halls at the bottom! and they were all full! imagine the amount of money these people here earn! but of course, only during the peak MT times =S. so it is no wonder they charged more.

I guess this is all for now, tell you more next time! =D! tata!

Spring is finally here and so are exams. Korea have this thing against students being able to go out during the peak of both spring and autumn. it’s simply just atrocious. how can they do that to me pfft. but as you can see, nothing can exactly stop me from admiring these pretty spring buds. except I didn’t have any time to go to Yoeuido this time. not that I enjoyed it the last time actually. I thought it was too crowded and the only 1 sided cherry blossoms were mehhh. but I found another destination which is called Ansan near where I’m staying but again, NOT ENOUGH TIME! I will go there this weekend despite having tonnes of homework (during exam week. I know right?) RAWR! here’s a korean blog with the pictures of Ansan : http://blog.daum.net/miso3923/148

so how was it? enjoyed it? well I doubt this year would be this nice because of the weird weather T_T. it is hot and cold. sigh. so cherry blossoms bloom at like complete different times. it’s supposed to well, bloom last week around Friday. if I go this weekend it would probably be bald T_T. sigh. I will just give it a shot anyway since it is known that in Ansan, cherry blossoms bloom late. I actually went there about 10 days ago and they were just budding =S.

anyway back to topic, here’s some spring/cherry blossom pictures taken at my school! =D.

welcome to ahem the BUSINESS SCHOOL! business buildings are always the prettiest =3. well mainly because they get the most funding. =D.

=3. but the trees here weren’t that pretty to be honest T_T. I remembered that the flowers were really really packed on every tree. but now it’s just for the older cherry blossom trees U_U.

the hill I have to walk up EVERYDAY for class. and after that, I still have a crazy flight of stairs to climb up to T_T.

cherry blossoms in Korea are whitish but they are still super pretty! ♥.

camho.

take 2.

take 3.

♥.

with a girl my batch but like… 1 or 2 years older than me. T_____T. #feelsoold.

and downhillllll.

the path to get out from my school D=. look at the floor. the cherry blossoms are falling like nobody’s business already!

and why do I like Sungkyunkwan? well, I was in love the first time I came here. different from Yonsei which had the British touch, SKKU has a Korean touch! =3!

that building on the left is the ORIGINAL 600++ years old Sungkyunkwan where King Sejong is somehow affiliated and that two awesome man in the 1000won and 5000won graduated from Sungkyunkwan!

don’t mean to show off *coughs* but I memorized this and it didn’t bloody come out in my exam.

so apparently, hundreds of years ago, to get into Sungkyunkwan you must first prepare to take the “daegwa대과”. before taking that you must be illegible. you must first pass the “sogwa소과” examinations (people who pass are called “jinsa진사” or “saengwon생원” and then stay in the dorms of Sungkyunkwan until you accumulated 300points. to get 1 point, you must eat breakfast and dinner. (wtf I know right weird policy. well they want their students to be healthy!) and as for the “daegwa” examinations. it occurs once every 3 years and in each exam only 33 people would pass it.

holy. mother. of. kimchis.

and the grand entrance to my grand grand school. hahaha. so traditional.

and the road towards Daehakno대학로! if you plan on visiting my school ahems. you may. just take the subway to Hyehwa Station 혜화역 and get out from exit 4.

here’s a map on the directions to Sunkyunkwan Univeristy =D.

(directions to Ansan Park : take bus 03 from Sinchon Station Exit 3. get off at “Seodaemun Guchong” and walk to your left for about 100m before turning right and up the hill!)

Korean Curry?

had a lot of them, in fact. my boarding house cooks it every week.

Indian Curry?

well, I am from Malaysia. =D.

Korean Indian Curry? now that’s a fusion. if the shop isn’t operated by Indians and their shop is labelled as an “Indian Curry” shop. be prepared to try the weirdest curry of all the weirdest curry. the Korean Indian Curry.

went to this shop I’d always walked pass in Hongdae. it’s next to that scary comedy theater. it’s called “DELHI”. if you’re facing Hongik University, go to your left and walk straight and you will see it on the left hand side of the road.

finally paid this famous (I think, judging that every time I walk pass, it’s pretty filled.) a visit and to my surprise, it is actually not bad! I wouldn’t say it is cheap food but it is IN budget. and definitely cheaper compared to the authentic Indian Curry restaurants here in Seoul.

Donkatsu Curry with rice.

we selected the HOTTER one but it wasn’t at all hot to me. I shall select the hottest next time. the thing about Korean Indian Curry is that.. it isn’t just entirely sweet (but still delicious) and has almost nothing but potatoes-Korean Curry. nor is it spicy and super fragrant like the Indian Curry. BUT, it is the mixture of both. it has a tint of Indian spices with half the sweetness of Korean Curry.

and Curry Udon.

wait, what? CURRY UDON? this is definitely Japanese.

weird but delicious. out of 10, I’d give it a.. 7?

on a lunch date with my Japanese model friend, Kenji! =D.

he was always very gobsmacked on how I can remember his surname every time (Ogawa) and I finally told him that it’s a brand in Malaysia supposedly from Japan. which he was even more surprised because he has never heard of such a brand in Japan before. which I later found out that.. it is a Malaysian brand. named by a Malaysian Chinese couple. pfft.

the purpose of meeting Kenji was actually to bring him to Aa Design Museum (cafe) as he likes BoA too! =D.
*BoA had her video shot here!

told him to strike me a handsome model pose. and he gave me a sexy Arabian girl stare. haha.

must camwhore. =D.
