I’m a Korean Addict.

Monday, November 29th, 2010

people told me stuff like you’d get disappointed for hoping so much. and there are no hot guys or girls on the streets of Korea.

THAT IS NOT TRUE FOR ME!

because Korea is MORE than what I imagine it to be. it is so much better.

I’ll explain why I love Korea bit by bit after filtering my 4k pictures =P. but sadly, I cannot advise you to visit Korea right now as there might be a war and it might get a little dangerous. (my friend’s friend flew back to Malaysia early because of the news =S. and I was half quarter hoping I can get trapped in Korea wth!) BUT just so you know, when I was in Korea, the news were only watched by all the Koreans for one day and the next day it seemed like nothing happened.

as you all might already know, going to Korea is more affordable than ever with AirAsia!

when I was coming back from Korea they had this VERY OMGWTHBBQ HOT KOREAN GUY as an air steward. and when I was going there, there Korean girl air stewardess is also VERY OMGWTHBBQ HOT. but sadly, there is only one Korean in every flight.

it was sunset. there was no sun, but this beautiful view.

do note that a 6hours and 30minutes flight makes your skin super dry. so please do not wear contacts and put the thickest layer of hydrating moisturizer and lipbalm. in my case, I used Clinique’s moisture surge and Vaseline lip balm everyday in Korea. BOTH was VERY GOOD. because my mom’s skin was all peeling in Korea and mine was fine! =D. but it wears off after half a day so always put them in your purse. as for the lip balm, you might want to reapply it after every strong wind. haha.

just joking. maybe every two hours if there is wind.

note : you won’t be able to live without lip balm there.

upon arrival, I was greeted with many advertisements like “welcome to Seoul”, “come to 7 luck casino!” and this.

you get what it mean. right?

and one thing which adds 10points to why you should love Korea is the TOILETS!

IMG_9075

did you know, Korea’s airport is said to be one of the cleanest in the world?

now you know.

but the thing is, it doesn’t apply just for the AIRPORT. the toilets are clean almost EVERYWHERE. the worst I went to was when I was in this run down building (bus station) where they have no tissue paper, but it’s not dirty either. and believe me, after spending a week there, you’d HATE Malaysia’s toilet.

my mom went to the toilet as soon as she came out from the plane and she said “Malaysia’s toilets are a big disgrace.” couldn’t be helped since some most people doesn’t use the bidet properly. we should have “Toilet Education” in school rather than Moral. it’s true.

by the way, you can sit on almost every toilet bowl in Korea! =D.

IMG_9092

guess what are those!

those are…

cigarettes. a crazy amount of it.

and this will probably minus some points on Korea hahaha. if you hate smokers, you’d have to just accept the fact that MOST Koreans smoke. be it a teenager, an elder, male, female; they ALL do! in fact, all my Korean friends do. and all I can say is, I’ve gotten used to it.

IMG_9091

always take the bus if you have a lot of luggage. it costs 10,000 won (almost RM30). it’s a good deal. trust me.

and that is Peter whom I have known since I was still in primary; when I was slamming on my keyboard playing a game called the O2JAM. it’s a Korean game. =D!

you might’ve noticed a change in my clothes. I wore long johns in my pants and my shirt + another layer of shirt. but sadly, it was very hot that day I came, but it was pretty cold later on. long johns are very important. =D.

IMG_9110

on the way to Seoul from Incheon Airport. it took about 40minutes. just keep your eyes open. Korean bridges are just so pretty. Penang bridge was Korean made alright?

IMG_9113

this shop is called the KimBap King or Kingdom or something. I forgot U_U. but the Kim Bap’s there are amazing. they have many branches all over Korea =D. so no worries about the location!

IMG_9114

TADA!!! my first Korean meal! prices are ranged from about 2.5k won to 4k won for an average meal there.

IMG_9115

why is it called the Kim Bap King/ Kingdom? well, THERE ARE A HUGE VARIETY OF KIM BAPS. eating kim bap in house starts from 2.5k and if you take away, it only cost 1.5k. at first I did not understand why because taking away in Malaysia is NEVER CHEAPER. and now that I come to think of it. they don’t serve Bachan if you take away.

IMG_9119

these are the Bachan. refill as much as you want. =D.

IMG_9120

the two friendly girls we met. they’re from the Philippines!

IMG_9125

the spiciest Kimchi Jjigae I’ve ever had! but it’s SOOOOOOOO GOODDDD.

IMG_9117 copy

that is the Bibimbap and the Kimbap. just in case if you were wondering, Bap (밥) is rice. and Koreans love rice.

I guess this is all for the day one! I reached at night so there weren’t much. heh. I will update according to places though. this shop’s in Myeong Dong. walk straight from Exit 3. and it’s the cheapest.

and next I’ll show you more of…

IMG_91402

AUTUMN! <3.

Directions to the Bus Station : always check online on where you need to stop. the Bus Station is directly outside the airport upon exit. there’s a booth on the left side of the airport. it’s outdoors. =).

some HA pics. =D.

PFFT

why am I still so busy now that I’m done with my exams.

I STILL HAVE ASSIGNMENTS! due this week (but due tomorrow for me since I’ll be leaving for my holidays). GRHHH. well at least the teacher extended the date. we’d be doomed if the due date is today. haha.

this is taken by the Sony’s “DSLR quality” compact camera, the NEX.

I’ll let you judge.

if I see this picture 5 years later, I bet I’ll still say, “I LOVE THE SET UP OF THE PLACE!”

how often have you ever seen a guy in a pram holding a HENNESSY VSOP glass? he should be the only one. (at least in Malaysia!)

the pictures are thanks to Thong Kai, by the way. =D!

my baby sitter for the night.

please vote for Jeremy! http://www.shoutawards.com.my/voting/?cat=3&u=

the NEX is so difficult to camwhore. pfft.

my two best buddies.

the quality is quite alright, but I won’t say it’s DSLR standard =P. no where near.

Digi Angels Internet Gathering @ Grand Modesto’s

Friday, November 12th, 2010

I love the venue.

loved the event. I think I am going to switch to DiGi pretty soon too. the deal is just to good.

did you know, if you pay by installments you can pay for your bill + get an Iphone4 + get internet access everywhere for just RM150+? greatest deal in my opinion. wait, it should be, it IS the greatest deal.

I had tried food from Grand Modesto’s from the last cookie monster event and it was awesomeeeeee! and this time, there were more food served.

but unfortunately my camera is still dead. =(. sigh. I need a kit lens (18-55mm), if any of you could find one, please tell me. budget’s 300 for non IS and 350 for IS. thank you. I like how kit lens are so convenient despite it being very low in quality pfft.

so I am just gonna use pictures taken by TikkoSS and JackieLoi + some of my own pictures from Yee Hou’s cam. I dunno how to use his camera actually, that is why I’d rather not take pictures because it all turned out blur T_T.

IMG_8648

Timothy Tiah, Nicholas Chay, Dixxon, Robb and my photostatted face.

I just noticed, Nic look quite like Timothy. hahaha.

IMG_8623

beautiful Michelle and Jackie Loi =D.

IMG_8635

I’ve not had many nice spaghetti’s around actually. usually food stalls and such would use those tomato sauce from the jar and it’ll taste awful. I dislike Prego. =X. it is certainly not my taste. I only got this picture clear FML. but it is okay. because plenty of people uploaded pictures so I can talk about it heh.

TADA!!! I must praise the first dish. the mushrooms were amazing. they taste superbly nice. it is also because I am a fan of mushrooms. I am always thinking of that only-mushroom shabu shabu in Guilin. best thing ever. Caesar salad is just as good as the other good ones. =3. then we have the grilled tuna. it’s nice but I don’t like the heavy pepper taste too much. and the smoked salmon on bread. yum.

others are good as well. that flat thing is some ham thing. very special. but my favourite among all is that green thing which until now I have no idea what it is. just go over and ask the waiter for some green poppiah aite? =P.

their desserts were good as well. I have to say, I had not enough of desserts. they are too good. TOO TOO GOOD!

be ashamed of yourself if you’ve not been there before. such fine food. heh.

I am always very engrossed with food =X. there were games as well! which was pretty fun because it involves a lot of theme work and I made friends through that as well =D.

our pose is pretty funny i have to say. HAHAHA. didn’t win though T_T.

but at least we won something thanks to Serge, who played  the digi iPhone game with that fat yellow guy with 4 fingers. =P. sorry guys, but Serge had already mastered/have played the game before. HAHA.

what’s that finger doing there for. hmm. =P.

it was a great event. they had this lucky draw to see which lucky blogger could bring home a phone for 2 weeks to do a review on it (and it that person’s review is good, they get to KEEP IT.) I wasn’t so lucky but the DiGi plan is so affordable that I don’t think I would be too sad on not getting my name picked. =P.

single

Tuesday, November 9th, 2010

you know, one thing about walking alone is that whenever you bumped into friends, they’d ask “no boyfriend ah?”, “are you alone? where’s your boyfriend” and it bothers because whenever I tell people that I am single nobody believes me. it has been two years and I don’t get why everybody must insist that I have a boyfriend hmph. maybe it is because I look slutty or something. I don’t think I do, but some photographer asked me if I would like a photoshoot and he thinks that slutty attire suits me *screams in shock* NOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!! okay nevermind. back to the point, I don’t get why everybody whose in a relationship finds single people odd.

I am single because I don’t want a boyfriend lah. (and because guys stop finding me attractive after finally knowing me I guess?)

also because my type is all in Korea (or maybe there is a few in Ampang too. well, just any tall, fair guys with small eyes. that speaks korean.) lah.

still, I find being single is damn awesome because we don’t have another person to care about in our busy age. but if you’re like 28 and is still single, you’d better start looking. ahhahaha.

well look, if I have a boyfriend now, I’d be even busier. I am worrying a lot on maintaining my scholarship and a boyfriend would make my task impossible. then, I don’t find any guys attractive just yet (excluding my idols. whom are impossible.). no I am not into girls pfft.

and you know what? because I find this question annoying, I ask people this question just to annoy people HAHAHAHHA. but usually when somebody asks me. heh.

crap I am actually very super duper busy now. will have exams until Thursday for this week. will be much more relaxed after this Thurs. =D.

IMG_8867

and I found a new way to eat fries, which I’ve not eaten since a long long time ago simply because I don’t fancy it at all.

JIBEI. my classmates are so much more talented than I am.

how is it that I am so brain jammed and so uncreative.

I need ideas for my photography assignment. I need to combine two very different food (those that you don’t usually eat together) with matching colours. example, a cheesecake topped with sausages.

I NEED SOME IDEAS.

HELP!!
