anyeonghaseyo. welcome to my blog-yo. I love Korea-yo. since adding a -yo means being polite in Korean =D.

I am so crazy I am actually counting down. in lesser than 3 months!

just so you know, I am not rich or whatsoever. because I bought the tickets on this really special promo. =D. and I will be staying at a budget place. no posh posh hotels =(. but that already satisfies me. it’s been 10 years. =3.

you might be among the fortunate group to have visit Korea already, and you’d think it’s nothing much. but I’ve wanted to go there since I’d watched Autumn in My Heart at 8. and is keen on visiting it first time on Autumn =X. November is an Autumn month! =D. AirAsia’s quite smart, they only have promo for autumn on November. pfft. and it was a very last minute thing because I only had a day to think if I could go. I spent hours on the net trying to persuade my friends to go with me (because my mom wouldn’t allow me going alone without a proper adult. EVEN I have friends there.) and well, when the tickets came out, my mom shocked herself by looking at the crazily cheap fare and said “ok lah, I’ll go with you.”

=D =D =D =D =D.

normally such cheap fares only comes out once in a blue moon. and this promo is because they are launching flights to Korea for the first time!

AirAsia made my dream possible. WHEE! <3. by the way, the statement above, is for TWO. and TWO ways.

will be going there for 6 days. I only had a week worth of holiday =(. and to prevent myself from splurging more, I booked 6 days only T_T. if I were to go on my own, I was planning on 2 weeks. skip a week of college, I don’t care. =D. yes you might say that I am lucky and all but please bare in mind that these type of “luck” only comes in when you check their site every freaking hour hahaha. and to make a last minute planning, it was pretty alright. 6 days wouldn’t be enough but I’m trying to cram 35 destination into 6 days.

call me mad, but I’ve even completed my itenary.

Day 1 – will arrive in the evening, shall walk around and explore Myeong Dong at night.
Day 2 – 63 Building and that area, Gangnam and later on meeting up with my Korean friends for Lotte World (wanted Everland but I heard many rides might close if the weather is too cold.)
Day 3 – Bongeunsa Temple, COEX mall + its Aquarium, Hongdae for coffee shops (SCREW MY ALLERGY! I shall find a way to overcome it! medication or something =/. did you know, most coffee shops in Korea are UNIQUE in their own way? =D.), Rainbow Fountain.
Day 4 – Hanoks, Insadong, Gyeongbokgung + all the other gungs + Cheong Wa Dae (Korean white house. except its BLUE.), samcheongdong. all walking distance.
Day 5 – Gwanjang Market, Edae, Deoksugung, City Plaza, Seoul Museum of Art (I’m an art student anyway, how can I go to a land of art without entering their museum?!), Dongdaemun Market (opens till 5am! =D)
Day 6 – Namsan, Myeong Dong

bare in mind that one spot have several destinations. they are all in walking distance! plus, my itenary isn’t full yet. =3. was thinking of visiting their noraebang(korean karaoke) and their jjimjilbang(sauna with practically EVERYTHING) too. sigh, unlike noraebangs in Msia, their’s look much more fun, plus, they charge per room. so if you have more people, your per person price will drop heh.

no visa is needed for such a short visit. =3. (and Japan’s one is soooo troublesome. needs letters and bank slips. it’s pretty difficult for a student to travel there alone. but couldn’t be helped. I heard many fellow Msians ‘jump plane’ there. haha.)

I was pestering my mom to buy those lonely planet books for Seoul as she’d go against her stingy self to buy it the last time we visited China and HK. it costs about rm88? =X. super expensive ugh. but she said there’s nothing about Korea that I don’t know, and we don’t need it. PFFTTT. >=(. so if anyone has it, pinjam boleh? =3 I take good care of books. plus, I do wrapping services, for FREE! =D!

I am a crazy girl. I’ve been preparing for the past one month already. like how my friend who is obsessed with Japan took 4 months to prepare his, which turned out perfect, I wanted to do the same =D.

PS : my mom had some very bad experience in Seoul and had never liked it since then. but I am slowly brainwashing her. >=). and she’s only going because I am so eager to go T______T. I told her ” you saved up on my college fees because of the full scholarship, and this trip will worth only one sem’s fees!” it’s unreasonably reasonable! =).

******************************************************************

some test shots of YeeCow’s Canon 5D + his 28mm f/2.8

it’s awesome.

but he called me an idiot yesterday because he lent me his camera because mine have some sort of problem. but he only noticed that it’s because of some silly setting I made, and my camera doesn’t need to be sent into the hospital >_<”.

so here’s some test shots =D. some of them are for my Photography assignment.

haha, noticed how biased I am? most of my make up products are from faceshop– a korean brand. =D. one from missha– another korean brand. and one each from etthusais and maybeline.

well, the faceshop is really cheap when there’s sale =/. couldn’t help it.

the black background’s only sugar paper! it does WONDERS. and there was no special lighting. it was home light.

the pair of heels I wear frequently nowadays.

the pictures were taken in RAW and only the colour temperature and the black intensity was adjusted. =). but it was only slight adjustments.

this is how I look when I go to college. Jeremy said I look like some ghost hmm. he’s being pretty honest hahha.

lets hope you don’t get nightmares from this picture taken in the morning.

I woke up early today and wanted to try camwhoring with a 28mm =D. a bit close, but at least it works!

+ the sunlight help in bluffing my skin HAHA.

this shall be a post filled with pictures. previously I camwhored with Nigel’s HTC and I went crazy with his lomo-ish pictures. so I FORCED him to get one of those applications for me for my comp. and tada! at least now I can have lomo pictures without a lomo camera!

I am using PhotoScape! =3.

fake tilt shift effect and a LOT of other filters. <3 the program!

went to Zouk last Saturday (NOOOO I am certainly NOT a clubber.) with Zlwin, looking at him perform his awesome magic! =D. will never get sick with his fork bending mentalism thing.

I don’t really remember what I used but this is so pretty!

happening people at Zouk’s main room =D.

and my favourite, DJ Goldfish! =D. I don’t like most clubbing music actually. other than songs by him, and some other songs playing at Phuture and Velvet. I’ve never really liked house nor electro, they’re noisy; gives me a headache =X.

more Goldfish <3.

ZLWIN! he told me that his brother is named Alwin, so therefore, he’s Zlwin. super special. I want to name my kids with some unique name too, they are literally more unique!

visit him at zlwin.com!

fat angle. T_T.

SIMON!

maybe I really do look like a vampire. hmm. but blood never smelt nice! T_T.

gays. mm. doesn’t turn me on. HAHAHAHA.

Ronald and his huge goldfish eyes! with some sexy moles. =P.

my sister’s vainest friend. he is much more vain than me. seriouslyyy.

love this pictureee <3. I shall practice to small smile hahahaa.

my friend Jason was wanting to introduced me to his friend, which is this guy, Chris. but what shocked Jason was, both our parents are close friends so we already know each other. HAHAHA. KL is a small small place. =P.

and here’s some pics at the errr, what do you call it? canopy? don’t know lah.

my hair lands perfectly on the non existence cleavage! haha! and now it might actually get some people wondering if I am a guy now. kekeke. okay. it’s a cold joke. sorry. =X. but this IS my favourite picture for your information. =D.

I.look.nothing.like.this.really. I look so weird I don’t know why eventhough I love the background hahahaha. (Chee Wei is awesome! again)

I think it’s the light that was shining at my face. it shone directly on my brows making me look browless. and I look a little like a monk. pfft.

love my legs here. <3.

for the illusions to make your legs look long = wear super high heels

THAT TREE. is filled with moss. and ants. =/. still, I like the picture kekeke.

after uploading all of these, I bet Mr. Tan Chee Wei haven’t even uploaded it on his blog yet. so all of you who visit my blog knows whats coming out next already hahaha (and plus, he don’t update his blog in a zillion years). lazy awesome photographer he is!

here’s another short post with Chee Wei’s awesome pictures!

most of you might’ve already seen this on my facebook. but this one better quality! *bluek*

Chee Wei successfully tempted me into buying a lens that can bokeh. PFFT. but the problem is, $$. SHALL SAVE UP!

hahaa Chee Wei was actually saying how pregnant I look in this.. very flare skirt. ahhaha.

and the best picture of this post! I likey. what’s on my leg?! ew. >_____>.

ah my face actually looks photostatted now that I’ve realized. well he picked the pictures, see! even he agrees this angle is my best kekeke.

here’s one of the many many pictures Chee Wei took of me. =D. will post others LATER. few by few. =P. so this would be er… the introduction? haha.

so since I’ve always been the photographer, it’s my err, first time I’m being shot like for a real shoot after I know how to use a DSLR. =D. my poses will seem a little awkward as it’s actually the first time meeting Chee Wei despite knowing him for quite some time. ahhaha. and it’s the second time Chee Wei met me. why? because I forgotten about meeting him a long long time ago. he was in a mask in a halloween party! what do you expect right? hehe.

and the grass is ridiculously poky. T_T. suffered much for this shot kekekeke.

oh right before I forget. I want to tell you about my touching story today (as in when I write this post, a few days before I left for NS. OT-ing for it *OT = Over Time). I’ve always thought my mom was a little biased between me and my sister because my sister is the more soft, kind and nicer person compared to me, who would sometimes talk back. =X. maybe not just sometimes kekekeke. I told her I don’t need mosquito repellent because I don’t usually attract mosquito’s and I won’t have the time to put it on anyway. but she bought it anyway when I was busy looking somewhere else. and it costs 20bux approx. =(. waste money. but I still feel pretty touched. =(.

yeah so to you people who thinks that your parents don’t love you very much. they do. just that it’s hard for us to see sometimes. =)). (that’s on a 99.99% average at least? =X.)

and not that I didn’t know! I am just REMIND YOU. kekeke.

PS :

yes it is TRUE that I am back. I deferred NS. I was sick every single day there. fever and all and I couldn’t get enough rest there. and the water was a little too dirty for my sensitive skin which pretty much resulted to itchy skin and rashes. =(. nevertheless, it’s really fun. most of the trainers are fun people =D. the activities are beneficial too. love the classes =3. if you’re healthy, please do go! (just hate the marching under the sun part)

I AM BLOODY TAN. just 1 week. my goodness.
