their number of chains here are madness. you will SURELY stumble across Baskin Robbins if you were to be in Seoul for a few days. SURELY. around my area, there’s already 3. and all of it is usually packed with people even in such a weather.
Baskin Robbins? mehhhh. I had it in Malaysia and it wasn’t really my cup of tea. it was so super sweet and I can’t help but to feel guilty every time I had it. the only few times I had Baskin Robbins in KL was probably just because it had a promotion and I’d opt for the choco flavour as sweet choco isn’t so bad.
as for here, originally I thought it’s going to be like everything else, being more expensive than KL. but to my surprise, it’s actually CHEAPER than KL! everyone here come in either pairs or a group. pairs would order..
something like this. a plate of SOMETHING. there was even ice cream on toast which looked.. weird. Continue reading “why you should eat Baskin Robbins in Korea.”
yesterday I wanted to visit the Art Market in Hongdae and while having lunch, my friend told me..
“apparently it’s snowing now.”
“no-lah… those weather report aren’t trustable. they said it would snow so many times before but it didn’t.”
“but.. 2 of my friends said so too!”
I immediately stood up and look outside. IT’S REALLY SNOWING!!!
so we quickly settled the bill and head outside. right. I was in shorts! =D. truthfully speaking it wasn’t very cold. like 2 days ago it was raining the whole day and THAT was much cooler but no snow came down pfft. Continue reading “the rare snow.”
it’s true, we foreigners are known as aliens here.
the Alien Registration Card is probably the most troublesome thing you have to do being a student here. it is actually a card where you need to get to report to the government saying that you’ll be here for more than 90 days. if I am not mistaken, you still have to get it done even if you’re here for a term. but oh well, it’ll only take a day.
directions to Seoul Immigration Office : you’ll have to stop by at Omokgyo station 오목교역 and take exit 7. walk straight for about 10 -15minutes you’ll see a big junction with two roads but keep to your lane and turn right. and walk a little then your will see the Seoul Immigration Office on your left.

For this generation, it’s really very difficult to secure a job with just an SPM cert and sometimes, even a diploma cert. in fact, having a degree would be quite a challenge too! One of the ways to overcome this problem would be by attending a good Uni. Telling your future employers which university trained you does make a huge impact on most employers.
As I’ve always recommended, one of the finest in Malaysia is Sunway. Their degree programmes are validated by Lancaster University, UK! And for you who’ve just taken your SPM not too long ago (note that over RM80million worth of scholarships are awarded through the Jeffrey Cheah Foundation!), Sunway will be having Sunway Education Info Day that you might really want to take some time to drop by the campus. It’ll be happening TWICE. Continue reading “Sunway University : March Open Day”
I didn’t know Insadong and Samcheongdong is actually just 10minutes walk away and the last time I took a bloody subway for it. pffffffft.
just so you guys don’t get confused too, I am here to tell you how.
but first lets take a look at Ssamziegil!
this is one of the restaurants in Ssamziegil; a place for le artsy fartsy people. =D. Continue reading “[Seoul] walking from Insadong to Samcheongdong?”
honestly, I am not a big fan of cats. in fact, I am quite scared of them. especially the evil looking ones pfft. but since Jian (akiraceo a.k.a Miao) is very fond of cats I thought I would come here just blog to show him how the cat cafes here look like (there are more than 3 that I know of).
we wanted to find the Gio Cat Cafe but unfortunately we got lost and stumbled upon Tom Cat Cafe (which is located opposite ARTBOX Hongdae =)). there’s also a Garfield mascot in the middle of Sinchon Rotary (at the huge crossroad) that advertises for some Cat Cafe as well. Continue reading “[Seoul: Hongdae] Toms Cat Cafe”
just 2 days ago I went all the way up North (less than 100km away from North Korea) to visit one of my childhood Korean friend who’s in the army right now. the National Service here takes about 22months to complete and all I know is that it’s really a daunting task for even macho men. but only after you’ve completed the army, you’re a true man here.
they say that it makes all women and men fair by women having to give birth and men having to go to the army here. hahahaha.
found a way to transform my cutesy hairband into a hippie bandana =D. Continue reading “The Korean Army.”
Laura Mercier launched their shop in Sunway Pyramid last Thursday and I thought it would really be productive to be there because everybody who knows me knows that I am terrible in putting on make up (and curling my hair. le sigh.)
with Jodi Riley, a popular make up artist from the US. Continue reading “Laura Mercier’s Make Up”
just in case you’re not a follower of my blog, I am now in Korea for my language studies.
the plane landed 5minutes earlier but then the immigration was taking such a long time so I missed the last bus to take to my friends place (they usually have bus till late for places like Myeongdong). I sneaked 8kg (oh well laptop doesn’t count as a baggage for AirAsiaX apparently) and my shoulders are aching even until now T____________T. 3 baggage handcarry and 3 checked in. if I were to total everything up it would be more than 50kg. no kidding. but I’m here for my studies! no choice. the other choices would be expensive. I have a friend’s friend whose bag is so heavy she brought her mom with her so that she can have extra weight and it’s cheaper like that haha.
HII!! from the first day in Seoul. today’s my 2nd. but my friend said it’s 3rd. BUT I LANDED LATE! Continue reading “I’VE ARRIVED IN KOREA!”
