Day-1
For the 1st time, we are trying taking budget over to Korea.
My goshhh this is totally torchering man.
Gonna took Airsia to Malaysia LCCT! Not KLIA but LCCT, luckily there is wifi, if not we really gonna rot there for the whole morning.
Finally comes the boarding time, and we arrive Seoul Incheon at around 9.55pm but we leave airport at 11pm. The immigration queue is totally not a joke in Incheon. -.-
Our airport limousine bus towards Gyeongbokgung already left, so we took another bus towards the next nearest place which is at Jongno 3ga.
After arriving jongno 3ga, it's already 12am, we got no choice but to find a cab, but unfortunately all the taxi driver are either dosn't know the place where we are going or they don't want to go.
It's really freaking freezing cold that midnight! My jacket are all inside my luggage where i lazy to take it out.
Ended up i decided to tell the taxi driver to send us to Gyeongbokgung Station instead of our guesthouse address. (so smart of me, i can always walk from the station myself! haha~)
Reach Yim's Hanok which is located very very near to the subway station. Within 2mins walk!
Feel so sorry to Mrs Yim who still awake just to wait for us to arrive in such a wee hour. But her friendness really make us feel very welcome. :)
It's our first time staying at Gyeongbokgung area instead of Myeongdong. The hanok is really as small as what i've expect, with private bathroom inside every room (although i always got hit on my head while walking into the bathroom as the door is very LOW!) But anyway, its really a sweet and cozy place, for people on budget, can actually try this out. :)

Day-2
It's WHITE DAY~ ^_^
Woke up and went to find our N-Train.
(shall not post much details here)
Had our lunch at the ddokbokki shop nearby.
The last time we came, there is this guy who is learning english. And now that guy is gone, but this new guy actually stayed in Singapore for 6mth and he can speak a super flurent english! Cool max this store.
Had a great twitter conversation with one of the member. Digging out news from him. LOL. Sorry oppa~
Window shopping at Myeongdong!
Normally we reach there will just start shopping like mad women, but we controlled ourself not to buy anything today!
Meet up with Cheryl as well. (she's my new colleague 19' where her mum doesn't allow her going korea with her friend just 2 person. and so she told her that she is coming together with me where me and feli is 21st and we came here for quite many times and we can understand korean! all the bullshit, where feli is actually same age as her and our koreans are all cmi. hahas!)
Telling her meeting at the main H&M front door, but die die also never get to see her. Ended up she's at another H&M -.- Wasted my phone bill!!!!!!!!!!
Had our dinner at one of the bbq restaurant.
Cheryl was telling us that the 7-11 next to their backpackers have a shuai ge working down there. Say until we are all very interested to have a look at how he look like.
Walked into that 7-11, me and Felicia face was like =___= This one call handsome, then there is no ugly people in the world already.. -.-
Back to hotel, amazingly MrsYims done all the housekeeping for us, everything was nicely placed. Thank you~!
Turn on the TV and we saw this group of guys but we don't know who are they.
The curious me went to search online by typing their names. Ended up they are LED APPLE! Ok not bad looking.. Hahas!

Day-3
Early in the morning 6am while still sleeping, recieved call from Cheryl saying she can't manage to get into m!countdown.. LoL!
Meet them at around 9am and we went Jjimjilbang! Silloam Sauna @ Myeongdong which actually located at Seoul Station.
Such a cool place where we always saw it on TV. People really sleep in there!
Fooling around, going into each and every fermentation room to try out.
The 1st one we went was 90°C. It was real hot and we can totally feel the heat when opened the door. But actually after relaxing your mind down, it's not that hot afterall. But you can't stay more than 20mins inside the room.
And we tried the salt room as well. The things that is burning is our feet!
So faster jump and lay down inside the salt. Hands and legs are totally burning! When we came out, our whole body are red! Hahas!
There's lots of other rooms down there and people are sleeping inside.
Gym, Noraebang(KTV), Restaurants, Hair Salon, and many more out there!
Me & quek gonna rush off to KBS at 11am as her kikwang is having winwin recording this day.
She see her yikiki, i see my jintaek oppa! (the manager with super big bag walking infront of me)
Grab a cup of hot latte at Handel & Gretel (the cafe that own by superjunior yesung & his parent and brother working inside) before we head back to myeongdong and start our crazy shopping day!!
As usual i'm like carrying 10kgs of rice walking on the streets, super heavy and tiring!
Back to hotel dump down our things and head down to find our guys. Hahas!
There were 2 japanese fans down there too, JM told us to talk to each other. LoL like so awkward man strangers and from different country somemore. But ended up yeah we become friend friend..
Singapore vs Japanese, and we use korean to communicate. HAHA!
As usual Sh came down 1st and Feli left me alone there :(
Without her i no hotspot, no wifi and so means i no google translate!! If Sw come down anytime soon, i gg.com!
After she return, soon the rest came down.
He keep 오랜만이야 링링링(long time no see, ling) non-stop tsk irritating!
I ignored him everytime whenever he called me '링', so not use to it until he change back and call '옌링' (yanling)
Chatted for quite awhile while waiting for the japanese to be done.
Passed him his belated birthday present too, he want open but don't open, want open but don't open -.- Ended up choose not to open in front of me. LoL.
Took photo and he forever FOREVER hide behind me! (so that head look smaller) Push him in front but still ended up behind -.- Forget it!!
12.03.16 (Fri)
Day-4
Meet up with the japanese fans and bring them to find them, as they don't know the location.
Wait and wait and waited for 2hrs, finaly SH came. After awhile the jap fans gonna leave alr as they need to catch their flight back. :( sadded.
So they gave us their letters to pass to their oppa's.
And so, we continue to wait until JM came and we went off to have our lunch already. Hahas i totally no heart in waiting for them. ㅋㅋㅋ
Yongsan station, had a great worth it lunch and also bought my polaroid film and battery.
And went to the bookstore as my teacher asked me to buy topik book back.
Found the book but it was really HEAVY!! Impossible for me to carry it back to S'pore as i know my luggage confirm will overweight!
So ended up i didn't buy that but bought my textbook for next level.
Lotte Mart at Seoul Station!
We always went there in the late night but this time round afternoon!!
At night meet out the girls at myeongdong 노래방(noraebang)!
Normally when you watch korean variety show, they will have this scoring part where their score always 70+ and above. But no matter how well we sing, the highest we can go was 19!!
Hahas! And that includes my KimKyuJong 'Yesterday'
Really quite cool trying to sing at their KTV as everything everything are in Korean!! Try to figure out what is what, which button is which. :D
Had a great night out there yea.. :)
12.03.17 (Sat)
Day-5
Been to Korea so many time, And this day we finally feel that we are tourist!
I've planned quite a few of tourist attractions this time round :)
Walked over to the another side of our hotel to GyeongBokGung! One of the Palace in Seoul.
Reached just on time to watch their changing of guard parade. Hahas this is so tourist act!
The guards there are all very slack, moving around, looking here and there. Shouldn't it be can't move at all??
Anyway, went into the palace to have a walk. Oh by the way, the weather that day was really great!! About 16°c? So i didn't put on my jacket at all, it was far too hot while the sun shines on you. Luckily i do carry sunblock wherever i go. ㅋㅋ
Crossed the road and we reached GwangHwaMun. The place that i wanted to come since our 1st trip but ended up never.
Firstly because it was a tourist attraction, secondly because CityHunter film it here. HAHA!!
Hungry already and start searching for restaurant that can fill up our empty stomach.
Saw this Italian spaghetti shop with superrrrrr long queue! Seems not bad and wanted to give it a try but our hunger will make us go mad if we want to wait for our turn.
Continue searching and we happen to walk pass this 'School Food' and saw DreamHigh2 poster pasting on the glass. And found out that DH2 actually filmed it upstair!
Hahas! Ok shall not search anymore and just go up and EAT!!!
Great food and great menu. But it's quite expensive -.-
Subway down to Yeouinaru station and took the Hangang River Cruise.
Took to Jamsil station (which is the last station) and the journey took about 70minute??
Thanks to the good weather, if not we will freeze to death blowing the sea breeze. LoL.
I didn't do research on how to walk from Jamsil to Jamsil station. Oops~ Only know that it's not near to the subway station at all. So walked blindly and finally we found Lotte World!!! Hahas~
Almost dinner time, deciding should we eat KimHyunJoong Jaksal Chicken or should we eat Se7en Yeolbong Chicken or should try the Paris Croissant that my colleague recommended a lot.
So ended up we wet COEX searching for the Paris Croissant, but i only can find Paris Baguette -.-
Give up and we go Gangnam for Yeolbong Chicken!!
So cool that yeolbong changed a new menu! With english and also choices of spiciness.
After eating yeolbong for soooo many times, this the 1st time that i can eat peacefully without tearing cause by the spiciness!
While eating halfway, a guy delivered a new Se7en standee! Hahas! And we after our meal, we were the 1st to take picture with the new standee.. HAHAHAHAH. *fangirl mode on*
12.03.18 (Sun)
Day-6
Stepped out of our room, finally this day we got the time to take picture with 'hyunbin' who we always saw him everyday and night.
Mrs Yim was a big fan of him. Hahas!
Start our day at Edae!
Walk and walk and walk, trying to walk the another path that we never walk before.
And i suddenly saw YoonDuJun!!! Eyes wide bigger and thats A'piue (that cosmetic/skincare shop that Beast endorse.)
Actually i totally didn't know there is such a shop before i saw this. Oops~ Sorry, i'm no more a Beast fans. LoL.
Happen to saw Ehwa Women University and we wow-ed and went in to take a look.
It's really a nice and beautiful place there where you can see in from drama. Hahas. So dreamy~
I love this particular church up there. With the steps outside, NICE!
Spend too much time in there already, and so we started our shopping day!
Walked into one of this shoes shop and its that oppa again! Hahas, his friendliness will never let me forget. And never fail, we will not come out empty hand..
Shop and shop, wanted to walk down to Hongdae in the first place, but ended up decided to took subway. HAHA. *lazy womens*
While waiting for Cheryl & Jiayee to come, we grab a cup of coffee at Hello Kitty Cafe. And of course because we know there have free wifi! ㅋㅋㅋ
KyoChon Chicken as dinner after meeting up the girls.
Our all time favorite chicken in Korea!!
Dongdaemun, out of so many buildings, i only like to go to 'Hellp apM'.
Normally me and feli will walk around speaking softly but with the crazy girls now, we made damn much noise!!
Especially when we are the mens level. Normally will just ignore those sales person calling, shouting for you, but this time round our Cheryl really entertained them and us so much.. LOL!
12.03.19 (Mon)

Meet the girls 12pm at Dongnimmun station.
They wanted to visit this prison, and so we joined along!

IT'S MY BIRTHDAY~~~!
Nevertheless, my birthday of course who i want to see is only him. heeheeee~
Wait for them to come and we left to Sinsa enjoy our taitai life, sitting down at Coffee Smith relaxing and enjoying our great coffee.
Feli said she's going out to the convenience store to help her cousin to buy some stuff.
She really took a long time to return! No internet which she left me, and what i have is the samsung tab to play word search which i'm very addicted with.
No long after she return, Cheryl and Jiayee appeared with the Paris Baguette Secret Cake!!
Omg~ I really totally never realise they was there where they actually walked pass right infront of me. :D
Not say shock, but yea surprise! Thanks girls for the birthday surprise!
And ahhhhh Secret Cake! That's the cake we are craving for since it launched last year Oct.
Seperate our way again.
So me and quek went to Express Bus Terminal and continue our taitai life shopping in Shinsegae Department Store. XD
Bought some foods for them as it's their 300days anniversary. :) Cool right? My birthday, their 300days. So coincidence. ^__^
Once again not to post details.
But really thanks for the birthday songs sang by you all..
The birthday message by you, and the way you ignore the japan fans. HAHA!! Love you the most!! :D
Reached our hotel subway station, after alighting the train, we saw a group of people filming down there.
Being a typical singaporean of course we went to take a look at who was there.
Ended up Minho from SHINee was right infront of us, filming the last episode of "Salamander Guru and the Shadows". What a luck today.

Arrived Petite France, it's really as 'petite' as i expected!! HAHA!
From TV it look big, but the fact is.....................................
Found the room where kwangsoo and jongkook was hiding and playing scissor paper stone with Nichkhun. LoL.
Behind all those buildings, there is this place with super nice scenery up there. Normally people wont walk until there but we did. Hahas~
There is this particular buildind that i wanted to go up.
Once we reached the top level seeing those people drawn on the walls, definitely we joined in. Oops~ :)

So we went off first to have our lunch too before saying hii again.
To the another venue, everyone reached and left my sw and leader.
He was late already i guess, so came in quickly and pressed the lift to go up.
And i told him that we are leaving to airport now.
At first he never realise the 'now', then he suddenly "NOW?!!!"
Hahas and stop the lift from closing and walk out.
All the kinds of rubbish coming out from him and yaaa i don't understand you! Too complicated already, your korean!
Hahas. Happy ending and we left the place.
