all good things must come to an end
Tomorrow will officially be the last day of the 6-week long and exciting sem break! I can still clearly remember the last day of finals. Was looking forward to the UK/Paris trip, Korea trip and the amount of days I'll be able to spend in Malacca ♥ ♥ ♥
Paris was an adventure of a lifetime! I finally got the chance to see the Tour Eiffel yay!
I also enjoyed going back to London & Cambridge. Being in a totally different country for 3 weeks really taught me a lot. I have to admit, halfway through this 3 week trip, I felt extremely homesick and started to get really tired of travelling. The several outings and parties that I missed back home didn't make me feel better at all :/ But! I couldn't have pulled through if not for Amanda and my sister who were with me throughout the whole 'Europe tour'.
Right now, as I reminisce the ups and downs we encountered in that trip itself, I genuinely wish I could relive every single bit of it. Hanging out in Starbucks in Paris every night for the free wifi, being mocked by French waiters, walking through tube stations in London, Boxing Day shopping in Oxford Street, visiting Winter Wonderland, chilling in Cambridge..... ♥
Super exhausting and fun-filled day with Wanlin and Gimtoong in London! They never fail to make me laugh~
After Korea, I finally got to return to Malacca and MEET UP WITH EM HIGHSCHOOL BROTHERS AND SISTERS!!
Too Legit To Quit Crew!
No one knows me better than these peeps do (: It's been so long since I last got together with them!
Then came Chinese New Year! I looooove CNY! I really enjoyed every bit of this year's CNY. Maybe because I loved just being at home - been really homesick throughout the past year.
Tried to make this year's CNY a memorable one because I may not get to celebrate it the same way next year when I'm studying in the US ):
My second famfam :D
CNY BBQ at Gimtoong's crib! It was really nice to see nearly all of the highschool friends from different schools all in one place. The last time we had a gathering this big was two years ago..... at the exact same place haha. Feels weird to see how much we've all changed and grew.
L.O.L Crew hehehhehee
When it was time to for everyone to leave the party, I would be lying if i said I didn't feel like crying. This party was sort of a mini farewell as the next day, all of us would be going back to where we all are supposed to be - KL/Subang, and some other states because the CNY holiday was coming to an end ):
I really miss Malacca. The amazing friends, memorable places and of course, HOME. Tomorrow i'll be going back to MY "MUCH-LOVED" hostel and reality shall resume from where it stopped 6 weeks ago. I miss everything that happened during the sem break. But as cliche as it sounds, life freaking goes on. Fuck my life ;_;

seoul day 7 ; 14 january 2012
Last day in Seoul hmmmm ):
Visited Red Mango, which is this dessert shop in Myeongdong.
While walking to another cafe ....
I honestly think Seohyun and KimHyunJoong look awkward together..
And then JJAJJANNN! We decided to have dinner at Miss Lee Cafe.
It's the cafe where Seohyun and Yonghwa came for one of their dates in We Got Married. This cafe has several branches all around Seoul. The one we went to was the Myeongdong one. The one Yongseo visited was the one in Insadong (: Nevertheless, the 'endorsement pics' they had all around this branch was A LOT.
We ordered they're famous dish, (the one Yongseo ordered too) 추억의 도시락.
It's served like that but you're supposed to shake shake shake shake it with it's lid to mix everything up. And then eat it (:
Instructions on the menu
If you watched the Yongseo episode, you'll know that they also wrote messages and hung them up on a tree (: It's sort of a thing for all MissLee Cafes.
Besides the msgs, you can also write on a postcard and put it into the postbox. The cool part is, they'll send it back to you after 100 days. (i'm 99% sure about this system. that remaining 1% is due to my incompetent korean)
SO yehhhhhh that was about it! After dinner we packed up and headed to the airport ): Kinda sad how all good things must always come to an end. I know I say this all the time, but i want to go back to korea again! I'm not too sure when's the next time i'll get to go though. No matter what, Korea will always be the place that holds many exciting and unforgettable memories for me. Can't wait to go back. Bye bye koleaaaa ^^

seoul day 6 ; 13 january 2012
Friday the 13th :O
___________________________
Remember about the book I bought from Kyobo a few days ago? I decided to exchange it for another book. The exchange system seriously blew my mind O_O The new book I chose was 1000won cheaper than the one I had. I was going to forgo that 1000won but turns out, they actually return whatever balance there is to you. You dont have to get a book which is more expensive to exchange. If it's cheaper, they'll just pay you back the difference. KOREA ILU. If this system were to be introduced in Malaysia, god knows how the people here are going to abuse it. :x
This is only a small part of the whole HUGEASS bookstore
Korean Grammar for International Learners by Yonsei (: Heard that it's a pretty good boook and it's for korean grammar which is what i need! woooop!
After that we headed to the Lotte Mart in 서울역 to buy foodstuff back home. Didnt take many pictures there but ooomgggg i love supermarkets in Korea. Can never get enough of them!
Lunch was at Pizza hut!
LeeSeunggi~
Cheese-baked sweet potato
One can never get enough of Temple Run :3
(I just realised we forgot to take a picture of the pizza itself)
After that we just went back to the hotel in Myeongdong to rest before going out once again lol. Shopping, YET again.
I spy......?
Taecyeon ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ y so hot?!
JYJ autograph in Nature Republic
Finally decided to enter Innisfree and i LOOOOVE INNISFREE :D One thing about the sales assistants in cosmetic shops in korea. They are beyond annoying. They'll stand outside the shop and start promoting their products and they'll literally do anything to make you enter their shop. Innisfree, however was likeabossss haha. They don't even care about you (which i like!). So yay finally get to shop in peace!
When paying, I asked if there were any free Yoona merchandise available. (Yoona endorses this brand) but sadly there was none ): The lady did, however, give me what she called a "happy bag" lol. Cuuuuute!
Product samples inside
We also had ice cream from Cold Stone! YUMMMMMS. My first time haha. We had choco banana~
Mixing everything up
Dinner was the world's best barbeque dinner ever. 열탄불고기 (yeoltan bulgogi) at 새마을식당. It's basically frozen beef with sweet marinade which you then grill. BEST.STUFF.EVER.
Look at the smoke!! (Our clothes smelled terrible after this meal haha)
You then eat the meat with rice mixed with seaweed. I'm getting hungry again just looking at the pictures. ):
___________
One more day to go~~

seoul day 5 ; 12 january 2012
I'm back in Malaysia! Already missing Seoul a lot ㅠㅠㅠㅠ
___________________________________________
So! Day 5. Most unproductive day haha. Dunkin Donuts for brunch!
3층. There are 4 floors altogether.
After that we headed to 동대문 (Dongdaemun) because Christine wanted to look for a pair of heels that she bought last Summer. Note: SUMMER. Tried convincing her that they obviously won't sell summer stocks during the WINTER but she refused to listen and still wanted to try her luck. True enough, no one was selling anything open-toed OTL.
Lunch was 김치찌개 (kimchi jjigae) at a restaurant named 김치찌개 LOLLL.
We ordered the 2-people set when there were 3 of us. Didn't even manage to finish that in the end though. Koreans eat a lot ><
And i find rice served in bowls like this ... fascinating (;
계란말이 with ham nomnomnomomom.
The best part about today was that it was SNOWING! Pretty surprised the moment we stepped out of the hotel and it took me a good 5 seconds to realise that the little water droplets were snow! But it didn't snow heavy enough for the snow to build up on the ground~
Fail attempt at trying to take a picture of it snowing X) You can't see anything. Stop squinting your eyes loool
Later we went to 남대문 시장 (Namdaemun Market) to check the place out. Didn't take many pictures there because we were kinda tired. So after that we just went back to Myeongdong for more shopping!
I like how the Forever 21 here uses paper bags/envelopes. YERROW PAPER SHO PURDYY.
This post is so boring haha i promise the next one wont be as boring.... i hope?
