JIENING

Sis graduated yesterday, and a pity i couldnt attend due to work.

Happy graduation! Free from torture and welcome to the cruel working world.

Wearing a graduation robe will never happen to me. Oh well.

Back to seoul after 1.5years. I really enjoyed my time at seoul. The cold weather and going to places ive never been. And and  trying out hanbok for the first time.

Cant wait to be back in june.

Been wanting to head river safari for the longest time. Finally head over for free. Thanks to bf who got the free entry pass.

Heard so much about the river quest boat that will be sold out fast, so we went early.

Theres seriosuly nothing much to see. Thhank god its free. If not i’ll kill nyself for wasting 30bucks.

Went back to crash and eat and slack and sleep.

Seems like everyone is fucking against my words these few days.

Annoying shits.

Looking at the last post. 1 year has gone. My life is still pretty much the same. work.sleep.work.sleep

2013 was good and bad. Travelling out of singapore was more than i planned for.

2 trips to bangkok. 1 trip to KL, 1 trip to bali, 1 trip to hongkong. i love travelling. it makes me happy.

with the #rarelyseven,

wanling got married, wynona came to the world, We are still trying to meet up though we have too much commitments (maybe its just me) but ily’ll still ❤

with the Boyfriend,

i’m more or less stuck with him for life already since we applied for bto (for fun) and we got it. BAHAHAHA. In anyways i’m pretty much looking forward to the day i get my keys. i’m still trying to change my princess temper. (*very failed because he give in too much)

The Start of 2014, bf and i headed over to taiwan as his birthday trip, we thought we needed this getaway because 2013 wasnt in favour to us. I had the cheapest and most expensive food over at taiwan, i got so close to the sheeps which i got scared of. i met up with emily whom i havent seen in 2 years. I walked on the streets which i only see in taiwan drama. I stayed in a pumpkin carriage bed . I love taiwan and i will be back!

Today marks the 36 months love of us. This is so far the longest relationship i ever have and probably the only relationship so far that i feel the most comfortable in.

This year we have travel to 2 places that i always wanted to go. Thanl you for always letting me decide which country to travel to. The gorgeous bali and the amazing korea. Im glad we have this travelling 2 times a year agreement.

2013 we have planned for hongkong and taiwan and probably squeeze in a bangkok/phucket trip.

Thank you for tolerating all my temper. Sometimes,unknowingly i will have my moodswings.

Thank you for always sacrificing your sleep to just pick me up from work.

Thank you for ditching your friends because you know i dont like it

Thank you for always thinking of our future. And our future awaits.

I love you beyond words can describe. Im looking forward to a little home our own and i love you for who you are *but sometimes i hope u can be a lil romantic* hahaha

Happy anniversary cheng

Korea time is one hour ahead of singapore so if we wake up at 7.30am it means 6.30am 😦 Showering in the morning is what i dread the most because it’s so cold! Plan for today is to visit Winter Sonata (Korean drama) filming scene. Few weeks before the trip, i already did google to see if we could book a tour for that. www.seoulcitytour.net has many different kinds of tour! Only make the reservation one day before as their reservation is 24hours and they respond promptly!

Started off the tour at 9am with hungry stomach 😦 Tourguide came to pick us up! and warned us that nami island will be at least 1-2 degrees lower than seoul city. lol. It was about 2 hours drive as it’s out of the city area.

its about a 3 minutes cruise ride over to the island! Weather was freezing already once we got down from the car! The view was amazing! Initially wanted to walk our own but then realise that no one could help us took photos. So our tourguide insist to come with us so he could help us take some shots!

Look at the changing colours of leaves. Too beautiful

Walked to the winter sonata first kiss scene!

And then he said most people who came here will pick up the leaves on the floor and throw up to take a shot, and forced us to do it as well. lol

The beautiful heart shape that was done on the floor

And also a must pose by the trees. Boyfriend refused to do it. It was embarassing because there was alot of other people as well. But my tourguide forced again!

Walked around abit more and took photos. Its like our wedding shoot. The way our guide behave. Nami Island is such a beautiful Place. And two days after we went, it actually snowed there 😦 Went for lunch which was included in the tour package! Some authentic korean food. Didn’t like it very much because there’s too much vege.

Also included in the tour, another filming scene of winter sonata by the han river! amazing view as well!

Went back to seoul and the traffic is horrible. Jams and Jams. Read online also the accident rate in seoul is very high because of all the heavy traffics jam. And 70% of the people who died from it was the pedestrains!

Rested awhile and walkee to Ehwa Woman’s university for dinner! had Jap ramen for dinner and some street food along! Skipped the subway and walked from our guesthouse. Just one stop away. Haven’t walked so much with the boyfriend before. Love walking under the chilling weather with him and a hug from him when im shivering makes me feel better ❤ So glad to have come this trip with him.

Rushed home with bf to pack our luggage 2 hours before we need to leave to the airport! Mum keeps nagging nonstop about how last minute we were. Freshen up and it was time to leave for the airport, Dad came to send us there 🙂

Flew with airasia and we had to transit at KL. KL has one of the worst airport. No food to eat and wifi is so horrible! Board the next plane to Incheon at 0100hrs! Night flight to me is super scary. Afraid the pilots will get sleepy… Airasia X is the bigger version of the normal airasia planes. Still not as spacious as the other airline but at least its bigger. lol

Beautiful skyline when the sun is rising up! I’m amazed by how natural and beautiful the sky looks.

After 6.5hrs of flight, we finally reached incheon airport. As soon as we landed, the captain told us that the temperature in seoul was at 0 Degrees. Passed the immigration and went to rent a wifi router for the week trip. #firstworldproblems So bf and i now can use our phones as and when we want to. Renting a phone can be a problem because i want to save those images in my phone and not others!

Took the airport limousine to our guesthouse area. Its only about 10000won (SGD 11) each. Its cheap compared to taking a taxi. We didnt want to waste extra money on taxis. Guesthouse is at Sinchon area and it takes about 50mins from the airport to that area. The air is so cold that i cant stop shivering!

Lucky us managed to go in the room about 11am as the check in time is only at 2pm! Jguesthouse location was superb! super near the subway and around the guesthouse is the most happening streets of sinchon! Countless of restaurants and marts!

Notes other guests left on the board for them!

After we rested awhile, we decided to go walk around and planned to go have light lunch at the Hello Kitty Cafe at Hongdae! Took the subway and it’s only one stop away. And we kinda get lost because the online directions to the cafe was wrong!

w

Tried asking people on the streets, but koreans english is so bad and we cant speak korean. So we chicken duck with them and finally found it! Hongdae has so many young people! Many shops there but nothing suits us because it’s their winter season already!

The Hello Kitty Cafe is sooo cute!

Ordered a cup of coffee and waffles. And they have this token to let you hold on and when your food is ready, this token will vibrate and u know it’s your turn!

After that we walked around the streets, Bought some earrings and socks. LOL. Came across the street stalls and couldn’t help but to eat. Love the Rice cake! Especially under the cold weather! About 2000won! you can find it in alomost all the street food stalls selling the same thing and all taste equally good!

Didnt focus very much in walking because we wana head to other places to familiarise the areas first. Next up to MyeongDong! Took the subway again! Korea has complicated subway lines but super convenient! You can go to anywhere with that! Love that their train seats is cushioned!

The famous Myeongdong Street!

Cosmetics shops are crazy there! One street has about 3 Ethude House, faceshop etc! Not forgetting Streetfood! Love the twisted potato. okay i love all potatoes lol

Had a rest in Angel Coffee. Korea also have lots of coffee places. Need that for cold weather like this!

Went back to Sinchon and decided to have KFC for dinner. KFC there sucks. Food was cold 😦 And koreans practise this clear your own trays after eating. In every places! So boyfriend would also have to do it! HAHAHA!

Day 1 has been amazingly good! Next up, Day 2 at the gorgeous Nami Island

I’m at the airport departure hall waiting for boarding! Finally flying to seoul tonight!

Checked the temperature and it seems like the temperature is very low. Meh. I’m scared!

Airasia damn slow. Until now also haven’t tell me if I have gotten the upgrade 😦

I finally had dipdye hair. Was deciding very much if I should do it because I have to bleach in order for the colour I came out. Decided to risk it since the hairdresser say my hair is long enough to risk. Just in case I didn’t like it I can cut away. Haha!

I love my hair. I can have pretty hair to Korea. Flying off tomorrow and money not changed. Luggage not packed.

*happy Indian day*
