It has been quite a while since last blog because i was a part time tour guide for the past few days, haha. My weiqi frends came to korea so I have to bring them around and thanks to them, now I know where to get cheap and nice shirt. Think my sis will go crazy when she sees the place.

When we went to the mall where bargaining price is allow, we have to walk in a single file cause the place was quite cram, is like you will die for sure if there is a fire. Anyway me, xing wei, wenjun and chris were there and as long as wen jun is not walking in front people will thought that we are korean and will talk to us in korean. But once wenjun leads the way, we start to heard all kind of different language from the stall owner, one of them even say sa wa de carp (thai language) to wen jun, muhahahhahah. It was really the joke of the day.

Ok, some pic of the trip.

Korean version of sweet and sour pork. My friends were saying this is like meat in apple syrup dish, haha.

Ok, time for disgusting pic.. This is 1 big reason why Singapore ban chewing gum and I love Singapore for that. I was adjusting the bus window curtain and my precious hand touched this crap... guess what... IT IS STILL STICKY!!!!

Plastic surgery ad on train. Come to think of it, my camera is quite good, despite dropping on the floor a few times, it is still working and able to take this pic on a moving train. Sad to say it is no longer available in the market...

went to a weiqi club near my place with my friends. Will be good if there is a place like that in Singapore...

HUAT AH!!!! Is my first time looking at people betting on GO and the amount they bet is more than 100SGD.

went to everland with my frends too. The interior design look quite similar to universal studio but is way way bigger than Singapore Universal Studio. But after coming here, I am not sure if I should go in if my sis come in Sep cause I dont take the rides all...

BEFORE..

AFTER.... now you know why I dont take the rides...

When I saw this at first I thought it was some cage or construction site but it turn out to be roller coaster tracks! Seriously who in the right mind will take the ride (sad to say, most crazy ppl like my sis will take it without hesitation)

Went to watch NANTA with my friends and I have to really apologise to xing wei cause he has been wanting us to watch this show and yet I felt asleep inside...

Seriously I am so surprise to see so many tagboard comments after the last post.

Conclusion= Most of my friends are hungry ghost. Muhahahhaha!!

Dinner for today's international GO conference is korean style buffet!!!

Fried rice which taste better than it look.

Soba.

Chicken wing which taste really good. No more left when I went for second round..

Beef. Too bony so din taste it.

This is the korean version of sweet and sour pork. They look like french fries in bbq sauce in thi spic.

Dont think anyone is interested in this..

Sushi..

Hmm, dont really like this. It look like a meal for horses...

kimchi! without this dish I think all koreans there will start to scream.

Dunno what is this, look like the long version of nata de coco..

Strange tasting beef hiding under some white stuff.

no comment....

No idea what is this too. Nowadays i see red bloody food in every meal..

Normal Kimbap and colorful kimbap..

Not sure this dish of meat belongs to which poor animal.

Raw sushi... I still dun understand why ppl like to eat sashimi. Is as if you are chewing your own tongue..

If they serve a dish like this in Singapore buffet, the first thing the host do will be taking a pic of it and send to stomp then call the buffet company to F them.

One of my favorite korean food. Korean version of tang hoon.

taste good

Apple salad!! Taste great too.

Think the buffet company cant think of any new dish so just dump some stuff on 2 big dish of salad. I believe this 2 dishes have the same call n complain effect in singapore.

Korean version of mua chee...

Cakes!! regret not trying them..

Was in school for an international baduk conference and today was the friendly match day. China send a very strong team, 6 pro players and even the famous amateur player Hu Yu Qing came.

My korean friend who was in either the 2nd or 3rd insei group won his first few match and he was feeling really good. His GO level is of course damm good and is like xie tang's level. But after a match with the strongest chinese pro among the 6 of them, he became really emo. I asked him what happened and he said his opponent and him are 2 totally different level, and he lost really badly. To make a person of his strength to say something like that, i cant imagine how strong his opponent is. Is just scary.

But wait a minute, if his opponent is already that strong, what about lee sedol?

This game must be really bad for the old man because he is going to pluck out all this hair. Never put this photo near swa because it will scare away parents.

Indeed, his opponent who is just a 15 years old girl who became pro last year has already 7 straight wins in this senior vs ladies competition. With 12 players on each side, she is the first player for the female team and has not lost a single match yet. With 7 straight wins, she broke the record for the most consecutive wins in this competition. As for the remaining 5 senior players, I wonder who can stop her.

Went to supermarket yesterday and I decided to get fruits because haven been eating them for some days already.

So I decided to get bananas because it is cheap and convenient to eat, no need to peel or wash. But there is one very bad thing about banana, it spoil very easily. Went to the banana section and I stared looking for the smallest bunch because I eat only one a day and i dont want my house to have the rotten banana smell. Finally I found one bunch with only 6 bananas and when I was wrapping it up, the supermarket aunty look at me with a look as if is saying "aiyo this boy so stupid ah, take so small one" then she came over and pluck some bananas from other bunch and put into my bag. I was like "shit!!! my house is going to have the rotten smell AGAIN"

In korean culture, is rude to reject people's kindness so with no choice, I have to smile with great gratitude in front of that aunty and my mind thinking very hard how to get rid of those extra bananas...

It has been a while since I post food pic. This is my lunch today, Soba. I have never ate soba in Singapore before because it look strange (like worms of course) and is COLD. After tasting it, is not that bad...

I was talking to a secondary school friend today and she told me"wah lao, I feel like vomiting after looking at all your food pic in your blog" Muhahahhahhahah. I think Singaporean have not realize that they are very lucky because there are so many variety of food available. And the reason why i ate soba for lunch is because I really dunno what to eat anymore, haha.

Met professor Kim in school today and I have to say that he is really kind and helpful because when he know about the GO SHOP, he told me he will help me to get contacts so that I can set up stalls in many other competitions. He even gave me some tumbler ideas, really appreciate his help.

And his assistant's chinese is superb!! haha, cause she was typing some invitation letter to China and she needs my help with some sentence and wah..., when i look at the content I think she can write a lot better than many singaporeans. She say she only learn for 1 year and stop for a year. Amazing....

My blog entry today is about my journey to a bloody factory in Seoul.

This factory is suppose to be very near the train station (according to the map i print out) but I just could not find it. People around there are mostly old people and when I try to ask them, they will frown immediately and say 몰라,몰라 (dont know x2), some said that before i ask anything, hahahaha!! Yes, is super frustrating...

Then, when I was about to give up, I saw HOPE.... a police station!!! haha. Yes, being a tired and desperate boy, I went in and ask for direction. The old policeman is the kindest person I have met today because a group of 6 policeman is about to do their rounds around the neighborhood and he ask them to bring me to the factory. Muhahaha, instantly I have 6 bodyguards with me. I have to say it is a very interesting experience.

But the story is not yet over, the policemen and I wonder around the place asking locals and they still cant find the exact location. So we have to call the company and finally after half an hour, we found the factory which is really super duper near the station.

The main problem is that this factory is located underground and they dont even have a signboard. The place look super suspicious so 3 policemen went down with me and when the workers in the factory saw us, they look kind of panic, muhahahhaha.

Discussion with the factory was ok, even though the scene was like a chicken and a duck communicating. Thanks to online translation, things arent too bad.

A tired and fun day indeed.

[高清] 楊宗緯 - 那個男人《秘密花園》中文版 Secret Garden 시크릿 가든

Saw this video on my sis blog. The chinese version of secret garden theme song. I actually like this song a lot (korean version) be it the male version or the female version. For the chinese version, hmm...i just feel that the lyrics is too simple? Is just not touching enough? haha.

Before coming to Korea I wonder why SG government have to fine people for spitting. Not that people dont spit in SG anymore, but people who does that are usually old ppl who have either too much flem or they are just trying to do something to keep them occupied. But in Korea, I realize you can see many ppl spitting in public, even high school kids.

Korea Baduk Association got this actress to sort of endorse GO in korea. I have seen her picture in the monthly magazine a few times and i thought she was an expire aunty actress until Chaelim told me who she was...

I was shocked because she was one of the main actress in a drama i recently finish watching and i could not recognize her!! The drama was baker king but she look so different......

My orders are here finally!! The delivery uncle ask me what are those in a very suspicious tone, muhahahaha!!
