Cindy and bf is back in korea (the land of kimchi) and we went to Myeongdong today for lunch.

Cindy ordered this and I think it looks weird... look at the ICE CUBES! Is like veg in pepsi...

I am watching this drama call "scent of a women" now and is really good. I dont like the title of this drama though.

Bought their soundtrack because the songs in this drama are damm nice!

Timetable in new semester is surprisingly relax. I only have 5 modules and bible study (gosh...) and no class on thursday and friday!

If there is a sin i need to repent, that will be spending ability. Seriously I think I contribute too much to Korea's economy. Today after meeting Cindy n bf, I went to somewhere else to shop and I spend like as if my mum has a money printing machine at home. Is time to stop this madness before my mum send someone to korea to kill me.

Family of death-row M'sian writes to S'pore presidential candidates

After reading this news I feel that law in Singapore is sometimes too cruel. Everyone makes mistakes and who doesnt deserves a second chance?

He was only 18 when he was caught and he had spend 5 years in prison going through trial and most probably ending up getting the death sentence.

I cant imagine what he had gone through for the past 5 years, the kind of life where there is no future and you know when you are going to die.

I really hope that the new president who is going to get elected tmr will be able to help him.

Went to Korea Baduk Association today to meet a group of female pros to help me advertise for go shop.

They have this special group which have 9 of them (the leader did not turn up) where they will meet up almost everyday to train. The atmosphere is really fun and is not as strict as I thought. Some of them can speak some english and is better than I thought.

Went to a far place for dinner tonight. The journey require a near 1hour trip and half way through a guy sat beside me. We were both alighting at the terminal and when I saw him walk to the exit I got a shocked. He was wearing the same shirt as me!!! same color, same design and he was beside me for half an hour!!!!! hahahhahaha.

Asked around and I finally found the nearest gym from my place. When korean say is near never trust them because to us (singaporean) it is bloody FAR!

I just checked the weather forecast and I got a shocked. 18c!!! Nightmare is approaching day by day.....

So glad that the supermarket actually sell cut fruit. Is so convenient compared to those I bought earlier. Ok, i am just lazy, hahaha.

Pineapple taste the best among these 4 fruits.

This is super nice and they even have this "limited edition" summer series to con people like us to buy more.

Met up with Chaelim today and had a farewell lunch with her cause she will be going to US tmr as exchange student and will only be back next year June.

We went to a japanese restaurant for lunch and it was cheaper than I thought.

Chicken with egg. After the waitress serves the food, she mumble some stuff and walked off. I asked Chaelim what was she talking about and she said that if the food is too salty or too bland tell the waitress. I wonder what will she do if I say is too salty. Anyway the food is good.

We went to a hello kitty cafe near the area. There are only 4 of this shop in korea.

The entrance. I dun understand why is the logo a black hello kitty head turning to her right.

Is very hello kitty inside. If i am a fan of hello kitty, i will go crazy here...

Look very delicious. But the cake cost so expensive!

Merchandise for sale.

Second level.

A super big hello kitty at the corner to scare children.... Looking at this pic I wonder how hello kitty scratch her ears...

I think this is very nice.

The real thing.

I almost faint when Chaelim told me my drink was the one on the right. I ordered Ice green tea and I thought is the one the left (green tean LATTE). My drink look like my Ah Gong favourite tea...

Went to breaktalk in myeongdong and wanted to buy mooncake from there but they haven start selling, muhahahaha.. So got this which taste quite nice when I ate it in Singapore.

Had dinner near my place. This is one of my favourite restaurant in my area because it is cheap and it taste nice.

Side dish. These are the 3 main dish they serve in most korean restaurant. the skin-like dish is my favourite, follow by kimchi.

I order this almost everytime I eat here. Fried beef with rice.

The rain became quite scary when I finish dinner. Is so scary that I dun mind taking my camera out in the rain to take pictures. I wonder if Cindy have seen this scene around our place....

Had a sudden crave for fast food today so I went to the nearest fast food restaurant (Mcdonalds) which is a half an hour walk from my place.

The mcdonald staff who serves me looks totally like a frustrated robot because she wasnt smiling at all and she got this perfect mono tone voice. I wanted to try this burger call 그랜드 프라임 but I just cant figure out is the english name for it. I only know is grand something... So when it was my turn I just point at the picture directly behind her and say I want that.

But my robot friend here didnt even bother turning her head and just remain in the same position and ask me which one, hahahaha. Later I found out that the name of the burger is call Grand Prime and it sux by the way.

Walked home and I saw 4 people sitting outside the convenience stall near my home, chatting and eating chips, deep down I was thinking "wah, relax relax sia...." Suddenly one of them shout out "hey daniel" I was like wah, I so famous ah...

A closer look and it was my tuition center boss. He was wearing super causal and he look so different because he wears serious stuff everytime I see him. What really shocked me is that his wife who was seating beside him literally jumps onto her feet and bow to me. I am so not used to people older than me doing that to me....

Was looking at the blog links on my blog and I feel kind of sad because most links there are "dead". Even though they dont update anymore I cant bear to delete them away because there are a lot of memories. I cant believe my blog is already 6 years old.

When I saw how the internet service guy fixed my internet today, I feel kind of dumb. He just right-click on an icon and click enable then the internet starts working. Is just that simple. He must be cursing me deep down cause he came all the way down on a sunday just to help me click 1 button, muhahahaha.

Is rain rain and more rain in Korea. Where the hell is my summer... Is time to prepare my autumn wear soon :(

Shall post pic of what i bought in Hong kong and what my sis got for me.

At first we did not have any plans to go disneyland so my sis got me a few stuff from there. Pluto pen. I dunno when it became a tradition for us to buy pen for each other when we go overseas trip.

This is my favourite! Harry potter wand. Is actually a pen... (AGAIN)

Towel in can. The can looks ugly maybe because of daniel radcliffe's face but the towel is quite good quality.

My sis must have thought that I am some gambling addict... I was really surprise that she got this for me. The box looks kind of creepy and it was the 7th month when she pass this to me.

Before I came korea I was really crazy about mac's keychain so she got me the hongkong version.

I know I am a bit crazy to buy so many pack for wet tissue but this tissue got this really nice watermelon smell. Even my sis think is very good smell but she din buy any....

I am not sure if this is mickey's hand or mickey's glove. Got this from the airport disney shop. I dont remember seeing this inside disneyland.

I am totally in love with stitch. Got this from disneyland. Should have buy more......

Got a watch from Disneyland. Most of the watch looks too gu niang and only 1 part of disneyland sell this design. Had to change the strap in hongkong because the original strap is fake leather and it looks ugly.

We walked past this calligraphy shop when we visited the peak and I really like the wordings so I got 1 for myself and a few for my family. I even ask the shop person whether the words are print on or real calligraphy, hahahaha.

This is of course not from Hongkong, haha. Got this air purifier from e-mart yesterday because it is too dusty in my room and I even start coughing. So far it is quite useful and the funny smell in my room is also gone.

My internet is down and I have to steal my neighbour's wireless. I am not sure whose wireless it belongs to because is never off. Thanks to the tuition center boss, the internet man will be coming to fix it.

Day 5

Day 5 is suppose to be a very exciting day because I wanted to give yls a surprise at his work place.

A very special rule in Hong Kong cafe. If there are 2 of u during peak hours, u cannot seat facing eat other to eat, u have to seat beside each other. So it means that u will be facing a stranger. I think this is a good strategy to prevent people to eat slowly and talk cock during busy hours.

The breakfast pineapple bun is famous in this shop.

Taste like normal tea to me.

Pineapple Bun. Look different from the picture but it taste good especially with the butter in the middle.

Roti Prata!!! Gosh, super nice!

This is where YLS work. Before going to Hongkong, I asked my sis to call this place and check when yls will be in office teaching and we told the staff not to tell him because we want to give him a surprise.

So while waiting for YLS to finish teaching, I went around to take pictures. This is the reception area and I heard that they have a lot of admin stuff. Swa should hire 1 to 2 more because we are really bad in this area and it will affect the whole operation of swa.

The teaching staff in this school. Almost all the staff are amateur and I am surprise to see that they are low dans. Swa uses a different strategy in this area but I am not sure if is right. Imagine a 6p teaching beginner, how would u feel if u r the 6p.

I really like this! Is just above the reception area and is for some lighting purpose.

A public playing area which even my sis think is nice.

An mini pantry that sells drink

Computer area just like the bishan one. No internet but fill with go programs to children to play.

Their monthly magazine.

GO equipment which they are selling.

I think swa should have something like this. The one we have is too small to put board. Of course, the design needs to be good.

They also have a chart for promotion. Green are kyu players and yellow are dan players.

If u r from swa and u r reading this, yls wants u to help organize this. HK vs SG. Please tell exco, thank you.

I cant miss the chance to ask yls to advertise for my shop. When he saw me after his class I think he was really shocked. If he was older I think he would have an heart attack. We talk a lot about this sch and how swa can improve. Is really good to see him.

My sis really loves this dish.

This chicken rice looks pretty but it taste like shit. Seriously this is the worst meal I have eaten in Hong Kong and it cost me 7sgd...

After lunch I went to airport and waited for a few hours for my flight. HK airport even have disney shop! Most of the things here can be found in disneyland but they dont sell the better ones.

My dinner on plane. When I heard the air stewardess telling the person in front of me that the dinner is either ma po tofu or bi bim bap (AGAIN) I feel like running to her and ask for the ma po tofu in case the same thing (only bi bim bap left) happen again. But i think most of the people on the flight were sleeping so I got my food choice.

My flight was delayed for an hour because of bad weather in Korea. I was thinking how bad can the weather be and it turn out to be quite bad...the fog was really thick in korea.

Conclusion for this trip:

I still remember very clearly that a lot of my foreigner friends told me that Singapore is such a clean and green city. I will usually smile and say thank you but deep down I wonder why do they say that because I dont think is that clean.

But after this Hong Kong trip, I really get what they mean. It took me 4 days to get use to the Hongkong environment. Maybe I am too pampered, I cant stand how dirty most of the building looks and there are just too many people. I thought Singapore was bad in the crowdy environment but HK is the winner.

After reaching Korea, I feel happy. Is like reaching Singapore when coming back from overseas. And when I was walking to school today, I realize that I live in a very peaceful and quiet town and I am really glad. I will treasure every moment in Korea now.

Lastly I am really happy to be able to travel with my sis because in future when both of us starts working, we wont have time to enjoy this kind of fun and crazy stuff together. I just hope that our relationship will be as good even when we have our own family.
