We went to Suwon yesterday for a GO competition. I didnt manage to join because there was no vacancy left so I brought my tumblers there to sell.


I was quite excited when I saw the competition venue cause it was outdoor and it spread across quite a wide area. I wonder if I can see this scene in Singapore before I die.


There are many different categories like uni, women, kids etc... and under these categories are more sub categories.

Looks very hot but it was really cold in the morning and night. Autumn time...


My GO SHOP booth. Thanks to Cindy for being my part time worker and really wanna thank my korean friends who help to promote and "hard-sell" to other koreans, haha.


My dinner in a chinese restaurant. This dish is just too mushroomshy... Dont think I will be eating mushroom any time soon.


Tried this dish last week for lunch and I am starting to like it. When I first came Korea, this dish was just too spicy for me but now I think my tongue is a bit screw up so is not as spicy as before.

Just when I thought bridge class last semester was bad, I got something worst this semester... BIBLE STUDY... This is one of the compulsory module because my uni is a christian school and I cant believe I have to do summary for some part of the bible. I think everyone else dread going for this class cause they look as dead as me when the lesson starts.

My lunch in school last week. Tuna and kimchi fried rice.

These few days had been crazy days because I have to bring my sis and her fried around seoul and I have to say that their shopping stamina and energy are superb.


THEY ARE CRAZY!!! Look at the bags within bags. No wonder korean economy is recovering fast.


One of the most fierce shop name I have ever seen in korea. 니마 (你妈)


We went to a flea market and there is this stall where you can have your portrait drawn in 10 seconds. Guess which is my sister? (Hint:the one that look like shrek).


I think my sis should ask for a refund...

My sis and her friends came korea today to tour around for 2 weeks and I went airport to fetch them. I cant believe I spent 4hours just on bus rides, a bad thing about big country.

We took taxi from the bus terminal to the hotel and the driver starts talking stuff that I dont understand. I only know he sounds unhappy and impatient, maybe is because he thinks the hotel is too near or he is having pms. So to shut him up, I told him in korean that I dont understand korean.

Then he suddenly look at me and got this "r u kidding me" face then he said "u dun understand???" OMG, I always wonder will there be anyone who thinks that I am a real korean and I just pretend I cant understand. And this joker taxi driver is that guy.

Then he continued.."u can speak korean!! When u said I dont understand korean, u said it very well!" I am totally speechless.. I wanted to tell him that "I dun understand korean" is my best spoken korean but i have not study this chapter yet so I just nod and keep quiet.

The first thing my sis said when she saw me was that my hair is screwed up. muhahahah, of course! How can i look normal with a mushroom on my head. Her friend says that I look thinner compared to the last time she saw me but I have been eating quite a lot in korea. Maybe kimchi is the solution to become thin!!!

Went to myeongdong 2 days ago to help my poly friend get some SNSD stuff. Is so scary to see all the long sleeves and furry clothing in almost all the shops now because it only means that hot summer days will be replace by super cold weather.

Anyway after buying the stuff, I went to a singapore cafe to try their kaya bread.


This is the shop name. It has been a long time since I see the word Kopitiam.


They use a very traditional method for waiting orders. Most of the cafe uses the electronic type where it will vibrate when is your turn to collect your stuff.


Their menu. If the price here is converted to SG dollar, I think is quite expensive.


The toast taste average because I cant really taste the sweetness of the kaya. I am not sure if korean meals are killing my taste bud because most of them are either too spicy or of extreme taste so this meal taste quite bland for me...

As I was eating the toast, a Caucasian walk into the shop and scan through the menu and ask something that surprise me. "do you sell the egg?" I think the korean staff look super confuse so he gave up and order something else. Then he ask again "do u know where is Yakun? A competitor of yours" hahaha. Because I was near him so I told him where is it and found that he was doing research in NUS for the past 3 months. He even told me that Yakun is so good that he ate it everyday for breakfast!


After hearing what the Caucasian said, I went to Yakun the next day to try the korean version. I have admit that I was super excited when I saw the singapore trademark egg. The milk tea taste as good too. But the toast taste the same as the previous one, not sweet enough.


My lunch in school. It taste better than it looks. I think i am quite a picky eater so if i say it taste good means is quite good, hahaha. But I think Cindy will say this meal sucks.


We went to cindy's place to celebrate her bf birthday. They bought ice cream cake from Baskin-Robbins. This shop sells really nice ice-cream and is everywhere in Korea. A pity that Singapore doesnt have it.


Her bf normally doesnt look this retarded, we forced him to wear those stuff, muhahahaha.


Grand home delivery dinner.

I really miss Singapore food:( Is not that Korean food is not good but is too limited compared to singapore and the food here is very heaty... Imagine seeing red red and more red stuff in meals everyday.

School started yesterday and our department move to a new building. I think everyone loves the new place cause the previous building is super old and it looks like is going to collapse any time. And the best part is there is lift!! Come to think of it, people in our department must be quit fit cause we have to climb the stairs to level 4 a few times in the previous building.

New semester means that I may meet people whom took a break last semester. And it never fail to surprise me that "how old are you" is the top question when we start a conversation. But what surprise me more is that I saw a classmate who is 37 years old. I mean isnt 37 a working age already? What is this guy doing in my class? haha.


Department corridor.


There is even a place for medals!


Finally I have a lesson in this classroom. Out of all the classrooms, only this look like a real GO classroom.


Must they add that "urine" to emphasis male toilet? hahaha. Anyway the toilet is 100 times better than the previous one! And there is toilet roll in every cubicle which means we can shit in peace. Wohooo!!

And we had a welcome party for everyone in a BBQ shop. As I mention before that if you are young, you have to do whatever the older person ask you to do. So most of the cooking and servings in the party are done by year 1 and I saw how they took their revenge...............


They want their seniors to get cancer. And this was my table!!!!!


A kind-hearted year 1 beside my table.....

Stayed up till 5am last week to watch the presidential election. Is quit interesting to see how the candidates control their emotions and expressions after they know the results. Because of the recount of votes due to the close fight, I really pity those reporters standing outside the election department for more than 8hours.


There are a lot of different cafes in korea and I think this is one with the most kiddy name.


I was looking for the word mocha frappuccino on the menu and I couldnt find it. Because is all in korean I thought my korean reading skill deprove. Then.... I saw it... Mocha Tomppuccino. I wont say is creative....


Honey Butter Bread. When I ordered this I thought it will be one of the small slice so I was quite shock to see them serve me the whole piece. I think the waitress who serve me this must have thought that I am some hungry ghost.


One of my favourite bento. I dont mind eating this everyday!!!

Went to the tuition center today to talk to my boss regarding the new schedule and he threw me a really difficult task. He wants me to be the bad guy and I am suppose to tell someone something. Even though I have arrange my school timetable to accommodate everything, I am still thinking if I should continue. Is extra income means I can shop more, hahaha but it doesnt seems right.

My sis will be here 2 weeks later during the korea "cny" period and it means that this place will be like a ghost town. Hope she makes the right decision, hahaha.
