Hey guys! It's been awhile since I actually posted a blog post, probs a year? Been writing posts for many events through out 2016 but never actually posted any cause I didn't finish the posts 😂 This just goes to show how lazy and inconsistent I am with blogging. Sighs. But fear not! This time I finally got my shit together to write a blog post 🤔😉
This is not my first trip to Korea though. Been to kimchi land once in 2006 and missed it a lot since then, so I decided to fly back to see how things have changed.
What's special about this trip that really got myself to pick my ass up where I left it in blogspot and share with all of you is the fact that this is the first trip I have ever planned and managed with my friends, totally no parents' help! All by ourselves! 대박~ 😆 We're all extremely excited cause some of us haven't been to Korea before and we look forward to how our planned trip goes. And we're definitely accepting any challenges that come our way 🤔
Day 1
At Changi Airport with our beloved giraffe who couldn't make it for the trip with us 😔
Time check. It's 0445hrs and I'm stuck legit freezing in the plane from KL, Malaysia to Incheon, Korea. Never been on a night flight in my life and this is a very terrible first experience, okay maybe not. Luckily I have my face mask ready, if not I might or might not have suffered an on-plane asthma Attack from the cold air lol.
In addition, can you believe I'm actually writing a blogpost whilst freezing to death? Amazing! 🙄😂 At least I finally have the determination to write a few paragraphs. Not even sure whether I slept at all, just kept dozing off and waking up, feels as though I didn't get any rest 😪
GOOD NEWS IS we're reaching real soon!! In 3h 😂😂😂 well, that's long af... But it's alright, I can't sleep anymore so I'm just gonna stay up to read books, continue writing and HOPEFULLYYY get to see the sunrise 🌅

Afterwards, our beloved Airbnb host booked us a private cab and sent us to the neighbourhood, where we'll be living at for the week, to leave our luggages. It was extremely cold while exploring the neighbourhood, -3 degrees. None of us could get used to it. So we decided to stop by the nearest convenient store to get some hot drinks before we die of the cold weather.
While waiting for our host to finish preparing the house, we took a look around the neighbourhood, we even found a beautiful scenery viewing the Namsan Tower! (Quick fact: our neighbourhood is surrounded by Namsan, Myeongdong and Itaewon, making it easy for us to get around tourist spots)
Also, not to forget this delicious 붕어빵 (fish-shaped pastry with red bean filling) we found around the corner! It is super tasty and cheap!
Once the house was prepared, we went back and got to know our host, Jey Hong! He's very friendly and welcoming. He even ordered Chinese food and we ate dinner together on the first night. So fulfilling!
Day 2
Second day and we're excited to be able to go with our plans!! We woke up early to prepare breakfast for everyone.
3 girls making a delicious meal in the kitchen at 8am (:
For our second day, we plan to go to Lotte World which is located at Jamsil Station, further south-east of Seoul and then to N Seoul Tower. This means we get to ride the Seoul subway for the first time!
Not to forget the picturesque scenery from our neighbourhood to the Subway station!
Very amazed at how subway stations are always filled with full length mirrors. Would be great if MRT stations in SG have them too, that way we won't need to be so self-conscious about our appearances all the time since we get to check them even on the rush.
The subway not only travels at a very fast rate but also provides many eye catching sceneries to look at too! Not long, we reached Jamsil station. LOTTE WORLD, HERE WE COME!!
We kids spent our day at the theme park playing the rides while the laobu-s (mothers) went on a short shopping spree around its joint shopping mall. It is indeed a place for everyone's satisfaction and pleasure! A pity we didn't take a lot of pictures there, but we did take some neoprints!!
In the evening, we proceeded to N Seoul Tower through a series of transportations, including the city bus. YAY FIRST BUS RIDE! It was also amazingly cold that evening, -SIX DEGREES? You kidding me? NO WAY. Our hands were freezing until we got into the bus but I guess all's worth it when you see this view right?
There's also a Hello Kitty shop too! Went in to take a look and bought some items because why not right?? IT'S HELLO KITTY!!
Only 2 days worth of pictures and already so long lol. Guess I'll have to make this into parts. Part 2 will be posted real soon! Please look forward to it 많이 기다려주세요!!
