Sleepless and Restless

I hope I will not get amnesia to finish my Seoul entry, but seriously, I wish I have 48 hours. I wish I can just put my Note in front of me and keep writing, or just be outside taking amazing pictures..sigh.....

But lets keep going and believe tomorrow is going to be great, that tomorrow will be amazing...

^____________^

Lets keep smiling and dream all the best things that we want to achieve in life ^_^

motivation!!!!

But seriuosly, I wish my broadband is as fast as the WIFI in Seoul..could only use/write/upload everything after 12pm...sobss

Day 1 in Seoul

First of all, like I've said earlier, we plan A LOT of things, but the reality, there is also a lot of things you can't control. Especially the tiredness part after walking for whole day.Or since we were with little kid, we need to see her mood more than ours! You cant do much if she starts to cry for being hungry,tired or just wants her milk..but all and all this is very a good experience for me i guess, mana tahu nanti ada anak sendiri pulak kan ^_^

So, we arrived around 8.40 am, and after all immigration process and all, we headed to our guesthouse 1st.Thought of taking subway but since we brings quite a number of luggage, we took the airport bus. And it"s easy and cheaper, than taxi. 10,000 won to our guesthouse in Chungmuro Station (10 mins walk from Myeongdong)~ Get more info about the bus schedules from here : http://www.airport.kr

Dah sampai guesthouse, we have a little bit of drama since nobody was there in the main room that we are supposed to check in. And more so, we have a LOT of bags, and the place was not really a hotel, more like macam rumah ala2 studio apartment orang korea dan bangunan itu sebenarnya berkongsi dgn ofis dgn all other apartment unit. So memang tak kan nak letak kat depan bangunan je kan.. So we have to make a missed call and send message to the number in the email I received. Nasib baik dlm 15 minit orang yang ditunggu pun sampai. So after we leave our bag, we headed to our 1st place.

Excited!!

Myeongdong in the morning..

1st, sebab teruja, we walk to Myeongdong 1st...Nak ambil udara gamaknya. ^_^..

Haven't had our breakfast, so we just go to nearest coffee shop we could find. And we don"t really realised it"s related to Siwon until we were inside..not many fans inside the shop, but lots of fan is taking some random pictures of the banner..

Dah kenyang dan bertenaga, kami menuju ke destinasi utama, Gwanghamun Square, Gyeongbokgung Palace, National Folk Musuem.

By the way. there are so many subway station around the area, you just need to know which area you want to cover first. Best way, Google or else visit this page :http://english.visitkorea.or.kr .Its like my walking dictionary before and even when I was in Seoul.

So many people waiting to get the best shot!

Lepak dulu, mari minum banana milk ^^

cool and exciting

this is near the exit of National Folk Musuem

our room-Uno Guesthouse~ so spacious,Nana, the little girl boleh main kejar2 sendiri

We are supposed to cover Changdeokgung Palace, but yeah, we were so tired we head back to our guesthouse. Tapi kerana masih excited, kami keluar sekejap di waktu malam, Plan nak shopping di Dongdaemun, but we are lost sebab nak cari exit subway yang ada lif, so yeah, gagah la tanya org arah jalan, tapi akhirnya terpaksa pulang awal disebabkan budak kecil telah mengantuk dan mengamuk utk pulang..

trying to be creative :) sempat singgah di Cheonggyecheon Stream

You Know What We Did In Seoul ..

Opppss..Yes, tetiba, feels like the title should be funny :)

Well, what we plan for our itinerary is probably only 70% of what we really did in Seoul. 

Memang tak sempat.

Itupun dah 7 malam, memang nasib tak pergi dgn tour agent..\

Memang sesuka hati tukar plan, Kalau dah penat, boleh tengok balik subway map dan ubah haluan.

Yang kelakar, nak pergi Lotte World, waktu pagi semangat..dah half day, rasa penat teramat terus cakap, tak apalah..kita ambil gambar je dekat luar..^_^, itu yang best nya buat tour sendiri..its tiring, but you will learn to adapt and really doing something because you really want it to be that way..dengan kata lebih senang puas hati sendiri ..haha

Us, one thing is taking picture but its actually nak duduk!! Penat !

Matta Fair Shopping List

Its become like a habit to go here to Matta Fair every year, not to buy anything, but just to get a little bit of idea or info of how the prices of the travel packages so far.

And funny I can guess which side of the travel agency will have their booth and even comparing their brochure every year that they made. Some have clearly put a lot of effort into their marketing. And there are couple of new travel agency too..with quite an unique name?? 

what's up with the name

Edit :Pengalaman juga di tahun 2010, beli tour di Matta Fair. Never believed all the things that the tour agent said. Especially about the Muslim Tour. Just because he/she is a muslim, the tour is not automatic become a Muslim Tour.Sakit hati sampai sekarang /:

Books and brochures

Hati terasa nak melawat Turkey dan Eropah..mampukah ^_^

Seoul and the Subway

For some reasons I think the 1st thing to write about Seoul is the subway...its not that complicated like the one in Japan, I think.. but at last I managed to understand the bits and pieces, how not to get lost in the subway..so here it goes.

• Make sure you have the latest map.  This is so important. I'm not sure how much updated the subway system in Seoul, but we did compare, and it just to make sure you are stopping at nearest station to the places you intend to go.
• Make sure you understand the map..it will take sometime, but just go with the color or in some of the map they will have a number code~whether it is Line1, Line 2 etc
• Credit enough money in T-Money, so you don't feel embarrassed the gate did not open ^_^ (By the way the T-Money can be use in the bus and some of the taxi too-so convenient!)
• Make sure you give way to other people to pass if you walk in a group or kind of walk a bit slow ..same as in KL, stay at the right side (if I'm not mistaken) of the escalator so other people can walk through..(although sometimes ppl in KL forgot abt this, which kind of annoying thing to me too..sobs)
• The most important thing is~KNOW WHICH EXIT TO GO!! lol..yeah, this happen to us, unless you really know all about the subway, just make sure you know which exit to go, or else be brave enough to go 180' degrees to arrived at the place you wanted  to go..

what happens to our map at the end of our trip ^_^

i really like this escalator a lot!! teruja hehe..feels like in airport!

and quite important too, never ever sit in the subway train, in the place assigned for old/disabled/pregnant lady etc..or else be prepared to be 'sergah' by the ahjumma or ahjussi there..hehs, this was never happens to us, but yeah we get this from someone's advise and from our observations, this happens..

I Miss You Party

Date:2nd March 2013
Place:Paper+Toast, Jln Nagasari KL

It was really last minute decision, or really live or die decision..the party was held in the evening, where as our flight to Seoul is at night..there were thoughts whether we have enough time to go back and do our last minute packing and so forth..
But since the organizer is someone that we knew, it was really hard to say no to the invitation :)

So yeah..here is some of the pictures..but there is more gorgeous pictures at Postcard to Yuchun FB/sites..

 (the little girl is super cute)

and yes, we were asked to do some promo for the show and TV9, but not sure whether they will air it or not..but yeah sempat la merasa buat iklan 1 minit...looks easy, but even for us, takes too many NG ;)

Door gift^_^ & lucky draw present

Yumssss

Jet Lagged and the Reality of life

Haven't update the blog for long time!!

Dari belum ke korea, sampai dah balik Malaysia, masuk bekerja semula..I've been lazy :(

Maybe I will just randomly write something..and I should stop thinking it by way of the order of the date ^_^...

Just for the record, my trip to Korea was probably the 1st one I took so many pictures...and just by my camera I have 1000++ pictures ..enough to blog about 1 whole year i guess..hehs..

This one of the Chocolate that I bought in Lotte Mart! Terkenang cerita kelakar kami..beli segala letak dlm trolley sampai tak teringat kami bukannya di Malaysia..mmg menangis angkat brg berkotak2 naik teksi sampai hotel..nasib baik ada exercise buat body pump..kalau tidak memang dah patah tangan angkat semua sekali .. for the record, we bought boxes and boxes of banana milk and kimchi to bring back to malaysia..sampai ada orang malaysia yg kami jumpa di luar lotte mart bertanya sedap sangat ke sampai beli berkotak2 bagai ^_^
