day 7: already 1 week here!

time flies! it's already my 1st week in korea! i haven't been doing much but i'm falling in love with this city more and more everyday. although the people are rude (-__-) and the food makes me wanna shit all the time cos it's so damn spicy, i really like how.. nice it is here. maybe it's the weather..? i feel like koreans are a lot like singaporeans. very urgent and hot-tempered. teach you a new korean word okay?

급하다 (geup-ha-da): urgent
급한사람이에요 (geup-han-sa-ram-i-e-yo): an urgent/hot tempered person

lol fail attempt to type it like a professional but any way you get the word. so it doesn't feel like i'm far from home since people here are very much like us in their.. ways. just that they're a lot fairer, prettier, and they speak a total different language.

ONCE AGAIN i didn't do much today. haha well you can't expect me to be going out to shop or do stuff every day. school ends at 1pm for me by the time i'm back in the dorm to put down my textbooks it's already 1.30pm :( so it's laundry day today! we went to the laundry room again and dumped our clothes there. we also used the dryer for the first time today, MAGICAL MACHINE! i need to get a dryer next time in my room LOL.

i napped for an hour or so too. good day ^^;; (좋은날 ㅋㅋㅋ) and then we went out to Sinchon for.. dinner. are you sick of Sinchon? LOL COS I AM TOO but it's where we live at so it's convenient!

we didn't really have lunch? like i ate a packet of chocolate tidbits haha. We had 돼지고기김치찌개 (pork kimchi stew) for dinner and they serve us my favorite rice again~


pictures from yesterday at Baskin Robbins (Itaewon)!






we bought this.. pancake like thingy 3 for 2000won at the roadside stall! it taste nice! like there's some sweet bean paste inside. yum yum.


favorite rice!





the meal cost 15,000won. a little bit too pricey T__T we should have gone to kimbap cheonguk and eat something cheaper there.






for colleen!



Sinchon is a nice place :) lotsa food eateries. I haven't fully explore the entire place but.. more or less i think i've been to the area near my university already.

then we decided to walk back home for some exercise ^^ lol it took us like.. 40minutes? fml the slopes are insane.




학교 정문 (main gate). we are located at the... north gate. the direct opposite/extreme end!


lol so aunty with my bags and umbrella 


donuts from krispy kreme for breakfast! the original glazed cost 1200won here. my pistachio almond is 1300won and her blueberry cheesecake is 1300won too. a bit too pricey! in KL we only need to pay like 80cents or 1$sgd for the original glazed?




everyday we write diary as homework and we have to read it out loud in class each morning T___T 

okay going back to my shows now. want to sleep early.

we are going for Music bank tomorrow as a.. school? lol representing Singapore or something. i can't wait to see hoya T__T 

also. i /need/ to go to Music Core. for reasons i shall not say.

day 6: 계속 비

yesterday was so hot and today it turned super cold again because of the rain T__T the wind was SO strong! after class while we were outside waiting for the shuttle bus, Melissa's umbrella broke. like the cloth part entirely came off the wire LOL i wanted to take a picture but under the weather conditions then i couldn't even protect myself.

didn't do much today AGAIN. i don't know my classmates seem to be going out everyday, shopping and having fun and i'm just like.... nearby or at home? i haven't even been to myeongdong and dongdaemun. actually i have, i had supper at dongdaemun today?

as usual fell asleep in class! we met our buddy at 12pm and i got a male buddy. his name is Haerang. i don't know if i should call him Haerang oppa? Nvm not important. we talked a bit to arrange the day and time to meet next week and it was so tough -__- his english isn't too good and my korean kinda sucks! i think we should be meeting together with yuting and her gucci unnie LOL. we wanna go petite france together! of course not with the rain. the rain makes me feel like hiding in my dorm all the time.

after class the 3 of us went to Sinchon area and had bibimbap. we wanted stew but in the rain we couldn't find the place where yuting and i had the tofu stew. the bibimbap ahjumma's from china so we spoke a lil chinese to her.


bibimbap for 6000won. i found it a little bit pricey? even kimbap cheonguk's hotstone bibimbap is cheaper. they put the veggie in a huge metal bowl and they give you the rice separately so u pour it in yourself along with the red pepper paste and mix! the ahjumeoni kinda helped me a little hehe.

after that we headed to itaewon in the rain -_-


and had ice cream at Baskin Robbins!


their ice cream cakes are SO PRETTY! i'd buy the tokki one for onew's birthday. HAHAHAHA. any way idon't know why she allowed me to take pics of the entire shop including the tubs of ice cream. and i was taking pics of the ice cream cake too and she saw me. only when i was at the last shot (which is this tokki cake) she said "no picture! please!" in broken kongrish. rude!? ok koreans tend to be more rude than they are gentle/nice. but really..? she was literally screaming at me.


each regular cup is 2,500won!! so cheap! i had pistachio almond, mel had mango and yt had choco caramel.







look, dark skies all the time -__- although i prefer this to the sun, it's rly troublesome to go out in this weather!


Itaewon has all the american/western brands. i saw a really nice pair of adidas sneakers in maroon at 98,000won (sales) and a super qt converse bagpack at 59,000won. I WANT THEM!!!!



then at about 5 we decided we're too tired to walk or do anything so we headed back to subway station and i went off alone to Edae to meet Su and her friends, Cass and Bel (i hope i got their names right T_T) we took a cab into KLI and picked Gillian up. Ok technically we didn't bc we had to get off the 1st cab cuz ahjusshi wants to eat dinner -__- then we went to ddukseom for the recording. we waited for 2hours? and then realize nobody's there. finally someone activated data roaming and checked the fan cafe and realized it's canceled -__-



this is near the Hangang Park! The station name is 뚝섬유원지 (dduk-seom-yu-won-ji) it's kinda far away from our schools (Yonsei/SKK). NVM we left for dongdaemun and had dinner/supper at 김밥천국 (kimbap cheonguk) again!




this was mine! Ra-bbokgi. Ramen with ddokbogi. so friggen spicy.



because it was too late so we took a cab back into school. dropped Gillian off at SK Global House nearby and i came back here alone. It's scary to be alone in a unfamiliar city but i made it back in one piece!

very very tired now. staying in tomorrow for laundry and etc yay! gonna watch my anime and running man.
