Korea Day 1- Hongdae

Once we exited the gate, we headed straight to the information counter to grab the railway map and brochures. We were told by some friends that it is important to get the brochures for some tourist destinations in order to get tickets at discounted price (same goes to jeju. grab the brochures once you arrive at jeju airport). After which, we went to get T mobile card (3,000 won) from the 7-11 convenience store near the Incheon Airport metro station (note: it cant be bought from the counter at incheon airport station). T mobile card...

Korea Day 0. Transiting at HK airport

8:42am Transiting at HK airport now. We had a light meal at 翠萍餐厅 after getting off the plane. Food varieties are limited at the departure area. I just settled with anything that looks more appetizing to me (Tom Yum Kung). The noodles tastes surprising good! It is soft and QQ at the same time. The prawns were fresh and crispy toooo. I felt so deprived of seafood though I just had BBQ sambel stingray for my dinner last night. I want to eat pots of mussels in Korea! Hope I can find it at busan or jeju. *Slurps* I think T and G are...

終わります。

17th May 2013 Poster day. It marks the end of my university life. Even though I did not accomplish much for my FYP ( I chose an awareness campaign project rather than a lab-based project), I still felt a sense of achievement when I submitted my thesis and completed my poster presentation. On the whole, I had my fair share of fun and hard work in NTU which was evident from each sem's results. I'm glad that I pulled through it though the course I enrolled in was neither my interest nor my first choice. At least I attempted research...

3 days to 한국에 오신 것을 환영합니다 (welcome to korea) !

Hello Hello! Me is so super excited for Korea! My flight will be on 18th May 2013, 1:15am. And my poster day is on 17th May 2013. So everything will pass like a whirlwind and before I even realise it, I will be in the land of kimchi! Met with my travel mates, G and T, today for a brief trip planning for the first 3 days. I was so high that I kept going non-stop about what I found out about Korea. It is a bad habit of mine that I find it is so hard to kick. When I get too hyped up about a topic, I will forget to quieten down and listen...

Happy Mother's Day!

Today was just like any usual Sunday where everyone is lazing around in the house. My sis and my brother-in-law were taiwan-bound since yesterday for a final holiday before my sis ends her maternity leave thus we had a family dinner last weekend to 'celebrate' in advance. Inverted commas cause there wasn't anything out of the ordinary that day; no cake, nothing fanciful. We had dinner at a zi char stall near our house; the zi char stall where we go to on typical weekend dinners. Maybe the only thing that made it seem like an occasion...

Chill when you can.

I think from now till the day I start work, I should go ahead and do all the things I wanna do, go to all places I wanna go. For instance, I have been wanting to visit sentosa, marine life park, aquarium, river safari, all the cafes, and many many more. But I guess all these can only be accomplished when I am back from my korea trip on 4th June. I really need to get down to planning for korea trip, pack my luggage and settle accomodation for vietnam too! So many things on mind but I'm glad that at least I'm done with my poster design,...

Just have to keep trying.

So.... yesterday I failed my practical driving test. To be frank, I somehow expected it. The night before the test, I felt exactly the same as I did the night before my Plant Biology paper in Yr 3 Sem 1. I cried so badly in the wee hours before the morning paper cause I didnt't feel confident about it at all, like I was not even sure if I am able to pass the paper. In the end, I paid 50$ to visit a doctor to get mc for the paper the next day. I attempted the paper a year later and scored a B+ for it! I know it's not that a super fantastic...
