Korea 2018 D3 (Gangnam Underground Shopping - Dongdaemun)

-
Today's plan is actually Nami island but all of us failed to get up early. We slept until 9am++ bc everyone was tired. We had local Korean food as brunch at a random place near our airbnb.


Kimchi noodles



Enosh and my parents visited a cat cafe just around while waiting for me to get my Tmoney card from airbnb bc I left it on the table before leaving.

Came back and saw my parents standing outside bc they didn't get any drinks so they weren't allowed to sit inside hahaha.


Here are some pics of the cafe interior.


It's a cat cafe so there were cats, of course.



Today we shopped at Gangnam underground shopping centre. Enosh bought a pair of shoes since his shoes were causing blister. I bought 4 pairs of earrings because they're so cheap, only 1,000 won for each pair. It's a steal! The price is usually RM40++ in Lovisa for the similar pattern. I regret for not getting more!

Coffee for today
CK got juices for the parents
Then we went to Cheongnyangnyi to buy tics to nami island for the other day. It's a long journey there I'd say.
Purchasing our tics
We headed to Dongdaemun after that.

Stopping by a random store
We bought some snacks but I don't like it that much.
They had a variety of local snacks
Some pao to fill the stomach while looking for dinner place
We had dinner at two two chicken. We ordered original fried chicken, spicy fried chicken and garlic fried chicken which somehow tasted like wasabi lemon chicken... I wondered whether we ordered the wrong one.

Not forgetting to get some coffee for the next day
Mom was feeling unwell so we didn't manage to do sight-seeing in dongdaemun. We went back to airbnb right after dinner then my bros and I walked around hongdae. Hongdae was so lively even though it's late at night bc it's an university area so many college students hang out here. There're street performances as well like kpop singing and dancing.

I'm so glad with the decision I made to stay in Hongdae bc it's not too bustling like myeongdong. It's quiet at the area we stay but just within walking distance you can experience the liveliness of the street. There're many street performances so you can spot crowds easily.

Lollipop Cafe

3 more days to my final exam!! Can't wait to get this over so I can go back to hometown to eat good foooood. Elaine, Jowen, and many other of my secondary school classmates had their trip to Kundasang yesterday, but I'm stuck here facing books. How I wish I could be there with them, the last time 4 of us actually meet was during March last year, it's been more than a year. But I did meet them separately in KL and KK, just that 4 of us didn't meet together. Okay back to the main topic. I wanna share about my breakfast at Lollipop Cafe yesterday with Joshua. This was our first date since the day we're official, a breakfast date. Not really a date, just that I begged him to bring me out for breakfast yeah that's it. It's located near  Overstepped Cafe  which was quite far away from my campus, near the Sungai Petani selatan toll exit. When we arrived it's around 7am so there're many seats. Around 8am people started coming and most of them order

Little Thoughts before mid sem test

-
I'm actually writing this in physics lecture class lol. It's gonna be a busy day for me today because I have a lot of tasks to be done. I actually have an undone chemistry folio which I'm supposed to hand in on Friday, maths assignment which I have to hand in tomorrow, bio tutorial which we will be discussing tomorrow, not to mention the revisions that I've to do for the mid sem test next week. I also haven't started doing the maths tutorial which will be discussed later at 2pm. The reason behind all these undone tasks is because I went out with friends last night. If I didn't go out then I might be able to finish at least chemistry folio and maths assingment, and maybe maths tutorial as well. In case you ask me do I regret going out last night, the ans is 'No.' Of course studies are more important than hanging out with friends but I don't think the price of having fun is that I will be left behind. Even if I'm left behind, I will try to incr

Overstepped Cafe

After hours of non-stop writing, finally I've done my Biology lab report and have some time to blog about the cafe I went with my friend (Joshua) yesterday. What's better than having a friend to ask you out when you're craving for good food? Haha so yesterday I went to Overstepped Cafe which is located quite far away from my campus, about 15km away. This cafe is located near the toll station but I can tell this cafe has its reputation here despite its not-strategic-location which is away from town. Why? Because the moment we got into the cafe, what welcomed us was the noise of people chit chatting. For a second I thought I was in a kopitiam rather than a cafe because it was really noisy inside. It was around 2.30pm when we reached but many tables were occupied even though it's not lunch hour. Fortunately, we managed to be seated at a table for 2. I ordered Fat Elvis , which is beef burger with grilled banana with the spread of peanut butter. For drinks, I got mysel
