Found outside the restrooms at Miasemgori subway station, Seoul.
The good trusty vending machine. It has pads (first and second row), mouth rinse (second row), tissue paper (first and second row), condoms (third row), chewing gum (beside the condoms on the third row lol) and sweets (on the last row). I bought that packet of kleenex next to the mouth rinse. Best packet of tissue paper I’ve ever bought. (:

I’m not a big fan but no harm going down to Changi Airport to catch a glimpse of them right?
Haha I can’t wait in less than 3 hours they will be HERE!
Will be leaving in a few minutes.
Still deciding if I should drive there or not.
I’m afraid I’ll lose my way and I’ll end up somewhere other than Changi Airport.
Sigh…
Oh and parking.
OHMYTIAN!
UPDATE!
I’M BACK!!!! I didn’t get any good pictures. ):
There was at least 200(?) fans/people there. It was crazy.
My best shot…
I know horrible right. But I couldn’t use flash as there was a glass in between them and me so…
I think Hongki is the one right in front, followed by Seung Hyun, Jaejin, Jonghun and Minhwan.
It’s so sad that they wore masks. ):
They are TALL, really tall! Haha.
I arrived at 920PM and there was already loads of people there. Then I don’t know who decided to start screaming so almost every 10 minutes the whole crowd will start screaming but none of the boys were coming out yet. It was retarded. They finally came out at about 10ish. HOT STUFF! Haha.
Now I feel like going to their showcase but $100 to watch them…
Eeks!
After waiting so long Chris and I decided to take the train home and stop by Macdonalds for supper. Then after that we took a 1/2 hour walk home while singing and dancing to random songs. Haha
I’m so tired now. Got work tomorrow.
):
creds to minofied
OMO SHE IS SOOOOOOOOO LUCKY! She was so close to the boys! LOL at Hongki’s laugh. In future I need to know if ever Big Bang is coming and plan a trip to make sure I arrive in Singapore on the same day so I can see them inside the airport.
Near Ehwa Women’s University. The shopping there is AWESOME! Bought a few shirts at 3900WON each. The university was HUGE! At least it looked huge from the outside. Hehe.
Namdaemun.
FOREVER 21!!!! OMGosh I can like spend my whole day in there. It’s 3 stories high and there is a huge fitting room at the basement.
SHINee! <3 JULIETTE OH!
WONDER GIRLS!
The Big Bang poster I bought at Namdaemun and Christina’s new dunks that she bought at Myeong Dong for 25000WON.
COEX food court.
Cutest crocs ever. Scooby dooby doo.
I love their carpark system in Korea. There is an alarm (on the left) that sounds when a car is exiting. It warns pedestrains that a car is coming.
Yes it’s a bar of soap. I wouldn’t say it is very hygienic but it serves its purpose.
A gargle dispenser in the toliet at Hyundai Department Store.
The latest fashion in Korea. I’ve seen ladies dressed to their nines in chiffon tops and beautiful skirts and then they wear this kind of slippers with socks. UGLY! It seems like everyone in Korea owns a pair. I’ve seen it soooo many times and they always wear it with socks. Saw this selling at E-mart for 4900WON. Anyone wants a pair?
Hotel Victoria. The hotel that I stayed at.
The view from my hotel room window. Circled are churches. At night the crosses become red in colour and it’s a really beautiful sight.
And last but not least, the infamous E MART!!!! I love this place. It’s a 5 or 6 (can’t remember) story supermarket that is just opposite the road from the hotel I stayed at. Love this place. The place where I bought my lovely BANANA MILK (which I currently craving like crazy).
ㅋㅋ!~
OMGOSH! CRAPS! I’m watching Taec’s Scandal right now and I’m pissed! Darn 2PM was at Lotte World on the 13th and I was so near! URGH! I was at COEX just a few stops away! ): And that day the kids wanted to go back to Lotte World. I should have said yes then I would have seen 2PM! ): Sigh…
Just a few other pictures…
LOTTE WORLD! The view of the indoor amusement park from the “hot air” balloon ride. Somehow I felt this was the scariest ride in the whole amusement park. Weird I know. Even the Gyro drop was not as scary. It was funny because the four of us were screaming when the balloon was being raised to the ceiling as well as when it descended. Lotte World was pretty okay. We went on a Wednesday so it wasn’t very crowded. We hardly had to queue to take the rides. My favorite ride had to be the roller coaster that was outside. It was super fast! Best roller coaster I’ve ever sat on! (:
The ice skating rink at Lotte World.
I just found this toliet rather amusing so I took a picture of it. It was in a shopping center at Namdaemun. Notice the sign, it’s for both sexes. It’s like a normal toliet with about 3 cubicles and a sink area. I saw both men and women enter and exit. Didn’t go in but my mum did. She entered and exited immediately. Lolx.
There was a dancing competition held at the stage outside Hello Amp! at Dongdaemun. Don’t judge a book by it’s cover. This girl was the winner. She rocked! She had to dance to a few songs including Again & Again by 2PM, Fire by 2NE1, Saturday Night by SDB and a few others. She is my inspiration! (:
Sitting on a bench en-route to Myeongdong.
Deoksugung Palace…wanted to see the changing of guards ceremony but it was canceled on that day due to some activities happening.
Found this cool place on the second last day in Korea. It was down the road from the hotel. We just had to pay and entrance fee and then we were allowed to play for 2 hours. We could sing karaoke, play pool, use the computers, play PS3, play table tennis, play batting in the batting cage, read comics, sit on massage chairs and play at the arcade! We only paid like 6500WON per person for two hours. Super worth it cause the noraebang down the road costs 6000 WON per person for an hour.
Noraebang! Yes Korean words and we couldn’t read a single word. Thank God for awesome memorizing skills. There were English songs too so we sang for about forty minutes or so.
Playing pool.
Christina in the batting cage.
Noraebang rooms on the right. There was this guy who was singing extremely out of tune and since the walls weren’t exactly sound proof we could hear him. It was hilarious.
COMPUTERS! (: INTERNET! <3
BIG BANG! NII @ Hyundai Department Store.
Mum & me @ T3 before getting on the plane bound for Shanghai.
Peace! (:
Heart wrenching.
Some of the food I ate in Korea. Weirdly I seem to have eaten more Japanese food than Korean food.
Bought this on the streets of Namdaemun. It tasted like roti prata with tang hoon in it.
One of my favorites! Chicken Teriyaki Udon @ Myeongdong. I went back a second time to eat this! (:
Bulgogi Omurice @ COEX food court.
Some sort of Tofu Soup @ COEX food court. The drink selection at COEX food court was rather pathetic. Maybe because every store there gave a cup to everyone and water is refillable. After the meal one has to bring the whole tray back to it’s respective store.
Unagi & Udon set meal @ a Japanese restaurant near the hotel. (One of the only restaurants near the hotel that had menus with pictures.
Dunkin Donuts down the road from the hotel.
Curry Tonkatsu @ E-mart’s food court.
Udon & Fried Chicken Cutlet @ E-mart’s food court.
Samgyetang @ Korean restaurant at Hyundai Department Store near the hotel.
Bulgogi! This was YUMS! Spicy but YUMS!
My favorite drinks in Korea! Banana milk (SNSD did a commercial for this) and apple juice! The apple juice is mad cheap! 990won for 4!
My camera died so I can’t upload the rest of the pictures at the moment. So for now this two pics will have to do…
Food was quite an issue during this trip. I had quite a hard time ordering food since many restuarants did not have English menus. Luckily, this restaurant that we went to on the first day in Dongdaemun had English words on them as well as pictures! (:
CHARMS! (: Sure! We should totally plan a trip but I’m not sure what’s my schedule for next year yet…but if I’m free and tickets are cheap we should totally go! About the meet up I’ll let you know again when everything is confirmed. (: Gotta wait for Jasmine to come back from the US to plan.
