Is everyone having a great day ? Well, I am ! Just sitting here and thinking about what I want to do, see and hear in KOREA is enough to make me smile !!

I think I look a little bit weird. Smiling while staring at my laptop screen. *shurgs*

Don't miss out on this golden oppurtunity ! Cause I'm not letting this slip by either ! I'm participating :D Read on for my blog entry ^~^

WARNING : It's long !


So, the topic was "Things I want to do, see and hear in Korea". And they told us to pick only ONE out of these three. My first thought was, HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE ? I want to use all my five senses if I ever get to go to Korea. But I decided, there's more things that I want to see in Korea. The more I see, the more I get inspired to draw and take pictures. If you haven't followed my picture blog or art blog, check it out now ! Nat-Arts and They Speak For Themselves.

1.  I want to see Korean Stars and Idols.

This is a must!! It was my first exposure to the Korean culture. I still remember the first Korean drama I watched. It was Full House starring Rain !! And since last year, I've been really into KPOP. It's almost 90% of the songs I listen to. I would really want to see the stars up close in person, since being an international fan the closest I can get to them is either in my dreams or across the laptop and tv screen. If I could meet them *~~~* I'll be more than just happy !!



2. I want to see all of Korea from N Seoul Tower !!
I LOVE TAKING PICTURES. OF EVERYTHING. Check out my picture blog to get what I mean :) Just seeing ain't enough. I need a picture as a proof I saw what I saw ! I'm certain Korea has lots of wonderful and spectacular sceneries to offer.


They say that the view from the N Seoul Tower is really panoramic and dynamic. Like how Malaysia has KLCC, Korea has N Seoul Tower. Imagine the view from up there ! I want to be able to see how Korea looks like from that height !! And there's also the lovers lock there ! If I ever have a boyfriend, I'd place a lock there too ;)



3. I want to see the Han River !


I want to see the Han River ! I want to ride the water taxi too, and enjoy the waterscape. I've always imagined myself jogging by the river..... If I could go there... I wanna run and feel the breeze and just be surrounded by the blue colour ~~~



4. I want to see the beautiful scenery !!


And not to forget the view when hiking the Seoraksan National Park!!  I am pretty much a nature person, so I'd really like to see how beautiful nature is in Korea. I went hiking and jungle trekking alot so I'd really like to see more. Besides, Korea has 4 seasons and I WANT TO SEE TREES IN FALL ! The combination of yellow , orange and red is sure to be breathtaking !!



5. I want to see the farms and hotsprings !!


And then there's the hot springs, and farms. Honestly, I've never been to a farm before. That's probably why I want to see one. And as for hot springs, when I first went to one it was so hot I only managed to get my legs in ! 



6. I want to see the Harubang at Jeju Island !!


I want to see the harubang at Jeju Island as well ! And the rock formations. It's not something I can just find in Malaysia, it's only at Jeju Island !! It's a must to see that!!



7. I want to see Korean festivals and folk villages !!


And I want to experience a Korean festival !! I really like the Korean culture. It's so mesmerizing and unique. The culture there is rich. Maybe a trip to a folk village or something ? I'm dying to see everything in Korea !!! I just want to see all of this WITH MY OWN EYES. There's just so many things I want to see. I can't imagine listing them down here.



8. I want to see the SHOPPING MARKETS AND DISTRICTS.


After all, I am a girl. And girls love shopping !! I've always been into Japanese and Korean fashion.

I want to see Namdaemun, Dongdaemun, Myeongdon, Gwangjang and Insadong.

 Be it shopping for souveniors or clothes or kpop albums.... whichever form of shopping it may be... i want to see the shopping districts in Korea !!

Not just seeing... but obviously I will do some serious shopping there if I get the chance to go.











9. I want to see Gyeongbokgung.


It's the royal palace of Korea's last dynasty, the Joseon. Ever since I went to China, I realized I like history alot. I'm easily fascinated by the remaining monuments left by the people hundreds or thousand years ago. I'd like to see this too.  Seeing this picture makes me remember the drama "Jewel in the Palace". How many of you watched it ? I want to see how a real Korean palace looks like. And the traditional attire too. How many of you besides me wants to see me in a hanbok ? HAHAHA, I really think a hanbok looks nice :)

SNSD in hanbok !!

10. I want to see how Korean food is made !!


I've always wanted to taste Korean food. There are Korean restaurants and diners in Malaysia but to taste the best of the food, it's better to go to it's origin right ? And I want to see how they make Korean food ! So I can come back to Malaysia and make Korean food to satisfy my tummy :) Looking at all these pictures of food just makes me hungry !!


11. I want to see the rail bike !!


I saw this on a Korean show. It really caught my attention !! Imagine just sitting there and looking at the view ! Gosh. I'd probably be clicking the shutter on my camera nonstop just to get a great picture.

I felt so bored today. My sister and I were just..... really bored ! I spent the earlier half of the day blogging. And until now, that blogpost is still not done yet ! Please anticipate it :) So for now, I'll share with you the things I did today. It's boring, to be honest. HAHAHA. Oh my gosh !


We went to IOI mall today ! My mum was meeting up with her friends so we tagged along to walk around ;) I really miss the merry go rounds ! My favourite one is the one at Genting !! It has two floors and everytime it turns around... the only problem I'll face is.... WHERE TO SIT ? Does anyone have this sort of problem too ? Hahaha ! I feel like a small kid again :D


This eagle was really pretty :) I don't know how many of you know, but there was a period of time that I was really into eagles. I think I still am. Just not as much as I used to :/


We had a drink at Starbucks !! Finally ! After so long ! And there's finally a worker who can spell my name right ;) Thumbs up to you ! They usually just scribble it or replace my H with a Y. But really, the worker made my day !! Thank you :P




We went to Pets Wonderland too ! The white mice are my sister's friends :D They're all rats. LOL. There were tiny holes by the side and they kept putting their mouth there. Out of curiousity, I put my fingernail ! They really bite it ! LOL. But it didn't hurt. They're tiny, after all :D


Not to forget, SHOPPING. Please name me a girl (not a tomboy) who doesn't like shopping. There was this shop called "Effu". I have no idea to pronounce it. It's either F-U or YI FU like in chinese for clothes. HAHAHA. Okay, sorry ! TT I really liked the dress I wore above ! But seeing as how I won't be attending many events after I finish school..... Just a picture would be enough TT

Admit it. This post is boring right ? HAHAHAHA.

I can't believe it's my first selca in September !! HAHAHA omg.

Hi guys ! I'm back to blogging ! I'm done with all my trial papers except for accounts, which is next Friday. There's still time to study ~~~ Unlike most of the subjects this past week where there wasn't enough time at all. I'm already disappointed with English, I just can't believe I let that A fly away. Sigh.

Here's the fun part of this post ! ( or not ) I did a vocal cover of SHINee's Honesty. I really like this song ! And I did it to enter the MyKTQ contest. If you haven't already heard of it, check it out over here ->MyKTQ 2012 Contest The deadline is the 16th and I'm entering on the 15th. Will I have enough luck to get to the second round ? Wish me luck !! And if you want to join, hurry ! Don't miss your chance :D

Hello readers ! It's been awhile since my last update. I've been studying for trials recently, and I still am. There's two weeks left before it's over ! But I must say, I'm disappointed with myself. I didn't do my best in Sejarah and Physics this time. I feel so pressured for not living up to my mark standards. It's obviously going to experience a drop.

I've also been sleeping late these days. Burning the midnight oil they say.... My eyebags are becoming more obvious. And because it's continuing for days, I don't think there will be time for it to disappear :( The only thing right now that's cheering me up is MBLAQ !!!


My whole song playlist now is 80% MBLAQ songs. And I can't wait for their comeback in October ! The only thing that I'm living off now is Idol Manager and their past reality / variety shows like Idol Army and Sesame Player. Can't wait to see G.O in Phantom though... But first thing's first. I need to get trial over with. TT

Was anyone besides me watching MBLAQ on GURUPOP this morning ? It was a blast ! It's amazing how fast time pasts when you're doing something you like. Check out my review at gurupop here http://www.gurupop.net/mts/gurupop-show/ep5/?state=ViewPost&t_seq=6&b_seq=27924 !! Please and thank you ! ^~^ Since the best review gets an autographed album.... *mumblesmumbles* HEHEHEHEHE.

For those who couldn't catch it live, don't worry ! They'll be releasing VODS of the show soon ^~^ But in the meantime I think they're having a rerun at the site. Check it out over here http://www.gurupop.net/share/gurupop-show/ep5/67757275706f7032323237 Ahhh. I wonder who managed to get the polaroid pictures ?? There were so many fans spamming the real time comments... posting the same shit over and over again. HELLO. At least be like me, post different comments. Not your COPYPASTECOPYPASTE comments. Seriously.

I need to go study now. Take care guys !!
