Korea Trip - Seoul Day 6 (03 April 12)

Sorry for the long wait for the Day 6 post..
I'm really busy for the past few weeks and I was back from my 2nd Seoul Trip last weekend for Super Show 4 Encore.. Shall update about the SS4 Encore trip soon!

Continue with my previous Korea Trip in Apr..
03 April was the day I'm always waiting forward to before my Korea Trip.. Cause its the day I'm going to my Kyuhyun's musical "Catch Me If You Can"!

We start off our day with yummy Korean porridge..
There's a famous porridge restaurant in Myeongdong, must try when you happen to be there..

Ohh.. And its the first time we saw snow while we having our breakfast!! At first we thought what was the white thing that fall from the sky.. It can't be snow right?? Its April, how can there's snow! A few of us insist its the dirt from the building.. We quickly rush down and check out what is it.. And its really snow!!!

We were damn excited! And took a few pictures in the snow~

After breakfast, we headed to the traditional street at Insadong.. 

Had tea tasting and green tea cake at one the Tea Shop in Insadong.. Beautiful Traditional Streets..

I can't remembered the Tea Shop name correctly, if I'm not wrong, it has the name Jeju on it..

The Green Tea Cheesecake is super yummy!! If you happend to be there must try!!

After tea and cakes, we walked around Insadong streets and admire the beautiful scenery..
And head to Changdeokgung Palace for photo taking!

We didn't manage to finish touring the whole Palace.. Its was rather big and the weather was too cold for us to stay outdoor.. We keep on hiding in the small hut while touring around..

Since the structures look almost the same we decided to change our destination to nearby Unhyeongung Royal Residence for our Hanbok Costumes experience!

Hanbok Costumes rental is not expensive, if I'm not wrong the rental per costume is around 3,300 won..

And we can take pictures with the hanbok indoor and outdoor :D

How to go Changdeokgung Palace:

Anguk Station (Subway Line 3), Exit 3

Go straight for 5 mins

Finally, my long wait to the musical is here!

Previously, I had blogged my experience. So i shall not elaborate more in this post...

Ended my Day 6 with a wonderful experience of Kyuhyun "Catch Me If You Can" Musical..
I had a serious withdrawal syndrome afterwards.. Keep on wanting to go back and watch again~

This video is Kyuhyun's  last "Catch Me If You Can" performance on 29 May 12.. Too bad, I wasn't there..

Korean Drama Addiction

I'm very picky in drama and I will get sick of the drama if the story line move too slow or too boring!
So far these are the few Korean dramas I managed to complete all the episodes..
1. You're Beautiful
2. Baker King
3. City Hunter
Yes only 3 Korean Dramas.. I'm a very impatient kind of person.. If the drama couldn't catch my attention, I won't sit back and complete the whole drama..
Even the highly raved drama Secret Garden I didn't watch the full episodes it wasn't my liking..
Stopped halfway..


Recently there's a few new Korean dramas being released.. And caught my attention..


Love Rain 사랑비 acted by Jang Geun Suk & Yoona (SNSD) & The King 2 Hearts 더킹2Hearts acted by Lee Seung Gi & Ha Ji Won
I watched both drama and I stopped, only watched the first few episodes..
Love Rain Story move too slow for person like me so impatient, I can't sit down and watch the whole drama.. So I didn't continue after my 2nd episode.
The King 2 Hearts first episode is quite interesting though but after the 3rd episode I being to feel bored..I have no interest to continue..
Its my personal opinion... I don't want to be spoiler and reveal the story line here.. If you all interested may go PPS to watch the Drama or read up in Wiki..


The next 2 Dramas, I'm going to HIGHLY RECOMMEND to my readers!
1. Fashion King 패션왕 acted by Yoo Ah-in, Shin Se-kyung, Kwon Yuri (SNSD) & Lee Je-Hoon

I've been catching every episodes every week! Never fail to watch each episode..
When I take train everyday I can see peoples' ipad and phone are playing Fashion King too! 
I love Lee Je-Hoon instead of the main male lead Yoo Ah-in.. I think he's cuter!
Lots of nice clothes in the drama!! 
Do go and catch the drama I'm sure you will like it! Lots of eye candies for guys and gals!!




2. Rooftop Prince 옥탑방 왕세자 acted by Micky Yoochun (JYJ) & Han Ji-min

This drama makes me stay at home over the weekend and watched 18 episodes in 2 days!!!
Totally addicted to this drama.. Micky in this drama really attractive!!! I being to love him more! Starting of the show can be really hilarious and slowly the story goes by, it can be mysterious & exciting, 
I love this drama a lot! I can say its better than Fashion King..
If you don't have time for Drama I would say you can go for Rooftop Prince first then Fashion King..


Both Fashion King & Rooftop Prince will air their last 2 episodes.. I can't wait to watch both!
Both Drama can be found in PPS too! :D

McDonald’s brings you Mango Pineapple and Strawberry Banana Smoothies

Have you tried the below combination of smoothies?

or

What will be the taste like?? Strawberry + Banana and Pineapple + Mango!

Mcdonald's had recently released 2 new smoothies!

Mango Pineapple and Strawberry Banana Smoothies!!!

Freshly blended and made with real fruits and yoghurt..

These icy, refreshing smoothies are perfect to chill on a sunny afternoon or if you are craving for some fruity goodness.

Thanks Mcdonald's and omy.sg, I'm able to enjoy the 2 smoothies...

After I tried it.. I would say I love the Mango Pineapple smoothies more! 

I'm a more of pineapple person compared to banana and strawberry.. 

I love pineapple juice a lot.. Pineapple with the mango 果香 Fruity Smell~ 

Omo! It taste like heaven! 

Strawberry + Banana is a very special combination...

I feel that the Banana taste is stronger than strawberry, but you still can taste a bit of sourish strawberry in the smoothie..

If you are a strawberry or banana person, this will be the right choice for you...

Both smoothies gives you a very refreshing taste! 

Especially these few days the weather in Singapore is super HOT, the smoothies will be the best choice of all beverages!

These wholesome choices are part of McDonald’s permanent beverage offerings and are available at $3.45 (12oz) and $3.95 (16oz), at all McDonald’s restaurants. 

So what are you waiting for? Quickly grab a cup from any McDonald’s restaurants now!

Once again, Thanks McDonald’s & omy.sg for the invites :D

Korea Trip - Seoul Day 5 (02 April 12)

I'm back to continue updating about my Korea Trip...
Have been really busy busy last 2 weeks! For the past 2 weekends I didn't rest at all! I need to work hard & earn more for my next short Korea trip on 26 - 28 May! SS4 Encore in Seoul! Super excited! I can't wait to be there again!

Back to the topic! Day 5 of my trip, we headed to Lotte World!! We are pretty excited about the theme park!
But when we reached there we were super disappointed! T.T Its not as big as we expected! We should have go Everland! Lotte World rides are kind of old and limited~ I would say our Singapore Universal Studio is much more better than Lotte World..
I didn't really play much rides in Lotte World, I only managed to play their indoor roller coaster, wave rides and pirate ship! Oh ya their 3D haunted house is lousy to the max!
Well, I would say I prefer SG USS rides~
So if you guys want to go theme park in Korea, you may wish to go Everland instead..

We left Lotte World around 3pm+ had our late lunch at Pizza Hut there and head to the Cafe Aritaum to see the beautiful scenery of Han River... But the weather was not good! It was raining the whole late afternoon till late night.. When we reach the subway station we don't really know where is the actual location. We asked a few of their locals they drew a map for us, we walked round and round we still couldn't find Cafe Aritaum.. One of the local even direct us to the wrong outlet.. T.T It was raining, the weather was like super wet and cold! We got to carry the umbrella walked round and round the same area for around 1 hour plus we still couldn't find the Cafe.. In the end, we gave up and took a cab there.. The cab driver told us the Cafe is just up on the expressway! We can reach there by walking for like 3 minutes! But we gave up, due to the super cold weather, we requested the cab driver to drive us there even though it will be a longer route for car to reach there.. We split up into 2 cabs, our cab managed to bring us there but another cab didn't know the way.
So I got the helpful staff in the Cafe to speak to the cab driver and direct him there.. Thank God, all of us safely reach the Cafe and enjoy the coffee and cakes..
Its really hard to communicate with the Koreans especially they don't understand English and we don't understand Korean.. For them to direct us the way, was like a chicken and duck talking to each other..

Due to the rainy weather, the laser lights of Han River wasn't operate.. Its kind of disappointment..

After rested for around 1 hour in the Cafe, I would need to rush down to KBS Building for Super Junior Kiss The Radio "Sukira" recording..
We got to split our way too cause some of my friends are not interested with SJ.. So we splited into 2 groups.. 1 to Dongdaemun shopping another group followed me to KBS Building for KTR..
That week only 02 April 12 (Monday) has Bora, its wasn't in my plan to go KTR recording on that day.. But they need to head to Paris SS4 earlier so they only can have Bora on Monday..
Lucky Lotte World ended early and I could make a trip down for the recording...
When I reached there around 10.30pm outside was around crowded by ELF. Most of the ELF were from overseas, Japanese, Chinese, Arab etc..
I'm lucky to have my friends around, they helped me by taking pictures with their semi-pro camera and 1 of my friend even took a stool for me to stand on it so I could have a better view of Ryeowook and Sungmin!
You may read up my previous post about my experience to KTR recording :)
120402 - Kiss The Radio (Sukira) Bora

I didn't managed to watch finish the whole recording, watched for around 1 hour, we headed to nearby fried chicken store for our late dinner!
Thanks my friends who accompanied me to KBS for KTR recording even though the weather was bad, you know who you are :)

Next up! Hanbok experiences + "Catch Me If You Can" Musical :D

Pictures All Disappeared!

All my pictures in my blog disappeared!! I got to slowly re-upload 1 by 1.. T.T
Please give me some time to re-upload..

Recently I just got a Galaxy Pink Note..
I didn't know my note gallery actually auto sync my picasa web album to the phone!
Obviously I do not want so many picture in my phone so I deleted all the albums in my phone..
When it deleted from my phone it also deleted from the web!!!!!!!!!!
All my pictures DISAPPEARED!

That's the reason why all my pictures in my blog disappeared!
I only managed to re-upload most of the recent and popular posts..
The rest I don't think I going to re-upload it unless I have the time...

A lot of my sponsored blog pictures are lost too! I didn't keep a copy cause my laptop hard disk crashed in Jan.. I couldn't find it at all..

I'm super sad :(
