My colleague asked me, why I didn't update anymore....so here I am...butta...nothing to talk about..so I asked my chingu..this was what she said:-

Carrine : Syee asked me about my blog..I didn't update for 3 months d...so here I am in my blog..
but I got nothing to talk about..

Chingu : Talk about our korea mission

Korea..mission?????? YEPPPPPP...we both plan to go to Korea this year..end of this year when it's freezing cold there. WOOT!

So far, well...we didn't plan much yet... ㅠ_ㅠ I got a beanie...or should I say earflap beanie and a luggage bag...but that's about it...haih...

My brother is going to China next week, so I asked him to get me another ear muffler.lob...

Matta fair is next week ,so we're going there to check things out..but first of all, i gotta check how to get there...since we'll be taking the train there and from what I read on the website , we gotta change train. the map looks..confusing..well, i just wanna make sure we hop on the right train, get out at the right station. we wanna be there early so that we can go back early too. im sure there'll be alot of ppl..i just hope, erm..not that many ppl la...hahaha

so, i was planning to go korea...and stay there at least 10 days? the longer the better, wahahaa..

a few places that i wanna go are:-

LOTTE WORLD

ok..I maybe 24 years old (24 going 25 T_T) but i just LOVE themepark....call me childish but I can't help it...i love the thrill and the sight of all those gigantic themepark rides...(the faster, the higher the better ^^)



I just love this website..ahaha..everything is so cute and lively...look at all those rides!!!!!!!! DROOLSSS!!! in that website, i saw ppl eating icecream...me wants too!!!

there's also folk museum...ok....these pix are kinda creepy..but i know they shouldn't be scary laa..haha




I was looking at another website and i saw the admission fee..

Admission:




*slowly calculating using my brain*

ok...expensive -.-

anyways, i just GOTTA go there..no matter what!!!

HAN RIVER

Another place I hope to visit. Always read about ppl talking about going to han river...saw on tv..watched throught dramas...i wanna see it for myself!!!

The Han River is a major river in South Korea and the fourth longest river on the Korean peninsula after the Amnok, Duman, and Nakdong rivers (source : wikipedia) waaaaahhhh

From the website, we can go for a bike ride! LOL...there's even a couple bike...(chingu, we can choose that..it'll be fun!!.....2300 won per hour..boleh laaaa)

We can go on the ferry cruise..and I see food!!! yummy!!

JEJU ISLAND

Jeju Island!!! I'm not sure if i'll be able to go to jeju island butta...it's one place i really wanna go too...even koreans love going there...and from what I have seen on korean dramas, it really looks like a nice place to go!!


Jeju Island - one of the most beautiful islands in East Asia is located just one hour by air from Seoul, capital of Republic of Korea. Being of volcanic origin Jeju has 368 secondary craters, with Mt. Halla (1950 m) in the center of the island - it is an extinct volcano with a big crater on the top and lush vegetation growing down to the very seaside. The island is 73 km from west to east and 31 km from north to south, with a coast line of 254 km.


Tourist features of Jeju.
- Mild climate. Jeju is in subtropics and is excellent place for active tourism - not too hot and not too cold.
- Pure sea and air with a favorable ecology.


Ahhh....nice!!!!!

*******************

Next is shopping!!! Was just looking around and i saw this..

Dongdaemun market

Alot of retails shops...alot of shopping to do!!!

Insadong

Antiques shops, souvernir shops, restaurants..handicrafts...hanbok!!! oh, even art galleries

Hongdae

I'm not really into clubbin but it'll be interesting to just walk through these places...and see how is it like clubbin in korea...hahaa...

My friend went to korea before and what I like is that she got to experience how to write her name in korean (using the brush and paint), wore hanbok and got to go to the royal palace experience program..I would like to try my hands on some traditional craft making program..it'll be cool...


Altough I did say I wanna experience and go to so many places but then obviously it depends on the tour package we gonna choose and I know I may not be able to go to all the places I wanna go but then being able to be in Korea and experience the cold weather, I'm already happy..and moreover, having chingu to go along..at least I have someone as semangat as me to go to korea too!!

ok now...time for me to study korean...(if only im THAT hardworking..ahahhah)

Orchard in Port Dickson...

I was thinking of updating my blog by telling everyone my experience with HELIUM... but my pendrive is not working and all my pix are in there...well, I only have pix which I took yesterday when I went to Port Dickson to visit my grandma's sis... she and her family owns a huge orchard.
So, I got the chance to go around. It's a waste as most of the fruits are gone. Rambutan, durian season just passed..arrghh....wasted wasted...

Anyways, manage to take pix around the orchard. I love it there EXCEPT for the mosquitoes!! MAN!! I was itching all over... worse is, the flies!! Even when we wanted to eat the fruits, the flies will be circling around us -.-lll

My uncle calls it pokok besi. Not sure if it's correct or not..

Durian tree without the fruit..

Took this on the way there..I just love the colour..it's so sweet!

My uncle's car..hehehe...

I noticed that tree from afar...the shape is so unique, I just gotta take a pix..

Green everywhere!!

Didn't really get to take that many pix. Feel wasted too. It's not like I get to go there very often. It's my first too... it took us 10 mins to enter into that place and my uncle's car was full of mud. Once he reached Malacca, he went to wash his car..lol... I hope to go there again and see all the durians and rambutans and mangosteen.... oh.. palm tree was like everywhere!!

Ok..gonna update next time about my experience with helium with my chingu...hehehe...I'm ending this post with a pix I took of myself while waiting for food yesterday....hehe...

It's not my sunglass though. It's my mom's. I wish to have one but then...need to buy those with power...haih...

What's interesting this week....

First of all, wanted to watch Terminator Salvation BUT when we got there the tickets were all sold out. DARN!!!



So...in the end, I watched Monsters Vs Aliens instead. I don't usually watch cartoon moreover in the cinema! But then, we thought, why not just give it a shot....



Well, I won't say I regret watching the movie coz there are parts where I LMAO..the part where I couldn't stop laughing was *a little spoiler ahead* when the President (voiced by Stephen Colbert) knew that earth was gonna be invaded by aliens. General W.R. Monger (voiced by Kiefer Sutherland) introduced the monsters to the President and to tell him that the only way to go against the aliens are the monsters. The part in which the monsters were introduced, to me, was the funniest part especially when the tea lady kept screaming her butt off each time the General intro each monsters. You can watch that part a little here.

Another part was when the monsters realised that they gotta fight the aliens, Susan @ Ginormica (voiced by Resse Witherspoon) freaked out coz she's not the type of girl who fights! She was hyperventilating and that part reminds me of Chingu..HAHAHHA...you can see that part here.

Overall, it's a good movie ^^

Yesterday, my cousin sent me a MMS, asking me which hanbok should she wear for today's IU night....

A normal hanbok, slightly shorter on the top

Hanbok wore by princesses

I love the pink one, so in the end she got that one. Jelesnya...I so wanna try it on too!!

Oppss.....another spam pix..hahahhaha Cr:soompi

Ehem....Anyways, my whole intention of this post was to talk about the fire drill held in my office on Thursday. Nobody panic. Everyone was having a great time. We all died / perished in the fire. I can imagine ppl jumping out of the windown. Firemen were there with the big red fire engine. I was telling my chingu that I wanna try riding one of the fire truck. HAHAHA...

We walked down 11+5 floors of stairs...nothing but stairs!!! Imagine if the situation was real, I rather just jump down through the window T_T

After walking down like forever, we gathered outside and took attendance. Then...we waited...and waited...and waited....oh did I mention there was free mineral water and sandwich...and it was freaking HOT!!!

After standing there like forever, some of us decided to get away from there and we went to KFC pulak to drink and eat...wahahhaha...took some time off to read mags too ^^ The bad thing was that after the fire drill, I totally had NO mood to continue working...what a dragggg...

Guy in white: This is so fun...let's go it again!

Girl in red: WHAT??!!!

People rushing to take attendance..



Chingu pouting...

Lining up in accordance to the level where we work....

It's a Saturday and what I am doing?? Blogging..facebook....man...I am just too free >.<

Pictures spam

Yep, I have nothing to do (actually I do, it's just that I do not have the mood to do anything now). Thanks to my chingu, I was surfing the net and found some nice pix...just in the mood to post up piix, do nothing..think of nothing..just wishing that I am shopping instead...

Actually, there was a fire drill in my office. That will be my next post ^^

Korean food anyone??

Went to eat at Da Sa Rang with my chingu on Sunday. Love the atmosphere and the food. I loveeeeeeeee Kimchi fried rice but I didn't order that yesterday. Instead, we ordered the set.

Upon arrival~~

Hungry Ee Mey~

The sauce but it was too salty for me..


I love love LOVE the orange juice



We chose chicken and pork....




The kimchi soup was really spicy for me though...






Ee Mey doing some silly pose...

After dinner, we felt thristy so we went to McD and ate ice cream ^^ But that was not enough, we went to buy drinks too!!! ehem....

A day out in Times Square....

Finally, Saturday! Went to Times Square with my dear chingu. We didn't plan anything though. We just decided to go there and see what we wanna do. Oh, but one thing that was on our mind was to try out the donoughts in Krispy Kreme.

So, at first we went to have lunch at Sek Hou Restaurant.

Me with our gigantic drinks...

Ee Mey's turn to pose...

The drink is nice but one thing I hate about it is the ice. I know the drink needs ice but after awhile, it's irritating!! I couldn't eat the jelly nor the pearl jelly thingy...

Me with my vegetarian fried rice...Ee Mey told me the direct translation from mandarin is Monk's fried rice O.o

Oh, forgot to mention that while looking around to see what to eat, we also made an impromptu decision to watch a movie. X-Men Origins : Wolverine!!!

Ticket...sorry for the LQ pix ^^ ohh..I paid in cash...

Poster for the movie..I like Wade actually, too bad he appeared so little...Love his hands movements with the sword...

And of course, Daniel Henney as Agent Zero *drools*

I won't say the show is really really nice, but like what my chingu said, at least throughout the show, we wanna know what happens next. The fight scenes are always nice as usual! Young Summers appeared too, so kesian..hahhaa..his eyes are always close...Like Gambit's fighting scenes too...

After watching, we straight headed to Krispy Kreme!!

Ee Mey with our drink and donought



Our delicious donoughts..



More donoughts....hahhaha

The place is nice too, a little small but cosy and sooo comfortable...there's a pretty lady working there too ...hu hu hu...

So, that's how my Saturday just came and bye bye...1 more hour to Sunday..hmm...I better cherish my Sunday....Hope this coming week will be better than the previous...

Before going off, during my cousin's wedding, my mom found a wishing bone (from the chicken la ya...) So, my brother and I pulled it by holding to one side of the bone each. I got the longer part..SO..i got to wish..hehehe..of coz I can't tell right. If not it won't come true!! I hope it comes true!!
