Korea 19' Day 1: Arriving @ Seoul
It has been a week or two since I am back from Korea, And the post-withdrawal syndrome is so real. Thus, I have decided to stop procrastinating and start writing this travel post before I get all lazy and forget the details about this trip of mine.

Korea 2016 - Day 1
Day 1 of my Korea trip. It took me quite awhile to edit the photos for my Korea trip and I'm finally done with it. I've also done up a video collated from my snapchat and I cannot wait to show you guys!!!
You know, I really had no plans or any itinerary planned for this whole entire trip. This trip was solely to let my hair down and enjoy to the fullest before I embark my training at Brunei. The only thing I knew was to help my friends buy their stuff, so I ended up going to Hongdae at Hongik University. I was all alone and didn't had anyone with me, so the thought of having no one to help me take photos was a struggle. LOL!!!
Many people have told me how difficult it is to locate StyleNanda flagship store located at HongDae. Yes, it was difficult at first but after some googling, I've managed to find my way there. Now here's my guide to StyleNanda @Hongdae.
First: Once you alight at Hongik University station, walk out from Exit 8. Once you walk out you'll see this blue building at your right side.

How I managed to find StyleNanda is also thanks to this lady who wrote on that website. But still, the directions was a little bit unclear to me. Anyways, after you've seen the blue building on your right, TURN RIGHT and WALK STRAIGHT.
When you're walking, you will walk past this cafe called CoCo Bruni. Continue walking till you see that INVERTED TRIANGLE POLE SIGN. (As shown on the picture above) Beside the sign, there's a convenient like store that sells all your coffee, snacks and miscellaneous stuff.
Once you've reached the inverted triangle pole sign, TURN RIGHT, you'll see a 7-11 across the street on the far right. Walk towards it.
Once reached the 7-11, you will come across a cross junction. Stick close to the 7-11 side and turn left.
When you turn left, you'll see this long ass never ending street. Keep walking straight. You'll need to walk quite a distance so just keep walking straight.
Once you walk until the near end of the street, you turn left and you'll see StyleNanda flagship store. Its actually really visible and you won't be able to miss it.
The previous time I came, I regretted not taking enough pictures, this time round, I practically spam and spend more than an hour in the store. LOLOLOL!!!
If I'm not wrong, only the store at Hongdae have a photobooth and ITS FREE!!! Its the time where I unleash the Singaporean in me. LOLOLOL!!! When I was queuing up for my turn there's this few Chinese girls who're HOGGING the machine. LITERALLY!!!
Okay I admit, I had my fair share of fun at the machine too. Hahah!!! Well, its free. So.....
This time round, I managed to get myself something from StyleNanda, and also took more photos than I previously did. #HappyMe!!!
Afterwhich, I went to MyeongDong for more shopping. Just nice, the timing was where all the streets stalls are out selling stuff.
Met up with my friend for dinner whom he came with his Mom and brother. We had some expensive beef for dinner and had the worst alcohol (if you would call Soju alcohol) in my life. I think my tolerance for alcohol is relatively low. LOL!!!
Here's my outfit for the day. Wore a suspender culottes and a white top to match with it cuz I don't want my outfit to end up to flashy. Wore a hat to complete the outfit. Oh yah, my sandals was a steal from Zalora. The initial price was $39++?!?! I bought it for like $19.90!!!! :)

Korea Travelogue; Day 6
I'm finally writing the last day of my Korea Travelogue, after 6 months that is... LOL!
So anyways, I was scrolling through instagram and I saw so many people posting pictures of their Korea Trip! SUPER ENVIOUS CAN!!! Somemore its snowing in Korea now, I'm so dying to be right there now!!!
Okay, I digress a little bit, lets focus the main point of this post. The itinerary on Day 6 is actually to keep our travel area nearby cuz its our last day, and we had to get to the airport by 8pm++. So we actually stayed around Myeong Dong area for the whole time. Explored the Namsan Seoul Tower, and we did our last minute shopping at Myeong Dong area.
We got our usual Isaac Toast for breakfast and my Banana Milk! (I MISS MY ISAAC TOAST T.T) before heading up to the Namsan Seoul Tower. As this was my virgin trip to Korea, Andy suggested taking me to tour around the tower as it is a iconic tourists attraction in Seoul Korea.
We climbed up the damn slope which is probably slightly steeper than 45 degree? I was panting my life away when I was climbing the slope. LOL!
Finally, we reached the place where the cable car. It takes passengers all the way up to the place where the tower is located without having to climb any more stairs.
The cable car tickets return trip costs 8500 Won per person, so its around $10.60?++
We reached the top of the hill and I was floored by the amazing view. The locks, the place and URGHHHH! It's just so amazing!!!!
So as I was touring around, I separated myself from Andy, cuz I want to have my own moment there. I was immersing myself wholeheartedly into the atmosphere. Like I was in some K-Drama. LOLOLOL!!!
I'm really amazed at just how some people will find ANY ways they could to place their locks. Hahaha! Some people even lock their mobile phone cases together. Kinda cute and creative IMO.
And so, since its my first time at Korea, and I doubt I'll be there anytime soon again, I thought why not I get myself a padlock to lock it over there as well?! HAHAHA!
After walking around and finding the perfect spot, I finally settle on the place where I wanna place my lock at. Tadahh! At the lamppost. And after you're done locking your padlock, you just throw your keys into this little red metal thingy. LOL!
Their benches are designed in a V shape so that you both parties will slide to the middle and eventually sit side by side each other. Here's to the #ForeverAlone me.
While I was taking a selfie, look who I caught camwhoring behind me! LOL THAT BITCH!
Yes Angie, I just called your idol a bitch. Hahahaah!
Before we left the Seoul Tower for Myeong Dong, we took a mandatory shot with the tower. TADAHH! ♥
We ended off our tour at Namsan Seoul Tower and took the cable car back to ground floor. Took a photo of the crowd before embarking on our final journey/walk at Myeong Dong.
Actually, the remaining photos you see will just be food cuz we are gluttons like that! Hahah! But really, what is there to talk about when it comes to shopping??? Hahaha!
After we're done shopping, we had our dinner at some local restaurant. Army Stew again!!! Couldn't get enough of Army Stew cuz its so dirt cheap and nice in Korea! TMD Singapore sells so expensive!!! Daylight Robbery lor!!!
After our dinner we carried on with a bit more of shopping and then we went back to our hostel to collect our luggages (and also to pack our barangbarangs into the luggage la).
We bid goodbye to our room, our hosts and the hostel before we leave to catch the bus to Incheon International Airport.
Do bear in mind that you have to keep 10,000 won with yourself because you NEED IT for the transport fare back to the airport.
Dear friends/readers, please do not judge my passport cover. LOLOLOL!!!
After which, we boarded the plane, transit at Taipei Airport, and then landed at Changi Airport. URGHHH!! I HATE GOODBYES!!! T.T
Well, this sums up my Korea Trip. I'll put down the links to my other Korea Travelogue Posts in case you guys wanna re-read again. Hahaha! Till next post. Ciao~
