First time receiving this

I know it would be rly weird of me to actually feel amazed by such gifts

As this is rly the first time I ever received such a expensive gift and is frm a guy somemre

I rly even think of going to a Dior shop to ask the staff whether is this authentic not lol

But I feel rly embarrassed so I gave up

And went to see YouTube videos to check fakes n real perfume

Bt end of the day even if is a fake one, on shoppee also cost $50plus 

Real one is $100

Either one is also real ex fr me le

Bt endup this one is authentic lol

I dun intend to use

In case he ask to take back frm me lol!

Jus keep at my cabinet fr now

And a plushie cat that I rly like

I shall end the post as I am starting to feel embarrassed of myself

Behaving like a country bumpkin

I was even telling my bro

Blessed me

Wanna share an incident today

Which rly makes me think it over n over again

Really someone or something is blessing me sia

Tdy lunch i saw my colleague bought Mac 

And I wanna eat her fries

So she passed to me across the table and when I was taking it over to my side, I knock over my whole cup of green tea. And everything was spilled n splash onto me

Thanks God I love cold drinks, so my legs are fine.

And the moment the cup toppled, I rly stun n look at the cup for 3sec before I gt the reaction to take up the cup lol

In my mind is like oh shit.

And the amazing thing is amidst the chaos, my hands still tightly grip onto the bag of fries ahahahah

Damn funny

Then the next luckiest thing is it only poured on my pants and not on my shirt. As I was wearing white tee.

And my pants are black. Plus is those kind water proof material

So I jus stand up and the water will roll down my pants.

And  the floor table everything was full of green tea.

Thanks to my colleague nick, he rly stand up and help me clean everything and going back n forth taking tissue help my clean the seat table n floor like my mum ahahahah

With the rest of my colleagues laughing only

Oh ya, our temp girl pei yi, also helped to giv tissue paper to wipe the table

Rly feel thankful to them both.

If nt rly nobody help de lo.

Nex time I know what to do le if something like this happen to the rest

And after the chaos ends, I then think back I rly damn lucky

This morning actually while I was searching my wardrobe high n low and thinking what to wear to match my top

In the first place I actually intend to wear a black pants but is those normal cotton kind of material.

Then endup I suddenly think aiya always wear this pants wash le then wear agn cos I lazy and always take the most top pants to wear instead of digging 

So today I go n dig my wardrobe and found this water-resistant pants that I rly at least 2 mths nv wear le.

Endup i poured the whole cup of green tea on my pants lol.

Thankyou everything everyone for blessing me today, if nt I rly need go home liao how to work sia, whole pants drenched and got stain alamak

2nd Solo Trip to Seoul

2nd Solo Trip back to Seoul

Yearly winter snowboard trip

Something different thing time

Is to and fro is SIA business class

Arrived jus nice this time round to check out both Silverkris lounge at both T3 and T2

As per review

T2 lounge is totally incomparable to T3

Interms of size, dining variety, ambience and toilets


Lucky that the time I arrived is early with no arrival flights or departure flights
Sky train within transit area is empty!

Easily found my way to T3 Silverkris lounge due to my early research to navigate my way around

Had a light meal as I intend to go T2 lounge as well later. And there are lots of snack n meal on board my flight later on
So I dun intend to overeat and get myself sick on plane later

The taste is average I feel
Their dimsum eso hargow
Rly fails so much
I suggest don't pick disum there
Choose other options


They provide wine, beer, oat milk, water, juice, coffee and all kind of teas there
I am non alcoholic person
So among the non alcoholic drinks there,
My favorites are chocolate oat milk and twg tea below



Didn't dare to take video so I took photos of the lounge at T3


They even had a extension area jus for Lil snacks and bite size food apart from the main food section
That's rly cool
And cause I came early, there totally isn't any crowd there
My flight was at 8am and I was there at 6am
I left the T3 lounge at ard 7am and that's was when crowd start to fill in
And the sky train I took back to T2 where my flight was , was rly packed
And I didn't took any photos at T2 lounge as it was such a disappointment as compared to T3 lounge and I left after 10min there
Finally board my plane
That came with a complimentary poach
With some facial mist n hand lotion


Started jamming on my movies
Finished 3 movies before landing 
SQ business class seating have mre privacy and it is in a capsule style
But actually I prefer less privacy that comes with more space
Like Korea air prestige class


Food comes with welcome drink which j choose champagne and some nuts and chocolates
Then meal started off with satay, some salad with cheese n prawns
Then my book the cook meal with steak
And pistachio ice cream cake

Arrived at seoul an hour earlier
And arrived my hotel at 4pm
Went out to buy food n snack back home and got my dinner at a nice eatery
Japchae and Korean style sweet n sour pork
It was nice and serving was huge

Second day went back to Auguk station where I was stayed at 6 yrs ago for my trip there.
And rly happy to find a cafe that still operating till today
Was rly craving for their cake that I had 6yrs back
And this time round add kn a pistachio cereal latte which was rly good

Continue walking down the path to my nex destination any tea house that I found on IG
Which I had wanted to go last Oct when I was here with my parents
But they were too tired to walk wif me that day so I gave up
Amazingly saw some Sakura trees along ther way
Finally try out neoprint at Seoul
As normally the outlets I see in town at full of ppl
But as it was 10am plus so totally streets were empty let alone be this neoprint store
So I jus head out and behave like I am at my home ahahaha
Another things strike off on my bucket list



Streets were empty and totally following my naver map
And glad that I rly found the tea house and I was even earlier
They open at 11am
But I had reach ther at 10.50am
So I sat ard and waites awhile


Finally seated and order the tea set and sanghwa Cha and some snacks that I seen online and had always wanted to try
Price were slightly pricey
But the ambience and everything there make it worth it
I had spent 3hrs there enjoying the view and everything
After walking ard buchonhanok village and doing some shopping
I managed to reach myeongdong at 4.30pm to have an early dinner
And jus nice avoid the dinner crowd
Their kimchijigae
And sirloin
Yes I went to ate beef bbq ahahaha
Costs me $107


On my birthday everywhere was full of ppl
So I only manages to walk ars myeongdong
Ry wkdays n wkends difference are too big


Showing the things I bought at jus my 2nd day here. But I am not scare 
As I had bought another 30in luggage once I reach seoul on my first day lol!!
So is jus buy buy buy
Learnt my lesson on sat
So on sun, I wake up early and 10.30am I was alr at the streets bought back my lunch
Ate at hotel, before rm svc starts at noon
And head out the streets
First itinerary Seoul forest
Jus basically is walking n sightseeing so I need to fill my stomach as the nex meal will be dinner


Thought will have alot ppl as it was sun
But unexpectedly quite empty
So I enjoyed walking ard the forest and unexpectedly came upon hangang
Lol!








Saw some deers n rabbits at the park as well damn cool


There are also insect auditorium and plants auditorium open to public fr free
So I went in to have a look
Then nex itinerary to hongdae mural streets
And had some shopping there the crowd at hongdae is no joke
So I left at 6pm



Dinner fr the day was myeongdong nite market.
I had alight 1 station before myeongdong
And walk back to my hotel while having my dinner along the way
Everything was damn nice


Back to hotel!
This time round I stay at 18level
The highest level was 20
Damn lucky isn't it?



Nex day was my main fr this whole trip
Snowboard
This time round instead of vilva
I went to elysian ski 
Prefer this one as there are lesser crowds and more beginners slopes to spread out those who are beginners at snowboard


This time round was able to make friend wif another female solo traveler frm Singapore
Which gave me the courage to take the lift up to another slope instead of the one with moving walkway 
So is another advance level then the one I usually go.

Behave like a joker n noob as was my first time taking this kind of lift
With my short legs n weak hands, had a hard time getting on and one hand holding my board and other hand trying to grab the safety bar down.
Fell countless time was I tried to get off the seat at the top and dangerously avoid being hit by the moving chair
Damn epic


Slope was rly empty at the beginner slope as compare to those training slopes
I need such empty spaces to learn as I dunwant spend my time avoiding those ppl was scare of falling n keep on sitting on the slopes
So I rly went down the slope and up the slop fr 20times
Finally managed to go dwn without falling once and able to turn n stop my trail at the bottom of the slope standing up and not falling dwn
Started off screaming till silence while going down the slope
Damn amazing
Another thing off my bucket list
Taking a ski lift and going down a beginner slope without falling.

Was able to catch a meal in-between as I make a friend and she gave me the courage to jus leave my board anywhere without locking it and go inside a canteen packed wif ppl to find seats 
So this time round I nv had the helpless feeling whether to eat or continue snowboard.
As everywhere was full of ppl and being alone is hard to find a place to eat or if I went in to eat, who is gg look after my board


Continue to snowboard after eating
Then ended my snowboard day with a dinner date with my new friend at myeondong
As I was sharing wif her, how much I wanted eat Korean bbq bt being alone is hard to eat it in Korea
And before I knew it
A sweet surprise fr me
It was snowing real hard at myeondong
I was thinking since day 1 I was here in seoul,
Will I be able to see snow?
Had totally no expectations and suddenly
It was snowing hard
When the nex day I am leaving already
So I was totally like, why am I sooooo lucky man
Lol!!



Found a rly gd bbq place.
That is rly near to my hotel
Nex time I definitely will go again
Price n service n food matches




Me n samantha








Goodbye to seoul~


Went to Silverkris lounge at Seoul
Definitely small like T2 lounge back in Singapore
But at least the design space is much prettier and food was nicer. Variety not alot.



Business class n economy class waiting space is different

Felt prestigious ahahah
As ppl were crowded at the other side
Bt mine was empty ababab








 Back home safely!
Can't wait fr my nex trip in Nov already
Destination not yet finalized
Only dates so far
But fr now, I need settle my career first
Hope cam get some better offer
If nt I can only continues stay on and rot fr another yr. Ohman
