<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">My skincare dream came true! I have always wanted to try the highly raved Bioderma micellar water range but because of my constant impulsive buys of Korean skincare brands, I haven't gotten anything off the shelves from our local markets for close to 2 years. Therefore a really huge thank you to Samplestore for sending them my way!</span><br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">With micellar water taking by storms in the skincare market these days, many brands have been coming up with their very own micellar water products. So what exactly is micellar water? </span><span style="background-color: white; color: magenta; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Micellar water</span><span style="background-color: white; color: magenta; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"> is a skincare product that removes makeup and cleanses the skin, without the need for rinsing.</span><span style="background-color: white; color: magenta; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The idea is that </span><span style="background-color: white; color: magenta; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">micelles</span><span style="background-color: white; color: magenta; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"> are attracted to dirt and oil, so they are able to draw out impurities without drying out the skin.Therefore, </span><span style="background-color: white; color: magenta; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">micellar</span><span style="background-color: white; color: magenta; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"> water can be used as a facial wash, makeup remover and moisturizer all in one.

</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Before I was exposed to the micellar water technology, my favourite make up removers were the deep cleansing oil by a renowned brand or a make up cleansing cream by a Korean brand. Both the oil and cream based products were extremely good with removing my make up thoroughly without tugging onto the skin due to the nature of the texture. However, it made my skin oilier than it already was. Also with Singapore's unforgiving humid weather, my combination skin was often on the oilier side which was frustrating. With the invention of the micellar water technology, it is safe to say that this is the perfect one for individuals of different skin types and a hero product especially for those living in tropical countries. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">When it comes to micellar water, Bioderma Sensibio H20 takes the cake. It is the non-rinse cleansing water using the Micelle Technology that removes make up brilliantly (without water!) and leaves the skin refreshed and cooling. It is no wonder why this hero product has since been a backstage secret on fashion runways, the absolute favourite cleansing product of the make up artists, models and celebrities. But of course, it isn't always about the convenience for the famous celebrities, what about the consumers who contributes to the bigger portion of the market? This is also very much catered to the consumers, the massive female population - regardless if you are always tight on schedule, on the go, ladies who battles with fatigue yet struggling with removing make up after a late night out or simply just ladies who are too lazy to spend another minute in the bathroom trying to wipe the last speck of eyeliner off your face - this product is for you. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="color: magenta;">ONE SOLD EVERY 3 SECONDS!
The numbers speak for themselves.Why is this little pink bottle so well-loved? In just one
step, Bioderma Sensibio H20 provides superior makeup
removal and gentle cleansing, thanks to its unique
restorative properties, skin is always left feeling soft
and comfortable. Soap, alcohol and fragrance-free, this
non-rinse cleanser refreshes, soothes and preps the skin
for subsequent skincare.</span><span style="color: blue;"> </span>I can absolutely vouch for that. I have used different brands of micellar water and I must admit that the functions of the micellar water of different brands work the same however the stark difference between Bioderma and the other brands is that it delivers what is promised - gentle to the skin and leaves the skin feeling refreshed and cooling. It not only removes make up residue, it also removes environmental pollutants off my skin.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">And because Bioderma realized the needs for a gentle cleanser after the first step of removing the make up, we now have BIODERMA SENSIBO GEL MOUSSANT! I do double cleansing in my skincare routine everyday and people have been telling me the importance of having a cleanser that should be gentle enough to the skin so it does not strip off more moisture that it should on your face. I'm guilty for not paying too much attention on the different facial foams I use from time to time and Bioderma's new Sensibo Gel Moussant is a really different cleanser from the usual ones I used. As it is gel based, it glides on the face effortlessly and cleans the face really well. The only thing I might not like is the scent of this product. This is a personal opinion and I'm sure there are people who'd appreciate this for the benefits of a gel cleanser. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Instead of going into details of what the ingredients are inside this little bottle of goodness first (which nobody would read unless interested), I'd share what most people would be interested in - the BENEFITS. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">If you are asked to pay <b>$69.90 for a box of 10 beauty drinks</b>, the price definitely isn't going to be one of the factor that people would grab it off shelf without a thought (on their pockets). You know its a bang for your buck when you are paying to restore youth.</span><br />
<b><span style="color: #e06666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="color: #e06666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">PRODUCT BENEFITS
• Rejuvenates damaged skin cells
• Reduces wrinkles & fine lines
• Restore skin firmness & elasticity
• Brightens skin
• Tighten pores
• Locks in moisture </span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I'm not going to say that oh! After 10 bottles of Avalon stem cell drink, all the benefits are now showing on my skin! It is not going to happen, truth. We all know that keeping up with a beauty regime is a long term investment and some consumers buy them over a course and complain they do not work. I as a consumer would be skeptical myself so here's sharing with you how I felt, after a 10 days course of beauty drink.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">After shifting in to stay with the husband, I'm now sleeping right above the aircon which is terrible for my wellbeing. I am still keeping up with my usual skincare routine which is no longer working out when the aircon is taking away more moisture than what I can prepare my skin for. I wake up everyday to extremely dry throat, lips and skin. After starting on Avalon stem cell beauty drink, I do see 3 visible improvements on my skin - Brighter skin, smaller pores and I wake up to a supple skin that I used to get when I apply my laneige sleeping pack (which I ran out of). What I also absolutely love is the sparkling lychee flavour (I made this up myself), it tastes extremely refreshing when chilled so put them all in your fridge! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">$69.90 for a week of consumption, which cost half of what a facial usually costs is definitely worth the dollars. You'd be getting more out of it in a long run than what a short 60 minutes of facial can help you with. If girls are willing to spend heaps on facial packages, this is something worth the thought to add on to your beauty regime. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Photo diary: Sky Park 하늘공원 (World cup stadium station)</span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">I'm really amazed with the husband's Samsung S6 camera. It actually takes decent pictures. So some long time back we went to my favorite place in Seoul, Sky park! I think throughout the stay in Korea, I went there at least 3 times. I'm honestly not too sure about the other seasons but if you happen to be there during Fall (October), this is the place to be. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">I know many people think that the ideal place to go is either the Han river or Yeouido park. I've been to only Yeouido park once for the International fireworks festival (read - <a href="http://sherylbella.blogspot.sg/2015/10/mykoreadiary-maylinginseoul-day1.html" target="_blank">here!</a>) Honestly, it wasn't as fancy as how everybody would tell you it is. But for sure go to Yeouido park during Spring for the cherry blossom season, otherwise it's just a park. I've never been to Han park/river before. For some reasons, it never interest me. Also maybe I took it for granted that I occasionally see it while I'm on the subway so it wasn't in the list to visit. So if you have time constraints, you can go to Sky park which overlooks the Han river anyway. It boosts a panoramic view of the Han river and it'll be perfect if you are there during sunset.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">I think the main idea of travelling to countries with seasons is that you choose the places to go in the right seasons. If you happen to be travelling to Korea during winter, Sky park would look like this (<a href="https://www.google.com.sg/search?q=haneul+park&espv=2&biw=1277&bih=638&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwimw-3c2KnOAhWIrY8KHXgwC1IQ_AUIBigB#imgrc=Csm5a75JRutKAM%3A" target="_blank">photo source</a>), which would be not worth a trip up there. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">P.S/ You gotta climb a really, really long flight of 291 steps up for the majestic view. Else, join the snake queue that provides a shuttle bus up. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">Google would take you to a list of palaces to visit in Seoul but I'd tell you that it is wiser to just pick your favourite instead of spending the entire day looking at the same structures. I'd been to Gyeongbokgung (</span><a href="http://sherylbella.blogspot.sg/2015/10/mykoreadiary-maylinginseoul-day-2.html" style="font-family: times, "times new roman", serif;" target="_blank">read here!</a><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">) numerous times and it is definitely worth the tourist hype but I was getting bored so I decided to take the sisters to Changdeokgung (which has a secret garden)! Also disclaimer: I think that the secret garden would be less fancy without the Autumn/Spring colours so if you are visiting in Summer/Winter, it'd probably just look dull.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">Autumn colours are so short-lived yet appealing. I took for granted that the vibrant colours would stay for the entire season so I was basically just bumming the entire season away at home but it rained so much that the leaves were collected on the ground instead. Red maple leaves, I'd definitely see you again.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">Hello! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">I'd been away from this space for a long time now and I think that it is time to do what I love to, sharing pictures from my camera roll & experiences from wherever I left my footprints at. Blogging, again! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">Why I left this space quiet? Distraction. </span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">So I don't think I mentioned this online before but my first ever smartphone was an Iphone 3G then to a 4G, but it had always been a constant struggle with the whole Itunes syncing function which I eventually gave up on when my macbook died on me. I hated it. Joined the Samsung family and I never looked back. For about 5 years, I never had issues with a Samsung phone. It takes me 5 seconds to get a new song into my phone and I do not really need that many functions that a smartphone has to offer so I was contented. This year, the husband decided to buy me an Iphone. I'd been constantly yakking at how complicated Iphone functions are but I didn't realise that it has been simplified now. Completely a tech retard, I know. So, regarding why I left this space empty is because I'd been hooked onto the convenience of an Iphone. Iphones are amazing! I used to go back home to my macbook everyday but now, my macbook has been collecting dust in a corner of my room. Laptop neglected = no updates on the blog. Why haven't I realised it earlier? </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">Personal life.</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">I never really like talking about my personal life online only because I can't control tongues from wagging but I can control the information you obtain of me online. It may just be the nature of a Scorpio. I am also a very prideful person so I tend to keep all my emotions to myself (except anger, haha!) which is why I'm always seen as a happy person on the outside. Here comes the longwinded story of probably a tinge of personal feelings.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">So in 2015, I dropped all I had in Singapore and left to live in Korea for a short 5 months. I'd say it was the best decision I ever made for myself. It might not be anything fancy for certain people but for me, it was a whole new level of surreal. Everything was planned in my head: save money - quit the job I love - live in Korea - come back to Singapore - find a job within a month - save up for the new house. I'm pretty good at planning ahead so everything went the way it was played in my head. My air bubble burst when I did not find an ideal job in a month's time. I might have set the bars too high for myself but I just felt really terrible about bumming at home. It was also 5 years since I applied for jobs + going for interviews so I honestly didn't thought the job search would have took so long. I had a long enough break and I needed to make myself useful again. Waking up everyday with nothing to do was driving me crazy. My MIL was so patient, she did not utter a word even when I took so long but that was also one of the reasons why the guilt was overwhelming. I was the wild daughter in law who moved to Korea 3 weeks into marriage and came back to Singapore rotting away at home. I was assured that it was okay to take my time but it came to a point where I lost drive in doing anything. And you know people around me whom acted like they "genuinely" cared for me started bitching about my qualifications and self righteously think that the reason why I couldn't find a job was because I was uneducated. To whoever that falls into that category (and reading this), I'm telling you that I can take up any job I want to and would still be useful in the society & my family. I don't see how uneducated I am when the "educated" people does nothing but talk about me in an uneducated manner. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">So after 3 months since February, the job hunt is over. I am well accepted into my new company & I absolutely love my current job. I was quite rigid in my job hunt previously and only cherry picked job vacancies that were close to my previous job industry. I'm in a brand new industry right now, working with the best team of people ever. Thankful that life got back on track, thankful that I found joy in working again. (P.S Thank you to real friends whom were there for me even without knowing why I was upset and missing all the time. Adeline Tan, thank you!) With that, imma go make new plans in my head now and await for the next big phase that would most probably be happening this year, the keys to our new house! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">So here it is, me ranting personal once in a blue moon. If that bored the people whom are more interested in my travelogues, will be back on that soon!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Coincidentally or not, my midterm exams started 3 days before my birthday and ended on my birthday. It was a stressful week before we finished our last paper and called for a celebration! I count my blessings everyday for meeting the people of class 1-2, they were the best bunch of classmates and will always be my favourite memory in Korea. Thank you for the cake & birthday lunch! xo</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Still basking in the overdue autumn happenings when we are already into 2k16. I am the procrastinating queen, hands down.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">So my sister was in Korea for over a week to see me in late Oct/ early Nov. She was constantly harping on watching a baseball match so I had to accede to the princess's request. I was really upset to find out that the baseball season was over by the end of October and there wouldn't be any baseball matches in Seoul till Winter is over. I really wanted to watch LG twins play again after watching my first match in 2014 when they played against Doosan bears. Sought help from my local friend and thankfully there were two matches left before the end of baseball season in 2015. It wasn't just any friendly match among the Korean baseball teams but an international match --- <u>South Korea VS Cuba</u>. I was beyond stoked!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I won't go into details of how arduous the process was trying to get hold of the tickets especially when it was the last two matches after the baseball season. Thankfully we managed with help from the kind friend. </span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The game was held at Gocheok Skydome, officially opened on Nov 2015. It was such a great opportunity to watch the game in a spanking new stadium! I love the brand new stadium's setting and we managed pretty good views from our seats!</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">So during Autumn last year, the husband and I made more effort to sightsee around Seoul after bumming a month away during Summer. And because I'm a history inclined person, I was especially interested in the Seodaemun Prison. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Seodaemun Prison and museum hall narrates the tough times of Korea's history. A walk through the museum shows a heart wrenching past during the Japanese colonial rule. There are also occasional wax figures in certain cells to better depict the methods used in the torture chambers and also how prisoners communicate by the tapping codes on the wall. Certain cruel torturing methods include being thrown in the box full of spikes and they would shake the box till you relent. There is also a suicide room where you can volunteer to hang yourself and end your life. I always wanted to visit a prison to see how it looks and works in there, but never did I realise that I would not enjoy my trip at all. I never felt so sad looking at faces of those who sacrificed in the harsh historical period ever. There is really a lot more to than what is mentioned and seen here so go pay a visit if schedule allows.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Cassandra got sick of the typical Korean food so I was looking for alternatives and we decided to try Jjimdak (찜닭) since I've never tried it personally as well. We went to Daepo Jjimdak (대포찜닭) at Sinchon and it was a right choice made! Everyone loved the meal with the cute little chick egg sitting on top! I later tried other Jjimdak shops which was not even close to the taste at Daepo Jjimdak. <b>I strongly recommend Daepo Jjimdak instead of the overrated Andong Jjimdak.</b></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Some few months ago, we were introduced to Korean BBQ, the Camping concept. Koreans are really big on camping trips but for the convenience of a similar camping vibe in the comfort of the city, go to a Camping restaurant. The Camping restaurant concept had been quite a hit in Korea and there are a couple of similar restaurants around Seoul. As for us, we went to Outdoor kitchen. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Located near Yeonsinnae Station (연신내역), it is relatively near to where we were living in Seoul but definitely far away from the hyped touristy areas. What I like about dining in the neighbourhoods is that prices are really affordable with a lesser crowd. At Outdoor Kitchen, Pork Belly Samgyeopsal (삼겹살) & Pork Neck Mok sal (목살) is priced at 7,000<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 18.2px;">₩/portion which is fairly reasonable for the different experience.</span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I'd suggest Outdoor Factory 아웃도어팩토리 at Hapjeong area for convenience sake. (More info - <a href="http://www.trazy.com/spot/941/outdoor-factory-%EC%95%84%EC%9B%83%EB%8F%84%EC%96%B4%ED%8C%A9%ED%86%A0%EB%A6%AC-restaurant-cafe" target="_blank">here!</a>) Not sure if both restaurants with identical names are affiliated though, but from what I know prices at Outdoor Factory are slightly steeper probably due to the location.</span></div>

In Japan, eat all things cute! Pompompurin is the only Sanrio cafe in Osaka as of now so why not? Impressed by the interior design and spacious dining area, I love how Japanese gets to every little detail. So detailed that even their chairs were paid attention to! I never had expectations of what my lunch would taste like because stereotype says that cute food never taste good. I had the Beef Stroganoff rice and unexpectedly, it was comparable or even better than (SG) Ma Maison's Stroganoff rice. There is simply no reason to refuse dining in such an ebullient atmosphere serving yummy cute meals anymore.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="background-color: #f4cccc;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">Mizuno (美津の):</span></b></span> Known to be the home to the best Okonomiyaki in Osaka, Mizuno is one of the highly raved restaurants where tourists flock to. I went to Dōtonbori again in search for dinner and decided to try Okonomiyaki! I never had Okonomiyakis ever so I didn't know what to expect until I was seated on counter seatings again and the chefs prepared my dinner right in my face. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">A portion of Okonomiyaki at Mizuno would set you back at 1405¥ (without tax) which is honestly steep in my opinion. For the brand & novelty, I would understand the need to experience the food hype at least once but it is no wonder the locals do not visit at all. Japan has no lack of delicacies and despite Mizuno's being really yummy (duh, for the price it better be), the price do not justify at all. Opinion coming from a budget student traveller who can't afford daily expensive meals, if otherwise this place assures a great meal :< </span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I finally checked travelling alone off my bucket list. It was an amazing short journey alone, too short a holiday but because the air tickets were cheaper on certain dates hence only 3 days. I always loved the idea of travelling alone but after the marriage, priority definitely went to the husband. I'd rather see the world with the man I love than to explore on my own now. Which also explains the reason why I refuse to see more of Osaka on this trip because I was saving all of that just to see Osaka with the husband on our honeymoon. So thankful for the chance I got this time and till then, If I ever get to travel alone again. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I am six days away from home and this anticipation is killing me. Although four months have passed in a flash, I definitely embraced many heartfelt moments when I was here so no regrets, time to go back home again. Many friends have been telling me that I would miss Korea when I get back home. I mean yes, I definitely will. Withdrawal symptoms would start kicking in and I would miss the times being abroad but the thought of staying with my family and friends is a much more alluring deal than surviving the world alone. I miss my daily hugs from the grandmother, I miss chasing my cats around the house, I miss my friends whom I would call up in the middle of the night for a beer, I miss even wearing slippers at least. Of course, missing the good days of living here in Korea would be part of me from now but reality is the direction where I'm headed to right now. See you soon, Singapore.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I found a draft written 2 months ago and completely forgot about it. Here's an overdue read before I get back to Singapore. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>(xx October 2015)</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I'd been chasing backlogs of #mykoreadiary and it is really hard to update as frequent as I'd like to. Most of the time, I really want to do without an update but write something instead. I prefer writing feelings than talking about places I went which is why most of the time I would come up with more pictures than words. So yes, halting a supposedly "where did I went" post today.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I've been living out of my comfort zone for 2 months now. It still feels surreal for me everyday waking up in Korea. I love how everything fell in place for me and I'm really thankful to have taken the plunge and went with my guts to open up this brand new chapter. But I'm honestly not even surprised at myself because I'm a risk taker. It really isn't a bad thing after all. In other news, I still cannot believe that I'd been doing my own laundry and cleaning up the house for the past months. I am just one of the current generation that has never done laundry or any household chores in my entire life. <b>#truth</b> But the truth is also that I'm</span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"> learning each day and getting amazed at little things like operating a vacuum cleaner/washing machine. I used to have all my clothes hand washed and ironed nicely back at home and I'm starting to appreciate what I'd been blessed with in Singapore. These days, I've to rely on washing machines and also occasionally donning wrinkled clothes. :< </span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I do miss Singapore. I miss my family and definitely my friends back at home. There are days I just want to sob so bad because I miss my grandmother. And my cats T.T </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">It may sound like the most ridiculous thing to say but I honestly miss them like crazy. Every morning I would wake up from a good night sleep and feel uncomfortable about it because I'd usually get my nightly disturbance from the babies. I miss being stepped all over and my son pawing me awake every morning. I feel so mentally unsound right now. Anyway, I am coping on well right here, right now. I am unsure of what the aftermath of these 4 months would bring me but I am definitely sure all the uncertainty in exchange for this experience is sure worth it. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">(10 december2015) I'm waiting for my flight back to Seoul right now and I've approx. an hour to kill before my flight call. By the time I publish this, it would probably be weeks later.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I was in Osaka alone for three days and it was definitely one of the most rewarding trips I'd ever been on. I have so much love for travelling and one of the hype Asia destination I always wanted to see was Japan but who'd have thought that my first trip there would be alone?! I'd probably be doing a guide on being alone in Japan although it is almost redundant for most Singaporeans would definitely be travelling to such a destination with at least someone. Nonetheless, I just want to document every little speck of my experience so I'd have something to look back to in future. </span></span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Shower rooms have double doors (if you can tell from the picture). You can change out in the dry area without getting your clothes wet. Such a smart idea :></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">My thoughts on Ark Hostel: I honestly love the convenience, a 30 second sprint from the subway station would get me home which is great for solo female travellers. Location is also relatively near to most iconic spots in Osaka so yes, highly recommended! On thoughts of the female dormitory, I was definitely not expecting an extremely quiet ambiance because you know girls... we talk alot. Or is it just me? Anyway, my dorm was quiet most of the time. The only time you'd hear noise is when somebody unpacking or packing, thats it. It is my first time staying in a hostel, (yay! bucket list checked!) so I was dealing with culture shock from the dead atmosphere. Basically, everything was great in Ark Hostel from my short stay there. Staffs were really friendly and helpful as well! However, strict check-in at 3pm because they would not even open their check-in counter before 3pm. So leave your luggages in their care and explore away! </span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b><span style="background-color: #f4cccc; font-size: large;">Eat:</span></b> Ichiran Ramen! I did not have time to do up an itinerary for my trip so it was my first time literally roaming without a plan. Before I left for Dotonbori, I looked up the internet for dinner places and Ichiran Ramen was recommended in almost every website I browsed. <b>一蘭 Ichiran Ramen</b> is actually known as the home to one of the best ramen in Japan. Apparently nobody leaves Japan without visiting this widely raved ramen chain. </span>And so I went! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">¥910 </span>(SGD$10.50) for a regular bowl of ramen with an egg. (¥790 without the egg)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">You'd have to order from the vending machine, pay and get your meal ticket. Pick up the order sheet and customize your ramen to your preference. The staff would then guide you to an empty cubicle for your meal. At your cubicle, you have everything you need to enjoy your meal. Napkins, cups and even your personal water dispenser. Before I forget to mention (!!), this bowl of goodness is indeed </span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">phenomenal. I definitely understand the reason behind the Ichiran Ramen craze.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I absolutely love this cubicle seating restaurant because it definitely makes you feel really comfortable eating alone. This is probably the best part about travelling alone in Japan because most restaurants are big on counter seatings. </span><br />

Dinner at the famous Noryangjin fish market! Definitely one of the best seafood place to go in Seoul. Cy & Cass made it mandatory on every Seoul holiday to come for a meal so we had to! We overspent, over ordered, burst our bellies but guess who went home happy! There isn't much to talk about this (already) popular tourist destination, so it'd be just visuals.</div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Common Ground is Korea's first and World's largest Pop-up Container Shopping Mall. The first and second floors are mainly comprised of hip stores and shops while the third floor is filled with trendy restaurants with terraces. About 200 blue coloured fashion & lifestyle/ food & beverage containers give a unique experience to the customers. There are also food trucks in the central area (so-called market ground) that's surrounded by the containers. A variety of markets are held in the market ground every weekend. (Source- <a href="http://www.trazy.com/spot/2676/common-ground-%EC%BB%A4%EB%A8%BC-%EA%B7%B8%EB%9D%BC%EC%9A%B4%EB%93%9C-shopping" target="_blank">here!</a> )</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The description above basically explained everything in sync with the pictures I've snapped. A really hippie place to hang out but definitely not a place that I'd be down for shopping thou. My fashion sense is really too common for "common ground" so there isn't anything for me there. But nonetheless, an extremely refreshing ambiance for shopping! It isn't everyday that you are able to stroll around in containers right? And oh food trucks! I'd been dying for something similar to be up back at home but SG has too strict a hygiene benchmark so it is impossible to find a permanent food trucks on the streets. I'd be down for their hippie food trucks again sometime soon!</span></div>

We went to Myeongdong after lunch to get her skincare shopping done before heading back home for the couple. Guess who spent all her money in our favourite Laneige? </span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Cassandra & CY arrived Seoul in the evening so we headed out for dinner at James Cheese Back Ribs! I know, nobody is even paying me for being their tour guide yet I've a tighter schedule than a legit tour guide have :< In other news, the ribs here tasted just as good as the picture looks! But... </span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">1. Heck small portion, it is probably 2 ribs/pax. </span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">2. Overpriced. We paid probably 18,000₩/pax for the baby portion.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I'd still recommend if you have a small appetite or if you're feeling rich because their ribs are undeniably good. However, it is really impossible for a poor student like me to frequent because the price could get me a really fantastic bbq dinner, an iced latte and Korea's expensive chocolate churros. It is definitely a better deal than 2 pieces of ribs.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I have classes on weekdays so Bryan took over to bring Mayling around for a morning. They went shopping at Edae while waiting for me to be done with school! Lunch was pretty meh and not worth a mention. It was cheap though, 5,900₩ if I'm not wrong.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The girlfriend is crazy about Hello kitty. She would have spent her fortune on her kitty obsession if she could. Hello kitty cafe in Hongdae have since moved to a new space in November 2014 and this move is just perfect for hello kitty fans. The place is definitely more spacious now and there is also a souvenir shop to splurge your money! Killing all the excitement, I was there just to grab coffee, study and accompany.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Sunday was our girly date without the husband! We woke up early to spend a longer day out with each other. </span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">This place is definitely the mother of all Seoul's Ginseng Chicken restaurants. Every tourist who visit Seoul would definitely have this in their itinerary. I asked Ling for a food list of what she'd like to try in Korea and since Ginseng chicken was on the list, this should be the place to be. N<b>earest Subway: Gyeongbokgung station</b></span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I've been here for a couple of times and every time, I just feel so refreshed with their signature dish. I must say that it is quite pricey for a meal here but albeit the price, the portions are pretty worth the bucks. Also at this place, I absolutely love their seafood pancake (해물파전) for its crisp and flavour! This time, it was a complete let down when we got served a cold pancake which was probably pre-prepared long ago. The soup standard was still consistent but because of their growing popularity and drive to serve more customers in the shortest time, they compromised their food quality by preparing it in advance. Other than the Ginseng chicken that is still worth a visit here, I wouldn't pay ₩15,000 for a cold pancake ever again. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">And after a filling brunch at Tosokchon, where else but Gyeongbokgung for a stroll?

It was really crowded as usual but we managed to find our way to some quiet scenic spots!</span></div>

I haven't had an entire day out for a long time, it was just half a day out and my energy level depleted completely. I was on my white flag so we popped into a cafe to refuel. Our initial intentions were to just get my caffeine dosage fixed but I saw Ice cream waffles on the menu and I couldn't resist! I'm more like the younger sister when it comes to food because I get really whiney if I didn't get to eat what I want and ling's more accommodating on this so she bought us waffles! ^^ </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Korean traditional houses! Friends who know me would know that I love historical spots and this is just one of my favourite places in Seoul. Amidst the crowded city of Seoul is a neighbourhood of traditional hanoks. I love how they kept this place untouched because it feels really nostalgic to be walking in this quaint village. Tourists have since been swarming this place after it became an attraction. There really isn't anything to see except for the architecture of the entire neighbourhood and probably some souvenir shops. So only if you love history and ancient artifacts, the walk up here would be worth it.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Dinner time at Hongdae! The husband joined us for dinner and we had Korean BBQ! I was never a fan of Korean BBQs until this long stay in Korea. Having been to Korea twice previously, I still thought barbecued meat tasted all the same. I had been taking time to explore this place all over again and now I'm a convert! I basically want to eat BBQ everyday because I can finally tell the difference between a honestly good meat BBQ and whatever else you'd get at overrated restaurants. ^^ </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">This restaurant is one of the better ones we had which was recommended by a friend. I didn't like the place as much but the meat was pretty good. This set probably sets you back at 29,000₩ so it isn't too expensive to share among 3 people. </span></div>

She also didn't mind the hassle coming to see me despite having her surgery done just two weeks ago. I'd say mostly for my sake because she isn't a fan of Korea at all. Thank you, ling. The best thing about being abroad is to have a friend that wouldn't mind the miles just to see you. </span></span><span style="color: #545454; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="line-height: 18.2px;">♥♥♥</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #545454; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="line-height: 18.2px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #545454; line-height: 18.2px;">We got her flight itinerary fixed 3 days before the flight call, what could be more impromptu than that? We really made meeting across the globe sound so easy. It is her first time to Korea and we had no itineraries to follow so it was just anywhere that came to my mind! I decided to cover most of the places I love in Seoul just so she could experience the best of what I think is the best haha.</span></span><br />

I love their food options here, my favourite mayak gimbap (</span></span><span style="color: #545454; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="line-height: 18.2px;">마약김밥), yuk-hoe (육회) and mung bean pancake (빈대떡) all in the heart of Gwangjang market! </span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #545454; line-height: 18.2px;">Needs no introduction. As much as I hate the weekend crowds, the irony is that the best of Myeongdong is actually the bustling weekends with many food carts littered on the streets. This girl had a smashing good time shopping for cosmetics & skincare. It was nice travelling with the girlfee for the first time in our 10 years of friendship! </span></span><br />

<span style="color: #545454; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 18.2px;">There was a firework festival going on in Seoul so we went on an impromptu picnic to watch the fireworks! On our walk to the park, there were many pretty food trucks selling food. We were totally spoilt for dinner choices but amidst the options, we ended up with usual fried chicken for dinner. Note to self: Never get the hubby to decide dinner, we always end up with the safest yet boring option.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">
</span>
<span style="color: #545454; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="line-height: 18.2px;">I was quite hesitant on the idea of going to the festival because I didn't thought fireworks would be anything too spectacular from what we usually get to see. This International festival has proven me right with just 2 hours worth of fireworks but there is really nothing to shout about. What we enjoyed was chilling on our mat with so many people, having dinner and enjoying each other's company. The temperature dipped to a 10°C which left us in an unprepared attire. Nonetheless, we made it back home early to rest for a longer day out the next day! </span></span><br />

(추석)<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I haven't been too diligent with this space because recently, my girls came to Korea to see me! I'd been taking the girls around so it had been a really busy week for me. Before I have the time to talk about my days with them, I celebrated my first Chuseok with the husband! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">It was a really long weekend for the locals and students like me! I spent the actual Chuseok day with my foreign friends in Hongdae and it was so much fun! They brought us to their favourite BBQ place for dinner before hanging out in a board game cafe!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">1. My all-time favourite game with my clique back at home. I'm not too sure what is the name of this toy thou. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">2. Monkeys! Been seeing this game around but never got the chance to play it. Thank god for board game cafes! </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">This game is so cute! Basically, you pick a card and the card will decide how many bones you have to pick up on the dog's bowl. You have to sneakily pick the bones up without waking the snoring dog up. It was really scary waking him up!!! </span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">And so, we got addicted to retarded games like this. Basically just taking turns to take one tooth down. Just don't get bitten by the worm! </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The last game before we left the cafe, which was also the best. The staff filled up water into the whale without letting us know. This whale randomly spits water while the players take turn to fish out of his mouth. The longer you take to fish, the higher chance of getting sprayed all over. We had a really really good laugh until the staff told us to shut up hahaha. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">We ended our night in a HOF! In Korea, HOFs are actually places which serve both drinks and food. HOFs serves a variety of food but the main idea here is still the drinking culture. It was initially a friendly order of 2 sojus with spicy chicken until orders kept going to the waiter and in a flash, we cleared 5 bottles of soju. This is to the start of embracing the drinking culture, yay!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The next day, Bryan and I decided to celebrate Chuseok on our own so we went to Miss Lee Cafe! We ordered Dosirak (도시락) Korea's traditional lunch box and Ddeok (떡). </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Ddeok (떡) is rice cake served in many renditions. The snack we ordered was Songpyeon (송편) which is traditionally eaten during Chuseok! It is literally their pineapple tarts during lunar new year.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I was craving for ice cream waffle so we strolled around the vicinity for a cafe. I think it was Chuseok so many cafes were still out of operation. It was at least 30 minutes of search to find this quaint cafe tucked in a dark alley! The cafe was decorated with so much effort, I especially love their details in every corner. Thankfully they had ice cream waffle on the menu! I just realized that Korea's waffles are always loaded with fruits which is really a less sinful treat. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Last Monday & Tuesday was Chuseok holiday so Bryan & I didn't have school! I'd write soon on how we spent our first Chuseok together. On Tuesday, I went on a study date with my classmate in the afternoon so it wasn't much that I did until school re-opened again. Long weekends never lasted, it was gone as soon as it came~</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Oh! I woke up on Tuesday to a random thought of wanting Mayling to be here with me so I texted her and we came up with the most impromptu decision to get her tickets booked for Friday's flight. I booked her flight and that was it, I'd be seeing her in 3 days time. :></span></div>

I'd be juggling with school, homework & being Mayling's personal tour guide for a week. I also have so much more to write about now because I'm finally moving out of the shell and exploring Seoul again. I'm out very often nowadays so week summaries would be getting really brief. I'm already late with this post, its Monday today! Cassandra is due for Seoul tomorrow, how exciting! October just keep getting better, the best is yet to be.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Some two weeks ago, Bryan and I ended up in this peculiar yet interesting café. We were tired of walking and we needed a drink so we just randomly looked for a place to settle in. </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">When we stepped in, it was nothing but an aisle & a counter. It took us by surprise and we took minutes to digest and understood that the caf</span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">é concept catered mostly private rooms.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">How pretty, right? The cafe is beautifully furnished with mostly white hues for a bright look. We peeped into some rooms to see most students studying while some were on girly dates. It is definitely a conducive environment to mug for exams! Drinks here are slightly pricier but that's probably the price to pay for a private space with your friends. We were in luck because on weekdays till 6pm, every drink comes with a slice of cake on service! Korea's service are the best~ So with the cake, the drinks isn't too pricey after all!</span></div>

Wake up - Go to school - Lunch - Home - Afternoon Nap - Do my homework - Skype my family - Bedtime. It is that mundane and I am definitely getting lazier here than I am in Singapore. Afternoon naps are now mandatory to make up for the early mornings I wake up to. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Budae Jjigae here is slightly different from the ones we usually eat. Over at Sim Seun Tang, whole ox-bones are used to make the soup stock hence it is more flavourful. We really enjoyed this rendition because the soup was thicker and tastier. Another interesting twist to enjoying your meal is adding butter & soya sauce to your rice so it enhances the flavour of your staple. I like how they make effort to improvise this traditional popular Korean dish yet retaining the essence & meaning of it. I'd be back on a cold chilly night~~~</span></div>
