Feeling Korea (Day 1)

Yay, Korea!! Deep in my heart, I was excited for it although I've gone through many ups and downs throughout the procedure for this summer programme.

My second time to overseas, but this time with a group of people and without parents. 

Arrived KLIA2 around 5am in the morning, lost my way to MCD (LOL, my first time to KLIA2, so yea), waited for everyone else to arrive.

Being a group leader for an international trip is not an easy task. I panicked when some came late because the departure hall was really far. Made sure everyone checked-in then I can walk with peace. 

So, there goes my journey..... we checked-in, walked to the departure hall (in between you have some process and all) and finally we reached Gate 10. Sat there and waited till 740am since our flight is 8am. There were loads of people going to Korea. And wow! our AirAsiaX plane is huge.

~wefie with all the 25 people before we enter the plane~

Last minute changes, we need to move to Gate 8 because they were having some technical problems at Gate 10. We started our journey around 820am and we reached Incheon airport around 330pm (which is 230pm Malaysian time)

 ~we've reached KOREA!!~

Waited to collect our luggage's and there were 2 volunteers waiting for us. Bought a SIM card which could last me for 2 weeks.

Everything is in Korean language (their signs, communication and everything else). I've regretted not learning much last time coz I gave up so easily.LOL

So, we had another 3 more hours by bus to CBNU (Chonbuk National University) which is in Jeonju.

~otw to Jeonju~ 

We reached CBNU around 8pm. What a long journey (7 hours of flight and 3 hours of bus ride)

 ~us in CBNU~

So there were few volunteers there waiting for us, gave us our name tags, room access card and briefed us with some important things. Weather was quite chilly!

~our room~

And yea, this was my room for 2 weeks. Nice right?

It's their hostel for students, which is way far nicer than we had back in UM.hehe

Packed, took a bath, slept. 

Feeling Korea has begun!

Meet up

Yeap, we had a meet up again, err after some time.LOL

Planned a meetup for peeps who are still around KL/PJ (it started with 5 people and then it ended up with 15 people) HAHA

Jack was the one who jio-ed all of us, and we planned a birthday surprise for him.

Quite a hectic week, but everything managed to be done on time. 

~Surprise, Jack!!~

And I do miss my havoc peeps/working peeps.

Jio-ed them for homecooked dinner the next day after the pizza surprise.haha

~my lovelies~

Nice catching up with them after a long time.

Gonna miss em for 2 weeks as I'll be away for some exchange programme.

 ~O-Matcha Tsujiri~

And finally went to Tsujiri to try their green tea stuffs.

Not bad, haha to me, everything also nice.

Throwback

 Throwback~~~

~Hello Kitchen at S17~

The best part was this place is it is owned by Chef Shearson Lian! and his partner.

He's the chef from 5 Rencah 5 Rasa that I used to follow. 

~tour to Petrosains~

Yeap, went to Petrosains with these 2 Science geeks.

And we were there for 7 long hours. HAHA

Never in my life I spent so long in Petrosains.

~Finding Dory~

Watched Finding Dory and it was good!

Managed to kidnap Kit Zai before he goes back and rot.

So hard to persuade him to stay coz he keeps saying he wants to go back.

C and Baby D

YES!! Finally get to meet C and Baby D again after so long!

We had KL/PJ TCF Prayer Meeting yesterday which was held in DUMC.

 ~5 months old Baby D~

Misssssin her so much lor, she is now 5 months. Time flies

Carried her the first time when she was a month old.

 ~us during the prayer meeting~

Most of the teachers couldn't join coz they had activities in school.

Managed to ask Bryan to come along, good opportunity for him to know more people as well in the education field.

~with C and Baby D~

Oh well, I can't wait to have my own kids.

Yes, parenting is not easy but the joy you have when you're with them....

Birthday 2016

I want to thank each and every one of you who celebrated my birthday.

Who was involved in the surprise and planning, I was really surprised!

You guys really brought joy to my life.

 ~birthday celeb from CM~

Went back hometown for a few days since my SV was not in for 3 weeks.

Missin ma home, ma bed and ma parents =D

But because I had to settle lotsa stuffs for the summer program to Korea, i came back PJ on my birthday itself (so sad)

During the evening, there was a huge surprise from all these peeps.

~pizza party~

~thank you everyone. Love u all!!~

My housemates were the one planning it, both MJ and Oli was up to something which I really didn't know and I was kinda blur when they all came.LOL

 ~kumpulan ayam lunch~

With 2 sesat kids (Clem and Vian) haha.

Good to see them.

 ~Dinner at Streat Thai~

Not bad the food. Quite nice, but authentic Thai taste or not not sure.haha

 ~dessert time~

This was after CG, where Naoms craved for sweet stuffs, so we went to Strangers at 47 where they have really good crepes and cakes.

~random lunch meetup~

My SV was having a workshop so I jioed them for lunch.

Edmond just finished his IELTS exam that time so he was in time for lunch with us. 

Really good to spend time with everyone although it was short =D
