UTM 53rd Convocation

On 3rd of November 2014, I am officially graduated from UTM.

But the thing is, I didn't have that excited feeling. Probably because I am doing my Master right now. Yeah. Probably. Maybe.

Achievement Unlocked : A Bachelor Degree. :)

Going Home (?)

Trip to Seoul

Day 1 : To Incheon We Go
Day 2 : Wandering Around in Gwanghwamun
Day 3 : Amused by Technology and Fashion
Day 4 : Fun Day in Lotte World

Day 5 : Shot til Drop in Myeong-dong

On the sixth day on my trip, I decided to stay at the guesthouse. My flu was getting worst. It's better for me to rest for a while. I just slept for the whole morning waiting for Amy and Mira to come back. Amy and I had decided to do some photoshoot in this free-day.

Soooo, I'm gonna skipped the sixth day as nothing much happened. 
Let's talk about our day 7, the last day before our flight back to Malaysia. 

*

On our last day, we went to Itaewon. What's so unique about this day was, we all went to Itaewon by wearing Baju Kurung and the guys were wearing Baju Melayu. 

So Malaysian. Lulz.
When we entered the train, all eyes were on us. I didn't know what to feel. Embarrassed? Proud? Even this ahjumma who had her eyes on her smartphone were looking at us.  

The first thing in my mind was 'meat'. It's been a weak since I ate fresh meat. Before we took our lunch, we went to the Central Korea Masjid, the only mosque in South Korea (I guess so). We did some Salam Perantauan video, the SCV Saje version and the guys stayed there as they need to perform their Jumaat prayer. 

Bajet study oversea la konon nak buat Salam Perantauan.

And as for the ladies, we all went to fulfill our stomach needs. I ate at Mr Kebab.

Chicken Kebab

I scream for ice-creammm.

During the Jumaat prayer, I sat at the women's prayer room. The khutbah was about Ramadhan and it was translated into 3 languages - Arab, English and Korea. 

Our next pit-stop right after Itaewon was Namsangol Hanok Village. I went there for a while as I need to rush to Myeong-dong to do some currency exchange and did my final shopping spree in Namdaemun (Wooribank currency rate was quite cheap though). FYI, Namdaemun closed at 6PM. So, you guys better be fast when you wanna do your shopping there.

During night time, I wanted to finish all my KRW cash. I had exactly KRW 3600 in my T-Money and KRW 14000 in my purse. So, we (me, Fai, Amy and Timah) ended up using our KRW to wander around near the guesthouse.

We all went to a few coffee shops there. It was amazing. The environment was different from here. Most of the coffee houses there were 3-storey building and each one of it has its own design which can attract the customers to hang out with their friends there. 

Here in Malaysia, the barista will call out your name if your drinks are ready. However, in Korea, they will give you a disc upon payment. This disc will buzzed and light up once your drinks are ready to go.

Aahhh.. I just love the technologies and innovations in South Korea. 

When will I go there again?

Teddy Bear Cafe

Cat Cafe. Tak sempat pergi ziarah situ.

Wandering Around in Gwanghwamun

Trip to Seoul

Day 1 : To Incheon We Go

Day 3 : Amused by Technology and Fashion
Day 4 : Fun Day in Lotte World

Day 5 : Shot til Drop in Myeong-dong
Day 6 : Going Home (?)

The view of Gyeongbokgung palace from outside the gate.

On our second day in Seoul, we went to the Gyeongbokgung Palace. It was a very BIG place. If you wanna go there during summer, don't forget to bring along an umbrella and a bottle of water with you. 

We arrived there just in time to watch the performance by the guards of the palace. When watching the show, we can imagined how the ceremony held by the guards long time ago. The show is free but if you wanted to go inside the palace, just prepared KRW 2400 for the entrance fee (this only applied if you go there in group trip ticket).

One of the guard will played the big drum indicates that the show were about
to start.

The guards entered the palace.

Somewhere near the palace.

Panglima garang !

This museum is inside the palace territory. 

After the visit to the palace, we went to Gwanghwamun Square. We were lucky on that day because there were a street performance on martial arts. It's quite awesome though. I was preoccupied watching the performance and they gave a can of Redbull for each audience. 

After watching the performance, we went to try the King outfit at that very place for free. That ahjumma called us all 'yeapo'. Goshh... *blushing*
Here's some of the photo at Gwanghwamun Square.

The 16 of us.

A photo with ahjumma. Saranghae ahjumma. :D

Our lunch.

After we had our lunch, we all went to Namsan Tower. We divided ourselves into 2 groups. One group went there by bus while the other one went up there by cable car. Me. I used the cable car. The price for the cable car was KRW 6000 for one way and if you wanted to buy a return ticket, the price would be KRW 8000. It's your choice.

After reaching up there, we were amused by the environment. So, this is the famous dating spot in Korea (I guess so). A lot of couple 'lock' their lock up there. I took my marker and scribble my name and our initials at the lock, chair, glass and etc. 

LULZ..

SCV Saje. My class.

We arrived early so we can do a little shopping which was buying kasut raya for Aly.

She had so many choices to choose and finally, I had enough. I picked up one black ballerina shoes and showed it to her. She loved it and asked the sales assistant to find her size. -.-

Kids nowadays. tsk tsk. Tuija bahh.

20 minutes before break fast, we went to the poolside and rushed to get our foods. My oh my. It was a full house there.
