I've got my heart set.
♥ 5:35 PM
Hello peeps!
First week of school, completed!
It's gonna get more busier than ever!
So far, school is really hectic.
I somehow feel exhausted whenever I arrive at school =\
Anywayxzxzxz, school this week was alright. My gut feelings tells me that next week will be worse.
Today, we had a 4hrs break, we went off to Swensen to celebrate Zhareena's & Sandhya's birthday! Ice cream was soooo good.
Credits: Peh chen :)We had HBD lessons, making plasticine. It's so hard to get that rubber-ly feeling off your palms =\
Oh and Mr Tan told us that we may have the chance to go on a study trip to Japan!!!
YAYY. I'm definitely in if everyone's in! Everyone, we have to go (if the price is reasonable)!!!
&&&
Grats to DL peeps :D :D :DAnd, some random pictures from Korea~♥♥♥

Better Out Than In, Sunflower, I'll Tell Him
♥ 11:51 PM
Some randomness to blog about.
I made this a few weeks ago, all thanks to
aiwa-9 of DA :D It's an overly burnt toast bread keychain.
AND, lately, I have been Sim-ing!!! Since my brother recently got all the expansion packs, I'd thought I'll play, despite the ridiculously large size. My C. drive was left with only 50+ MB, and I had no choice but to move some files to the other drive.
My lastest creation, The Ebony! It's a vacation house, located in a mountain resort. As you can tell from the name, this house is made entirely of wood. The other side of the garden is not completed though.
A cozy living room~
Study & game room :) It's my favorite room~
And, the bedroom. It's kinda plain, but I'm trying to "get" ideas from other creators ;)
Moving on with reality, as everyone knows, school is starting soon.
Here we go again :(

South Korea - Part V
♥ 10:55 PM
Hello people.
Yesterday, I met up with QF an hour earlier before meeting the rest.
Walked around, ate and got myself a nice luggage tag :)
Then off we go to watch a drama produced by CHC.
And...! I get to see people whom I haven't seen for almost a year!!!
Grace, Alicia and Shamus tagged along,
with other people like Raymond, etc.
It was nice catching up with all of them :)
Photos by GraceNow, on to the
Korea trip. I shall overcome my laziness and finish it once and for all!!!
SEVEN - Seoul
This day was a pretty long one. Half of the time, we were shopping.
The streets of Seoul.
Haha! I saw this~!
Then, we stopped by at Changdeokgung palace. It's a beautiful place, with mountains and hills at the back of it.As usual, it was very windy = cold. This was the palace where the king once lived. The style of the buildings are of the Joseon Dynasty.
I like this. Those pillars seems endless. There was this little booth where you can try out the tradition costumes. Haha, auntie looks cute in it.
One of my fav. snacks!!! I can't really explain the taste, but the cover says its cheese flavored.
Some powerful person's home. Not sure who, but I think its some minister's? Then, we head off to the Ginseng place, where Mum spent a bomb and I was sooooooooo pissed >:(
Sigh, shall not talk abt it :(
Next was the amethyst factory.
Myengdong Shopping district! The whole street was dedicated to the shoppers. It was so crowded!
Then, we went to Itaewon, another shopping area. Not much photos cause we're too busy shopping.
Grilled beef. Korean restaurant are really generous with their servings. You can keep asking for buckets of beef!
After dinner, we went to watch an amazing performance called "Break Out"! It's a comedy breakdancing drama. Their dancing skills are O_O wow. The show was 1h1/2 long, so we reached the hotel late. Oh, what an exhausting day.
EIGHT - Seoul
I hate leaving :(
Last breakfast :( lol~ sounds like I'm on death row.
That day weather was misty and gloomy =\
My feelings were exactly the same.
Once breakfast was done, we went to a comestic shop to try out some products.
The salesperson gave us some lotion and told us to rub our hands.
Then my brother exclaimed, "why are there tissues appearing on my hands!"
LOLLLL, it was actually dead skin! HAHAHAAH
Oh, and we got some freebies :)
We dropped by at a mart where I bought chocolates and some biscuits (again).
We had to rush, or else we'll miss the flight (which i would love to)
Reached InCheon airport. AHHHHHH :(
*plays violin*
Then, we hugged and said goodbye to Mr. Park.
Thanks for taking care of us!~
Then, we saw this. AHAHA. Mum wants me to take a photo of him. She's nuts about him -_-
And I guess that's all =(
Overall, Korea is really enjoyable. I really had a blast there. Sigh, words cant' explain. I WILL go back there one day. WILLLL!

South Korea - Part IV
♥ 10:24 AM
My maid is going home tomorrow :(
2 years goes by quickly, eh?
SIX - Seoul
First stop, Paper Museum~ Nothing really nice to see here
I particularly like this one. Beethoven!
As I was walking back, I saw some very-pink Sakuras!!! *feels lucky*
I saw light pink ones just before, & this pink is much prettier!
Wine store was our next stop! Saw some lovely dried roses, toasted under the sun. Mum bought a mini kimchi urn for 7000won. Cheap! Dad said it looks like a urn to put people's ashes =|
We went to Herb land after that. ^If I'm not wrong, that's the mint herb plant? or is it the apple mint? Still, they all smell so good. The boss of the place came to greet us, and he soooooo funny! "WOOOOOW"~
Jajangmyun! Oh gosh, from the picture, it looks disgusting. It's black bean noodles, and its kinda sweet. Not bad, but after eating too much, i felt sick.
Went to Everland, a themepark, in Seoul (?)! Took us 2 hrs to get here. This is the place where it started snowing. It was quite quiet, maybe cause it was a weekday.
A cradle. lol~
Snow on camera lens.
We're really lucky. Seeing snow in Spring!
I was wearing non-long pants, and I only had 1 jacket with me and no other warm clothings!
Eventually, I went to buy a cute winter cap and a kiddy pair of gloves.
Snow! Okay, its too small to be seen. They look like dandruff instead (ew). AHAHHAAH
A lioness on top of the car!
We took the safari ride. This bear is hugeee (and fat)! When it stands, it reaches the bus's window!
Ahhh~ this dinner is special. Not korean food this time but a buffet!
Oh, this buffet is good. It has a large varitey of food. From sushi, to Nachos, to sashimi, to cakes, to everything!
Cookies! Oh, they're good, but kind of hard. I guess cause it was left out there for too long =\
They have all sorts of tea too!
Oppsy, my hand.
Know what's the best part? Desserts!!!!!!!! I ate my meal for 15mins, and then got my dessert while everyone else was still eating their main meal. AHAHAHAH
Off to the hotel. This hotel is the best, of all I've stayed. The room looks sleeek~
Then, off to night shopping/walk with aunties! They can really shop!
The shops close at 4am, imagine that.
We went deeper into the area, and couldn't figure out the way back. Moreover, it was realllly cold since it was alraedy midnight. I felt as if my organs were contracting :s
Thanks to some nice locals, we found our way back :)
By the time we got back, it was already 1am. Somehow, SOMEHOW, I can sleep really well whenever I'm at overseas, like within a few minutes, I'm as dead as a log. At home, it's soooooo hard to fall asleep. Maybe cause of the cold weather? *packs bag to migrate*

South Korea - Part III
♥ 11:12 PM
FIVE - Gyeongju/Jeonju
Went to a convenience store with Mum to get more snacks. Haha, food is probably one of the things I shop for the most.
Pink Sakuras! I only saw white ones in Japan :)
Head off for breakfast, and then went for a morning walk with brother. The wind was soo cold that my fingers feel as if they can break off any moment, but the air is really fresh
Met this birdy~
Then, we drove off to our next destination, which I don't know where. All I know what that it was a really long ride, approx. around 3 hours.
Then, we stopped by at the rest area where we were greeted by the amazing view! This is something you cannot find in M'sia/S'pore!
A korean wishing 'well'! Make a wish, and put a stone of it!
Unique, isn't it?
Visited some tradition korean houses in Jeonju Hanok Village. The area is sooo nice and peaceful. There's even a mini lake, stretched right till the end.
A super friendly dog and its owner. It plays with anyone who walk pass.
We played some tradition korean games, such as this! I failed.
This skipping rope game was funnnn. Auntie fall after her first jump, LOL! A few nice locals joined us for the games, and they're good!
Next, we went to a SPA! Soaking your legs in hot water in an open enviroment is seriously relaxing. went to try 3 different saunas, including the cold sauna at 6 degree.
We kept switching from hot sauna to the cold ones. It's kinda fun! No photos because cameras are not allowed. The reason is obvious, lol. I secretly took a picture of the lockers though ;)
Sauna-ed till 6, and we head off for dinner! Argh! Something frustrating happened. I was eating some kimchi pancake, with the soy sauce at the bottom and I lost my grip (of the chopstick) and down went the pancake into the soy sauce & 'SPLAT', I've got soy sauce all over my jacket >:(
Overall, this day was quite a short one. Nevertheless, it was still fun, especially the skipping part :)
