小巴惊魂

Have you ever seen how hong kong ppl take xiao ba? i remember there was one movie starring Sammi Chen where she was a xiao ba driver and the life of being a xiao ba driver...tough life!!! well, it isnt easy being a passenger too.... On Friday, i waited for my usual xiao ba to come...in HK, u could get on the xiao ba anywhere as long as it's the route of your xiao ba....as usual, i walked to the street where my xiao ba would pass by....1st, i saw a couple waiting for the bus from afar, so i walked towards their direction...just after a while, i saw our xiao ba coming...naturally, i let them go 1st..oh ya, for xiao ba, no one is allowed to stand...everyone has to be seated...if there are two of u, and only one seat is available, then too bad...u split or u take the next one...well, as a courtesy, i let them go 1st..so i waited and waited and waited for a bus..then there was this lady, who saw me waiting, she stood a few feet ahead of me....so we waited and waited...finally, we saw the bus...she waved and i waved...naturally, the bus stopped in front of her...then i quickly walked to the xiao ba...and saw tat there was only one seat left...the stupid lady took advantage of the situation and she quickly paid for the fare....i yelled at her, "hey, im here 1st!!!" then she said "then how? i have already paid"...i said "i waited for very long time already!!!" so i quickly dumped my money into the pit and sat down...then she said, as if it was my fault....that she would leave....i thought...if not? should i be the one to leave???? crazy woman...who cares abt her stupid money...she was the one at fault, lack of manner!!! then the HK ppl started to say how could i do this since she already paid..bla bla bla..well, this ppl dono wat is right or wrong and i was lazy to argue w them....我没和他们一般见识， 反正我不痛不痒...my goal is to reach home as soon as possible so that i could pack...im surprised at myself too...hehehe...i guess i was desperate already...i need to get home to pack!!!

US adventure

Finally, i arrived at Berwyn, a city 40 minutes from Philadelphia...it was drizzling and i felt nervous...why as you may wonder...because i have to drive in US...yeah, you heard me right, i was gonna drive on the left hand side as opposed to the right hand side~~~i was afraid that i would drive on the wrong side of the road PLUS i don't know the way...so i got a car with GPRS.... It was good fun, i basically have to multi-task (1) i have to keep reminding myself that i have to drive on the right hand side, not left hand... (2) have to concentrate and make sure i dont make the wrong turn or miss the turn....(3) have to worry about just driving in US...i kept asking my colleague if im on the right side....well, we did got lost a few times but luckily, we got to the hotel safely...

my 1st time ^^y

Next Monday, i will be flying to US for a week...this time, i finally have the chance to take business class and it's cathay pacific...i have heard from my friend millions of times how comfy and luxurious cathay's business class is...and i'm very excited coz it's my 1st time :) i'm now full of imaginations and excitement, hopefully it will turn out to be a great flight....this time, i did a safety check, i asked my colleague to help me check the dates and the time to make sure that i'm leaving on time (No more going to the airport 24 hours earlier than my flight or 24 hours late to my flight~~~) i downloaded some pictures from the website for preliminary enjoyment and let me share with my friends :)

• This is gonna be my chair for 16 hours..my very own chair :)

This is what i will look like in the plane~~~ ('o')

• is this gonna be my meal? oh oh, how could i lose weight before i go back to kuching? hehe..so ppl, you will understand right? ^^

Oh, but it's still quite tiring to make the trip next week....it will be two LOOooooong two weeks before i go back to kuching...

2. Have to get used to Jetlag...US is now 13 hours behind~~~
3. i have to drive on the left hand side for 40 mins from philedelphia to Berwyn, and i will be driving everyday to/fro work~~and i don't know how to use GPRS~~~
4. Coming back on Friday, the 14th....reaching HK at 7pm
5. wake up at 545am again on Sunday to go to Shanghai to do interview...(Tiring ar.....and boring~~~ @@)
6. wake up at 545am again to go to Shenzhen from shanghai.....and have to finish my section in the that week~~~

Tiring right? but i enjoy it :) Airport is the usual place i visit...hehehe..i don't mind staying in HK airport coz of the amount of things i could do...i always don have enough time...hehehe..and this time, i could use the business longue...now one problem...i don't know where it is in the airport...ehhehee

the love of my life~~~

Went shopping with my friends from australia on saturday~~~it was such a fun time...i remember back in Uni, about 7 years ago, the only things in our agenda were:

• lectures & tutorials
• assignments and exams
• stress
• talk about boys and girls, esp the famous "disgusting" couple (FYI, this couple did weird things in the class...what was engraved in our brains was this incident: we were having microeconomic lecture one fine afternoon...our lecture hall was in a half circle shape...so anyone sitting on the side of the semi circle would be able to see everyone in the middle and on the other side and of cozzz, the lecturer and slides...well, we spotted this couple, again, during the class...i guess the lecturer mentioned something which excited the guy...the guy actually put his hands in the gal's top, and started to explore....ooh...i know it was free porno..but let me tell u...IT WAS DISGUSTING... because the main actor didnt look like brad pitt and the main actress didnt look anything like angelina jolie :p (well, to be fair, both of them are too high of a standard...but still~~~~anyway, i am off topic..let's get back to wat i'm trying to say...^^)
• what we tried to do most of the uni time was to escape as many lectures as possible and go shopping...hahaha...

Too bad we couldnt gather all the gang members to meet in HK..so i shopped with cclia :) cclia was looking for a pair of boots, so we walked and walked and walked...finally, she found a pair she likes...yay....mission closed...only after we got the boots tat we realised we were so exhausted..so we decided to sit down and relaxed....so i brought my friends to ITALIAN TOMATO...i love cakes from italian tomoto...tat's where my blackforest cake from previous post was from :) yummy~~~

we got two cake set...gosh...i couldnt made up my mind which one to have...they all looked so lovely~~~i took some pictures....there...i wanna share with my friends~~~

(Love 1: Strawverry cheese cake....i love anything with strawberry and cheese :p)

(Love 2: mango strawberry cake~~~i'm hungry just thinking of it)

it's been ages

It's been ages since i last updated my blog....well, life isnt that interesting anymore since Oct....that's because i didn't travel over the weekend anymore and i don't have any inspiration for writing...my principal is, i shouldn't write if i have no inspiration :) but today, i got a mail from my good friend that i havent been updating my blog for soOOooo long....*sob* *sob* *sniff* *sniff* :') my faithful reader :) i must not disappoint my friend ^^ well, since jenn has recently just came bek from BJ, let me share with u my trip in BJ back in Oct 2006 as well~~~ Enjoy~~~

my birthday cakes

i turned xx a week ago...yup, im officially less young but not old enough to be called old ^^ people always said, age does not matter...age is just a number..you have to feel young in order to be young..so, i'm trying to feel young by:

• stopping my age at 25....yeah, i could have 5o or 100 more birthdays and i'm still 25 ^^y
• no, my IQ is still growing eventhough i have decided to stay at the age of 25....nothing can beat a high IQ...it's sexy~~~
• do a lot less "facial exercise" so as to reduce the appearance of wrinkles :p (no botox needed at the moment, i don wanna look like michael jackson yet)
• do a lot more exercise to reduce weight..if not reduce, then maintain my weight...metabolism is getting slower eventhough i have decided to stay at the age of 25....:p my body knows my true age but my brain is in denial....haha....
• all of my friends could help me forget that i'm getting older by being in denial as well...heheh..*WINK**WINK*...so boys and girls, you know what to do...hehehe....

this bday cake was bought by my friend...it was yummilicious...im reminiscencing the short moment with my cake...hehehe... *V* it was dark chocolate with strawberry black forest and fresh cream~~~the name itself is delicious.... :p by the way, today is my chinese bday...HAPPY BIRTHDAY JANE N JENNIFER~~~

wiiiIIiiiiiii

it was boxing game that both of them are playing...haha..i think ina made the whole wii session more interesting than the game....honestly, the game is very tiring...we all had sore arms after that and i felt like i was in gym for the whole day...haha...it was really fun ^^y they call it Wii...i call it WiiiIIIiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii~~~~~ (p/s: make sure you turn on your volume to get the best effect :))

DOOOooommmeeeddd~~~

it's been long time since i last updated my blog...i know my friends have been waiting anticipatedly for my new post...sorry guys, i was too busy for the past weeks...

1. have to finish off my work in dongguan so that i could come back to HK on time;
2. have to keep "nagging" at my team member to do her work properly...i do sound like a nanny sometimes....kids~~~ @@
3. have to study for exam...which is 3 days after my birthday (sighhh...how sad...but i'm used to it coz from high school until Uni, our birthday always clashed with exams...no no, shld be exams always clashed with our birthday...poor jennifer and me...that's how we learn to 苦中作乐 ^^y);
4. didnt actually study as i planned to coz i was too tired, too lazy, too xxxx (i have tonnes of excuses for not studying hard enough...so i know my consequences...sigh)
5. busy tidying up my place so that i could make some space to study...ended up, even messier...hehehe...

let me summarise my life for the past weeks:

1. same as items 1 to 3;
2. i declared holiday for myself on 11/11 :) my friends organised a K session for me...we were superstars on tat day..it was fun, we had free flow of food, we sang like mad and to release tension, we played WII until we were more tired than a day in the gym...we ended up having sore shoulders and arms after tennis, boxing and bowling...hahaha...now come to think of it, mayb we shld replace gym with wii instead...TWO THUMBS UP...hehehe...
3. just finished exam today...sigh...bad sign coz i left earlier...i never left earlier in any of my exam..but this one??? "no eyes to see" wish me luck~~~but according to my Accounting lecturer, luck has nothing to do with it...@@ crap!!!

Here are some of the fun i had on my birthday...hope they are infectious enough to make you feel how i felt :) just wanna say: thx friends, for making me so happy and for making me forget abt my exam temporarily ^^y

(ina is having more fun than me~~~hehehe...guess who is under the pillows?)

back to the past

I have been doing OT for the past nights...till 8pm...and tonight, we are gonna stay until 10pm..how sad...it reminds me of my life when i was still in external audit...we just went to buy our tit bits and all of us were saying, this is just the kind of life we used to live and we didnt expect it to return and haunt us after leaving the firm....i couldn't believe as well...sigh...

life as auditors....i used to be proud that i could operate almost all kinds of different photocopy machines...it could be in Japanese, in French or in English...i could work them so well....and i was even more proud that i could fix photocopy machines problems as well, like paper jam and you have to take out the stucked paper in the middle of the complicated engines and i could work the functions well, like enlarging, downsizing, darker or lighter ink etc etc...i know they are simple tasks, but i could do all these on any machines..haha... naaAAaaaaa, im just trying to find the bright side of my miserable life....afterall, audit isnt that bad right? :p....YEAH, right~~~

“一厢情愿“？

I always have a doubt on the underlying meaning of some ppl's word...i'm not sure..mayb my intelligence level is not up to their standards or i just assume too much....let me seek your opinion... Scenario 1: One fine day, when you are deciding what to do on your free day, your friend calls you and tell you that she will (note that i use "will" instead of "is") look for you after she has done with her chores, which is roughly after lunch.... The question is: does this mean you have an appointment with her? Scenario 2: Then after lunch, she came with another friend saying that they are off to do some research for something (which apparently is important) and said she will look for you once the reseach is done. The 1st question is: Is this acceptable as a way of telling you that I have FFK (Fong Fei Kei) you but don't worry, I will look for you after my important research? Is this ok for you? The 2nd question is: Does that mean you have another appointment with her? The 3rd question is: Is it ok to get angry when in 1st scenario, you are FFK and in 2nd scenario, you are only told that she FFK'ed you by bringing someone to your place and that she FFK you again after that, saying that there is no appointment and you are free to do anything you want? Given the two scenarios, would you think you have an appointment and reject your other friends' invitation? THE REAL QUESTION IS: TO EXPECT OR NOT TO EXPECT? IS IT WRONG TO EXPECT?

life is wonderful

I haven't had home cook meal for ages.....everyday, it's either noodles with campbell can soup or just toast with butter or just cereal (eventhough i'm pretty satisfied with such simple meals, i still miss mum's cooking~~) Mum's cooking is the BEST :') These days, i had a lot of good food, different cuisines, different flavours...still, i miss mum's cooking the most..if im not eating at home, i would be eating outside...i have to say..it's 99% outside :( today, i think my prayer is being answered by dua pek gong (大伯公), i have two home cooked meals in a day :') sob sob... one in the afternoon...my housemate's mum is in town and i finally have the privilege to taste her well-known shanghainese cooking....thanks friend..you dono how happy i was today...i couldnt stop eating..and the best part is, i have good dining companions :) ..... another one was at nite time..it was such a feast...my friend cooked chicken rice + steamed fish + vegie + a really really good soup + sambal sauce....it was heaven~~~~ i was so full until i couldnt sit without my button pops out :) thanks friends....you guys made me so happy today~~~ in return, i would like to extend to you my smile of satisfaction...i have never been happier (of coz still miss mum's cooking :) )

BS

went to wall street when i was in NY....it's famous for the NYSE and the bull in the middle of the street....before we arrived, there were tonnes of ppl surrounding the bull...what's so interesting abt bull, particularly the back of the bull? i was curious and was determined to find out the reason....it was mountain ppl mountain sea...i had to charge thru the crowd and look...oh..it was the balls of the bull that caught ppl's attention...haha...there were a bunch of tourists, they were yelling and laughing and excited abt seeing the balls...they took turns to take pictures..some even took a few of it...their pose? holding the balls of the bull with a smile of satisfaction...hhmmm...wonder why balls could make them so happy~~~i waited 10 mins +++ just to take a pic....haha.... (oi oi, what's happening? what's so interesting abt the bull?) (why so many ppl surround the bull? even the back? let's check out the reason) (OIC~~~^^)

fast solution

Kuching always has parking problem...either ppl park on the yellow line or double park? there are a lot of reasons why kch ppl park illegally....

1. they are just lazy to walk, so they just park at any space they could find, be it yellow line or double park.... or they rather waste time and petrol to go round and round and round just to find a space in front of the places that they are going....something i don't understand
2. some ppl might be in a rush to do something
3. some ppl just couldn't find any space to park
4. some ppl think it's just for a short while
5. for various reasons (any other reasons that i haven't thought of)

well, i got a good idea when i was in NY china town...i found something interesting that could help solve problem in kch....*lightbulb* :) initially, i thought it's a car selling place....until i looked very closely....hey, it's parking lot and they are so unique...look at the pic below How interesting~~~this might be a business idea for someone who's looking for something to do in kch~~~yes, i'd like to charge a little bit of commission for the suggestion...thx (^^)y

我与热狗的恋情

After seeing ppl having the delicious New York Hot Dog for x number of times, finally, i had the opportunity to taste it :) yummy..it was DELICIOUS~~~

NY hot dog in my hand....now you see...now you don't...hehehe

飞机惊魂 （下）

I slept like a baby during my 5 hours flight to LA...until i got woken up by the sudden landing of the plane~~well, actually it wasnt sudden landing, juz tat no one announced tat the plane was gonna land and no pre-landing check!! the back of my seat was not up, window still down...wonder where the hell the stewardess were...FYI, i was half asleep for the last 5 mins before landing and was looking at LA on the plane..just tat i fell back to sleep after looking at the lights...they hypnotised me...so the plane was delayed and those with connecting flights had to rush (and i was one of them).... the thing i find annoying abt US...they don't give you good directions...when we were out of the plane, my colleagues and i were so lost coz we didnt know where to go...no sign, and no ppl!!! so we walked around the airport looking for an officer...finally after 10 mins of wandering around, we found someone..."Which way should we go if we are taking Cathay Pacific?" he said: "go out from the door and turn left." "Great, thx" so we did...it was dead end....where to turn? so we asked again...ooo, we have to go of the door and walked 15 mins to another terminal!!! at that terminal, still we couldnt find CX...why why why? it's terminal 4 as told..so we walked around and around....asked again, we have to walk further...gosh, are we a bunch of sua gu? finally, we saw CX planes...you couldnt imagine how happy we were...took half an hr to find the check-in counter..so we happily checked in....happy until when i hear this.

guy: "miss, could i have your change of itinerary slip?" me: "huh? i didnt change my itinerary." guy looked puzzled and checked again. guy: "miss, may i know if this is the updated itinerary?" me: "yeah, i just printed it out and checked in online" guy: "oh? but the system says ur booking is for tomorrow" US: "WHAT???" EYES SO WIDE THAT OUR EYEBALLS ALMOST FELL OUT me: "tat's impossible. let me see." GOSH...it's true...so, even when i checked with cathay pacific that im on cx883, it's still cx883 but for the next day???!!!! US: "Stupid nelson (our travel agent), we said to book us on the same day!!!" Me: "could you pls put me on this flight?" guy: "sorry, this flight is very full. u will have to wait until the next flight. but both flights are very full. the next flight going to HK is tomorrow afternoon. I will put you on standby for the next flight. come back at 1am (ie our 3am HK time) to check" me: "What? no seat? gosh...shit, i might have to stay in airport overnight???!!"

(this is how i felt, but i didnt show it)

so my colleagues left without me...the whole night, i was nervous..what if there is no seat, what if i have to stay in LA airport. i have no internet, no phone, the information counter is closed...worst come to worst, i will find a bench to sleep on...feeling depressed and lost...i waited and waited for the time..

tick tock tick tock..it felt like time was crawling by. i waited at the counter since 1245am..hoping that ppl didnt turn up (i know i was bad, but i was desperate)...but to my disappointment, more and more ppl turned up....feeling worried and scared....i waited in line...after dono how long, it was my turn. i asked the guy if there's any seat for me...he didnt answer me, just keying in info...and i asked again...he said, there's no more aisle seat. I said i don k as long as there's seat. after x mins, he said, oh, u are flying tmr....heart beat faster, no, im on standby, i want to leave on this plane, any seat? he kept quiet and continued to key in...finally he said, i checked u in a window seat...I WAS SO RELIEVED!!!!

eventhough my flight was again delayed for 1.5 hrs, i was stranded at the boarding area for another 15 mins, i didnt k anymore...i was just happy that i have a seat!!! Black Saturday? 1. Couldnt find direction 2. lost for 30 mins 3. empty happiness for hours 4. Almost stranded in LA airport 5. flight delay 6. waited in boarding area for 15 mins before i could board the plane luckily things turned out to be ok....and later on, my colleagues told me there were TWO seats in their flight...crap....i wanna kill the guy....but oh well, i forgive but i don forget... there...tat's my worst experience of US....

飞机惊魂 (part 1)

left US for HK on Friday, the 12th (which is Sat the 13th for HK time)...eventhough i left on Fri, i only arrived HK on Sun morning...crap, i just lost 24 hrs of my time because of flying time and time difference!!! it was a disaster for me for my return~~~i called it my black friday in US and Black sat in HK....why did i say it like tat? let me tell you my story (in indian accent~~ @@) I'm actually very tired...only arrived HK at 830am after a loOOoooong flight...i left US on Friday evening from Baltimore to LA....knowing how tight the security is in US, we arrived airport 3 hours earlier...four of us checked in together, but it took us 40 mins to check in!!!

1. the lady won't stop chitchatting to us. that took us 5 mins!!!
2. She couldnt find my connecting flight. Coz she said my flight No. on the system is different from my flight number on my itinerary. I said couldnt be, it should be cx883, not 881. So she asked me to call Cathay pacific to confirm...so, she gave me only my boarding pass from Baltimore to LA...WITHOUT a seat number....why? according to her, the aisle seat are all taken, i'd only get my seat assigned during boarding time....and all of my colleagues got their seat (and they are not even on aisle seats...tat's something i don understand ????? question marks all over)..that took us another 5 mins!!!
3. my luggage is only 5 pounds over the limit...ie abt 1kg++...the check in lady wanted to charge me for USD50!!! we all went WHAT??? it's only 5 pounds!!! and we wanted to check in together so tat i could utilise their weight...she refused and said "According to the Federal Law, you are prohibited to do so" WALAO...quote me the stupid law? so i had to take my luggage and transfer things to my colleagues. that took us another 5 mins!!!
4. Why am i going to HK, the check in lady wondered...i told her i work there, and she wanted me to prove to her...Does she want my OFFER LETTER? oh man...this is too prudent...it's none of her business why i'm going to HK right? nevertheless, i showed her my HKID just to speed things up...another 2 or 3 mins gone.

Finally, all of us were checked in, we proceed to the security point....LOOOooong Qs...and at that moment, i suddenly felt like i was back in India....sigh..US is just another version of India...ppl do things slowly and too many redundant (or i think redundant) controls....we took of our shoes (be it flip flops, high heels or sport shoes), bags, jackets etc (NO WATER, TQ) and after the whole thing, i felt so tired already...one of my colleagues got picked to do a more detailed "analysis"...he has to go through a vacuum, being wiped from head to toe, then body searching etc etc... After the painful process, i quickly called Cathay pacific to make sure my flight is ok...the conversation went like this: me: Hi, could you pls help me check if im on cx 883 or cx 881 as i have problem checking in at the counter just now. CP: yup, u are definitely on cx883. no mistake. me: Great. Thx for your help Phew, now im sure im on the same flight as my other colleagues...so we proceed to the gate...crap, flight delayed!!! so we went for dinner.... the flight from Baltimore to LA took 5 hours...i slept like a baby in the plane...at least the good thing abt not getting a seat 1st turn out to be ok...i got a nice window seat with no one seating beside me :)

Tired~~

Tired~~~tired even now when im updating my blog....i was so ENERGETIC yesterday when i arrived...arrived JFK Airport at 1.30am (our time or 1.30pm US time) yday....after going through the security, picking up luggage and going thru security again, it was already 4pm (US)....so tired...after i got to the hotel, i was like, hey, im not sleepy at all, and i explored around NYC....i stayed in Queens, and went to NYC for the night...it was AWESON!!! saw and walked onthe streets of NYC, felt the air, felt the atmosphere..hehehee....i will have a lot of pictures posted....but now, im too sleepy to update~~~ :p i'm now in Baltimore, a city close to washington DC...i slept like a baby in the plane....

took me 15 hours to get to NY from HK...luckily the lady sitting beside transferred to another seat as she wanted to sit with her friend, so i got the two seats right beside the window for myself...15 hours felt really long, but i enjoyed myself...except for the uncomfortable seat...i tried to sleep by lying down, but it was a bit small for me...ended up having painful butt and "inactive" blood vessels....i took the pic from the plane..it's supposed to be a part of NY...NY is BIG even from the plane :) i sound like a suagu..hahaha....

subway or complicated way?

Taking subway in seoul is a pain....the place seems so close and yet you have to keep changing lines....in HK, subway is pretty convenient...so i thought, it could be faster to take subway to get to my sis' place..but i was wrong~~~if i took subway, i had to change 4 times and travel for abt 2 hrs to get to my destination...so i ditched the idea and boarded on the bus instead~~~just took me 1.10hrs...long but comfy~~~

complicated mapping of subway....but i was surprised at myself for being able to commute around on my 1st night in seoul...fyi, i got down from the bus at the wrong station and waited for 15 mins for my sis at the wrong station..after a while, i just realised that i waited at the wrong station...eventhough the station is parellel to my sis' station, it took me 30 mins just to get to the destination!!! and i had to change train twice~~~walk very very far (i couldnt imagine underground station could be so HUGE~~~) impressive...

on the contrary, HK's subway is far far simpler...i heard that japan has even worse map than korea....is it to test our intelligence? ahhaha...here are the HK subway map...compare and see the difference :p

All about food

more delicious food in korea....the photos make me very hungry..im practically drooling while posting the pics... I hate weird food esp internal organs, things that i don't know...those who know will know i don eat these things..but this, i eat...yummy worms...hehee..haha..actually, this is made of rice and ginger...i called it little worm rice crackers..they are sweet, sticky and crunchy...they are not cheap ar...i bot a pack for jenn and mum, they are still sitting in my room... :p i almost couldnt resist everytime i see them..so i have to store them elsewhere to prevent myself from finishing them before they reach jenn :p Guess what this is? it's "ham jim beng" in korean style...so yummy~~~ This is my coffee and coke...i was so tired after a day's walking so i relaxed myself in this cute little coffee house..i took a nap there as well...hehehe WAAhhhh...gingseng chicken soup, kimchi, korean pancakes etc etc....look at those hands and u know they are yummilicious~~~ Don't know what this is? hehe..it's korean style fresh potato chips!!! they are freshly fried and dipped in salty and sour powder... Cheese cakes...so soft~~~my sister's friends' treat... :) My korean vegetarian featst

拉面记

there are so many restaurants near my sis' place...but i have no idea what they are selling coz to me, korean is like a bunch of symbols to me...we are strolling around the area, looking for food...we go into this restaurant that looks pretty korean (:p) and there are a few tables of people...hhmm..food should be good...well, i don't speak korean and my sis' korean is pretty limited, we take a look at the menu (well, not tat both of us can understand), so my sis tells the lady what she is best at "RAMEN?" the lady nodded and these dishes came...hhmm...all i could say is, the appetizer taste much better than the ramen and one ramen cost us KRW6,000~~~ Expensive.... After the bad food encounter in the morning, we went to a bread shop...wahhh...those breads look so yummy...just like those we see on tv and pics...too bad i didnt take pictures...they are all in my mind...oohh, i just feel hungry thinking of them :'p...and the street food in Seoul...one word to describe "DELICIOUS!!!"

(menu in korean...could only understand the numbers, the rest just look like symbols to me)

(Free appetizers...yum...green chilli? how to eat oh?)

Hhhmm..looks appealing to me but when i take a sip...well....

My sis gave me the black thing..i dono wat tat is and it doesnt appeal to me..i didnt eat much of the bfast~~

The next morning, we go strolling for bfast again and we find this very small looking restaurant...and this time, we pick one with pictures...so we sit down and my sis points at the pic..yup, we want korean porridge..the lady says something, i just look blank *.....* and my sis is like "pardon?" (in korean) and the lady repeats and my sis repeats..this goes on for a few times..sigghh..we are getting nowhere~~~so this an old man finally translates for us..he says:"too long..." OOoic...so my sis and i look at each other *blank* *blank* and my sis suddenly says "RAMEN? TWO" haha...i think that's the only thing my sis knows how to say :p (in fact, my sis is pretty good...she could say alot of things in korean but guess she hasn't learn how to order in korean yet)...deep inside, i am hoping that it won't be like wat we got the day before...when our ramen comes, surprisingly, they are very good...taste like maggie curry noodle~~yummy...spicy and i finish the soup too....

yummy~~~my favourite bfast
