When In Seoul

possibly, this is part 1 of 5? Possibly. Let's hope I don't get lazy by the end of this post. 😆

Hi guys.

I finally gather enough energy to make post about the time when I went to Seoul in Feb 2019.
I really can't explain why I keep proscrastinating to post. But in all honesty, it's probably only becoz I was lazy LOL
Here I am tho, not being lazy and ready to share memories of my first ever trip to Seoul.

Let's start.

. . .

Knowing me, I would want to visit anything SHINee related place as soon as I land in Seoul! but of course, our flight landed in the afternoon of 11th Feb 2019 and even on my itinerary, I gave ample time to rest. thus, SHINee can only happen the next day, 12th Feb 2019.

So, Day 2 in Seoul.

I went with my friend by the way. I was not on a solo trip. I wish. but no. for good reason. (confirm buat few more parts for this LOL) anyway,
based on my itinerary, we left our hotel, at around 10am to go to SMTown Coex Atrium at Coex Mall in Gangnam. and we arrived there at around 11am

but as excited as I was, the SMTown Atrium actually opened at 11:30am, so now we wait.

It was so cold by the way! I forgot how cold but it was so cold! like! I don't remember it being that cold when I went to London back in 2009. 
Point of me telling you about this is becoz, my phone died on me (later on I found out that my battery life depleted and needed to be changed). Lucky my friend was there to take picture and lucky I brought my sony digi-cam along too.

anyway, I held hand with Onew.



There was a wall of brass plagues right on the side of the entrance. Its the hand mold of SM artists.

look at my tiny digi-cam

While still waiting, among the pillars, a few more people arrived. 

crossword: find SHINee


One of them approached me asking, "are you a Shawol?"
Me being the scardy cat that I am, answered hesitantly, "I am"
She explained that she thought I was one becoz of my head scarf color. LOL and proceeded to give me a support gift for Key.


I was so touched, I was speechless. Like, thank u. I didn't expect to meet fellow Shawol on this trip. Let alone to meet one at SMTown Coex!
We get to know each other a little; she was from Malaysia and she was in Seoul for Key's mini fanmeet/concert at the SMTown theatre (I was aware of this event but I didn't bother try and get the ticket of. coz yes, they sold out in minutes. and with my kind of internet, I really don't stand a chance) which was why she was distributing the support gift. She was actually leaving Seoul that night.

I only opened the gift when I get back home in Brunei.


it was a mini banner. 09.23 is Key's bday 23rd Sep. Yes, me and him, September babies. 💕💕


the IG tag was Brenda. well I thought it was IG. but turned out it was Twitter handle Brendaaa1104. So, thank u, Brenda. You made my day!


Onward!

We went inside as soon as the door opened. I was taking picture as soon as I get to the merchandise floor but the worker was like 'No picture'-juseyo~ and her hand like this 🙅 and I was like "Sorry" and proceeded to take picture more discreetly LOL

well, as you well aware by now, my my 2018-2019 got erased, meaning, I don't have that much pictures to share. but I did manage to salvage some. So here they are:




These pictures don't do justice to the place. but that is all you're gonna get. Thank my USB extension being faulty and wiped out my photos. ARGHHHH.

and here are the things I bought:

Onew's monster magnet, SHINee chocolate, SHINee Gangnam doll, NCT U Boss Pen, Taemin Want Album, EXO's Keychain. and that "wanna be" picture with Onew. LOL rasa jua bah ahh~~


We didn't stay long at the Atrium. We went out checked the Starfield Library which is just next wing from SMTown Atrium. 

this is not my photo.


It was part library/part bookshop in the middle of a mall? It was pretty to look at but it was noisy? I saw children actually doing their homework at some parts of that place tho. I was not feeling it.
I went to a Kakao store near by soon after.
Liat2 saja. obviously every thing in that store were cute! but I was on a budget and I already splurged on SM merchandises. so, yeah. *cuci mata

I mean, kid, noona trying to take picture here. Move


and we left soon after that. We went to Namsan Tower next.
which I'm gonna continue on the next post.
See you there
annyeong~
