When In Seoul. Conclusion.

hold up! you think I am done?

You thought wrong. I need to share to you my thoughts on about going to Seoul.

Hi.

Yes, I am not done yet! but really this will be the last of this series.

So, my self Q&A for Seoul Trip.

1. How was it?

It was a good experience. for first-timer, I think I did well with the planning. 👍🏻


2. What I don't like about Seoul?

• Obviously I don't mean the entire city. but from where I've been, I'm gonna say, I don't like riding the train during rush hour. not gonna even try to compare it to Japan rush hour. like, no.
• For some reason, I came across a lot of snobbish young adults, or even older. Like, apakan? Tinggi sangat kah darjat mu that you have to look down on me?
• THOSE. FUCKIN. CULT. DUO. I'm serious about that mini anxiety attack I got every time I remembered it.

3. What I like about Seoul?

• Kind ahjummas. During my research, I read a lot about angry ahjummas and prepared myself for it. But surprisingly, they were the most kind and sweet people I met in the entire trip.
• Korean Skin Care products so accessible! and those Free Gifts upon purchase are real.
• Being approached by fellow Muslim who are Korean. one time, in subways, an ahjussi bagi Salam to us and we without hesitation jawab and he calmly introduced himself "I'm Korean Muslim". I just bowed my head and smiled. Sometimes those little gesture from strangers calm me.

4. Will I'll be planning to go back?

Maybe. but as mentioned in previous post, I have mini anxiety attack when I think about the CULT and heavy traffic on the train during rush hour. COZ ONE TIME! I LITERALLY BOUNCED OF AN AHJUSSI TUMMY OUT OF THE TRAIN! not a good memory! I ACTUALLY STOPPED AT A TIANG AND HUGGED IT! I WAS THAT TERRIFIED! 

I don't know man. Maybe its just me with my anxiety around crowded area. BUT IT WASN'T THIS BAD WHEN I WAS IN JAPAN. AND I WAS ALONE!

I don't know. Maybe if I went there with a guy friend or with a bigger group, maybe I will consider it.

and with that, I'll end this series here with a videoclip that was released in the beginning of my Kpop craze; 

Super Junior & Girls' Generation - SEOUL.

hmmm.. I might come back. there are places in this MV I didn't get to visit.

Where Shindong and Sunny met

That Han River Bridge thing.

I am Back. part 4 (Final)

a/n: Hello. another long post. I am sorry for this unpleasant rant reading.
 (￣。￣)～ｚｚｚ

. . .

I bought myself a pop vinyl; Harry Potter, the night before at the Century City Mall. I wanted to buy all the golden trio (Harry, Ron and Hermione) but my Pesos could only buy me two at that time. I really don't one to miss out one of them. So in the end, I decided to just buy Harry's for now.

I shall complete my collection the next time I go Singapore xD

the next day Sunday, 16th..we woke up early as per norm during that Getaway, had breakfast and watched TV. there was a loud explosion (we were actually surrounded by construction areas) and the power was down. that was when we finally decided to just finish packing and go down to the lobby and wait the others there.
people were already waiting by the time we got there. some left their luggage and went out for some last minute shopping so we follow suits.

we lepak at Coffee Bean and after that round again the small shopping mall until we met our colleagues and they told us there are some more shopping place at other part of the nearby area. like, whaaaaa.. it was our first time and we didn't really know the way. So, we went to this other area but not much kadai open because it was only 10am. lucky the gift shop opened early and i spent some of my money there.

we went back to the apartment lobby and waited. we were supposed to leave at 12 coz our flight was at 3pm. but like the rest of their 'organizing' unit, we waited until 12:30pm and had to rush to the airport. we literally ran out of the van, (of course we properly thank our awesome driver who'd been driving us around) thru the custom and when we checked in our luggage, baru tah kami relax. we were down to our last pesos and i spent them on last minute dried fruits and keychains. LOL that finish-your-foreign-money moment.

the airport was small, like how our BIA used to be. not that our BIA now is any bigger. but i feel kind nostalgic and sad. was that how foreigner used to think of our airport? T.T

our flight was half an hour delayed. we boarded the plane at around 2:30pm and I got nauseated right away and slept until around 3:30pm and still we were not in the air. this was when i got sick real fast and had a hard time finishing my food. even drinking sour apple juice didn't help my nausea. One of the steward asked me "inda biasa (flying) kah?" and I said, "inda jua. baru2 tah ni" and he smiled. He must've thought that I was pregnant. ☉▵☉凸
By the time we landed, it was official; I was sick. again. probably resuming itself after been put on hold for the vacation. (〃^∇^)ﾉ

I should've seen it coming plang coz during that trip, I was nauseated everytime I was in a moving vehicles. Like, if I didn't close my eyes, I would have vomited. hahaha Yeah, I guess that nausea thingy did make it sound like I was having a morning sickness or something. hahaha ↁ_ↁ

In conclusion, minus the annoying organizational skill, the trip was ok.  Me and Super were having our own fun despite all our annoyance. I'm sure you all can tell from our pictures. 

what was that saying? When life give you lemon, make lemonade? 
No, that doesn't sound right with what we've been thru. 
it was more like making the most of the things you are given.

*nod* 

. . .

That is the last of my Manila Trip posts. 
Once again, I apologize for making you go thru this heartache of a trip with me.
hahaha 
I mean, I am sorry. I just wanted the virtual people to know that I was really annoyed by it.

maybe I shouldn't go travelling with large group of people ~(⊕⌢⊕)~





. . .

He shouldn't have

went on a movie 'outing' with a colleague last couple of weeks. Lelaki. and just us two.

at first, I thought, nyeh normal outing, mcm sama cZawir.

but as soon as we met at the agreed meeting place, boy was I wrong.

ok, maybe I am reading too much into this but there were serious 'hitting on' that night. I wont go into details but it was so creepy and embarrassing to say the least.

If he agreed that that night was just a normal 'colleague' movie outing, he shouldn't;

• Suggested to me that I should wear a shortlegged coverall with knee-high socks when I was wearing a longsleeve tshirt and bertudung. Excuse me? were you embarass about my appearance? I said I wouldn't read too much into it but it is still offensive.
• He also shouldn't have suggested how I can cover up before going out of the house and changed once outside. Because, I may not be that close with my mom but we have an unspeakable trust between us. and i have never deceived her that way.
• Let me carry the tray of food from the counter to our seats. I know. to some, maybe this is nothing. but to me, it's THAT big of a deal.
• Hide the fact that he was not officially broken off his engagement. (I know he was engaged. I heard rumors that he wasn't anymore and before the movie outing, I asked him 'tunang mu ok inda?' to which he shook his head and I didnt press on becoz I don't want to seem insensitive about the subject. You know, mana tau ia broken hearted kh, bru di putusnya tunang kh. but stupid me! I should've known better. 'Org Gila' said the same thing, didn't he? and he didn't actually broke it off, did he? JUST. STUPID.) and had me guarded the whole night. scared that I would be a victim of 'kana tampar mengajut' and called 'perampas tunang orang' or something. I was mostly embarass about this part. more embarrass than when I was carrying the tray. ARGH! MEN ARE SO STUPID!
• have treated me like I was that easy. coz, I would've kick your sorry ass, if you thought that your sap story about your relationship would make me all sorry and all over you. 
• have make me feel so stupid about myself. Coz, I am not stupid.

But most of all, I shouldn't have agreed to go out with him in the first place. 

I'm not gona again. especially when he kept on bragging about how he didn't approach the girl and it was her who approach him. and that I was offering him to watch the movie instead of the other way round. I reminded him, of course, that it was his idea, not mine. 

ARGH! what. a. duche!

thank you man, for making me feel so stupid.

this should be a reminder to all that, don't be like me. Ok? I trust people too easy despite me being guarded and all. just do what Professor Moody told us to do, "Constant Vigilant!"
 
why can't genuinely good man ever happened to me??

. . .

bad memories

bad, horrible (although faint), memories kept creeping back into the back of my head lately and i feel so embarrass and it makes me want to cry. sigh. i guess putting them into words (a.k.a. my diaries) was such a bad idea. at least putting down the embarrassing one was. tsk. what to do? already happened.

lucky I learned at such a young age.

remembering it, makes me want to punch something or scream out and hit my head to the wall.

but doin that wont change a thing.

they happened and there's nothing that you can do but to accept and then learn from it.

Glad I learned early.
