So fast we have reached the last instalment of the seoul grad trip blogposts :(
DAY 5
Day 5 was running man day hahaha we did a number of running man related things (ok maybe just 2 LOL but still)
Dabaoed bread from tous les jours the night before, so that we can eat on the way to SBS building
Stop #1: SBS building
the building we always saw on runningman hahahaha
WE FINALLY GOT IN HAHAHAHA after like circling the building once and probably looking super super suspicious. There were security guards at the entrances and we had no idea if we were able to just walk in or would we be stopped if we tried to lol. But in the end we walked in while attempting to camouflage ourselves amongst a group of staff members hahah. On this day it was the supposed filming date of the Big Bang episode, and claudia the running man analyst (omg i had trouble spelling this word damnit) concluded that they would either film the opening here at SBS building or at some ulu 鸟不生蛋 place, and so we went to SBS building in hope of meeting running man (and big bang maybe lolz). Tried desperately to connect to wifi to see if people met them elsewhere or should we just continue waiting. In the end we just waited for an hour lol and left without meeting them :( Turned out they were at gyeonggido or smth however you spell the name of that place oops
BUT ANW that UHD backdrop appeared in the kwangsoo father episode hahahha right or was it the nickhun ep whichever la lol
AND THE COFFEE PLACE THAT HIS FATHER WAS HIDING AT LOL
but ok we met running man cardboard version hahaha eh and this photo was taken using my phone isit it sucks leh compared to my photo taken using claudia's iphone 6.
Later on we went to the nearest shopping mall to answer nature's call and leech free wifi where claudia found out that they weren't headed to sbs building at all #nofate #noaffinity
Stop #2: Yeolbong Jjimdak @ Hongdae
THIS is one of my favourite food places in korea, so of course i had to bring claudia here right??????? Major love for jjimdak. Too bad i haven't managed to find a good substitute here in Singapore. Somebody bring the franchise over please!
AND OF COURSE CLAUDIA LOVED IT NOBODY CAN RESIST THIS.
I don't even care that it's opened by the kpop star Se7en or whatever lolz, i only know it's massiseoyo!
And i think i not bad hahahah i can find this place and move around hongdae so easily lolz so much for the 110% effort map wq did for claudia for the hongcup lol which we didn't even need to use oops
Stop #3: Hongdae fish bread soft serve
After failing to eat the ewha one cos the shop looked too sad and unpopular, we tried this one.
the fish major fail lol couldnt take the weight of the chocolate fruits and it broke
was the soft serve some yogurt one? rmb it being not bad hahaha or was it not.
walked past hongcup and didn't bother to give it another try hahahahah maybe next time.
Stop #4: Stylenanda flagship store
Had a hard time finding this place lol followed some directions i got off the web but went wrong at some point in time and we went off course lol luckily we managed to find our way again and finally found the store.
spent some time looking at 3CE (since everyone is raving about it these days lolol) and got myself a concealer and a lipstick WHICH I HAVE NO IDEA WHEN I WILL USE LOL may it not melt away in the singapore heat lolz spent super long time swatching all the lipsticks to get a normal coloured one lol cos they have got quite a lot of loud colours which are a nono for me hahaha.
and of course we attempted to camwhore in the photobooth FREE ONE LEH JUST DO LA LOL but we a bit fail hahahaaha and the lighting no good too bright liaoz
then we went back to the hongdae main shopping streets and shopped hahaha or did we shop first then go to stylenanda haha no idea but nevermind
HUGE DOG
Stop #5: 401 restaurant
hahaha the reason why this was running man day haha.
our sad portions of meat cos too expensive lolol
daehan minguk manse!
hehehehe see my monday tee? and claudia's brown tee? hahahaha suddenly think my short fringe doesn't look that bad here lolz BUT i dont think im ready for bangs again lol and MY FACE SO BIG IN THAT ONE PHOTO HAHA CLAUDIA GOT CUT OUT OOPS i think it's the first photo we took hahahah and we noob dunno how to sit/where to look at cos there's no proper screen like those that neoprint machines have.
SUPPER BECAUSE DINNER WAS SAD HAHAHHAHA
and this night we had packing troubles lololol
DAY 6
5 days passed too quickly and we reached the last day of our trip liaoz.
Had some time before leaving
Stop #1: Myeongdong Kyoja
Another one of my "must-haves" in Korea but for some reason this time, the taste of the noodles wasn't up to par. Or maybe it was too oily for breakfast? But the dumplings were good as ever and the kimchi as garlicky and spicy as ever.
Stop #2: Snacks shopping @ Lotte department store
Hahaha ok this photo no link but we bought coffee and went to buy snacks to bring home before we had to go back to the hotel to check out.
this doesn't look like a coffee ice blended though i rmb getting this ice blended thingy
After buying xxx amount of stuff to bring back we hurriedly went back to the hotel to stuff all of them into our bags lololol packing troubles part 2.
Checked out, left our bags at the hotel and went for lunch and last min shopping cos we still had some time
Stop #3: Gogung bibimbap
I think we attempted to find this budae jjigae place cos i originally didn't feel like having bibimbap hahaha oops but we failed so it's bibimbap time!
After this was last minute shopping woohoo hahahaha impulse buys on the last day cos after this no chance liaoz.
Stop #4: Incheon airport
Checked in, did our GST refund, ate some chocolate bread from paris baguette, looked at some expensive kimbap, saw a beautiful sunset and we were headed back home.
i think i was still sick of western food at this point in time LOL
Everything will one day come to an end, just like our trip. :(
See you again korea, maybe next year?
I had fun while it lasted, hope you did too claudia hahahahaha :)
It was both claudia and myself's first trip away from home without our parents (LOL ya i know 22 already lol (i was still 21 back then in may ok hahaha)) and there were a lot of things that we now had to handle ourselves this time. Luckily it was a place i was familiar with (so it's not that scary for 2 girls going out alone overseas) and luckily we didn't meet any major hiccups. The people we met were mostly nice as well like the gary restaurant's staff and the hotel staff, though I don't think we appeared very appreciative cos we are just liddat la hahahaha. It was also a good thing that we were back before MERS hit, otherwise i think our parents will be worried sick hahaha.
And it was also the first time we saw each other 24/7 for 6 whole days hahaha glad we are still friends lolol (have heard stories of people going on trips tgt as friends and came back no longer friends leh so scary)
To more trips together after we earn more money (and can take leave)? ;)
But for now, Singapore will always be the best place to be at and to live in. #SG50 hahaha
