29 Jun

Last post on korea gmarket hauls.

Feeling a ‘lil sad cos I can’t shop as much as I wish alr.

Although S’pore has their own gmarket site, but their price can’t be compared to Korea one.

I will havta opt for EMS shld I intend to bulk purchase stuff frm gmarket.co.kr

Maybe I’ll jst do so in a few months time. ^^

Anw, here’s a very very short post on my gmarket final hauls! 😀

Jst in time to ship back my stuff to S’pore. (:

 Tadahhhhhh!!!!!

Bought the following:

– Pearl white casing for my Polaroid camera, cos I wanna stick Hello Kitty stickers over my camera. I wanna ZEN it up abit with blings blings too. ^^

– Additional instax films cos I wanna take more polaroids in S’pore.

– Red magnetic tapes as well in case I feel like sticking my Polaroids on my wall. Hee.

– Polaroid photo boards cos they are sucha beauty to display on my study table with photos of my loved ones.

I shoooo wanna lay my hands on Instax Mini Color Films. It’s OOS in local Fujifilm stores & even on gmarket! -.-“

Chio milk color handbag

Wondering why I bought the same handbag design in 2 different colors?

Okays, cos the bags were shoooo cheap, they cost only 8,400 won, so I decided to get both colors of the same design! Hehehehe!

Dream High Filming Set (:

13 Jun

Please watch DREAM HIGH if u haven’t done so!

Dream High tells the story of six students at Kirin Art High School who work to achieve their dreams of becoming music stars in the Korean music industry.

These youths encountered many challenges in their pursuit of their dreams, and yet they persevered on.

An inspiring korean drama!

Synopsis

Go Hye Mi is a student who had majored in classical music but has to give up her dream by entering Kirin Art High School to pay off her father’s debt. However, she needs to get two other students to also come to the school in order for her to enroll in the school conditionally. These two students are Song Sam Dong, who lives in the countryside, and Jin Guk, whom she accidentally meets while trying to escape from a loan shark. Yoon Baek Hee, formerly Hyemi’s sidekick, becomes her rival in school because Hye Mi betrays her during an audition to enter the school.

If u find Secret Garden too slow-moving jst as I do, then I reckon this might be a better choice of drama for u!

Good story plot, youthful & attractive casts,  catchy & soothing OST tracks.

What’s not to love abt Dream High? ^^

Drama Rating:

Indian Food Recommendation! UPZ!

6 Jun

I so wanna intro this Indian restaurant in Anam-dong area to those who are looking for affordable yet delicious Indian food!

Name of Restaurant: BENARES Indian Restaurant

The nearest subway exit is Anam Exit 3.

Went to Benares during dinner time with frens & had to queue for a short while. It doesn’t matter tho’, cos the food they serve is really worth the waiting time! ^^

Restaurant’s interior layout was nt bad wor. Their lighting was warm & the whole place doesn’t smells like S’pore ‘gee’ prata shop u noe. Hee.

Anw, we ordered 4 pax set meal!

Set meal includes:  

– Tandoori chicken (tastes sooooo good!)

– Chicken mushroom soup

– Samdosa (Indian appetizer)

– Yellow rice (best to eat it with curry!)

– Seafood spaghetti (it’s the best seafood spaghetti I’ve ever tried! pls order this item!)

– Butter Chicken Curry (Yummy!)

– Chicken Tikka Masala Curry

– Cheese naan

As the naan was nt free flow, we ordered additional 2 more naans – garlic & honey naan!

Personally, I love honey nann the most! But it’s sticky on ur fingers tho’. ^o^

For all the items in the set meal, they are indeed very worth the price!

Having tried two indian restaurants in Seoul, I came to the conclusion tt Indian food in Seoul is really a notch above S’pore!

S’pore got prata, nasi briyani, murtabak, prata curry etc. Nthin’ really special right…

But what do Indian restaurant in Seoul serves?

Many curry flavors & different types of naans! Once you try ’em, u’ll definitely want more!

Come give Benares Indian Restaurant a try one of these days!

You won’t regret it!

Price is affordable, food quality is damn upzzz!

Service is fast as well, even during peak hrs.

What’s not to love bout Benares?

Price: 10,000-13,000 won

2011 KU Ipsilenti

1 Jun

It’s my 2nd time attending KU event, with the 1st being the cheering orientation btw KU & Yonsei.

2011 KU Ipsilenti were held near Hwa Jeong Tiger Dome.

We had to secure tickets beforehand to get in.

KU students mentioned tt it rained evry yr prior the event, and it indeed rained tt day.

Really so qiao meh? Mm.

Here’s all of us who went for KU Ipsilenti!

Evry birdie!

Look at the queue!

It’s longgggg!

There are even longer queues at the back!

Look at the red crowds!

Check out his BOOMZ hair!

Cheering alr started, cos we were late!

And we missed Girl’s Day performance! Dammit!

Nevertheless, I really feel proud to be part of KU cos their sch cheer was so spontaneous! It simply jst brings out their sch pride!

Too bad SMU has no such sch cheer, and tt might be why the students have no sch spirits?

I noe I don’t. Haha.

Great experience to be part of the seas of red crowd!

Cheering was hyper & spontaneous as usual.

KU students always love to form a circle & perform all their cheers.

Perhaps tt’s wad bond them tgt?

There were silly actions here & there but it’s fun lah.

If only I had learnt the KU cheer, I suppose the entire event wld be more meaningful and awesome!

Hosts of the day

MBC host v prettaye right?

But she was reported dead few days after Ipsilenti.

She committed suicide due to both work and relationship problems with a popular baseball player.

姐弟恋 u noe?

Apparently, the baseball player denied their relationship even after dating for quite sometime.

Netizens said she tweeted bout her suicide thoughts but noone believed her, they all thought she’s merely joking.

But she really did end her life.

Saddening.

Guests appearance include Girl’s Day, UV, Seo In Guk, Kim Jang Hoon and 4Minutes.

1st guest performance: UV

UV really looks like xiao ding dong, with their hilarious actions & silly outfits.

Their rendition of ‘Itaewon Freedom’ is nice tho’!

Some Mr. Sportsman thingy gg on.

He looks a little like Robin Leong, no?

As the evening draws near, the stage looks much better with the stage lightings, else the setup all look v budget!

Seo In Guk – Superstar K Champion

Love his song ‘Broken’ & other songs!

Forgot the name of the other songs liao. -.-

Dressing v fashionable! Color combi is good!

He’s trying to dance cutely. Haha.

 ♥ the stage laser lightings!

Most unexpected element of this yr’s Ipsilenti was the fireworks!

Fireworks was released for a few minutes.

And best thing was tt it occured jst right above our heads!

Amazingggg fireworks effects!

Nw we noe whr KU’s ipsilenti budget goes to –> Fireworks!

Hehehe.

Shoooooo Beautiful!

SHIOKS TTM! 

In S’pore, we’ll never experience sucha long & beautiful fireworks so near our eyes!

Finally, the long awaited performance by 4Minute!

They appeared at 10:00pm!

Late right?!!!!

And whn they appeared, all of ’em wore KU tee-shirt, but with different styles.

I guess why they took so long to make an appearance is becos the girls were discussing which tee-shirt style they want – off shoulder, cropped, long-tee blah blah..

Teeheex.

Their songs were all v catchy!

Like Muzik, Hot Issue, I My Me Mine, Heart to Heart, Mirror Mirror (:

She sings v well!

Shoooo hawt man Hyun-Ah!

I bet the guys nose must be bleeding frm her sultry actions! ^^

She somehow looks like Lee Hyo-ri!

Hyun Ah is a sex bomb!

 Ipsilenti ended off to a perfect fullstop!

And yes, I am proud to be a KU student for at least a semester! ^^
