Korea planning x accommodations,

The planning:

Cr: Google.

Both Zac and I had nvr imagined us travelling within half a year after our HK trip. This trip happened because of me (kind of). As a girl who loves travelling, I told Zac that I wanted to travel again back in Jan. Initially, it was planned in December '14 but we weren't sure of our schedules as we would be studying in different uni. Hence, we booked our trip in June before we embarked on our new journeys in uni. Korea wasn't our initial destination. It was actually Gold Coast. But we thought that we should, perhaps, go after one of us gets our driving license or maybe when we are a tiny bit richer than now. HAHAH! Nonetheless, we were still looking forward to this trip because it's KOREAAAA ~ One of the countries I wanted to visit since young.

We booked out air tix at Scoot website. Guess what, we booked 13th to 29th June for our return-flight tix without even realising how many days it would be :/ Yes, I got chided by my parents at first but hey, Mum even told me where we should go after that okay! Hahah! Since we had a total of 16D17N in Korea, we decided to put Busan and Jeju Island into our itinerary as well. What's "travelling to Korea" when you don't visit these places, right? Throughout the whole planning, the boyf was very nice to lemme choose the days to stay in Busan and Jeju Island / places I wna visit in these 3 places and also our accommodations. Speaking of accommodations, we spent over SGD 1k on the 4 accommodations.

Scoot return flight
1518.64 sgd for two including flight insurance

Our check-in baggages
Seoul - Busan
Express KTX 53,600 Won // SGD67.89


Jeju Air (domestic air )
Busan airport - Jeju airport 112,200W // SGD142
Jeju - Gimpo Airport 122,200W // SGD154.70

-

Here are the accommodations throughout the 16 days in Korea:

Seoul #1: SGD277 for 3 nights @ Wendy's

Busan: Grace's @ SGD264 for 3 nights 

Jeju Island - J2 Family Hotel 4 nights SGD435 // 360,000W

Seoul #2 - Jennifer's SGD656 for 6 nights

When being asked which is the best to live in throughout that 16days in Korea, both Baby and I would say Seoul #2.

Finally submitted one of my individual assignments ystd and so I had the time to edit this entry. Can't wait to submit all my assignments so that I can have more time to slp. Goodbye!

Alive Museum x Bangkok Jam,


My life currently: wake up > complain about the number of assignments I've to complete by xx > settle down for assignments > eat > sleep and the cycle continues the next day! After entering university, I realised that the life of a university student is nvr the same as before (anymore). Things get tougher, even my stomach gets tougher too because there's no time for me to have my meals in between the lectures. This is the life of a RMIT student. A part of me is starting to regret the application for uni... Just knock me on my head, like the photo above!

***

It was the World Cup season and Baby stayed over at my place to watch one of the matches. It was so difficult waking up early the next day because we only had a few hours of slp after the match ended. This was why I missed the brkfast with the girls on that day and we were late for an hour (with Wei Jun). Visited Singapore's Alive Museum a month ago with the clique. It wasn't long when Zac and I were back from our Korea trip. Initially, I was still deciding whether to go since we had recently visited Trick Art Museum back in Jeju Island. But, thinking that it wouldn't be the same, we ended up going (with new people this time). Indeed, the more the merrier! Shall let the photos do the talking for now.

Ready to enter!

Pity the one kneeling down



Then it was partnering with Michael Jackson














Bcos no matter what, I still couldn't go taller than this boy!

Journey to the West (Part 10)


We took 2hrs plus to finish viewing the whole of Alive Museum and we didn't know where to go. Came to a conclusion to head down to Marina Sq. for some bowling sesh. But bcos of the long waiting list, we decided to go for some pool sesh. My hands had been itching for a pool sesh since a long time ago and finally, it's time to get down to the pool table and play with the balls! 



Still very attracted to him after almost 9yrs. HAHAH!

The better one coaching the lousier one


It was time for dinz by the time we ended our pool sesh. We walked the whole mall because we couldn't make up our minds on what to eat. Walked past a Korean restaurant but I thought I had enough of Korean cuisine back in Korea, so no. Walked a lil more and we decided to go for Bangkok Jam (even though we just went BKK 1.5mths ago at that point of time).

As usual, one can easily guess which was mine... After dinz, we went on separate routes as some headed home. Zac and I headed to one of our favourite spots at the Flyer to chill for a lil while before heading home.


This was how I spent my 5th July. Goodbye! :)
