Bigbang 5th mini album ALIVE
I received my bigbang album, I love all their songs, my top 3 are Fantastic Baby, Blue, Love Dust. And bad boy as well, so it must be top 4. haha..
So, I have some pics about the album that I can show you right here, right now. The album design is just wow, cool, i love the way they make it slide mode.. Ah, it's a bit heavy compared to normal album. Mine is bigbang version btw.
Left side is the photobook. It was put inside the blue plastic cover under the photobook.
ok, here are some pages inside the photobook.
This is the thank you message from bigbang.
Here is the poster, the size quite big, a bit bigger than my Mr. simple ver A poster.
This is the ygfamily card, if you order top version, you will get top picture on it.
And this is the one makes me so happy for buying this album, I got 4 free sticker sheets...
Thank you @somsatangdlite for helping me buy this.. :)

Experience Korea's Night Life
So, i mentioned before in my annyonghaseyo blog, I went out after my tour schedules ended. We went to Itaewon using subway, accompanied by my sis friend. Our hotel is located near Yangpyeong station, it takes around 30mins to reach itaewon.
We arrived at itaewon, and there is snowfall there. aaaa,my first time. So so excited, cant describe it, but when we took picture, couldnt really see the snow.
But, it was suddenly became so heavy, and blah, we walked as fast as we can. we also could not have time to take picture anymore. super cold.
We found S2, and decided to spend our time here. We played game and having local food, like cheese tteokbokki, jjolmyeon, cocktail, and soju. They were all very nice, especially the cheese tteokbokki. but, the jjolmyeon, very spicy.. can't stand it.
And if you can see at the picture, the glass is so unique, got level and smiley written there.. :)
Next, we moved to if i am not wrong, is bungalow. We tried the spicy soup, pancake, and makgeolli. I love their makgeolli, very nice. The spicy soup,warrh, damn spicy. over spicy, hahahaa.
My sis friends said that people in Korea do not like to stay in one place, they like to move. So, we moved again to noraebang. This was one of my plan list, as I heard their noraebang is one of the things you should do when you are here in Korea.
We got into taxi and went to Su Noraebang, I forgot where it was, but I think it was at apgujeong there, or something similar.
I saw a lot of idols' signature, wwaaah, the first one i saw was 2ne1.
The place was actually small and look a bit old if we compare with the luxury one at hongdae.
It was around 3am in the morning, and we were like all dead, barely open our eyes. Too tired, but it was all very exciting.. thanks to my sis, and her friends for these experiences. The street is all covered by snow.
And the last one, this was a gift from my sis' friend, cute right? It's a rechargeable heatpack.

And today was my sis friend bday, so we celebrated his bday here. The cake is Paris Baguette's, super super nice. And we ate it using chopstick. I want more!!! :p

안녕하세요!!!
So, finally, I went to South Korea.. I have been thinking of it like half a year, and I got the chance. We bought a tour, the package was 8 days for South Korea + Jeju Island.
I was so excited that time, and it's like so impossible.. 5months passed, we are going there.. Excited yet worried on what will happen there.. hahaha...
Not gonna talk much about taking flight, transit in Shanghai, etc.. I am gonna start from the first day we stepped out from Incheon Airport. Oh, it is winter in South Korea, the tour agent told us that it would be very cold.. And yes, it was super cold, around -15 degrees. But I was so excited to experience my first winter with the real snow..
Day 1
Arrival --> Gangwondo
When we walked out after taking our luggage, we saw one cute guy holding our travel agent's name, and apparently he is the one gonna be our photographer. Oh, I saw a cute couple wearing hanbok, and decided to take picture with them..
After all the tour members gathered, we walked to the bus, and heading to Gangwon-do. It takes around 3 hours. As soon as we arrived at hotel, the first schedule we gonna do is Sauna and Swimming. We did not have swimming cap, so we can only sauna. Sauna there was a bit unique. Ginseng sauna, which was good for your skin. I like it so much. But some of the ahjummas there seems like not welcoming us, ok maybe because we did something wrong while inside the sauna, but their gesture towards us was just too annoying. But some of them were nice..
Oh, my first hotel is Kensington flora hotel, it's an old hotel I guess.. Condition not nice, it was a bit dark inside, like they are saving electricity. Not recommended. But I kinda like their ondol room, slept on the floor, and it was more comfortable than my next hotel's.
And here is the picture of the ondol room.
Day 2
Seafood Market --> Soeraksan National Park --> Naksansa Temple --> Daegwallyeong
After having breakfast, we went to seafood market. One interesting seafood that I have seen is this, I forgot the name. but, here is the picture.
This is the picture of the Bronze Statue and Shinheungsa temple at Seoraksan National Park.. :) Inside the temple, you wan write your wish and hang it. I forgot how much you have to pay, but I guess it was around 5000won.
On our way back, we walked from another side, and it made us so excited. At first, we were so regret that our schedule didnt include Nami Island, but after visiting Mt.Sorak, no more regret.
Lunch time, this was how the restaurant looks like, quite nice right? We always choose the less crowded lunch and dinner time, so not many people spotted in the picture. I also watched Infinity Challenge special cny, and Jaesuk was so funny.. This was also the time when I start chit-chatting alot with my photographer and tour guide. They are so nice indeed.
Next destination is Naksansa Temple, ermm, nothing much here, no snow.. LoL. They have Haesugwaneum Statue there.
This is how Daegwallyeong looks like, you can see how thick the snow is, this place is great if you visit during winter. My tour guide said this indeed is the place that will have a lot of snow during winter.
End of schedule, we heading to Yangji Pine Resort, which was near to Seoul. We gonna have ski tomorrow, so we went to a ski rental shop, rent the clothes. Our dinner was B.B.Q. Chicken, I know Singapore also have it, but seriously I think it's more delicious here.
Can you spot the banana milk? haha, the right one, I love it so much.. :) The chicken, 1box contains 8chickens, for 16000won, includes 1 bottle of Cola. The sauce also nice, the bbq sauce. We start addicting to it..
Day 3
Yangji Pine Resort --> Yongin Everland --> Itaewon
Ski-ing time!!! lol.. I was so excited, because it's my first time try ski. yahoo!! But, when we collected the equipments, oh, the shoes so heavy.. we walked like robot. haha, it was fun if you know how to ski. I like it, but the thing I dont like is when you fell down, oh, it's just so difficult to get up. But after all, it's gonna be good if I can have more practice sometime in the future..
Oh, I found what I want, GD & TOP sunny 10 drinks, yay!! But, TOP one didnt come out. Nevermind, at least I got my GD, which is my bias. hahaa.
We went ski for 3,5hrs, then prepared to check out from the resort. This resort was so crowded, maybe because the nearest ski resort from Seoul is this one. We have to wait like 20mins to finally get in the lift.
Our lunch was here, a lot of thai's autograph, don't know why.
I took a lot of pictures here, but would not post all. but, enjoy some of my best shots. First, we went to the animal safari.. Their animals were all so cute.. They have Liger, combination of Lion and Tigerm, which is the first breed in the world. And the teddy bear, so cuteeeeee.. They each have their own characters, kungfu bear, dancing bear, tallest bear, and so on, I cant remember all.
Next was in the theme park, maybe tehy have some event, I dont know.. But this was what happened there, like carnival.
After that, we went to play snowbuster, it was fun.. Must try if you come during winter.
Then we moved to the four seasons garden, but it was closed, no flowers. :( So, we just walked around and did the window shopping. The night view in everland also nice.. Take a look at the heater room as well.
Ok, end of everland. We went for dinner and celebrate one of our member's birthday, I love the ice-cream cake. We having bibimbap pot tonight. After the schedule ended, we went to Itaewon and having fun, experience korea's youngster life, but I am gonna talk more in another blog. We met snowfall here. My first experience, and it was so so so awesome, unforgettable.. Excited much.. Thanks to my sis friend for taking us here, having fun.. Wanna know the story, Click here!
The hotel for two nights in Seoul is COOP, it's kinda like apartment, and maybe it is apartment. Nice, I like the design.
Day 4
Hangang River --> Kimchi School + Hanbok --> Cheongwadae --> National Folk Museum --> Gwanghwamun Square --> Beauty faceshop --> Myeongdong --> Cheonggyecheon stream --> Dongdaemun
We having city tour today, which was why a lot of places we can go. :) We saw the hangang river from the bus before reaching kimchi school. We learned how to make kimchi and try wearing hanbok. It was not fun at all. Why? The kimchi teacher was not nice, not friendly.. And only two families include us trying the hanbok and taking pictures, which make us not comfortable, because others were like waiting and staring at us. Oh, i show you this. It was the water bottle we left in bus yesterday, and it turns into ice today.. My tour guide called it "water-stick".
The weather was really cold that day, we couldn't stand it, so we were back to bus and only drive through the blue house. A bit disappointed, but yeah,no choice. This was the picture of the cheongwadae mansion. :)
Next is National Folk Museum.. Ermm, nothing much. We spent about 20mins in the museum, then went out to take pictures with the snow.
This picture below is the statue near city hall, the place called gwanghwamun square.
Ok, lunch time. ginseng chicken soup, which I don't really like. haha, maybe bcoz i don't like ginseng. We then bought something else for our lunch part 2. It was paris baguette.
I am a loyal customer from now on. Why? Last night I tried their birthday cake, super nice.. Then, I tried the cheese cake and bread, also nice.. I love it so so much.. It is no 1 in Korea btw.
Then, we went to beauty faceshop, a big beauty store with a lot of brands. We got a sales girl promoting a brand, which is C.A.R.I.N.O, from what she said, maybe the quality is good. So, we bought quite a lot for this brand. haha.. And we also bought Etude House, Holika Holika, face shop. Oh, they don't have nature republic there.
And shopping time!!!!!!! Based on schedule, we supposed to go Insadong, but tour guide said, for us, like from Asia, Insadong will not be interesting for us. So, he suggested us to go Myeongdong. We agree with that. Yay! If went myeongdong, means I could visit SPAO and Everysing.
Here at myeongdong, a lot of beauty brands, there will be one sales girl stand by outside giving you free gift. But, if you wanna take the free gift, you have to do window shopping inside. Wasting my time.
We were really in a rush, we took too much time visiting Nature republic and other beauty shop. At the end, I ran to SPAO, but just looked around and went straight to everysing. I tried the photo-sticker (chose super junior background) and bought Super Junior chocolate.
The staff there was a bit slow in helping the customer. I told them to help me do the photo-sticker process, but they came like after 5mins. Then, my picture havent come out, I told them no picture. They asked me to wait, but I have been waiting like 15mins.. And apparently, the picture stucked inside. *sigh
I didnt manage to edit the picture, we all ran back to the meeting place, and we were very late. All of the group members already there. :(
Our last schedule is Dongdaemun. After having dinner, we went to see the cheonggyecheon stream first, it was near to dongdaemun.
Then we having our own shopping time. We visited doota, migliore, and i forgot the other two. dongdaemun is a perfect place if you wanna buy fashion thingy.. Their t-shirt all so cute. And at that time, a lot of discounts, like only 8000won, so on.
Day 5
N Seoul Tower --> Health Product Shop --> Seaweed Museum --> Amethyst Factory --> Jeju Island
Last day in Seoul.. :( Our last schedule in Seoul is N Seoul Tower. The place is full of love padlocks, so beautiful. This is where a couple usually lock their special padlock here as their sign of love.
We then visited ginseng shop, and other shop that sell healthy products. Not gonna talk about it, as I was not paying attention to what the sales girl said as well. hahaaaa... Then, we bought some seaweed, their seaweed is really nice, especially if you eat that together with rice..
Our photographer and driver did not go to Jeju with us, so we were busy taking picture with both of them in front of the amethyst factory, coz we have no interest with the jewels.. hahaa
We then reached airport, talked to the photographer for a while as we gonna depart soon. 안 녕, jonghun!! :)
As the blog getting longer, gonna write my trip to Jeju in another new page. Click here! to read my jeju trip..
I was so excited that time, and it's like so impossible.. 5months passed, we are going there.. Excited yet worried on what will happen there.. hahaha...

Seafood Market --> Soeraksan National Park --> Naksansa Temple --> Daegwallyeong
After having breakfast, we went to seafood market. One interesting seafood that I have seen is this, I forgot the name. but, here is the picture.
here is how the seafood market looks like, not only seafood, they also have local seaweed and other dried foods.
Next is Seoraksan National Park, aaaaaaaaaa, this place is beautiful, a lot of snow.. We took 100+ pics here I guess. We didnt ride the gondola, but I didnt regret at all.
This is the picture of the Bronze Statue and Shinheungsa temple at Seoraksan National Park.. :) Inside the temple, you wan write your wish and hang it. I forgot how much you have to pay, but I guess it was around 5000won.

Next destination is Naksansa Temple, ermm, nothing much here, no snow.. LoL. They have Haesugwaneum Statue there.
I love the next destination, it was in Pyeongchang, which is where the 2018 Winter Olympics gonna takes place. A grand dragon made of snow is also set up there. To be more accurate, it is at the Daegwallyeong. I did saw the snow dragon, but we didnt visit the place, we went directly to the sheep farm. The sheeps are so cute.. But they looked so hungry, maybe the owner purposely make them starving, so visitor will be more excited to see the sheeps interested in the feeding. I was late for the feeding, because I took a lot of time taking picture around the entrance.
This is how Daegwallyeong looks like, you can see how thick the snow is, this place is great if you visit during winter. My tour guide said this indeed is the place that will have a lot of snow during winter.

Our next destination, Yongin Everland.. It's like so big, have so many areas.. Love it so much, we were then half day, like from 2+ until 7pm.. Yay, we could experience the day and night here.. :p
I took a lot of pictures here, but would not post all. but, enjoy some of my best shots. First, we went to the animal safari.. Their animals were all so cute..
