PKNU Cultural Exchange – 1.1.2012 (Part 2)

Posted on By sweet surrender No Comments on PKNU Cultural Exchange – 1.1.2012 (Part 2)

I took the Airport Railway to Gimpo Airport as it’s much easier.


Got the ticket from the vending machine. I fell asleep so many times on the train. So exhausted!


Finally I’m in Gimpo Airport. I just followed the crowd. Was almost denied entrance to the departure hall because of the name difference on my boarding pass and my passport because it’s too long, the ‘g’ in my name was omitted. I tried so hard to explain in English and use sign langugage as I don’t know any Korean language, it was a bit frustrating. Luckily I was allowed to go in at the end.


According to my buddy, I’m the first one to arrive. So early in the morning. This is the place I’m going to stay for the next 3 weeks. We had problem figure out how to use the heating system. I was thinking to get a shower the first thing I arrived but ended up napping first because the water was too cold and need time to heat up.


Left: My name tag and room key. So special, it’s so small, just scan the tiny little card to unlock the room door.

Right: The main entrance of Pukyong National University.


The view from one of the section of the university.


Random street view on the way for my early dinner at 4pm+


The side dishes.


Left: Kimbap, my roommate’s dinner.
Right: I don’t remember what’s this, I’m not the one ordering it and everything was in Korean, I got no clue ;p Anyway, I paid KRW3000 for my dinner.

Called it an early night at around 9pm. Classes start the next day, there’s no such things as replacement holiday for the new year here.

Finally I reached Incheon Airport at 10pm+ on 31/1/11. Then took me about 45 minutes to get tru’ to the immigration. So many people!


First thing when I got out of the arrival hall was to find a place to settle down in the airport but the transit area was already closed! Then I thought I should find out how should I head to Gimpo Airport in the morning to catch my flight to Busan. It wasn’t easy, I was practically lost, not knowing how to read or speak Korean. Luckily there’s English signs but still not much of help as I need to do an airport transfer.


Was so frustrated. Decided to go to the toilet to change into warm clothes and wash my face and guess what?!?! I heard the countdown! Damn! I’m in the toilet welcoming the new year! What a memory. I remember there’s a joke circulating on Facebook about it, warning people not to go to the toilet near 12am or else you’ll be coming out from the toilet the next year. It happened to me! *LOL*


8 hours of transit, trying to find my way to Gimpo Airport, on and off sleeping and loitering around the airport to kill time. It was strange that there’s no dinner served on the flight hmm…


I got hungry at 2am, bought McD set meal, Bulgogi Burger (KRW4600). After that, continue loitering around and sleeping on and off in different parts of the airport. Such pity… All alone, so helpless…

Finally I decided to use the AREX to Gimpo instead of the limousine bus. Went to the vending machine but it was closed. So waited until 4.45am to go over to the train station again. Finally! Got on the train and follow the crowd when got off the train at Gimpo Airport. I was so worried and scared that time as there’s no foreigner at all!

Christmas BBQ 2011

Posted on By sweet surrender 2 Comments on Christmas BBQ 2011

BBQ the next day again! So much food these two days.

This time, the BBQ was organized by friends from church at their house. I went there feeling sleepy. After ate the first round, I took a nap hahaha… Then continued eating again.

It’s different from Christmas eve’s BBQ, it was so cold that day. We only started in the evening. Brrr… Freezing! We had steamboat too. Called it a night at about 11pm+ I was extremely tired, soooo sleepy. Had not been sleeping well the past few days.

Was invited to hike Mt. Lofty the next day but I rejected it as I wanted to sleep in. I really slept in and only woke up at almost 12pm ;p

Moscato Nights

Posted on By sweet surrender No Comments on Moscato Nights

Had moscato nights since after exam.

First, it was on 10th Dec. SF gave WM and I a bottle of Oliver’s Taranga Small Batch Wines 2011 Moscato before she went back to Malaysia. Both WM and I decided to have it before WM catch the very early morning flight back to Malaysia. She stayed over at my place. We celebrated the end of exam.

We started to drink around 12am. One bottle, two girls shared. We thought we couldn’t finish the bottle in a night but apparently it’s not that much.

Then, at around 2am, another two friends came to my apartment after attending their friend’s bucks night. Frankly, I really enjoyed the night especially with someone who had showered me with all the affections I need but at the same time, he confused me heaps! I guess it was all due to the influence of alcohol he drank earlier on before coming over. It’s hard to know whether it’s real or otherwise. I didn’t dare to inquire about the actions when we met few days later for lunch because it might be embarassing or might give him a hard time since he might not remember about it. If I asked, it might feel like I’m attacking him instead I told him he was annoying when he asked me whether he’s funny or not that night -.-” how silly can I be?!?! I made thing worst!

Then, few days after that, again, I guess my acts turned him off when he paid me a visit sigh… I wasn’t feeling well and I didn’t know how to tell him because I’m not good at that. I’m “trained” all these years to be strong, be independent and not to bombard someone I like/love with negative things because I don’t want them to worry about me due to the type of relationships I had previously. I pretended that I’m okay but ended up as if I’m giving him a cold shoulder the whole night. I really do know how to screw things up. Then again, I do have some suspicions as well. I have this feelings that he might not be single but I never asked. It’s so confusing really… Oh well… After the visit few days ago, I guess it’s over… Time to move on?

The second round, it was on 22/12, it was winter solstice but another girl friend and I drank for Christmas *LOL* I didn’t know my friend wanted to drink because of Christmas instead of winter solstice ;p All these while I thought it was for winter solstice. Apparent she didn’t know it was winter solstice that day.

She bought a bottle of Gossips Moscato Sweet Lips, double brie cheese, avocado, and water crackers. I love the cheese! Found my favourite cheese. YUM! Too bad I don’t remember or take note of the brand of the cheese. All I know is that it’s quite expensive, AUD40+ per 1kg (it was on special). The moscato was very SWEET but surprising cheap! Only AUD5.99 for 750ml! Alcohol here is much cheaper than other drinks here.

There you go… Two moscato nights with the girls.

My Yen Chinese Restaurant

Posted on By sweet surrender No Comments on My Yen Chinese Restaurant

Had a farewell/graduation dinner with those from my workplace and their families about a week ago. We had it at My Yen Chinese Restaurant loacted at 74 Belair Road, Hawthorn. It’s one of the oldest Chinese restaurants in Adelaide. I took a bus there, almost missed the stop. Really hate taking public transport even though the system here is good. I’m such a spoil brat ;p

I have no idea what the actual food we had, just let you see the photos hehehe…

It was such a BIG dinner! We have 12-course meal! Surprisingly our table cleared most of the plates but not the other tables hehehe… We’re such big eater. There’s a plate of cracker (not sure is it prawn crackers, could be) for you to savour before waiting for the food to be served. It’s kind of tasteless.


Left: Steam oyster with ginger & shallots.
Right: Salt & pepper squid with shredded chicken meat.


Left: Hun siu chicken shark fin soup.
Right: I’m not sure what’s this hahaha… I heard there’s abalone in there. *shrug* I only know there’s mushroom and green vegetable. I’m not familiar with all these rich people food such as abalone, lobster, shark fin, bird nest, and so on and so forth *LOL*. I don’t eat these back home and never dream of eating them unless it’s served in a dinner banquet. We don’t buy these stuffs to eat at home.


Left: Lobster with noodle with ginger & shallot, love this! My first time having lobster too.
Right: Pei pa duck.


King prawn with macadamia nuts & snow peas and Seafood fried rice.


Left: Steam coral trout with ginger & shallot.
Right: Roast chicken with num yu sauce.


Left: Red bean soup, extremely sweet but it tastes good because haven’t have one for soooo looooong…
Right: Red wine… I don’t like it. It took me whole night to finish half glass of red wine and stained my lips badly -.-” I prefer white wine but will avoid drinking any alcohol if possible.

What a night! So much food! Also, so much rich-people-food in a night ;p Overall, the food was great.
