Welcome to irenelaw.com

For some, this night would be the final night for them. A dinner cum drinking session was planned but I didn’t join.

Instead I went shopping with another 2 friends of mine as we still hadn’t finish buying things that we had in our list. When we got back, we were no longer in time to join them. We decided to go to other place for dinner. We went back to the place where we bought our fried chicken before. This time we dined in. Very delicious! However, it’s a bit too much for 3 girls even though we’re pretty big eater hehehe…

After that, I managed to do last minute shopping for new set of underwear to reward myself, it’s not cheap in Australia and it’s so hard to find my size here ;p This holiday cum short-term study can be considered a cheap holiday for me because most of the things were sponsored and I spent less than AUD1000 for this whole trip!

Then, we joined the rest at the other lounge, Big Sugar. I love the interior!

No-Smoking policy here, YAY! Fresh air!

Took the opportunity to take photos of/with as many people as possible.

Many would be leaving the next day afternoon. Some actually had to leave early in the morning. For those leaving early in the morning, they did not get to join the closing ceremony and the farewell lunch.

Since it’s a weekday night, the whole lounge practically belonged to us ;p

We did not party till too late because we had to attend the closing ceremony the next day. It would also be the last day of our program. How time flies…

The program is ending very soon!

Left: In the morning, we had our special lecture as usual.
Right: Then, in the afternoon, we went to a high school to experience Taekwondo. We took a bus there but had to walk up the steep hill to the school. It was hard work! Goodness! The view from one of the windows at the high school.

We were introduced to the Olympians. They were training there. I was given with red belt ;p Took a photo with the trainer (the guy) and my buddy. I was very bad in it, no coordination at all. My butt hurt like crazy during the warming up session in which we were required to jump a lot! I’m not good in running and jumping. I was in so much pain, couldn’t really stand up properly. Luckily after resting, it was ok and I continued with the other sessions.

At night, we went to Shinsegae at Centum City, “world’s largest department store, surpassing the Macy’s department store in New York City in 2009” (quoted from wikipedia). I just wanted to go there, most of them were there for the skating rink.

Left: All sort of food, great presentation and not cheap too.
Right: The ice skating rink.

I did not skate, not my interest. Even we have skating rink here in Adelaide I also don’t bother about doing it.

Tired… Rest… Camwhored!

Went for dinner at the foodcourt before going back. Huge variety of selections. Luckily there was English version menu. Food prices were very affordable! (In terms of spending USD or AUD there). Had to order at the counter and they will send the order to the appropriate kitchen. The gadget in the photo is the buzzer. Once your food is ready, it will buzz and you go to collect your food. I ordered Cheese Egg Omelet and Rice (KRW5000). It came with some side dishes. Didn’t realize it’s not Korean food *LOL* A bit regret ordering this but it’s not bad tasting. Should order something Korean.

One of the food ordered by my friend. Portion was huge! Food preparation was fast too. There were so many people that time, it took us quite awhile to find seats for so many of us.

Waiting for some of them to get their ice cream. It was quite a long wait.

After that, we headed home. It was such a tiring day.
