Korea V.2; Day5-8


 Day5
Breakfast at Inter-Burgo Hotel

Heavy breakfast before 1hr drive to Daejeon



Arrived at Daejeon's fruit farm for strawberry picking! 
They are so juicy and sweet unlike the ones we buy in Sg!

Evidence of eating strawberries while plucking left on my lip :/


Lucky us get to bring a box of strawberries back!
Wanted to bring them back home but Sean and I checked out of the hotel leaving the untouched box in the fridge :<
Then Maisan Provinicial Park for more sight-seeing


Then to Jeongju Traditional Culture Centre where we can experience and witness the Korean traditional wedding ceremony
Hanji craft mirror making

Ended up being the bride of the ceremony because Sean volunteered to be the groom lol
 Kinda embarrassed cos the rest of the people in our tour watched us go through the entire thing. 
(someone not very keen in the ceremony ah..)


Ended up fooling around in the Hanboks 
Everyone (except sean) so into our roles!


Finally checked into Daejeon Interciti Hotel, the best out of the 4 we stayed in imo, new and spacious!

Here's the huge suite for 3


Day 6 to the pretty Everland!
Our only chance to act cute with the headgear haha

 Only dennis and the Lee siblings had the guts to go on the roller coaster in the background, check out the steepness man!
They actually queued for an hour for a 1min ride omg. 

I wanted to go on this mild roller coaster but was so turned off by the queue..
 

 So we went into the safari for an upclose experience with the tigers and bears
This bear stood up for treats when the trainer called his name :0
 Felt like we were in Africa traveling on a mini bus with animals surrounding, hah cheap thrill!



Some tulips exhibition going on
Guess who! 


  Then it was our turn..

A short kimchi making session before they persuade us into buying more back to Sg. 

Another round of wearing Hanboks!

The guys should totally join Mediacorp! 超爱演的!

Got welcomed by this complicating train map when we went for more shopping on our own to Dongdaemun. 


Love K fashion! Every shop looks pretty like this!
 


Day 7

 To Yoonjungro Street to see beautiful cherry blossoms in full bloom!


 To Myeongdong, the No.1 shopping district in Seoul
So upset Show Luo went to this exact street one week after us. 
Sigh.. why didnt I see him!!

 Nanta Show was damn awesome! It was so funny, I laughed till my tummy ached!
Highly recommend everyone to catch it if you didn't watch it when they were in Sg. 


Day 8; shopping at Shinchon Ladies Street

Sneakers/shoes paradise! 

Man.. I love this street! The feel is like Sg's Haji Lane. 
The shopping is even better than Myeongdong in my opinion
Wish we had more time shopping there!


So this pretty much summed up my days in Korea. 
Hope it did help a little for those who are heading there soon. 
The only regret I had was not extending one more day to spend in Seoul. 
There wasn't much time for us to shop as this Cherry blossom tour package we chose was more of sight seeing. 
So yep do remember to extend one day of free and easy if you're going with tour group ;)

Till then..

Straighter teeth with Aurora Aligner :D (invisible braces)

Image
  Hey y'all!  So after so many years of procrastinating I am finally doing something to my teeth. Initially I still thought I could live with the crooked teeth issue but I realised, it's getting out of hand so it's time to seek help.      I just got started on it and I'm currently on my 4th set of aligner but I have so much faith in this journey already. So I first started googling and found myself shortlisting a few ways to straighten my teeth and at the end of it, Aurora Aligner it is. My doctor is Dr Krystle from Nam Fung Dental Clinic and it's located 10mins away from my office.   Since I am turning 30 this year, I reckoned it's not too ideal for me to go for the traditional metal braces. So invisible braces it is!  Fun Fact: I had braces done when I was primary 4 on my upper jaw coz my front tooth couldn't grow due to insufficient space.    My set of teeth seems pretty straight from the front but in actual fact there's this particular to...

DRx; my savior.

A picture taken on 15th Aug 2012 to kickstart my blogpost for The DRx Clinic aka my savior.  Ready?   . . . . . . . . . . . Embrace. My worst outbreak ever 2 years back.   It definitely took a lot of courage to post this pic up but yup this was my skin condition during my first visit to The DRx Clinic 2 years ago. I've set memories of that bad past to rest and I almost couldn't remember how unhealthy my skin was until Dr David flipped through my records and I knew I had to show you guys how The DRx Clinic saved my complexion.   My skin started breaking out with all the huge pimples below my cheeks on both sides of my face ever since I started travelling to GZ for work.  It was so depressing as there were visible bumps all over and even makeup couldn't conceal them.  And when my guy friend asked bluntly 'What happened to your face man?', I realized I had to seek he...
