Finally Seoul HERE I COME!! =D

So after 9 day is Malaysia I'm at the KL airport on the way to Incheon, Korea.
The days spent in Malaysia have been very relaxing and enjoyable. The best thing I managed to get here was my Canon 50mm EF 1.8 lens. Cheaper than buying it online actually =D!!! I ended up getting the lens an extra battery and a really nice filter for RM470 = $151.30, whoa that's a good deal now that I convert prices =D
Tried not to buy much however, and I still had 4.5kgs more than when I left Australia...hmmm could be all the food that my grandma sneaked into my bag to bring lol, wat the heck is this random guava snack doing in my bag. Actually I only asked for instant teh tarik and tau sauy and I ended up with a grocery bag that nearly crushed my shoulder LOL



Time square has also changed, it used to be random no name shops filled with fake bags and wallets etc. Now there are still a few of those but the store (consisting of 10 levels) is now filled with those cheap asian shops that sell those cute-sie asian outfits, some not so cute and just plain gross. I did manage to get a good neck massage in there to prepare me for carrying more heavy bags =P
Other than that the only things I bought were a pair of flats, a few magazines, a shirt from forever 21 (this store is pretty good, although topshop is way nicer) and a travel adapter lol. 



Best food that I had in Malaysia would be the bahkuhteh and chicken rice my aunty makes, I should've visited her shop more often lol. The Japanese place my other Auntie took me to yesterday was also good, oh Malaysia how I will miss your food. :( 


Hmmm I wonder if someone will be waiting for me at the Incheon airport...I thought they would but I recieved an e-mail the other day confirming my flight on Feb 24... LOL my e-mail back has yet to recieve a reply...I'm sure when they realised I wasn't there on the 24th they would've checked the e-mail I sent them and hopefully they don't hate me already.


Ok the first gate has opened, laterz. :)

Chinese Chess Pro = Me

Ok so maybe I lied a little bit with the title, I am certainly not pro as I just learnt how to play a few hours ago. Even though I don't understand how they explained in to me after watching a game and playing once I kinda have the gist of it. The only thing piece I can name though is the elephant one that can't cross the river =P
And I think there's a a horse, which works like the horse in normal chess.

My cousin also took me around Tangkak on a Motorbike, although she didn't have her license she's pretty good, I used that opportunity to take a few photo's which I will upload later.
Other than that all I've been doing is eating, I'm pretty sure I'm about to leave to go and eat satay somewhere, they must think I like satay heaps cos they are excited I'm excited about it =D

The main thing I have to blog about though is OMGOSH! why wont the mosquitos stop biting me, I seriously have over 60 bites and they all show as red dots all over my arms and legs. People keep asking about them and when I say they're mozzy bites they just look shocked. Some say I have sweet blood, but I say all the mosquitos have got to go, I hear mars sounds like a warm and cosy place...

Australia ---> Malaysia

So I am currently at Tangkak, my dad's hometown here in Malaysia, chilling out.
It's such a different style of travelling that I usually do when I'm in Malaysia, normally I go out and shop all day everyday, but this time round I plan to just rest and visit nice places :)
I have been out once since I got here yesterday and me and my 14 year old cousin went to popular and a dvd store to look for Korean cd's and magazines LOL, spent at least 1 hour deliberating on which guys were handsome, I only picked like 2...how sad.

I have to also mention how big of a kpop fan she is, imagine a girl who is generally very quiet and studious look, although she is apparently more lazy than studious =P.
Ok and then imagine her turning on Shinee's-Lucifer and singing and dancing out loud, having memorized most of the lyrics to a song that she doesn't understand lol. She followed that up with another 10 Korean songs with similar knowledge of the lyrics =P



My three cousins have also decided to 'book' me this Thursday because they want to play badminton with me...really inside I know they just want to beat me _ _" I shouldn't have mentioned that I play.
They also want me to go swimming with them LOL, I'm pretty sure this is just a plan to get out of tuition that they dislike so much hahaha.


In terms of food, I haven't really had an appetite to eat much, i have probably taken more showers than I have meals =P, that is unless you count the multiple oranges I've been eating, everyone keeps offering me them because they have lots from CNY.


Ju I have to say I am angered about fruits though, I haven't eaten many banana's for a while but I have been bitten so many times just sitting here as I type :( Ba Shen even gawked as she saw my left leg covered in lumps, and YES I say lumps cos they have all melded together, which is gross and incredibly itchy.



Mmmm hopefully I can get some insect repellent tonight, that would be good.

OH and Wan Cui has decided to call that pink tofu you got me, Munchie LOL

ok time to try and study lol
