Sungai Lembing

Worrying about two main things this trip
1. Whether PW and E will be comfortable
2. Car Car

If I dont have to worry about whether things bored o not for both of them, the enjoyment will be way higher though I enjoyed too. Love how chillax and freestyle it was. Really a small quiet town::) Nothing much to play but since climbings are the main things of this place. Others are just not that important.

No sunrise for us. Not this trip due to the rain.
We...
Eat
Museum

Slippers hunting
Nap
Talk
... and Rest.

Friendlyy and super nice Riverview Resort owner that showed us and brief us here and there. I felt welcome. the resort was not too big or too small. Basic stuffs are there. Good enough for a stay :))




Day 2: Day of Excitement
Woke up 5am
Gotten myself a heavy breakfast and off to climb rainbow waterfall

The ride up to the rainbow waterfall was fun! :DD
Uncle's taste of music is just unforgettable.

Our Ferrari.

Views along our journey up to the rainbow waterfall.

I can just picture how pretty the sunrise in Sungai Lembing.






After 45 minutes of ride, it was time to get down for some climbs. Before that, we have to cross a river:)


Need a picture before we ruin our hair

The climb was not too tough, just gotta be really careful. Taaaadaaaaa, Sungai Lembing Waterfall!




It was worth the pay to get up!
-Rides to and fro
-Guided by an uncle
-A cup noodle
-A cup of milo




Eating and drinking hot milo in such breeze was great:))) What to do next?? Of course to head in the water!






We only had time to play in the water a short while. I had gotten used to how bumpy the car is. It was more exciting to head up than to head down. Head down meaning I have to end all these in a short bit :(

Then, we went back to shower and I had a short chat with aunty. I hope my next lembing visit, I can try the BBQ by aunty :)) Thanks for the chicken wing! ;)) Tasted great.

Off to Teluk Cempedak after that.




Our last stop was the food court to have chicken chops.
I hope the ride back didnt scare any of them. I was actually quite happy that they were asleep on the way back. There were a few times that I dont think my eyes can take it anymore but seeing JK sleeping at the back so comfortably, I decided to continue to drive.

Thought I can last longer but the car lights from opposite direction and winding roads Bentong Genting areas were making me to use up my energy almost double. Best of all, everyone reached home safely:)) Fatigue will be gone in no time;)

... and Thank you for keeping me awake <3

Seoul Day 5: Namdaemun and Namsan Tower

I am trying so hard to run away from reality now and not face any of my assignments or Japanese. Friday Night is just too hard for me. Serious mode off.

It took me quite a while to book Fifth day onwards because It is going to be longgggg and tedious. I need time for this. Anyway Back to Seoul Days! :)))))

Fifth day was a day of adventure and excitement!!

First day of travelling alone
The sense of accomplishment of moving around alone is seriously freaking good.
I was not planning to head to Namdaemun but oh well since it was so nice, I just suddenly felt like stopping by to take a look.




Glass Noodle Hotteok!

Sauce for the hotteok

A group of ahjummas that gathered outside in the cold and ate along with their friends


After Namdaemun, I continued my journey to Namsan Tower with those i-guide. 

"How do I go to Namsan? Can I walk from here?"
She stared at me and said "Nononono, you cant walk to Namsan. You can take the bus up. "Then she went on and on telling me how.

I did my research and found out there is a Namsan Park nearby. I thought I should visit the park too since I am near there. Fortunately, I listened to the lady and took the bus. Hahahaahaha. Walking up to Namsan Tower from the park is like O______________________________________O Thanks!

I was quite excited and I had a time of myself sitting by the bus window. Not knowing how long it takes and what scenery I will see. Just kept sitting each time and wait till the crowds start going down.When we about to reach, I started to see tiny white stuffs dropping down. I was like OMG this can't be true. Snow?? SNOW?? :')))) We were told by some koreans that Seoul does not snow that often. I had no expectations of seeing snow during my trip. The feeling is quite indescribable since seeing snow used to be on my wishlist. 

The moment I stepped out from the bus, I opened my hands widely to welcome the snow. :') Smiling like an idiot. Reaching to Namsan area, it was actually quite cold for me. My hands were like frozen but I was forcing myself to take out my gloves to snap pictures. One sad thing of this whole snow scene was I can't jump around with any of my friends during that spectacular moment. That was why I went crazy messaging some of them and my family once I got back to my home stay. What I got to see is enjoy myself there and observe the joy snow brings to other people. Everyone was so happy there especially those non-koreans. My mood almost hit the top with the presence of the snow. I was so grateful that I managed to see snow in such a nice place. Suddenly, Namsan Tower became such a romantic place. It was just romantic with the snow despite no one was with me! pretttyyyyyyy


The lovely bus that took me up! :DD

Bunch of happy foreigners that were with me during that moment

:DDDD

Each time I see this, I just feel happy

Zoom in closer to spot the snow and the dude with the mickey. Kyeopta

Climbing up before reaching the tower

Free show outside the counter

See her coat see her shoes. Too bad cant see her face here. Pure cuteness!  She played really well with the birdies.

You can't miss this scene when you are at Namsan Tower. A place where couples come and lock their promises. You can spot all spot of weird weird stuffs there. Bicycle chains and mini dustpan (Y)

The number of couples that been here

I just had the bulu roma moments when I see all these old chains. 

Even the Christmas trees were decorated with padlocks

The view up in the Namsan tower was not great especially in the winter. Nothing much to see with the amount of won I paid - -' Outside of the tower was much more interesting. 




Their toilet!


stay sweet guys!

If even LUF WCK so happen to come across my blog, I hope er, you dont mind.
There are a lot of messages like these. ‘promise that we will be back here again' (Y) (Y) :))) best wishes to you guys <3

I was running late to what I planned. My schedule after Namsan Tower was shopping for the girls! :D Went Myeongdong again and buy buy buy and buyyyyyy. I bought too many at one spot until people were staring at me and the bags on my hands. I Needed another hand. It was fun to shop for them! Seeing new stuffs exploring and all :D

Thanks to CY's tumbler request, I got a free starbucks drink! :D Cappucino :ppp A hot drink in the cold is freaking good.

With all the shopping and all, I had forgotten about my dinner. It was a bit too heavy for me so I headed back since there is always home delivery in Seoul! Julie to the rescueee :)))

My jajangmyeon and jjampong (spicy seafood noodle)

Jjampong was SPICY. I did not like the noodle too. Jajangmyeon was love. Ended my night with updating peeps about the snow!! :D
