Korea, Day 2.

Took the train to the next station which was Masjid Jamek.

Jk.

Next station, Namdaemun Market.

Namdaemun market ni macam a great spot if you're looking for authentic foods, they were so many food stalls and baju-baju jugak. 

The first thing we did was having lunch.

We were being forced by local ahjummas to eat at their stall and at this point we couldn't resist as there were getting a bit agressive haha siap tolakkan kerusi stool tu for us.

We looked around and tried to politely say no.

"All menu the same" "All menu the same" the aunty shouted softly.

"Look" pointed us the menu that were sticked to the wall or door wtv that was.

Ok la kalau dah gini gayanya hahahaha

We sat, though we didn't want to.

The portion was huge, each person got 1 dish and mini dish that costed us 8,000 won per set.












Idk la how to describe but each set comes with mini/small dish of another food.

So let's say I got the cold-rice noodle then it will also come with small dish of soup noodle.

However, I got myself bibimbap and was given a seaweed soup (?) and small dish of soup noodle which I tasted but couldn't finish. The bibimbap itself was a huge portion pastu ahjumma tu tambah lagi satu small dish, ARGH I was to overwhelmed to finish them all.

We were defeated; none of us could finish the meal.

Dahla each person dapat set macam ni. So, 24,000 won times 3.

RM24 per person for lunch, Okla? My bibimbap was good, 7/10.





Too much for 2 perut besar and 1 perut kecil.






The makcik siap tanya, kenapa tak habis? (after translated from korea) 

We were kenyang-yeyo ahjumma kamsakhamikdak

Largh jawo.

Next, coffee!

My bucket list was to taste their coffee so I did.

Bought cafe latte for 3,500 won and it tasted soooo good. This one with 1 pump of sugar and really made me wanting for more.











I wouldn't say it was too different with Malaysian coffee but their coffee was a bit unique. I love how the bitterness didn't overpower the whole flavour. It left a lingering after-taste but not too heavy which was just what I wanted. 10/10 for that.

After a coffee break, we continued our itinerary which was to go to Onion Cafe in Anguk. To get there we had to transfer train to line 3 from line 4 and stop at Anguk Station. It was a steady walk to the cafe and you will see the cafe on your left.

We were at the front gate for god knows how long taking million pictures and videos until finally made our way inside and relax a bit. 

The coffee was meh, I liked the one at the market better, 7/10.

The pastry was a croissant filled with either cream cheese or yogurt I couldn't remember which but I am positive it tasted more like cream cheese than yogurt aha! this one melted in my mouth. Sedap, pergi beli.

Eh yang ni agak pricey, the coffee costed us around 7,000 won tak silap and the food more or less than 5,000 won. We were there for pictures technically but had to buy something to reserve a seat so yea gais.

You see, remembering how happy I was traveling with my friends makes me sobbing because we paid all of this using the only money we had time internship thinking it will be the best trip ever and yes it was, atleast for me. Through ups and downs we climbed those endless stairs carrying our luggages naik tangga ya Allah hanya tuhan yang tahu penat first day tu. 

We mostly didn't think much about the price because we wanted to experience everything we could and that was the best part of this trip. We couldn't care less just take our money.

Anyway, we went back to our airbnb to solat, mandi, and tukar baju.

After maghribi, we went to DDP in Dongdaemun. Best, but I wish we went during the day and take picture of the unique shaped building tapi masa tak mengizinkan. At that point, we squeezed whatever we could to avoid wasting time. You can waste your time on a guy but not on a trip with your bestie especially when you are in Korea, take it from me. 

As far as I could remember this one wasn't on our itinerary but we went anyway.

Tangkap gambar then we walked a bit to go Cheonggyecheon Stream and healing a bit and whilst we were walking we saw an ice cream stall.

The ice cream sedap nak mampuih.

Mixed of matcha and vanilla, 4,000 won per cone. 

Nak pusing and beli lagi tapi yang satu ni pun jenuh nak habiskan. 

Ice cream dekat Korea ni rasa dia very light and extra less susu cos Malaysia punya the susu taste overpowers.

Sambil habiskan ice cream we walked to the destination and healing and took pictures (asked a couple to take our pictures she was so nice to layan us)

We called it a night and took a long train to our airbnb.

Day 2, adapting to their culture and environments. 

Penat jalan continues the next day.

Sorry not sorry for my mixed-tense english is my second language.


Arigato for reading, until the next entry,

D.

Cheesy story coming your way..... Changing the speed to 2x, On 2019, I had a crush on him, I made a wild move by confessing my feelings to him and not expecting anything in return. 2 years later, he confessed back his feelings on a random evening while I was in Kedah enjoying life and didn’t look forward to getting into a relationship again pun. I just got out of a 5 years relationship when he approached and no, I didn't expect that this guy I confessed my feelings to would be my husband today but here we are.  It's beautiful how I remember the first time we met, he was in denim jacket he just bought the night before and I wore a blazer I bought a week ago tryna impress each other for first impressions and somehow we nailed it. Then, there was a second date and another date, dates after dates, dating and dated, date and dates, 6 months passed.  I told him I didn't wanna get married, I was ego, I was firm with my decisions. "We can date but I never wanted to marry anyon...

Sincerely, FTBOMH.

I've always been excited to write a new entry, Because I value capturing my deep thoughts and feelings so much. Hence, this one, this entry, Comes from the bottom of my heart. - To forgive is to let go. Forgiving requires a lot of strength and no heavy dumbbell could ever top the strength it takes. Why to forgive is to let go? Just because you forgive does not mean it will be erased from your memory. Sometimes it builds up and becomes trauma,  Sometimes it lingers, Sometimes it resurfaces and left you feeling miserable. I'm talking about the kind of pain that doesn't offer even an inch of understanding, Still you build the courage to forgive and to survive the pain. Especially when you are trying to move on and focus on your life, some days are not always a rainbow.  But it's a survival traits you need to have - to hurt deeply, but still choose to forgive. - Until these days, some things still crosses my mind, I will instantly break down and I will be in the state of em...

Gelap sebentar.

Walaupun boleh diputarkan waktu, Untuk satu detik yang sudah berlalu, Berilah apa pun yang termampu, Tetap takkan aku mahu. Jujur, aku terdiam kejung. Masih terngiang-ngiang setiap kilasan, Akan perasaan amarah kamu yang terumpung, Walau seribu tahun pun masih terkesan. Apa kamu lupa? Yang aku masih disini. Mencari asbab untuk disapa, Mencari setia yang lama tersepi. Aku berganjak, mengundur diri, Luka ini aku tiup, aku baluti, Dengan sayu dan segunung simpati, Merayu dan berharap esok tiada lagi, Perit ini yang terpaksa aku lalui. Masih, D.
