120116 Day 1 Winter trip

Recently, i went to Korea during my semester break!! 
Jan 16th, 2012. 
Too bad Monday was a working day so everyone was busy and thank goodness Abah took a day off for me! Sayang Abah! Arrived at LCCT around 12.30pm. 
Wanna know what's his last word before my flight? 
'Jangan pergi tempat tak senonoh, tau. Jaga diri.
(Don't go to any shady place. Take care of yourself.) 
Yes, Abah dear..
I then hooked up with my travel mates: She and Kei
She's house mate, Kak Mun was one of us as well, but she had to take different flight as she's caught up with work.

 Meet my lovely Unnies..Kei and She! Inside Airasia waiting hall...i guess? Hot and stuffy!


Inside the aircraft! AirAsia! Me (far left) with my unnie Kei and She


The plane took off from Msia to Korea~70% passengers were Koreans.
Going back after holiday-ing in Msia~? These people kept ordering food while i was busy salivating over 'em! 
Was having quite a hard time adjusting to the turbulence. 
Mind you, the last time I hopped in a plane was when i was....15? 16?
9.00pm (KST). 
Me (looking out from the window): DAH SAMPAI KOREA LAH! (We have reached Korea!!) 
'Mr.pilot' announced that the temperature had hit 0 degree. Ok wow. 
We then made a quick run to the ladies room~6 hours, man! 
Btw, recording and taking photos weren't allowed! 
I didn't know beforehand ><
I squirmed when I saw a staff confiscated this guy's phone and asked him to delete the photos.
Concourse/Arrival hall. 
Immigration was smooth. If only the stamp ahjushi put on a smile -___-
Funny story, Kei and I went on a 10 sec panic mode when we saw She pointed her scarf to the stamp ahjushi. 
I thought we had to take our scarf off! 
Turned out he only wanted She to look at the camera before her. Haha!

Went downstairs (since it's already late), the shuttle train will take us to Incheon's main terminal. 
She asked the reception/counter lady near the arrival gate to ensure which bus should we get in. Yikes! 
Our bus was the last for tonight! Ran outside and the cold breeze hit us! Brrrrrrrr! 
Found the airport limousine bus, threw our baggage in and off we go to downtown! 
P/S 1 st thing I did inside the bus was touching the window. Yeah I'm a weirdo haha! It was ice cold! I loved it!
To my surprise, I managed to stay awake despite the cold (I usually pass out in moving vehicle zZzz).

Bus was nice, spacious and clean. Duh~i paid 10,000won (around rm30) for the ride;)

Kei. Missing Malaysia, already? Hehe!
She!
I looked like a hot mess >.< selca~ selca

We get off at Sejong Hotel. 
Namsan Guesthouse was about few mins walk. 
Boy, little did we know it was one hell of a walk! 
Continue reading...dun dun dun
We walked on the streets and i tried my utmost dealing with the 0'c night. 
I brought a backpack since my friends said it will be convenient to move around
So..this guesthouse....was freaking on top of the hill!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 
The street was so steep, I had to walk with while holding mt knees haha! 
7 kg backpack on my back, 3 kg hand-carry bag, I felt like dying! So were She and Kei
T____T next time, Namsan 2 please...we checked-in in Namsan 2 first before walking up to Namsan 1. 
The look on our face when the owner told us we had to walk again....*epic!!* 
We booked a twin room (2 persond+1 extra bed) ondol-heated room (korean underfloor heating). 
I didn't care how cramp and small the room was since I was too exhausted LOL.

My faker face tbh. :P
Pardon the messiness. The room was OK. Tv, small fridge, shelves, basket,  hair dryer, hairbrush.!
Each of us took a nice hot shower! 
Ah~dinner at 2am (KST) haha maggi and nasi impit. 
Mom packed everything for me! 
Sedap cecah nasi impit ngn kuah maggi ^0^ 
Anticipating for Day 2! Shopping time!
