all i need is just SMILE!!

so, early in the morning yesterday i had to go to Gimpo airport to meet the professor from hotel&tourism department. we were going to meet a group of staff from Universiti Teknologi Mara, Skudai. She said they wanted to make a collaborations with each other to send SMU students to do internship in Johor Bahru.

it started great in the morning. i managed to get a cab at 6.30am, then the bus to the airport at 7.30am. The ride was two and a half hours. but here is where i made a mistake.. apparently the bus doesn't just stop at Gimpo, but he also went straight to Incheon airport. I missed the stop at Gimpo, and end up being in Incheon!!

I was worried we were going to be late for the meeting. so i told my professor to meet me in Seoul instead, where the meeting was.

Thankfully the express train was faster than the bus. i made it from the airport to the meeting place in just 40minutes!! and i arrived just in time to meet the UTM representatives.

although it was raining all day, my day became better after the meeting.

after we said our goodbyes i went straight to Itaewon for my afternoon pray. There is where i met other fellow Malaysians. They were traveling for 8days, and we exchanged numbers just in case they needed help.

Then on the train on my way to the bus station, and old man almost made it to the exit door but missed it. he thought he could stop the door from closing using his umbrella, but the umbrella was too tiny it has no effect at all! still, his umbrella was stuck, he was struggling to take it out, no helped him, so i grab another end of the umbrella and managed to take it out from the door.

We exchanged smiles, and it was a good feeling having to help another,
especially when you were the foreigner (^^)

as i arrived at the bus station, i managed to get the 5pm bus, which was 30minutes from the moment i bought it. Usually this time i would be looking for something to eat, but since i was fasting, i wasn't tempted at all.

As i rode the bus it was raining heavily all the way, but the rain already stopped once i arrived at my campus at 7pm.

i bought a Kimbab to break my fasting.

then in my room after 2hours i fell asleep like a baby. it was so tiring.
but i had another awesome experience! (^^)

EXCHANGE STUDENT TRAVEL TIPS PART1: What to bring to SMU?

*for  TIPS Part 2 << click here TIPS Part 3 << click here Hello to my future 동생! (Juniors^^) Congratulations to the students who made it as SMU-UniKL Exchange Students for this coming semester! Ok, so that is just the tip of the iceberg. Now I bet some of you kids are freaking out about what to bring. Sebab kalau cite pasal duduk kat hostel UniKL, mesti ada banyak yg bawak atau tinggal berkotak2 barang untuk diguna balik for the next semester. Dgn baldi, papan seterika, hanger baju la bagai~ blablabla, hahaha, za pun macam tu jugak :p One of the obvious issue here is that you're not gonna come here to Korea with your family's car. You're going to take a plane, which has a luggage weight limit. So, confirm korg kena tinggal baldi yg korg dh pakai for 6 Semester kt Malaysia. Not to worry! I'll try to narrow down the list for you lovely kids as much as I can. First thing first; MUST HAVE/DO CLOTHING :

Kaki ku sejuk.. Kasut basah!!

I had the most awesome time when three of my friends from way back then came to visit Seoul. (Gamelan Astena rawks!) When one of them asked me last year if I was going to be here for a long time, I immediately jump and told him to come and visit Korea. Actually I've said this millions of time to everybody who asked me about this. It was getting kinda boring being here alone, so I told everyone I know that if they ever wanted to visit Korea I'd be more than happy to be their guide. and these three fellas did!! We started to hang out when me and my girlfriends (Helena & Jaja) decided to randomly join the Gamelan club in Uniten. It was one of my best memories there. Basically theatrical club gathers the most awesome bunch of people you can ever find in any campus. So, naturally these fellas are one of the funniest friends I know. and because of them I had the best time in my most dull winter in Jecheon. Although we were freezing to death in the minus degrees weather, w...

Waiting for my Guitar to arrive

My "Gamelan" friends from Malaysia is coming to visit Jeju/Seoul next week. I'm excited to hang out and be the tour guide for them. I still haven't decided if I should be flying home this year, because spending Aidilfitri in a foreign country sounds interesting and I might not be going home until 2014. So, I asked this friend of mine to bring me something from Malaysia. It was something that I missed so much. My guitar... Been doing some web-accounts-spring-cleaning and I found an old blog of mine where I kept all the songs I've written during my 3rd year in UniKL. It wasn't really radio material, but when I listened back to my songs I was quite impressed with myself because I haven't written any new stuff since I've graduated last year. So I decided to find back my muse. Hope I still got it (ㅠ_ㅠ) Can't wait for my friends to arrive here, and my guitar!^^
