Summer School in Korea & A First Giveaway!

13Aug11

Hi lovelies,

Gosh my last post was about two months ago! I was facing some technical glitch with OnSugar so I couldn't post entries. There's so many unposted entries in my drafts, but I don't feel like posting them up now cos they are so backdated. Well, just an update on my personal life:-

  • I am sooo done with college! I've yet to have my convocation ceremony & all that glitz, but yes, I have graduated with a Degree in Communications. Feels pretty swell to have the word "under" scraped off from Undergraduate ;)

 

  • Spent my last semester abroad in a university in Seoul, South Korea. I came back about two weeks ago. You may have seen pictures on my FaceBook :) Hands down, it was the best Summer of my life and it didn't even feel like school cos I only have three hours of class everyday. Felt more like a grad trip, in fact!

 

Love the culture, the people, the city & of course, shopping! Korea is the house brand of many cosmetic names we're familiar with in Singapore. Nature Republic, Etude House, The Face Shop, Tony Moly, Holika Holika and Skin Food, just to name a few. Previously, I thought some of these brands were from Japan (yes, blame it on my nonchalance hehe)! So most of the cosmetics there are 3-5x cheaper. I actually regretted not buying more for myself cos I was afraid my baggage will overload :/  

I'll post photos of my humble buys in another entry & keep posted cos I have a Korean Loot to giveaway!

For now, I shall post a few photos of my Summer in Seoul:-

 

Seodaemun Prison Museum

 

Namsan Tower where lovers entwine their locks (those are thousands of locks behind us!)

 

DMZ tour at the 38th parallel between N and S Korea

 

With my close Korean friend, Jay, at Everland Themepark

 

We took the steepest rollercoaster ride in the world there (4 min ride)! Check out the crazy plunge at the extreme right of the track.

 

With my professor from Princeton Uni and my good friend in class (it wasn't all play hehe)

 

The beautiful campus and my sweet friend

 

And the crazy night life there!

 

Thanks for browsing through. Talk to you soon, lovelies! Annyeong!

@eliza: Thanks, darling! I didn't have the chance to let the news out cos of the OnSugar glitch, plus I was paranoid that smtg bad is gonna happen which disallows me to go (like my air ticket is invalid or a sudden disaster strike, yes I am that paranoid hahah) so I didn't wanna officially announce it!

@charlene: Thank you, Charlene! :DD Yes it feels great, and thanks to your recommendation, I tried/bought so many Holika products in Korea! Can't wait to post them up here!
