Big M is Great

I have fallen for McDONALD'S latest Monopoly labels collect to win promotion. Recently, I have taken more extra value meal to get my hands on more labels. As a results, I got few Instant Wins but I am eyeing the ultimate!

Merry Christmas to You

This is the final weekend before Christmas, last minute shoppers and real shopaholics are spotted everywhere in Orchard. I am dazzled by the paper bags that shoppers are carrying because they are all from top brand name like LV, Loewe....if economists see what I've seen, there is no economy downturn and no financial tsunami!

Christmas is celebrated by majority as a merry holiday oblivion of its'real meaning. "Last Christmas" by Wham re-appears as the number 1 song that played by local radio stations and shopping centres year after year has become a culture.

I have prepared presents for work place Christmas gift exchange and contributed my not so proud wrapping skill for the presents of my little nieces and nephews. I think they won't mind the unsightly wrapping at all.

Looking back into my limited blog entries, I have spent my past two years year end holiday in Japan. This year, going overseas for holiday has not crossed my mind. Is it due to stronger yen or economy crisis? I don't know. Just like those shoppers that I have brief encountered this weekend, I do not mind to spend a little to buy Christmas presents for our cherised one.

Merry Christmas to you.

A Pot of Tea

A pot of English Breakfast tea and few fashion magazines made the waiting time at the departure hall unnoticeable.

Sipping hot tea, flipping pages of glamarous articles has somewhat calmed my nerve a little.

Hardrock Yogurt

We spotted Baskin-Robbins at Incheon Airport on our last day in Seoul. Baskin-Robbins, like Dunkin' Donuts, has yet to make their presence in Singapore. Staff prepared the delicious yogurt ice-cream in front of us. I ordered something safe with strawberry, nonetheless, it was heavenly yummy.

83th Club Day

I learnt Club Day from Tour2Korea (www.tour2korea.com).   Every last Friday of the month is Club Day where "clubbers" only need to pay a flat fee of 15,000 won to enter more than 11 clubs nearby Hongik University, or 'Hongdae' (홍대). The entrance ticket covers one compliment drink.

I was excited about Club Day since I have not made my presence in clubbing scene many moons already.  We got our Korean friend, Sang Woo, to bring us there.

Our Club Day was the 83th (it was on the poster when we purchased the admission ticket, it said 83th Club Day) since it was introduced.  Admission cost has increased to 20,000 won and it covered more than 11 clubs.  We patronized two clubs and sort of danced.  You could imagine being a Friday night and also a Club Day, party-goers are hundreds in the same dance floor, shoulder to shoulder and body was rubbing to another body, frankly it was not really pleasant but for the experience.

Yummy Meals with Great Company (Part II)

This place served delicious 삼겹살 "sam-gyeop sal" (barbecue pork) and it's owner is a friendly ajumma who tried to introduce us to her friend who could converse a little bit in English.

Yummy Meals with Great Company (Part I)

Nothing beats the good food and good company. I am not a detailed person and I've forgotten to take down the names of the food that we've tasted, so I've decided to just let the pictures speak for themselves.

This place was recommended by our dance teacher from DMC Dance Company. It is conveniently located at the first floor of the building. We had this pork rib with soup, the portion didn't look big at first, yet five of us did try our best to finish it.

Break Out

Since we're going to spend Saturday night and Sunday late noon for Shinhwa's concert, Friday night was the only "free" night for us and we decided to watch "Break Out". More information of the show here. This show apparently received more applaud in England.

Dance Class

My cousin loves dancing and she has pre-arranged two mornings of private lessons at DMC Dance Company with her friends in girl hip-hop, jazz, hip-hop and popping and locking. Through her passion in dancing, she introduce hip-hop to me and opened my eyes to other types of dances.
