I’ve been away from Tumblr so long I felt so disconnected with my inner self.

Difficult decisions

Decisions are always scary, especially those that requires you to change your current lifestyle. And that’s scary.

Sometimes, it’s about moving into the unknown, the ambiguity. 

As I think about my next step, I realized some things:

- If you think too much, you have more fear. 

- If you worry too much, you will stay constant. 

- If you care too much, you remember what others want but forgot what you want. 

- The mind is a funny thing, it will try to discourage you from making the choice you want.

Hit The Beat !

GFriend - Me Gustas Tu

So... it’s been a long time since I posted on Tumblr. Too many things in life. 

New girl group, they became famous after their “tripping” performance that went viral. Even though I don’t really notice the new girl groups (too many popping out) they are one that caught my ears for their super catchy and hyper songs.

Good when you need an energetic song to hype you up in gym!

Back in SG

literally the heading..

So.. I’ve been back in SG for about a month, the hot weather is still getting to me :(

Still missing my life in Korea where stress is almost non-existence, but have to say my life has been more fulfilling ever since I started working. Tiring, Crazy, but fulfilling. 

Before you start pitying me, I am working in a game company, GUMI, where everything is colourful, developers de-stress with nerf guns etc..

If you’re familiar with the gaming world, Brave Frontier is created by us. Pretty interesting huh? I’m not really into RPG but I’m trying..! sorta.. haha

Anyway, I’ll be back with my KPOP section soon!

Hit The Beat !

10cm - 애상 (Sorrow)

I think this is my first non-kpop song but give it a go, you might realise why this song has been on repeat for me these days.

[shermaineteng]

Hit The Beat !

2PM - Go Crazy

my fav idol group is back & their song is a hit as usual! Just the right fit for their character IMO, as they're always carefree & do what they want in their reality shows.

Nami Island 남이섬

Nami Island is one attraction that u should totally visit for it's scenery! It is in Gyeonggi-do(경기도), about an hour and a half away from Seoul & u can reach there by public transport or rent a car if u are in a group. As usual, directions below~

So I've actually been to Nami Island twice, once in Autumn once in Winter. However, for winter I went while being a guide so I didn't actually took the ferry & went in.

I went during a Sunday(i forgot about it :O) &it was packed with people. Had to wait about 5mins for the ferry to arrive but surprisingly the amount of people doesn't seem really packed. The Island is big enough.

Just had to take with the Singapore flag I saw on the ferry..

All pictures seem pretty because the scenery is so postcard-pretty!

And when I went recently, I was amazed at the amount of snow because even though we get snow, we don't have snow piling up like in Nami Island where u can even build a snowman.

Look at how pretty everything is when it's covered in white~

Do u want to build a snowman~~

I had so much fun with the snow. IT REALLY FEELS FLUFFY~!

Pretty huh?

But if u're coming during winter be sure to prepare a hot pack & thick padding clothes! 

Till the next post, bye~~

Directions

From Gapyeong Bus Terminal or Gapyeong Station, take a taxi to Namiseom parking lot. (Travel time: 10-15 min) Take the ferry from Namiseom Dock to Namiseom Island. (Travel time: 5-6 min) Shuttle Bus (From Seoul to Namiseom Island) * Bus Stop  1) Insa-dong (Jonggak Station, Subway Line 1, Exit 3): Next to Tapgol Park 2) Jamsil Station (Subway Line 2, Exit 4): In front of Lotte Mart

hello, i'm interested in work exchange in kimchee guesthouse. when is the best time to apply for the job? (example: 1 month before arrival). did you get simple training before you start working? what are the benefits? do you have any tips? thank you have a nice day :)

hi!

thanks for your mail!

when do you plan to come to korea? you can email to us and the manager will contact you if there is available position. however, if you mention that you saw it from my tumblr, you are more likely to be considered *winks

yes, training will definitely be given but it is all simple cleaning chores so don't worry. 

benefits of working in the guesthouse? firstly i made a lot of friends, korean and international. in the guesthouse u get to meet people from all over the world. also, staffs are like family, we play, we fight, we eat, we laugh all together. it is a bonding that i will never have in other places.

hope to see you here soon~!

^^
