Happy Lunar New Year!

First angbao (red packet) of the year from my grandmother!

Happy Lunar New Year everybody! In Korea, the Lunar New Year is also celebrated so... 새해 복 많이 받으세요!

It's the horse year this year (according to the zodiac signs) so there are many many horse puns going on out there - SUPER FUNNY. One of the horse puns shared around on Whatsapp that I've received so far:

The bottom left corner one HAHAHA last warning


Hahaha ending with a photo of myself in the Korean Hanbok - I have a whole collage of all the failed/NG photos I took in the Hanbok that I'm still contemplating on whether to upload or not. Hehe.



Happy holidays y'all!! Short respite from school~~~

Home



Hi y'all, sorry for the lack of updates - towards the end of my exchange it was all a blur and there was SO MUCH to do before I left haha. I'm home now, and this is how I spent my weekend/past (brutally painful) week. Back where I came from, back where I grew up. Haha. I'll update more about exchange still!! The backlog needs to be cleared because I'm OCD. Meanwhile I'm falling behind in schoolwork ALREADY because I missed two days of school and have been busy squeezing training in haha

Boy Who Cried Wolf

Exo fangirls right here so a few weeks back (before Christmas) we went to the pop-up Exo store at Garosugil!



Whoop whoop have always wanted to go to the pop-up store but didn't have any kakis to go with so this time I went with #billiegene HAHA (Billie + Gen).

I loved how the Exo members went in before and vandalized the shop hahahaha so many interesting things to see on the walls! I hardly looked at the merchandise being sold because it was way overpriced haha also, most of the patrons were more interested in taking photos of the shop (and taking photos with the shopkeepers LOL) than buying stuff.



Super loved how they vandalized this HAHA look at the two extra humans drawn underneath the hats Chen and Lay are holding omg too funny



Heights marked out by the Exo members!


Neon lights at the mini cafe/restaurant-ish part (aka School Canteen) of the shop



Matching my left hand onto Tao's left hand lolol



Cannot bear to buy this for myself because when will I use it?! But, at the same time, I can't stop staring at it hahaha


Special Exo Christmas tree! Cos we were there before Christmas

I think all fans should give the shop a visit aahahaha I really liked the concept of it being a "school" so the basement was like a locker room, and there was a dorm room (the one with the double-decked bed). Super loved how the members were there in the shop itself and gave it their personal touch by drawing and "vandalizing" the walls hahaha so interesting walking around the shop looking at all the minor details left behind by the members!!

This pop-up store was meant to close in November I think? But they've been extending the dates so whoop, lucky thing we went before it's too late. I tried to find out when it closes but I can't :/ I remember Billie told me it's open until sometime in March 2014 I think!!




Directions:
Take to Sinsa Station on Line 3 and get off at Exit 8.
Walk straight for a bit then turn left and continue down the road. The pop-up store should be on your left and a crowd of high school girls would probably be there ahaha
