#KOREA: Iwha Mural Village, Namsan Tower

It's almost June 2015 and I'm blogging bout my Korea trip last year coz I am bored HAHA. Today's destination will be Iwha Mural Village where they have a lot of street arts like we have in Penang, AND the very famous Namsan Tower!! 

Let's get started :D

So in the morning we went to have brunch as usual, I've forgotten where is this coz it was quite long ago you see. HAHA.

 THIS WAS SO AWESOME. 

Anyway, after having our brunch, we headed off to Iwha Mural Village! The weather is freaking freezing cold and we have to walk pass Naksan Park, which is quite far and cold T_T to the place. It was a looooonngggg walk and it would be better if it wasn't that cold :( It snowed a little too!!!

 This was taken when we were on the way up to the slope/mountain or whatever you call. 

IT WAS SO TIRING.

 Got to catch some really artistic street arts (?)! 

 and more roads.... 

They actually have a map to find all the street arts at Iwha Mural Village, but I didn't know until I saw a tourist holding it LOL! So I just asked her where are the few famous ones, to save our time haha :p and there were ice on the floor so it was quite slippery to climb all the way up there :( Nevertheless, we still took some pics as memories! :D

 One of the most famous street art of Iwha Mural Village :D There were a lot of people taking pics on it so... it was normally quite crowded.

Lol if you're wondering why did I put on my hoodie, COZ IT WAS SNOWING! 

and i don't wanna get sick heheh :p

We left in quite a hurry coz we wanted to go to Namsan Tower after that before sunsets! As you know during winter the sun sets quite early so... we wanted to take pics with the beautiful scenery before the sunsets so ya. HAHA

We board on a bus to Namsan Tower and thank God I've met some girls who speak in Chinese, apparently they're Taiwanese. and the girl's husband is a Korean so he kind of taught me how to go to Namsan Tower in a quicker way. :D

 Thank God we've reached the destination before sunsets!! LOL although it almost did xD

Have to climb all the way up again coz buses/cars/any other transports are not allowed to drive up till there :3

 It was Naksan Park just now, and Namsan Park now. HAHA

 areumdaun view ~~~ the view was so breathtakingly prettyyyy! :D

 the number of love locks was unbelievable!!! 

and there were MORE!

 hello Seoul~ :D

andddd a photo with Kim Soohyun :D 

up close of N Seoul Tower before sunsets! 

Finally going home coz it was too cold :( 

On the way home, we stopped by to a restaurant to have our dinner!! We always wanted to avoid BBQ meals as they'll make our clothes smelly af... Not forgetting to mention that we have 4-5 layers of clothes coz it's winter LOL. However, we took the wrong decision to step in the restaurant HAHA. oops :( We were quite smelly after done eating lol but nevertheless the food WAS AWESOME. worth it but i still feel smelly :(

yup, the typical korean food hehe :D 

Ok, i don't know how to end this but hope you've enjoyed reading this blog post! :D

I'll try to blog other days of my trip too when I'm bored, or I've finished my exam lolol.

semester 1 exam is in 9 days and i'm officially screwed coz I'm blogging instead of studying lol.

ok bye xxx

Choices and Decisions

It's currently 12:44am right now, and I had a sudden urge to blog, lol. I'm having business test tomorrow but I haven't even finished studying... (don't be a lazy bum like me :p)

Often in this life we will encounter ourself in making choices and decisions. It's really hard to make decisions though, at least for me. Maybe I'm not independent enough, or I'm just not brave enough to do so.

Recently I had millions and billions of thoughts running on my mind. Slept really late for the past week, and even my favourite napping seems no help to me. Maybe I'm at the current stage where I don't know what I want to do, and what do I like to do. I know I should have something in mind that I love, but I can't seem to find it. It's depressing though, not knowing what you really like and want to do.

You know I am really jealous of my friends or maybe other people who are talented, or they are enjoying what they're currently doing or studying. I've learned a lot of talents since young, although I DID learnt, but I don't think I have the "talent" on that particular thing. I can't think of anything I'm good at. I'm not good at studying, playing the piano, playing basketball, ANYTHING. I don't know what I'm good at. 

However, I've reached the stage that I'm so sick of don't know what I wanna do, or what am I capable of doing. That's why I've made the decision, to finally tell my parents what I want. I'm glad I did, I'm glad they didn't say NO. I'm glad I HAVE THE OPTION to do so. I feel very lucky, and grateful. I can't thank my parents enough for supporting what I want to do. 

Since young, my parents did everything for me. Plan for me, deciding what I learn, which school I go to. But at this stage, this age, we have to do everything on our own. Deciding where we wanna go study, what we wanna do after graduating from our degree. EVERYTHING. Actually, I'm very very scared and worried that I'll make the wrong decision.

However, from the book that I've read, I've got a lot of motivation and inspirations from it. I'm gonna share some of the very inspirational stuffs I've read from the book :)

其实每次做决定的时候，都会在怕，自己到底会不会做错？

应该是太过习惯父母亲或则别人帮你决定一切了，一直在舒服的空间里长大、

所以，长大的时候，真正自己要做决定，却害怕了

成长中每踏出的一步，不是成功就是失败了、要看自己如何看待和如何处理 

虽然犯下错误，但都是自己亲身经历 拥有的独一无二的经验

所以，不要害怕，去尝试吧！

没试过，怎么知道自己不行呢？:)

对啊，每次做决定，都会一直跟别人拿建议 

“我这样做好吗？应该吗？你觉得怎样？还好吗？”

太多太多人给建议，让你不知所措，本来一直坚持的东西，却因为别人太多的建议而改变了

建议，听听就好、真正做决定的人是你自己呀！

因为那条路是自己走出来的，人家说什么也没用，因为不是他们在经历啊。

这是你自己的人生，

是属于你的小舞台，

观众当然会给你很多建议，

但最终舞台上的节目还是得由你来决定。

每个人人生里都会有个彷徨的时候，突然觉得不知该做什么，该去哪里、

耐心的该自己多点时间思考吧，慢慢想 自己到底想要的是什么

虽然要花很多时间，好过没花时间想啊！

对啊，从小就习惯了别人帮你决定，父母全都帮你弄好，

从小就过得太安逸太舒适了，结果要自己做决定时却害怕了

别人没做过的事情，就很慌乱，不敢尝试

所以啊，别害怕做决定

自己真正想要的，决定了就没人可以阻止你！

没人走过的路，不代表自己不可以走啊、

自己走出了那条路，才知道原来自己也有能力的

不一定要一直跟着别人的脚步去，朝着自己心里想要的去做吧

虽然路上很坎坷，但是 天下没有白吃的午餐！

越容易的事情就越不珍惜、越难做的东西就会越珍惜；

豁出去吧，做别人没做过的事情 :)

希望每个人都可以早日找到自己想要做的事情，

越有挑战的事情，做得出来也越有意义了不是吗？

所以别害怕困难，找个真正自己想要做的事情，努力去做就行了

在那个过程中，享受、珍惜每分每秒，成果不管好不好，你一定会对自己一开始做的决定自豪的。

大家，我们一起加油！ =)
