Sokcho

"Eiii muka putih, tapi tangan hitam!"
Cis, bedebah sungguh statement itu.

Sampai guesthouse, aku terus terjah dapur. Nampak ndak kelaparan meluap².?? Jamu perut adalah penting, kaki cramp boleh lagi aku bertahan. But once gastric datang melawat, selamat tinggal cuti². Sampai 2 bowls cereal aku makan. Mampu? Cereal as lunch. 

I arrived at the bus station 10 minutes before 1pm. Bas akan park di platform, so sila alert no. platform. 

Ahjumma baru siap hiking. Time untuk kembali ke Seoul katanya. Semangat ok, diorang Q even before the bus arrives. Kami adalah se-bas.

View along the way from Sokcho to Seoul. 

Thanks to my Taiwanese friend for her adive.

"If u buy ticket, just tell the Eonnie u want window seat." 

And so I did follow her advice. Very wise decision u made Bie! 

Seriously, ini adalah sangat lawa! But my pic doesn't justify its beautifulness. 

Nearly three hours on board the bus; stopped sekali di RnR...and finally, we arrived Dong Seoul Terminal. Masa ni memang ndak fikir apa, mau cepat check in guesthouse. Mau cuci muka...mau cuci kaki...mau cuci badan! Ambil train di Gangbyeon Station & alighted at Hongik Station. Nasiblah ndak payah tukar train bagai.

Seoul

Hongik Station Line 2; Exit 8. The nearest exit to reach my guesthouse. Only 5 minutes walking distance.

Annyeong Hongdae! This area is one of the most happening during the weekend.

Settled check-in. Aku mandi & bersiap. Malam ni janji mau jumpa kawan di Myeongdong. But still ada banyak masa before out meet up, jadi aku pun tunaikan permintaan hati. his cafe has recently become a popular place...after banyak kali muncul dalam satu drama ni. Letaknya nun di Hapjeong, jalan kaki dekat 10 minutes lah juga. Demi!! Sanggup! T

"My Lovable Girl"

Ndak jumpa L-ssi pun ndak apa, janji aku dapat berada di tempat yang sama dengan beliau. Cuma masa berbeza. Paling hangin, few days after I went back to Malaysia...boleh ah diorang shooting sini for few more scenes. Grrrr!

*jeling cik HADRAWiLLiN a.k.a Nily Nil* 

Ye! Tau ko jumpa yang real. Jadi biarkanlah aku berimaginasi seketika ini. Sila jangan rosakkan mood please. Flip tudungbawal.

My early dinner treat. Last aku isi perut, lunch di Sokcho. Nanti mau dinner sama kawan, jadi eloklah jamu perut sama cheesecake super sedap ni! Seriously, sedap! 

Both buildings appeared in the drama. Aku adalah happy. Nanti aku buat entry 'khas' untuk cafe ni. 

Ahjumma said andwae (means cannot) when I ordered one serving. Because kami kan datang bertiga. Du-ge (two set) she said, ok lah terpaksa akur. Tapi Ahjumma baik hati tetap bagi kami three bowls of soup. 감사합니다.

Light (???) dinner with JM. Style kan, di Malaysia ndak mau berjumpa, di Seoul berpoyo kan. 

Masa sampai Myeongdong, kunun mau singgah Etude before jumpa JM. Sekali terserempak another blogger; Hafiz Azmi. Memang kebetulan betul. Then ndak lama, JM & her partner muncul. Borak lebih kurang, Hafiz minta diri because he had things to do.

Tiba masa cari tempat untuk melepak. JM suruh aku suggest tempat. Aku yang baru mencekik cheesecake, tiba² terliur ingat sotong pedas di Chungmu Kimbap. So moh ler kita ke sana. Ni jak pun kedai makan aku tau di Myeongdong apart from Yooganae & Eomoni Jib.

Cari branch Chungmu that I went last time tapi macam sudah replaced with Nature Republic. Luckily they have another branch there. It is located farther inside from Yooganae; next to an optical shop. Take the left narrow lane upon exiting Myeongdong Station Line 4; Exit 8. Pastu jalan straight. The shop will be on the left. Branch yang kami pegi ni kecil sikit from the previous one. Tapi sotong tetap sedap. Yums!

With the travel partner; Ms F. Kekonon pemalu & perahsia. *cari baldi*

Someone who I always 'meet' in blog & ig. And sah lah dia cam aku dulu. Aku kan sikit punya confident tayang muka di alam maya kan. 

So sesi suai kenal started with "Guess who I am" "Cer teka siapa dia ni". Cis sangat kan. But one word she uttered, terus tekaan aku betul. Sebelum tu sikit punya struggled meneka. Sampai nama DayahJ & Syieda pun naik. Sebab ndak tau nama siapa lagi perlu disebut. Grrr. But she does look a lot like u Suraya Ai! It's like u are her younger version. Matilah kena duku sama Ms F. Hampun!

Lepas sesi mencekik sotong, kami pun blah. Sebab sudah ramai customer bertukar rupa, kami tetap ndak berganjak. Malu pun terbit. So we continued our ngeteh session at a coffee shop nearby. Kerlas kan Bie, twice ko ngeteh in one night. Nasib kali ni memang ngeteh jak, ndak da side dish a.k.a dessert. Tempted juga aku tengok cake displayed at the counter tapi cepat sedar diri. Esok masih ada! Esok pun masih boleh melantak kek. Cukuplah one slice di Hapjeong tadi. 

Kong keng kong keng bercerita, it's time to go back. Nasib sedar masa & diri. Guesthouse aku stay tu ada curfew, that's why kena cabut awal. Minah berdua tu stay di seberang jalan cuma, aku ni yang parah kena transit train bagai. Lambat kalu, confirm aku transform jadi Watson Nyambek. Pecut 100m. Mentanglah kan kaki sudah sihat. 

Sampai bilik, mandi manda. Pastu layan fb & whatsapp. Ntah jam berapa aku belayar, sungguh ndak sedar diri walhal janji sama JM mau jumpa awal pagi esoknya. We're heading to the same destination so alang² JM pun ndak berapa familiar with the route, they decided to tagged along. Kunun lah aku hafal route sudah kan sebab tiap kali balik kampong memang ndak pernah missed this place. Ok juga at least ada photographer aku nanti kan. Memang dasar!

Where are we heading to? Please ah main tekateku, so yesterday Bie.
