Im going to Korea with Laneige Malaysia team ,
 which is another winner (fong) & a 'nanny' (Jojo) from Laneige Malaysia HQ.

My flight was 1AM  at KLIA2 , had a good sleep in the plane . 

my fingers turn into red , itchy & dry just after I step out from airport. 
the weather was -5 Celsius and -7 at night . The wind was so strong too x_x
luckily I bought leather glove from Uniqlo Malaysia ! 


Our hotel at Holiday-Inn Express just beside LANEIGE Korea HQ building !
which located just 5 mins away from the famous MyeongDong market ! teehee!!!!

our transport + hotel + foods + event is absolutely 100% arranged by Laneige Q_Q  
thank you so so so much 

With Jojo 
after make up & hairdo . WE ARE SO READY TO SHOP & START OUT JOURNEY ! 

why the natural lighting is so so so so pretty there !!!!???? 
which in Malaysia , this sunlight + hot weather = sweaty hair + smudge make up . 
-_- 

we have no idea what to eat & dint understand any korea words nor language. 
I only know those super basic one like oppa, saranghea , omma , daebak, hana, dul ...etc .
all learnt from Runningman hahahaha. 
our first meal treated by Laneige Malaysia 
ahjumma is very friendly and tried to explain to us how to order & what they have. 
so we ordered ginseng chicken stuffed with rice & hot ginseng soup. 

Our  foods is here! the kimchi is SO FRESH !  SO CRUNCHY ! 
 Now I know what's the difference with Malaysia & korea Kimchi ... haha
Korea Kimchi is super fresh mai god 
each meal cost around RM50 for each person. 
Kinda expensive thou . but definitely worth a try !


we took a very short walk around Myeong Dong and we need to head back to our hotel lobby to meet up others winners from others country , Thailand, Taiwan, Vietnam , Hong Kong , China & our neighbour Singapore . Total 20 + persons in a bus :)

Thanks to Invisalign, I can go to travel without worry about the monthly check up & most importantly I can eat anything I want :P 
I can smile wide anytime I want too~ 

we're on our way to visit a traditional museum & learn more about their culture. 

laneige korea even hired a super super friendly and very well english spoken tour guide !
her name is flora ~ and yes, this is our group from South East Asia .

the sky is so bright, clear & fresh 

my hair curl stays like forever. maybe because because the weather there is dry ? 


after a quick tour from museum & we head to the Korea famous NamSan Tour (Just like our KLCC) 
we go up by cable car  

the view is so breath taking ! 



But also SO FREEZING COLD UP THERE !!!!! 
SUPER STRONG WIND OMG

2 layers of leggings and a pair of jeans , boots , scarf , leather glove !!!
I'm still shaking so badly ! 

the view is so breath taking *o* 

A quick view from NamSan Tour

After awhile Laneige brought us to a 5 stars buffet in NamSam tower !!!!!!!!

its a perfect dining place for couple !!! This view is so so so romantic !!!!!! Ishhhhhh!!!!


The foods is dayummmmmm! Especially this smoke salmon salad... I had 2 big plates...
the salmon is so thick & so fresh !!!! 

After our dinner Laneige team gave each of us one of this schedule .
I can't wait to start my Day 2 immediately! 

After dinner our bus stopped at Myeong Dong market because they know we want to shop haha. 
Night time MyeongDong is even more happening ! 
look at the trees decorate with LEDs , every corner also very romantic. 

MUST TRY THIS GIANT CHOC STRAWBERRY MOCHI !!!!!

As for the actual name of this market, I'm sorry,
 I don't know and I couldn't find any informations about it in internet :( 
All I know it is between Siam Discovery mall and Siam centre . 
available in weekend night time . 
very easy to find because there was a station nearby .

This market compared to other's market is considered small BUT for handmade lovers definitely can't miss out this one. I dint plan to go for this market , I'm actually going to Siam Paragon to get my YSL  cosmetics but accidentally found this small handmade market. I was so excited !
well because I'm a handmade lover! 

the market is actually look like this, not big, but every booth is full of surprise . 

The first booth I stopped by was this one, handmade leather bracelet and necklace ! 

Price range RM5- RM50 ++ 

one of my favourite ! the leather is so soft ! 
Just wear a simple Tee shirt, short pants & this bracelet and we're good to go! 
simple yet stylo <3 
but I dint buy this one cause there were more attractive things waiting for me ahead ! 

it's only RM5 with customise my own name on it ! 
The quality was good , cheap & nice ~ 

I've noticed Bangkok have more & more leather handmade accessories .

You can get it immediately on the spot *_* 

favourite design was this one, so cute & simple! 

they have a huge catalog for us to choose ,
Step 1 , choose the colour of your customise words. 



Step 2, choose the design of your customise words . 

Step 3 : Choose your background . 
as simple as that! 
I am super super super regret that I dint do one for my own , because by that time I was using Samsung Note2 and they don't have that model . and now I've changed to iPhone 5s :(
