Oopsie daisy, sorry for the slight delay in uploading this post – I was too lost in Song Jae Rim’s charms whenever I tried to edit the photos hurhurhur. Anyway, after I got my makeover on Day 2 of Laneige’s Global Beauty Camp, it was totally game face on for the finale of the event – … Continue reading
I’m noticing that everybardy’s headed to my motherland these days since I’m suddenly getting an influx of emails about Korea. From these mails, it seems like everyone’s only got one thang on their minds – shopping. It dawned on me that I’d never actually blogged about the tax refund process in Korea, and since I’m … Continue reading
I remember spewing some pseudo-philosophical ramble some time ago about how good things begin with the alphabet C, with the prime example being me Cheryl (yes, shamelessly plugging myself as usual heh), Chanel, Cartier, Chomp Chomp (a local food joint in Serangoon Gardens Singapore) and now, CC creams have joined the rank of awesome Cs. … Continue reading
I’ve always wished for affordable Korean fashion in Singapore, so when I got an SMS from a long-time friend inviting me to the grand opening of Headline Seoul in Singapore, I knew I had to be there, even if I had to squeeze out some time in between attending the press conference of Lady First … Continue reading

In my entire life, I’ve only been slapped once, and that was by my dad when I was an impertinent 8-year-old brat. I daresay I deserved it. Hah. Last week, I got slapped again – by the sands of Jeju beaches. I kid you not – the winds were so strong that they’d blow along … Continue reading
Several months back, Singapore’s flagship carrier SIA had a crazy cheap promotion for tickets to Seoul – I think it was about $600ish, versus the usual $800+ for a ticket. That’s why so many people are heading to Korea these few months. My money went to Korean Air though, since my lifelong goal is to … Continue reading
Waiting for dinner to be cooked.. Nom nom nom. Now this is one of the more popular places in Myeongdong, and it’s also a safe place to eat at. I’m not saying you’ll be mugged – it’s safe cos the menus are in english, there’s pictures, and you can’t really go wrong with fried/grilled spicy … Continue reading
The brain juices don’t freeze despite the -19 degrees Celsius weather 😀 Saw this at dongdaemun while stocking up on my Korean fashion pieces. Cute max! Totally brought a smile to my frozen face. Hah.
If I ever were to migrate to Korea or to go there for a 3-month holiday, I wouldn’t worry about being homeless. I’d just drag my luggage to the nearest jjimjilbang 찜질방 (public bath, sauna) and check myself in. It’s a mere KRW5,000-10,000 per entry. It’s one of the things I’ve done in Korea that … Continue reading
If I ever grew some money-making balls, I’d totally set up a store in Sinchon 신촌, Seoul. It’s a stretch located near Ewha Women’s University이화여자대학교 , and every one knows that it’s so easy to earn our money. Hell, even I admit that my money is easy to be earned. Just implement some fancy blinged … Continue reading
When I first visited Seoul in 2009 for a press trip, this place was one of the locations that stood out. I mean honestly, who would have thought to spend billions of won to restore a rundown stream right smack into the centre of the city? This place is called Cheonggyecheon Stream 쳥계천 (pronounced chee-ong-gay-chon). … Continue reading
