[Part 1] 010. 11 August 2010 Wednesday

Surprisingly, 어머님 wasn't awake when I woke up this morning; instead Youngjin was and he cooked instant noodles for the both of us for breakfast :) Nice Youngjin :)




After breakfast, 어머님, Youngjin and Taehun left for Jamsil. So Jeannie and I surfed the internet and watched TV before packing our room and getting ready to leave the apartment. We had a bit of a drama when we left because Jeannie tried to check if the door was locked as it was closing and the alarm went off. We went into panic mode as we didn't know how to stop the alarm and thankfully, we managed to contact Youngjin and he told us to slide the cover of the door's numeric lock. No keys are used in the apartments here I think...Koreans mainly use numeric locks. Phew!
We took bus 15 to Songnae Station where we had lunch at an Italian place called "Pretto". Jeannie and I shared a set for 19,500KRW which comprised of a cabonara, pizza, salad, bread, soup and 2 drinks. It was worth it and we were so full!
After lunch, we headed to Bupyeong where we shopped for quite some time. I bought a pretty green dress for 35,000KRW and a navy blue flutter sleeves blouse for 15,000KRW. When we got tired of shopping at the underground mall and nearly covered all grounds, we went upstairs to the ground level and tried to look for the place Dongsu brought us to the day before but we couldn't find the correct exit and eventually ended up at Baskin Robbins where I had a delicious Peach Melba ice cream for 2,500KRW. It's now my favourite ice cream flavour! We had a nice long chat there till 7pm+ before we headed back to Youngjin's place.

The dresses I have purchased this week...this picture doesn't do the colours justice.
We had the leftover porridge from yesterday's ginseng chicken lunch for dinner before heading out to Caffe Bene for a jasmine herbal tea for 4,000KRW for myself because I can feel a sore throat coming. We also ate odeng (fishcake) and spicy rice cake at a roadside stall. I think the tea at Caffe Bene wasn't worth it at all and I could have just boiled water and drunk it at the apartment.
There's even a meeting room in Caffe Bene! Singapore needs such a cafe!
Back at the apartment, it was just Jeannie, Youngjin and I for the night as 어머님 and Taehun slept over at the hospital to keep Youngjin's father company. As Youngjin was too scared to sleep in the master bedroom alone, Jeannie and I decided to sleep in the room with him. I intended to stay up to clear the backlog of blog entries again while Jeannie and Youngjin were sleepy and wanted to sleep. But Jeannie wanted to listen to some music so I opened my itunes. Within a few seconds, both Jeannie and Youngjin were wide awake and started downloading music on my laptop, while I had nothing to do since Youngjin hijacked my laptop and fell asleep for awhile. Youngjin also tried to be funny again and demonstrated how to speak in Konglish which is quite weird. I finally went to sleep at 3am+. I should really stop sleeping so late!
