[Part 2] 123. Singaporean girls in Myeongdong

OMG I slept from 4-11am. I was supposed to go to the gym at 7.30am. FAIL. Again :(
I met Alex for lunch and we had 냉면 nengmyeong or cold noodles. Unfortunately, I ordered the wrong one for us :( Instead of 물냉면 water cold noodles i.e. non-spicy, I ordered 비빔냉면 with the gochujang i.e. spicy and both of us almost died. It was sooooo spicy! I will have the water cold noodles ONLY next time :( After lunch, I headed to Soul Kitchen Coffee to study. Before we parted ways, Alex joked that Jimmy would be there at the cafe because he likes the cafe but I didn't believe him.
After putting my stuff down at a nice study corner on the 2nd floor of the cafe, I went to the 1st level to buy a green tea latte and lo and behold, I met Jimmy at the cashier area. Alex was right, afterall!
I was supposed to attend 2 classes today but I skipped them both to study Investments and it was quite a fruitful session! YW popped by to lend me his umbrella, just in time for the rainy day it was today!

Jeannie and I met up with Beatrice, Minqi, Prise and Kyungho for dinner in Myeongdong. Finally, the LAK girls reunited! We've been in Korea for so long but never had a meal together at all :( And it was fun, speaking in Singlish to one another. Initially, I suggested Din Tai Fung but wasn't quite sure where it was. Since we were at Noon Square, we decided to go up to the 2nd highest floor for Crystal Jade. There was an international buffet at a Jap restaurant upstairs for 36,000KRW. Unfortunately, there was a really long queue for it so we headed back to Crystal Jade. There was no more white rice available when we placed our order and were informed of a waiting time of between 30-40 minutes for the white rice to be cooked so we ordered 2 plates of fried rice and split them between us. The dinner cost 80,000KRW for quite a number of dishes (I can't remember how many!) Each of us paid just 15,000KRW for a dinner that tasted like home so it was good money :) After dinner, we shopped for a fair bit before heading to Tea'us for ice cream (paid by Kyungho, thanks!) I love the green apple ice cream flavour!!! I bought 2 hairbands and a ring from Myeongdong today. Pretty stuff :)
