Shopping in Seoul & Frisco.
Hee... Just the tip of the iceberg, should see the rest when the bill comes in! haha...
It had been almost half a year since i last been to San Francisco. Hee... need to stock up on my Abercrombie T shirts as well as my H20+ skin care products. It's like damn cheap lor. Provided u buy in bulk. i bought the facial wash at 3 for US$56, that's like $28 for each in SGD. haha... It would have cost me $56 per tube in Singapore.
Hee... Guilty of overspending once again. haha... and i can't help it.

Anyway not much sightseeing this time round, just went about shopping.
hee... not that i dun want to sightsee, just that by the time we ended our shopping we were dead tired. haha... I even had the idea of watching sunset at the Golden Gate Bridge and sunrise at the Oakland Bridge but ended up i slept all the way thru.
What was supposed to be a short stop back at the hotel room before heading off to catch the sunset became a dead slumber till almost 11pm. haha... the bed was too tempting already. After I dropped my shopping bags on the couch, i found myself lying on the bed, haha... telling myself, "maybe i'll rest for half an hour."
Haha... turned out the half hour rest became a 4 hour sleep and there's another problem, i couldn't fall back to sleep till it was 4am in the morning. States time is half a day behind Singapore. So your body clock get screwed up alittle.
Anyhow, i thot i could at least catch the sunrise part, but ended up i missed the sunrise as well. Damn... haha... 2 days in Frisco and my time is up, got to leave for Seoul already. Looks like i've just got to wait for another SEL-SFO or HKG-SFO.
Well at least on the bright side, i did managed to eat my favourite cheese cake together with Esther and Doreen at Cheesecake Factory located at top floor of Macy.
Oh... and they have this pager with a vibrating alert thingi that they give u while u wait for your seat. So u can walk around, once there is an available seat they will page for u! haha... A neat little invention.
Hur hur... Anyway u gals will love Macy! haha... located in Union Square, with 7 stories of bags, shoes, clothings and accessories. Fashion heaven for the gals.
Hee... i got a little something for Wendy at Abercrombie too.
Back at Seoul didn't do much either, was already evening by the time we touched down. Most of us went up to change after check in then we headed to the korean food joint opposite our hotel. Actually eating in Korea is not cheap either, it cost about 5000 won for a simple meal of tofu soup and rice.
10000 won is about SGD$16.20
As usual we went drinking after that.
Went shopping at Dong Dae Mon the next day. WAH LAO... shopping in Seoul is not cheap also lor, especially for fashion. 1 T shirt already cost me 17000 won. There was this shirt that i like a lot but it cost 42000 won. SIAO AH! haha...
Oh, and u should try this corn dog thingi with fries sticking onto it. Looks damn nice man! haha... eh... taste like eating fries and hotdog together at the same time. haha... Put more Ketchup!
Although i've been to Seoul station before i didn't know there was a food court. Well i did know there was a departmental store and the crew's favourite Lotte Mart- a hugh supermarket selling all things korean. Eh... It's korea anyway... Duh... haha...
Anyway the food court works slightly differently from Singapore's, U actually go to the cashier to order and pay for your food first before they hand u a receipt with a queue number to go to the respective store to wait and collect your food.
Haha... And u have to bring your tray and empty plates and bowl back to the store after u finish your food. WAH... If u do that here in Singapore everyone will curse and swear. We are so used to being wait upon.
3rd Day was spent at Itaewon picking up some Laneige products for my sister. It would have been another boring day before the evening flight back had it not for Esther who accompanied me. haha... Anyway since the start of the trip i have been psycho-ing her and Doreen to buy things with me. Haha... Started at San Francisco's H20+ and Abercrombie and then all the way back to Seoul. haha... They have been my shopping and Makan Kakiis.
Anyway turns out that Doreen is Aloysius's team gal. haha... Small world. Aloysius is my ex's brother. haha...
Auckland 281 coming up next and i'll be doing the flight with Doreen. haha... How coincidental can this world get. haha... But think i will hibernate this time. I've overspent my spending budget already. i've already spent more that $1000 on shopping this month. Haha... Think i need to tie up my hands already.
