70th Liberation Day of South Korea

Today marks the 70th Liberation Day of South Korea where we are free from Japanese colonization. There were a lot of events going on today and one of them is at the Sejong Art Centre. Wanted to attend the event as well but when I reached there, it was all over.

But well, at least I managed to capture some pictures. I also read from the news that South Korean protesters tore Japanese military flags and anti-Japan placards near the Japanese embassy today. Wow, Koreans really got guts man *clap clap*

Gyeongbokgung Palace

Gyeongbokgung Palace(경복궁) is the largest palace among the Five Grand Palaces. This place is so huge that I didn't manage to tour the whole place (actually I was just too tired & lazy). If you are visiting this place, you have to see the royal guard changing ceremonies. The ceremonies only happen 3 times a day so make sure you don't miss it! There are also free tour in foreign languages, do check out the website for all these timings.

Un-fuck-ing Real

It had been almost a month since I am back in Korea. Well...like the title of this book, it still kinda feel un-fuck-ing real that I am living in Korea. Had yet to fully explore Korea as studies takes up most of my time since my classes start in the afternoon so basically there is no time to play during the weekdays. Can't wait for the weekend to come man.

Goodbye but not Farewell

Goodbye Singapore and my dear friends. This is definitely not a farewell but just a short goodbye. Will be back really soon. Probably less than a year time (hopefully?). Thank you guys for sending me off today. Thank you guys for everything, every one of you in this picture means a lot to me, you guys know it right? Love you all xoxo

Graduation

Today, I have officially graduated from TP (IMI). Throughout these 3 years, there were a lot of ups and downs, good and bad memories, people come and go but well.. just wanna say let bygones be bygones. I will just remember the good memories that I had and forget the bad ones. To those who was once part of my polytechnic life, thank you for those times.
