今日も鈍い頭痛のように響く

When this fog clears…

変わる何かに胸を躍らせていたい

Today is the first day of 2010, wishing you all a happy new year~! 🙂

It’s this time again, and we would like to wish you all Merry Christmas!! And a happy new year~! 😉

I wish I could give you a white Christmas, but apparently not, even I my self is now living in a place that will never snow! 😀

But miracle do happen here in hwa2u.com, again this year in hwa2u.com, it’s falling snow.

It’s a WordPress plugin by Aen Tan called Let It Snow! So please enjoy the view while you can, otherwise you have to wait until next year! 🙂

Oh and not to forget, Merry Christmas 2009! 😉

For the pass 3 days I was staying in house due to I fallen sick and also resting at home.

But today is my last day in Seoul and I’m going to visit the Nami Island, or better known as the Winter Sonata place, because it’s the place where the famous Korean drama, Winter Sonata was filmed.

The journey to Nami Seom consist of taking the railway, ferry and also taxi, the journey took around 3 hours.

Nami Seom is an imaginary country, and to enter Nami Seom, you need to buy the passport issues from the Naminara, it cost around 5k won, around RM14.

The temperature in Nami Seom is more cooling than in Seoul, probably because here got more trees compare to Seoul.

Nami Seom is a very beautiful island, it’s full of natural habitat and also for it’s famous pine tree lined roads.

Other than that, animals here are running freely across the island, such as ostriches.

Yes! There are ostrich in this island, but of course it’s not native to here.

Other than ostrich there are squirrels which available all over the island!

The main attraction to this island is actually the environment and it’s beautiful scenery, for those who is a natural lover then this is the place that you definitely want to visit.

Today is Hari Raya, the main festival for the our Muslim counterpart in Malaysia, but I’m now in Korea so I went to the Malaysia Embassy to celebrate the even.

Every year there is an open house here, Malaysian from all over Korea will come and meet each other and enjoy local food here.

After visiting the Malaysia Embassy, I went to Cheong Gye Cheon. It was Sunday when I visited Cheong Gye Cheon, so there are quite a lot of people there, the river water is very clear, you can even see fishes swimming inside it, the river is very well kept and it’s very clean.

The Cheong Gye Cheon is located somewhere in the downtown of Seoul, it’s the result of urban renewal project of transforming a stream that was mainly for drainage system into one of the famous public recreation place in Seoul.

I believe before the restoration, Cheong Gye Cheon is more or less like Klang River in Malaysia, where the water is brown in color and rubbish everywhere. In fact, part of the Cheong Gye Cheon was covered with concretes and roads are build on top of it. But today, Cheong Gye Cheon has become one of the most successful urban renewal program in the world.

It’s The 6th Asia Song Festival 2009!! An annual event where singers around the Asia continent are invited to perform on stage. This year the Asia Song Festival took place at World Cup Stadium in Seoul.

There are singers from Korea, Japan, China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and even Thailand are invited, popular groups like Big Bang, 2NE1 from Korea, Gackt from Japan and Ekin Cheng from Hong Kong.

We went there around 5pm to collect our ticket from the ticketing booth.

Lot’s of people there including foreigners are lining up to get their ticket.

I got my ticket free by registering my self at the official website.

Around 6pm we start walking into the stadium, because of the H1N1 influenza, there are sanitizer everywhere, even the one spray right to your whole body.

My sit was quite far away from the stage, it wasn’t a good view but the good thing is that there are at least 3 big screen showing the artist performing on stage.

The whole festival was actually very up beat, since the artists are from different country, we can see a lot of fans for different group shows their support.

But nothing beats the local fans here, especially the famous Korean group Big Bang and Girl’s Generation, people gone mad when the host announced their name. These 2 groups are among the last group to come out perform, after this there is an encore but it was Super Junior, I was hoping the Girl’s Generation or 2NE1 for encore though.

Today I went to Jongmyo, it’s a royal shrine for placing the tablets of deceased kings and queens of the Korean Joseon Dynasty.

The shrine is a very nice place with beautiful scenery, a lot of senior members will go there and have a good walk while breathing in fresh air.

The Jongmyo is not as big as the other palace. There are 2 main hall here, the Jeongjeon and the Yeongnyeongjeon.

Jeongjeon is the first and main hall while Yeongnyeongjeon was build when Jeongjeon could no longer accommodate any more tablets.

At the northern part of Jongmyo there’s a overpass link to Chang Gyeong Gung, it’s a palace right next to Jongmyo, so we can go to Chang Gyeong Gung directly from Jongmyo.

The Chang Gyeong Gung is again another palace in Seoul, the Jongmyo was actually a part of the Chang Gyeong Gung, it was when the Japanese invaded and they build a road in between to separate both Chang Gyeong Gung and Jongmyo.

The main entrance of Chang Gyeong Gung is not as nice as the other palaces I visited before, mostly because there are renovation here, and there are no ceremony held in here also.

But there’s a very nice lake in this palace, there are ducks and Koi fish inside the lake also.

Some where at the palace there’s a very beautiful white greenhouse here.

At night me and my brother went to Gwang Hwa Mun for the Soul City Tour.

The Soul City Tour is a bus ride to bring us around the Seoul, drop us at the Seoul Tower for like 15 minutes, then start going back.

The tour is actually not very bad, you get to see Hangan and it beautiful bridge throughout the tour.

I had been busy going out for the pass few days, today I’m staying at home, resting and regaining my energy back. Actually I’m just being lazy. 😛

Nothing much happen today as I’m staying at home, but at night something funny happened, some drunk old man came and collapse at stair case outside my house, so we took a picture of him, together!! 😀

It was fun!! 😀
