Direction to Everysing

Everysing is an official shop of SM Ent that selling variety of stuff of their idols, such as Super Junior, SNSD, TVXQ, Shinee, etc. You also can take sticker photo with you bias... really, the choices are all cute! But the machine was broken by the time i came here T_T


The main branch is the one at Myeongdong and the other one is located along Rodeo Street (Apgujeong). Let me tell you how to get to Eversing at Myeongdong first. Just get off at Myeongdong station, exit 6 and walk up stairs...ops, stairs will divided to two, make sure you take to the right and you will reach Myeongdong shopping street! Focus on your left but careful from bumping others :p Turn left at Nature Republic and walk straight till you find 'SPAO'. wanna try idols collection in SPAO??? hehe.. there a many poster of SUJU and SNSD members inside...let go inside!!! Everysing is on 5th floor.


At Apgujeong, from exit 2 Apgujeong station, you have to cross 2 main intersection. Let me tell you from the beginning. If to Kona beans, you have to turn right after Shinhan Bank (to be here you just need to cross 1 main intersection). But to Rodeo street from here, you have to walk straight and you have to cross another one main intersection. Ok.. then you will get to small intersection. here, turn right. Everysing is in front of Adidas shop. You can buy SM idols official stuff on level 2, karaoke and have a break at their cafe at the top. Reservation need for cafe, seats are really limited.


I suggest you go to both everysing since we cant confirm the availability of stuffs..most of the time the items got sold out at Myeongdong branch but you will found that there are not so many choices at Apgujeong. But their staffs at Apgujeong are nice ^^ (at Myeongdong, i dont say anything..so i dont have any comment :p)


Have a great trip with kpop mind!!!

Direction to SM building

SM building is located at Apgujeong, Gangnam district. You can reach it either from Cheongdam or Apgujeong station. Someone in youtube uploads a video giving a direction from Cheongdam station (by wanderrgirl). But today i wanna talk about how to get here from Apgujeong station. you can walk from Apgujeong station, just about 20-30 minutes walk. You can take bus from here to Galleria...however, its not really a bad idea to have a walk... have some simple exercise while you enjoy the new environment. Who know, if you lucky enough suddenly meet kpop idols on your way to SM building??? hehehe Oh yeah, you also can walk from Apgujeong towards Kona Beans and the famous Rodeo street before you head to SM. Well, catch them all on a way!!!


Ok, from Apgujeong exit 2, make a U-turn (the same way to Kona Beans). You just need to walk straight along the main street...just walking until you find Galleria. Its really simple...i repeat, just go straight from Apgujeong and you just need to find the Galleria ^^. if you do not confirm where you are, just ask people where Galleria is located.


You can be HAPPY after see the big mall called Galleria (^^,)... as we knew that SM building just near to Galleria, the luxury heaven ^^ The most important point is, if you find this Galleria, you actually really close to the SM building! SM is located opposite side of Galleria. Just walk straight till you find a brown building with glasses on the middle. The building number is 423, confirm! Its SMEnt building! (I thought now they are a logo of smtown hangs on the glasses. Oh, pretty easy to identified the buildg anyway) Yeah.. you reach here...and how about waiting and stalking some idols for a moment??? kekeke



There are a new SM office, somewhere at Cheongdam??? but i dont know if anyone have reach it yet. Wish we can see the new building soon ^^

Directions to Kona Beans



Heard about Kona Beans??? Yes... the one that Kyuhyun twitted last 2-3months...hehe, its getting more famous after that huh ^^ its at Apgujeong! Lets go have a visit to Kona Beans!!!


How to get here, simple! Just 10-15 minutes walk from exit 2, Apgujeong Stn. depends how fast your speed hehehe... Make a U-turn from exit 2 and you have to pass small intersections. Peoples always said..you have to turn right after you found Shinhan Bank. Dont be confused... this really happened to me. You will find 2 Shinhan Bank indeed, or i read them wrong??? hahaha... Ok, just remember like this, turn right after Shinhan bank, after you cross the BIGGG intersection (the main road i guess).


OH, i will explain again. From exit 2, make a u-turn and walk straight. You will see S-oil on your right after the 1st intersection. If you find any other bank, just avoid them until you cross the main intersection, then walk straight till you will find the big Shinhan bank at the small intersection. Here, please turn right and go straight till you get to the intersection again, go straight! Till the end of the street... look on your left, Kona Beans just across the street. Its nice to get some hot coffee at a cold weather ^_^ as usual, i try some hot chocolate! Yummy!!!

Oh ya.. you can find some videos for ELF guide from youtube. Some of them will show you how to get here in video...

Direction to H&G cafe and Sukira




I know many of ELF out there already knew about H&G or Handel&Gretel, which that Yesung's parents cafe located near to KBS. If you are kpop fans, or specifically an ELF, H&G cafe should be a must place to visit in Seoul! Yeah!!!

To being here...its really easy, either you get off from Yeuido Stn (exit 3) or National Assembly (exit 4). But i wanna talk about how to get here from National Assembly, since i think its more easier. From exit 4, just walk straight and turn right at the 1st intersection towards KBS. Well, you can see the huge office space at the end of the street. But ops, wait! Dont go to KBS before you visit H&G, ok. Its on your left, and you have to cross the road... its just a small and cozy cafe!



Yesung was not around the time i visit H&G, well he's not in Korea after all, for Super Show in China. I dont know if the one who greet us was Jong Jin, i dont know... i guess he is not hehe sorry Jong Jin, i dont remember your face ;p By the way, the hot chocolate taste GOOD! yummy... i want some more!!! will come again on next trip yaaa ^^



Ok... from H&G, how about proceed to Cool FM? Of course! Just cross the road towards KBS office.. hey but dont go inside to KBS where there are a guard stand at the main gate. For Sukira, you should go to the in front, opposite to Yeouido Park. But, the guard will lovely to help you if you got lost ^^ You will see stairs and a cute sloping stair (i dont know what its called) with cute drawing on the floor. Please step upstairs and you will see Cool FM on the end left hahaha... Cool!!! Have a good wait for Sukira at 10pm!!! and yeah... i found so much wishes on the wall outside Cool FM. Really cool! hehe... you are most welcome to KBS, since there are also a signboard 'Welcome to KBS' kekeke

Trips-Singapore (Part 2)


Yeah, today i like to share about my experience looking for foods in Singapore! Since Spore well known as food paradise, you can get any kind of food you like here. What taste are you looking for? Western? Fast-food? emm... you can get them almost anywhere here. Japanese, Korean, Italian or Middle-East??? Emm... they a bit difficult to get one. If there is, maybe you will start counting your money hahaha but some peoples dont mind about that as long as they get what they want. Right..right..right? Hehe



If you looking for Chinese foods.. that also not sooo difficult to get. Just head to Chinatown and you will see a Chinese food heaven there. Or... you could step to Geylang or any small chinese restaurant.. anyway. Wherever it is, you still can get chinese style food hehe but i more sugget Chinatown. More choices! Ok, for Indian foods, i just know about Little India. I have been there once, and i got problem to find malay restaurant! hahaha or even kedai mamak, i dont really mind. Ok.. talking about kedai mamak, hey you can find sooooo many mamak restaurant that serves roti canai, murtabak and nasi beriyani in arab street area. i have been enjoyed my lunch with friends once at New Victory Restaurant Muslim Food. In Arab street area la. Their roti canai is different... bigger than i usually bought here! The prices is about SGD1.50, if im not mistaken... it passed years ago la. cant remember so well haha Hey, Jalan-jalan Cari Makan team also have been here. See their plague gift on the wall?




The problem among muslim when travelling to other country, of course in finding halal food. And you absolutely looking for muslim restaurant as well as possible. Beside kedai mamak, you also can get nasi padang restaurant... i found many nasi padang restaurant in outram and clarke quay area. Oh ya... also got one in Chinatown, called Muslim Nasi Padang, near to Chinatown MRT station. Yanti Nasi Padang also near to Outram Park station but you have to cross the road or exit to New Bridge Road from MRT station and head to hotel area. If you found The Keong Saik Hotel, then you are at the right place. Just keep moving forward till you find the only restaurant serves nasi padang there. i think the owner is chinese muslim.




Ok... i also was having a dinner at Hajah Maimunah restaurant. They served malay foods! hehe.. there are 2 branchs, either at Joo Chiat or at Jalan Pisang. I went to the Jalan Pisang branch. Only 15-20 minutes walk from Bugis MRT. Just walk along Victoria Road. Their price? Reasonable! Taste? Good!

Trips- Singapore (Part 1)

If you go to other country, whether you are on business trip or on vacation, for sure you also plan to have a walk to see their culture and visit their interest, especially if its the first time you step your foot on that city. Before that, usually peoples will plan their trip very carefully. I'm so sure you wont try to find your own way without know anything unless you like to ask people everytime you lost. Emm but it wasting time, especially when people you asked cant understand your language. Plus, you have keep in mind that not everyone know english.




In Singapore, i dont think english could be a problem. Most of Singaporean can understand and speak english. But sometime you dont even know if you are asking to wrong people, foreign worker for example. I have the experience when a chinese lady i asked dont understand what i'm talking about hahaha did my english that bad till peoples cant understand? i dont know if she a foreign worker or a tourist like me.. haha Ok... first of all, you have to know what public transport they had offer. Of course! You won't rent a car to travel over the country, will you? No! I dont suggest that since we dont know how their traffic would be. You will definitely regret after you got trapped in traffic jam. But in Singapore, dont worry. Dont think too much. You could take MRT, LRT or bus to go any of interest places in your list. I dont suggest you take a cab unless you bring a huge luggage with you. Of course peoples will not travelling with luggage, right. So, just take MRT la. More cheaper and faster! And believe me, MRT take you almost everywhere in Singapore. I attached their MRT route map for your convenience.








Just only dollars, you can buy a single ticket. Oh ya, you need to pay 1dollar for the deposit. Dont miss your card and dont throw it into a dustbin, ok. You will get your 1 dollar back when you return your card at your last station. Most of peoples in Singapore buy or reload their ticket through ticket machine (i dont know what we call that machine lol). Dont worry, its simple! Even at Changi Airport MRT station, there are some staffs would help you for your first time and of course they will tell you how to use the machine. Emm... remember, you only have to buy ticket everytime you take MRT if you bought a single card ticket. If you are using Ezlink, just go through and scan your card towards entry. If you have to take bus, make sure you take at the right spot. You can visit their website to identified the buses on your route.







One more thing, make sure you know how to read map. Haha... my friends and I got lost sooo many times because we dont know how to read map at the first time lol Now i think i became much better than before haha but dont waste your money by buying a map or print a bunch of maps from google map. Although u dont have GPS or google map on your mobile phone, dont worry. You still can find maps at aiport, for free! Ok... finish my intro. Next time, i will share my other experience =D
