ISTIULOUS 17

I cannot believe this is from almost a year ago! How time flies and how we spend most of those times by staying at home lately because it's the best for everyone now.
I found out about this cafe from a YouTuber called Cari Cakes and I went there with my 이쁜 언니. The cafe is so interesting! You can paint for free! And they put the watercolor paint on the tray and they lend you water brush, small wet towel to wipe, and a piece of paper for each person. I'm pretty sure now in Seoul--or maybe not only in Seoul--cafes like this are not hard to find but this cafe is the first one I knew of this kind.
Not only that, but the pancakes they served are the most delicious pancakes I've ever tried in my life! We spent so many hours in there and focused on our paintings. It was my first time painting with watercolor paint and got addicted since then.
They provided some books as guide and I decided to paint a poppy flower. They also displayed many paintings that people didn't bring home. So you can either take your painting home or display it there. I brought mine home of course as memory from Korea.
My outfit makes me really look like some French painter, right?
Would really love to go back there and hang out with my 언니 again!
Wherever you are, please stay safe and hygiene!

These pictures were taken fro my 2 stays at Pullman Jakarta Indonesia. It was on June 2019 and January 2020 before pandemic started.
I just want to look back and enjoy the good memory before it all started. Looking back at the memories makes me feel good and sad at the same time. It's good that I felt all that happiness at that time but not anymore at the same time.
I stayed with my best friends. First, with my best friend Nadia only and second also with Kania, full team! Doing staycation with your best friends is really nice. You can just stay in and enjoy all the facilities--even tough many of facilities are closed due to the virus now.
We just stayed in and enjoyed the swimming pool, sauna, steam room, gym, and jacuzzi. The thing I like about this hotel, they have bathtub for all type of rooms which is not really common in Indonesian hotels and I am a big fan of bath. They also provide bathrobe and yukata so we could dress up in them and pretend to be fancy.
The location of this hotel is also really strategic. It's located in the exact center of Jakarta. Across 2 of the biggest mall in Jakarta, Grand Indonesia and Plaza Indonesia. Literally just across the street.
Hopefully the pandemic will be over soon so I can enjoy this with my best friends again.
Stay safe, people <3

Last year on October, I traveled to Korea all by myself. It was my first time ever of traveling abroad alone and it was my first time being out of Southeast Asia. It was so overwhelming in good and bad ways. I was so nervous and excited.
Even though I went there alone, I have some friends there and they helped me out a lot.
Nami Island is a famous touristic place in Korea and I planned to go there. While I was doing some research about it, on suggestion list there was this place called "Alpaca World" and it's located in the same province as Nami Island--even though in the end I didn't go to Nami Island. It really got my heart. I didn't even know about alpacas before but one thing I knew for sure, when I should totally go there. It was must. It became one of my main reasons.
Then I asked my friends about Alpaca World and they had no idea so we thought we could go together. It was so great to finally meet them again after around 6 years. We met when I was in senior year of high school and they were volunteering from Korea to teach the culture and language.
We had so much fun and the alpacas were SO cute and fascinating. Like... were they even real? We got to feed them, walk them, and see them around by train. There were additional charges for those, though but I just wanted to try them all and they were all worth it. You just couldn't resist if it's for the alpacas.
They have hiking route around the place. The route was pretty long but not steep. The view along the way was just so pretty and made you feel grateful.
There was also small food store in the middle where you can rest and enjoy some ramyeon, ice cream, and beverages. There is also cafe with good interior and view next to the ticket booth. It also has a gift shop with cute postcards, magnets, and plushies!
One of the best experience and happiest moments in my life! And special biggest thanks to my Oppa's for taking me there and taking your leaves for that.
너무 고마워요 <3

 How's your quarantine days, guys? To be honest, I pretty much enjoy it. I love staying in sooooo much! I just really like being alone and doing things what I want to without worrying about anybody else. Even before this quarantine, most of my days off were spent alone at home. 
Sometimes my friends and I planned to go out and I just feel relieved when it's cancelled. I never consider myself as an introverted person.I get along with people soooo easily. I can be friends with strangers within minutes. But I just enjoy my time alone so much.
Maybe because people are just disappointing and I'm just too tired of it. lol
Actually, I graduated from university on 2018 in Bandung. Last year on 2019, my friend and I took some gradation photos cuz we didn't get nice pictures during graduation day. We took this picture at a park in Jakarta.
I wanted to post these photos on the exact date of my graduation that I thought was March 27th. But it turns out it was March 24th! I missed it! I was thinking 'What's with the 27th, then?' Then, I just realized... it's payday hahaha
Stay safe, everyone!

Hello! So, I posted my photos in Singapore with backwards timing. Started out with day 3, USS, then this is the first day of my trip there. We had morning flight and we got picked up at the airport by my Singaporean friends that I've known since middle school and that was out first meet! It felt so overwhelming and exciting! We've known each other for more than 9 years through Twitter and it felt like a dream to finally met in person. Plus, they showed us around and gave us guide how to get to places in Singapore. They were being our guide for the whole day.
We went to Garden by the Bay, Marina Barrage, played arcade games at Level Up and ate Tsui Wah in Clarke Quay! It wassss really fun! We got to visit many places on our first day because of them and they helped us taking pictures a lot <3 p="">
Singapore is so lovely and organized! Definitely will come back to Singapore!
