#776 - Taobao Earrings Haul

Hahaha lousy side flatlay by the floor but here are my purchases. Recently v into earrings, especially the minimalist-styled ones.

5 of the pairs are from the same store. V happy w my purchases, plus they do not cost a bomb too!

Crescent Dangling Earrings (lol I am v bad w naming items): Expectations.

The dangling bit is detachable.

Reality. One of the side is slightly crooked but other than that no issues. It's so cheap I shouldn't hiam right. I quite like it!

So simple and easy to match!

Rose Petals Earrings w Pearl: Expectations.

Reality. Can be worn 3 ways! The pearls are actually the pushbacks (earrings backing).

So you can insert the earring from either side of your earlobes depending on where you want your pearls/petals to be.. if you get what I mean. You can have the pearls and rose petals hanging half on each side of the earlobe or wear it long w the pearls as studs. The rose petals come in many colours but I think this is one of the nicest.

💵: SGD2.64 before shipping

Pearl at the back side of the earlobe.

Pearl as stud look. Might be a bit too overboard tho! Look like those earrings 古装 people wear.

Marble Dangling Earrings: Expectations.

Reality. One of my first few earrings in gold!

Is chio de w the marble prints and I love the clinking of the different dangling bits hahaha. I think this is my favourite out of all.

💵: SGD3.76 before shipping

Zoomed really in because breakout and scars (I might have overexfoliate my skin so I needa stop) but here's how it looks on an earlobe lolol.

Long Minimalist Earrings: Expectations.

Reality. This was from another Taobao shop. The rest above are all from Taimi Style 太美饰品. First saw it on blogger LMT. I knew I had to get it. She wore it in one of her instagram posts and I tried to do an image search on Taobao but failed to find it. Then she shared her recent earrings haul image on Dayre and I used that to search instead.

Got it!! So happy okay. Is so chio. 😍

#742 - Dongdaemun / Andong Jjimdak (安東찜닭)

Some pictures of food I had in Dongdaemun!

It was along the street where all the eateries were and most of them range from 2500 - 3500 won. Pretty affordable.

Meet the girls for dinner before shopping at Dongdaemun, from 8pm to 4am in the morning. So shiok!!

Jajangmyun, which was not very nice.
Always see those artistes on variety shows slurping it so shiokly lehhh. D:

Naengmyun.

Some chicken chop/fish fillet w rice.

Stir fry chicken? Like 宫保鸡丁 kind.

Cannot remember but I think it's some kimchi stew!

Soybean stew?

Not bad la, the food, quite affordable also!

And yes, Dongdaemun wee hours shopping is so shiok. The streets are still buzzling w activities one. A lot of wholesale malls and the sellers there all like so busy packing their goods and all.

An example of the buzzling activity w all the bags containing those wholesale item. Imagine the whole row of pavement filled w these. :o

Have always heard about how Dongdaemun has a lot of things to shop and to be honest, I went there like 2 or 3 times and I was disappointed. Because I didn't see the rows and rows of stalls or whatsoever even at 10pm. So I was super sian. Turned out we were at the wrong area.

The buzzling place is actually behind the building (opposite front of Doota). A lot of wholesale malls there and we didn't even comb finish them all even though we spent like 8 hours there.

It was really crazy. I got quite a number of stuff there as well. Even the skirt I have been looking for damn long. 

Here comes my skirt story again... (koped from Dayre)

So I saw this skirt at Dongdaemun and it was love at first sight. Price: 32k. *sings Anna's okay bye*

Subsequently, I saw 28k, 25k, 24k at various places. The latest one was 25k at the underground shopping centre at Express Bus Terminal station. Was contemplating to buy or not because I probably won't go back Ewha again to get the 24k one but 25k is like SGD$30++. No way am I gonna spend so much on this skirt (although I love it alot lolol). After which, I closed one eye and bought a 10k dress HAHA. Okay then last night, I went to the wholesale market then.... you guess it! I saw the skirt. Asked for the price, 14k!!!!

So happy lahh! Hahahaha.

Another random day, we had this yummy Andong Jjimdak (安東찜닭) at Myeongdong!

Apparently there are two restaurants in Myeongdong selling these and from the reviews I saw online, both are equally good.

The one we went was called 安東찜닭 while the other was Bongchu Jjimdak (凰雛찜닭).

 We ordered two big plates for sharing, one chicken and one seafood!

Preferred the chicken one though.

But actually I like the cellophane noodles the most, kept eating that. It's like tanghoon and kwayteow's hybrid, both of which are my favourites. So it's like best of both worlds luh! :D

Can't stop eating, even though it was mad mad spicy. Like I kept gulping down water after mouthfuls. Definitely worth a visit. I wish Singapore brings it in!!

Update more soon when I am back from my holidays!

#740 - Gangnam Underground Shopping Arcade / Haneul Park

Went to Gangnam Underground Shopping Arcade for shopping alone the other day. Walked past there once when heading to Banpo Bridge and I was like meh, so small only nothing much.

Decided to give it another chance and spent 1 hour rummaging through clothes and looking at the same place. Went to venture further in and went down (like basement) and I was shocked.

Because there were so many shops there?! Like you cannot see the end one. Got different sections somemore. Cannot shop finish in one day one lah, and I also bought quite a few stuff there. Prices are quite comparable to Edae's, but there are many shops selling similar items so it's good to compare lahh, provided you take note of the shop's unit number hahaha.

I was very overwhelmed there and went like ahhh if only I got all the time in the world.

Nearest Station: Express Bus Terminal Station, Line 3 or 7

Met the guys at Haneul Park after that! Chill and relax hahaha. Cool breeze that day when we climbed up flights of stairs so I am not complaining. :)

The view on the way up the stairs. It was quite misty actually.

 Han River I think.

 Translated to Sky Park (Haneul Park).

 Just another one of those views.

 Doesn't this fruit/gourd reminds you of an antibiotic?

Walked to the end and were welcomed by the cool breeze.

 And I present to you.. Teletubbies. Hahahah.

 Climbed up this bowl-like thing and had Junye take photos for us.

Good day...
