My Life

Carpet bought from Taobao which cost me around SGD100. I am a satisfied buyer.

Upon reaching Incheon, we went straight to the bus terminal to purchase the bus ticket, which should take us to Jonggak Station. Our accommodation was at Jonggak Station, a walk able distance from Myeongdong and to Insadong. We waited at the bus top of number 1602. Airbnb owner is a Korean who does speak English and he told us the direction to his apartment. Oh ya, and if you were wondering why we did not bought any SIM card or Data card, Here's why: We felt that their SIM card was really expensive and uncalled for since you an easily tap Wifi at almost any start bucks or restaurant. They do have good wifi connection. Moreover, the owner at Airbnb does provide portable wifi, therefore, all the more we felt that there isn't any need to have one. So you see why I chose Airbnb instead of hotel.

The bus ride was about 1 hr 30 minutes. As we had communication barrier, love and I alighted the wrong stop and the bus driver couldn't care less if we have alighted the correct stop despite me asking. He was showing his: Damned, please stop asking me questions and move off! expression and I knew that he was not helping at all. In the end, we had to drag our luggage 1 bus stop away before we reached our apartment. 

Amazingly, Seoul doesn't have lots of escalator or lifts around and you have to walk everywhere by stairs. Even the elderly are not spared from taking the flight of stairs. They do have lifts but it was way too far and inconvenient. With the luggage, Love and I walked up and down the stairs with 10kg on hand and sweating internally even though the weather was a cooling temperature at about 11~15 degree. Now you see why the Koreans are so healthy.

Finally, we had reached our apartment.

The apartment is clean and cosy which could house 2-3 people. It comes with the basic necessity such as toilet rolls, washing machines, utilentils, fridge, iron etc. We rested for about 30 minutes before leaving the apartment to N. Seoul Tower. 

We walked past the bustling eateries and made our way to the Metro.

The Metro was never crowded like what we experience in Singapore.

We had our dinner at Two Two Chicken. To go there, go to Myeongdong Station, Exit 3. Once you exit, you can see the restaurant.

We ordered the chicken, french fries and a pint beer. The potion was big and expensive.
If we  had ordered one plate less, it would be enough for us.

Dinner was good, gulping down the beer with fried chicken, keeping my body warm was the best thing after landed in Korea. The weather was still freaking cold in March which it shouldn't have. With a heavy stomach, we carried our legs up to the N. Seoul Tower to purchase the cable car tickets. 

Bought the tickets to take the cable car up to N. Seoul Tower.

It was indeed a bird eye view of Seoul. You can see traffic congestion at some lanes and some of the lights in the office buildings are still on. 

At N. Seoul Tower, you can buy the locks and pledge your love before leaving the keys in the letterbox nearby.

He must be thinking what to write 

You can buy the locks from the nearby convenient store  which sell foods.

Shag face.

After exploring N. Seoul Tower, we went indoor to get some warmth as the weather was seriously freezing cold. 

We grabbed a cup of coffee and head home after that. 

And  upload a photo of both of us before signing off

Stop by some place to have our breakfast

Going to Seremban for lunch

Couldn't take more photos as I was trying to nap throughout the journey. The after effect from going home late night on TGIF. We roamed the shopping mall for about an hour, got our stuffs from supermarket and head to the coach again.

The resort is about 1.5 hours from the shopping mall...

In case you are wondering where we stayed... we had our 3 days 2 nights at

Lexis Hibiscus Port Dickson  

Can you see that the cabins were the outline of a hibiscus? For your info, hibiscus is the national flower of Malaysia.

There are more than 400 cabins in the resort. And near the cabins, a hotel is built nearby which allow us to take the lift up to level 7 to take the scenic view.  But, part of the hotel is still under construction.

The lobby is spacious. From time to time, there will be some performance there.

The hotel reception is far from all the cabins. One will have to call for a buggy to fetch hotel guests to and fro from your accommodation. However, their service is superb as the waiting time for the buggy is only 10-15 minutes. When it rains, it was a hassle as they did not have a lot of buggy or manpower to fetch all hotel guests back,. But all these doesn't matter as you are supposed to take your time slow in a resort.

The 8 of us can sit on a buggy comfortably. With this, they can easily fetch 2-3 room guests to their room.

I was so excited about their room, as I heard that they had a indoor jacuzzi. How often do you see an indoor jacuzzi in Singapore? You will only get them if you are willing to pay $1,000+ and above.

Entering the room... I was shocked.

2 large beds which can be shared by 6 people easily. I have so much space to open my luggage and putting other barang barang. We were given 4 complimentary soft drinks as welcome drink. If you are intending to go there, please note that you can have them for free. But of course, the soft drinks are not refillable haha.

Taken from another angle

The transparent glass which most adults were afraid  to walk over. But it is definitely safe to walk and lie on haha. The seawater is somehow green. Imagine it is in blue, I could stay there a little longer.

1 cubicle and 1 showering area. There were no locks, so .. no peeping please.

And moving on further outdoor..

Ta-da, your very own jacuzzi! The clear water which makes you very much wanted to jump up in it.

Can you resist?

Another view of it!

While looking at the pool, you can see your neighbors as well.

Say hi to them!

While facing in front, you can see the rest of the cabins.

If you are staying the right location, you may even get to see sunrise in the morning!

Can you see how pretty it is?

Dinner came too soon and we went out for dinner.

The Thai food was so delicious! It is about 30 minutes from the resort.

The next day, we didn't have much activities going on, ended up soaking ourselves in the pool.

The 2 aunties resting and chatting, listening to hokkien songs and shaking legs.

The group of us who went together to the resort.

Last but not least.. the sunset view..

Lexis Hibiscus is a place worth going if you love the sea and nature or when you would like to avoid crowded area. There's nothing much to do there except relaxing yourself in the room or cycling around the resort. They do rent bicycle to guests at a cost of RM10 for half an hour.  

Of course, such luxury stay-cation doesn't come cheap though they are slightly cheaper than hotel rates in Singapore. One night in the cabin cost about SGD 500 and above. They are a new resort and accordingly to the tour guide, they started operation only in April 2015.
