DAY 6 (24/10/2013)

Pagi nie kami ke Myeongdong untuk pakai Hanbok iaitu pakaian tradisional Korea. Kami sampai di Myeongdong dalam jam 11 pagi. Di sini perlu buat temujanji terlebih dahulu kerana kena ikut turn.
Giliran kami jam 4.30 petang.Untuk ke sini, tempat nie bersebelahan dengan butik Forever 21.Korang kena tengok ada butik besar Forever 21.

Today we are going to Myengdong for wearing Hanbok. Hanbok is Korean tradional dress. We arrived at Myeongdong around 11am. At here, need appointment first because we need to follow thought turn.

So, kami bercadang untuk mencari opis Kim Jong Kook dan kembali semula ke Myeongdong. Sebelum tu, sempat kami beli album lagi di Myeongdong. Lepas tu kami sempat bergambar dengan orang i..
Mereka nie ditugaskan untuk membantu pelancong. Pada nametag mereka akan tertera English, Chinese, Japanese iaitu kebolehan bahasa mereka. Jadi ia lebih memudahkan para pelancong jika sesat atau ingin tahu sesuatu tempat. Bagus kan?..So, tak perlu takut sesat bila datang ke Korea.

( So, we were planning to go and find out where is Kim Jong Kook’s office and we will going back to Myeongdong. Before that, we took a chance to bought new album right there and we took a picture with Korean Tourism staffs.. i 

They job is to helped tourists. You may see at their jacket written English, Japanese, Chinese and of course their mother tongue, Hangul. So, it will make easier to tourists especially backpackers if their lost or if they want to know where is the interesting places to visit. Very good,right? So, to those tourists, you don’t need to be scare if you lost because they are everywhere to serve you..)

Opss...Terlebey sudah ^__^

Oppsss… Am I a bit over? ^__^

Meneruskan perjalanan mencari pejabat Kim Jong Kook ^__^

Continued our journey to find Kim Jong Kook’s office ^__^

 

Kami sampai di Sinsa Station, terus dapatkan teksi. Dengan bantuan Terry, aku hanya tunjuk alamat dalam hangul kepada pemandu teksi tu.Perjalanan tak sampai 10 minit pun, cuma jika berjalan, ia agak mengelirukan.
Sampai sahaja kawasan tu, pemandu teksi tu beritahu, ia ada di kawasan nie. Aku nampak ada Pusat Fitness, terus aku masuk bertanyakan tentang Kim Jong Kook. Salah seorang ahli dalam pusat tu yang berbadan sasa seperti Kim Jong Kook membawa aku keluar dari pusat tu dan tunjuk di mana pejabat Kim Jong Kook. Rupanya bersebelahan.Sangat berterima kasih kepada beliau.
Kami naik ke atas pejabat Kim Jong Kook. Tempat pertama aku tanya, bila sebut Kim Jong Kook, terus tak nak layan. Kali kedua kami bertanya di bilik lagi satu, salah juga, aku buat keputusan untuk bertanya bilik bersebelahan untuk kali terakhir.Jika salah juga, aku putus asa.Alhamdulillah...bila aku bunyikan loceng, ada perempuan buka, bila aku katakan JK Entertainment. Dia angguk! Gembira hanya Allah swt yang tahu..
Tapi perempuan tu tak faham apa yang aku cakap, mujur dia call seseorang iaitu adiknya. Aku bercakap dengan adiknya hampir sejam ! Setelah berbual, untuk bertemu Kim Jong Kook adalah tipis, dia minta aku tinggalkan album, dan dia telah memberitahu bahawa Kim Jong Kook berbesar hati memberi aku 3 poster Kim Jong Kook dan calendar! Dia kata aku adalah peminatnya yang pertama yang dia beri poster & calendar secara percuma! Aku terus menangis..Terharu sangat..
Sebelum berpisah, aku sempat peluk perempuan tu..Dia macam terkejut. Tapi dia sambut pelukan aku tu ^^

Kami terus bergegas ke Myeongdong untuk pakai Hanbok, walaupun waktu tu jam 4.00 petang, temujanji kami 4.30 petang, tapi kami terus dibenarkan pakai Hanbok.
Aku memilih untuk memakai pakaian Hanbok yang dipakai harian oleh wanita Korea, manakala kawan-kawan aku memakai pakaian Diraja & Geisha.Kami bebas bergambar.

( We arrived at Sinsa Station to get a taxi. With Terry’s helped, I just only to shown the address in written in Hangul to the taxi driver. The journey only took us 10 minutes to be there but the road to walk is a bit confusing.

After we arrived there, the taxi driver told us that his office is around the area. So, I saw a fitness centre and straight away asked about Kim Jong Kook. One of the fitness centre member with a big muscle like Kim Jong Kook brought me out from the fitness and shown me the right Kim Jong Kook’s office. It is just beside the fitness centre only. I am very thankful to him.

We straight away go up to Kim Jong Kook’office.  First place when I asked about Kim Jong Kook, they did not even say anything to us. Second place is also wrong and I made a decision to asked the third room. If it is still wrong, then I will give up and just gone home. Thank God… when I picked a ring bell, there is a woman opened the door. When I said JK Entertainment, she said yes. Only Allah S.W.T knows how happy I am.

But the problem now is the woman did not understand what I am talking about. Fortunately, she called someone else who is her sister. I talked to her sister for almost one hour! After some times, I’ve been told that to meet with Kim Jong Kook, the percentage is very low. She asked me to leave the album and she said Kim Jong Kook is very happy to gave me 3 posters of him and a calendar. She said that I am his first fans to received a poster and a calendar for free from him. I straight away cried because I am so touched.

Before we leave the place, I took a chance to hugged her. She’s quite surprised but she hugged me back. ^^

We rushed back to Myeongdong to wore a hanbok, eventhough we arrived 30 minutes early, but they had gave us permission to took wore a hanbok early. I picked a daily hanbok that always be wear by Korean women while my friends had choose to wear Royal Hanbok and Geisha hanbok. We are free to captured pictures )

 
 

 Saja nak tunjuk kasut baru..Made in Korea ^__^

Just wanna show a new shoes. Made in Korea ^__^

 

Kami singgah beli udang celup tepung. Bagi aku..sedap..

Drop by to bought a tempura prawn. For me it’s delicious..

 

Untuk menghilangkan rasa rindu pada kucing-kucing aku di rumah, kami ke Cat Cafe, di sini boleh melihat pelbagai jenis kucing. Cat Cafe yang kami pegi nie area Myeongdong, untuk ke sini korang akan jumpa petugas yang memakai kostum kucing sambil menari ataupun buat aksi comel.

( To relived my feeling about how I miss my cats at home so much, we go to Cat Café.  Right here, we met various kind of cats. You may find Cat Café at Myeongdong area. You may see Cat Café staff wears a cat costumes while dancing or make a cute action to attract tourist )

 

Sebelum tu, anda dikenakan 8000 won. Jika anda kasihkan kucing, pasti anda tidak rasa berkira-kira untuk membayarnya. Anggaplah ia untuk membeli makanan kucing-kucing itu nanti.
Sebelum pegang kucing-kucing tersebut, mereka akan meminta anda membasuh tangan terlebih dahulu, dan meminta anda membuat pesanan minuman.
Agak lama kami di situ sebab kucing-kucing di situ comel.Kucing-kucing kat sini pandai posing okay...Sebenarnya banyak Cat Cafe di Korea. Di Hondae juga ada Cat Cafe.

( Before that, we have to be charge for 8000 won. If you loves those cats you will now feels expensive on that. Just think that you pay the fees for the staffs to buy cat’s food later.

Before you touch those cats, the staffs will ask you to wash your hands and make an order for you to drink.

We staying there for a bit longer because those cat were so cute. They know how to posed so well,ok? Actually there are lots of Cat Café around Korea. There is one in Hondae too )

 

Kucing nie dok hidu beg aku...maybe bau kucing-kucing di rumah aku tu masih ada di beg tu..^^

This cat is smell my bag. Maybe they smell my cats fragranced at my bag. ^^

 

 Setiap kucing kat sini ada nama & siap ada penerangan kat sini..

Each cats have their own name with their explanations on it..

Selepas itu kami pergi ke Konkuk University untuk misi mencari Restoren Gary. Alhamdulillah, kami dapat jumpa restoren itu dengan mudah.

( After that, we go Konkuk University in a mission to find out where is Gary’s restaurant. Thank God. We found out the restaurant so easily..)

 

Kami ingin berkongsi kegembiraan kami dengan nak belanja Terry yang banyak membantu kami. Kami berjumpa di Hondae. Pada mulanya nak belanja dia makan di Restoren HaHa. Tapi dia tak nak, dia cadangkan satu cafe.

( We wanna share our happiness by treating Terry for dinner because of his helps. So, we met him at Hondae. At first, we said that we wanted to treated him for dinner at HaHa Restaurant but he said he don’t want. He suggested us to ate at another restaurant..)

 

 Kalo korang betul-betul peminat Kim Jong Kook..cer teka kat mana tandatangan dia?..^^

For those who loves Kim Jong Kook, guest which one is his signature? ...^^

 

 Kenderaan nie di namakan Celebrity Van..tak sure artis mana datang Hondae nie..

This called as celebrity van. I’m not sure which celebrity came to Hondae.

 

Dalam perjalanan ke sana, kami sempat mengambil gambar di Hello Kitty Cafe & Coffee Prince Cafe yang terkenal di sini.

On the way we got there, we have a chance to took a picture of Hello Kitty Café and Coffee Prince Café which is so famous right there.

Cafe yang Terry bawa kami adalah Cafe klasik di mana lagu yang dimainkan adalah lagu lama Korea, dan semua aksesori di dalam cafe semuanya klasik seperti deretan piring hitam, pelbagai jenis radio lama & gambar lama juga ada di sini. Aku kagum dengan citarasa Terry.

The café that Terry bought us is Classic Café where it played lots of Korean evergreen song and all the accessories right there were so classic enough such as old disk, various kind of old radios and old pictures too. I feels impressed of Terry’s tasted.
