Blogging is something that I've always wanted to do for a very long time but never really got round to it.
I felt that it takes so much effort to create a blog in the first place and maintain it.
But FINALLY! Ta Daa! I've finally taken the first step and created my blog :)
For ages I've been thinking what I wanted my blog to be about.
There are so many blogs around these days and some amazing bloggers too.
Some of them (who I will mention in my future posts) even inspired me to create my own blog.
While thinking of what I wanted to write about, I thought it would be interesting to write about my day to day experience as a "jae-wae-gook-min" in living in Seoul.
("jae-wae-gook-min" is a term we use in Korea to call Koreans to have lived abroad for a certain period of time).
This calls for a short introduction about myself.
I was born in Korea and raised till four. When I was four-and-a-half years old, my family and I moved to Malaysia. I completed my primary, secondary and sixth form education at a British international school and finally moved back to Seoul to pursue my studies in clothing and textiles at Seoul National University. I also did a double degree in English Literature.. where I rediscovered my love for books and British poetry. Fourteen years-ish in Malaysia has definitely been the best moment of my life. No doubts about that. Although I love Seoul, Malaysia will always have a special in my heart.
(Speaking of Malaysia makes me hungry. It's half past ten in Seoul and I'm craving for a dish of indo-mee)
Anyway, enough rambling about myself for now. Basically, my blog will be about "Seoul through my eyes". Seeing the city through the eyes of a Korean as well as that of a foreigner. Apart from writing about Seoul's (and Korea's) eateries, shopping spots, hangout spots and fashion trends, I will also be doing some posts on books that I've enjoyed in the past, movies and music I love.
I am also a dancer. It's my fifth year learning latin and ballroom dance and so far I am loving it! So maybe, if I feel like it, I'll be doing some posts on that too.
As you can see... this blog is going to be about basically.. everything!
I'm going to sum up my first post for now and hit for the bed because I plan on getting up at 6am and hit the gym for a quick workout before heading off to work!
So wish me good luck on waking up early!
