Anneyong Haseyo - April 19-21 final part

Dear All..it takes me ages to complete my posting..ahhahaha...well,im bit bz once in office..only rely on nite to update my blog...although it is May, i still want to post this final part of my korean edp program..it will be a good reference for others (i think it that way)...

April 19 - That morning we had sandwiches, oranges and apples for breakfast..not forgetting snacks and cheese biscuit (i think so)...then we head for New & Renewable Energy Test Bed in Buan City..seriously this talk is hard for me to understand..since the scientist keep on telling about formula of hidrogen..hahahha..hard ok for an accountant to recall science jargon...but im impress of his knowledge..every question raise is answered n being elaborate further (that part is hard to understand too...lol)...



marie and me become closer..bff

then, we went to Hyundai Motors Co in Asan City...


again..marie become my model...

we took plant tour guided by handsome spokeperson..unfortunate i did not take his photo..hahahah..n we were not allowed to take any picture during the tour..it is my second time visitng car manufacturing factory..last year i went for PROTON in Tanjung Malim..for me the line is mostly the same except this Hyundai plant is much bigger n spacious...we were given Hyundai miniature car as rememberance...

April 20 - The last day at COTI, I think everyone are eager to finish everything (for last minute shopping n looking forward for Malaysia)...

On the last day, we had our wrap-up session & action plan presentation..everyone got about 3-5 minutes to present their own action plan. i definitely choose health/wellness..since im envy the korean ladies curve (no fat woman on the street of Seoul)...



wrap up n closing ceremony

then we had our lunch together..it was so delish..we as always finish everything on the plate...lol..


nice garden



i LOVE those prawn



delicious

Right after lunch, we had the whole afternoon on ourselves..marie and me decided to go to namdaemun market (for my last brooch shopping) then we went to Seoul Tower...



look for this building if u intend to buy korean brooch



Seoul Tower

Marie and me did not reach the tower since my knee is still in pain..we only takes a few pics (the tower from far as above pic)..most important thing, we both really enjoy the day...



happy..us

We took our flite from Incheon at 11.00am and reach KLIA around 5.00pm..that time the only thing in my mind is mr hubby, hanis and hadi...

till then, i end up my EDP Program in COTI, Korea...



Anneyong Haseyo - April 16 - 18

April 16 - It was monday and we were on top of Cheonggye Mountain...well for the outdoor team building activity, we were climbing/hiking the mountain..for me..it was easy to climb, but a bit hard during coming down since my left knee still in pain, thanks Hisham for lending ur hiking stick for me...well, for the team building, we were ask to wear the same outfit in groups...so my team choose red korean shirt and adidas jersey...

proud with Kak Norizah spirit for the hiking..

April 17 -  We check out from the hotel headed for our 3 days field trip..we were being introduce to our translator..Miss Vivien...she knows everything..a good spokeperson perhaps....and pretty! (I must say)

First we went to Jinju-city for lunch..it is a small city actually.the food..delicious...


we finish everything on the plate

 Then we headed towards Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering Co. Ltd (DSME)... this is my first time visit a big huge plant...never in my life i would imagine to visit this type of place..thanks to this program for the good exposure...fact: DSME was built on a reclamp sea water area..100%..that's impressive...unfortunately no photos are allowed at the plant..so the pics is on the office area only...

wow...everyone is amaze!

nice looking lady from DSME

Later that day, we arrived at Chungmu Mariana Resort.. we spent one nite stay and we were changing partner for sleep (i mean my partner is not the same as in Ambassador Hotel)...

We were given opportunity for yatch/cruise at the sea just in front of the resort..there are birds (may b eagles..i dont know..hahahha..we can feed them just like in Langkawi)...we enjoy the cruise but it was not untill sunset..huhuhuhuuuu..so no romantic mood..hahhaha

mr penghulu - Siva has the chance to drive the yatch

nice view..it's a bit cold..thanks mr park for lending ur jacket to me...

April 18 - next day we off to Posco which was located in Gwangyang city..Posco is a steel company (biggest in the world)..we were shown how the iron are made..but sorry no photos are allowed...most of the raw materials are imported from Australia..processed in the factory..the metal then exported and use domestically for car building.. i rarely see woman, may b this type of work suit man most...

concentrate on the talk given by the repsentative

Then we had lunch at Gokseong city...delish as usual...we had bibimbap actually..the old folks made it as welcoming our visit...here we were given chance to mix how many rice and vege (ingredient) on our own according to our need..

We were given speech and information about the Information Network Village (INVIL)...The head of the community introduce us the crops that they planted...we even have enough time for Q&A  session...



knowledge sharing by INVIL Head

And the best part, we were allowed to pick strawberry by ourself...fact: Korean strawberries is much sweet compare to Cameron Highland strawberries...

strawberry picking

i never knows guys also like strawberries just like the ladies do

Later that day we check in at Korean Traditional Style Resort...from the outside it looks like an ordinary korean traditional house..but they have improve the facility so u can find fridge, tv, normal bulb, hot and cold water tap, heater..etc...

Before we call it a day, we went for rail bike...it was an old railway, they commercialise it into tourism attraction....that nite, we had a simple bbq...

The resort relates to the old story of Sim Cheong (Im not sure is this the right spelling)..how his blind father has raise her..how she sacrify her life to save his father in the hope his eyes will be ok..at last she married the king and met with his blind father....touching when Vivien share the story...

Anneyong Haseyo - April 13 - 14 2012

lets continue....

April 13 - we were schedule for On Job Training (OJT)..We were divided into 5 group (4 in one group)...my group went for Korea Immigration Office and Korea Customs Office...Both department really helpfull and they prepare presentation for us for better understanding of their workflow..it is a good experience since if i come to Korea for holiday, for sure will not be allowed in prohibited area for example the reinvestigation office at Incheon International Airport. They show us the latest technology that they use in daily task...however, there are short limit of time for Q&A...(unfortunately no photos are allowed)

April 14 - Early in the morning we were bought to Namdaemun Market for brooch shopping..OMG...im almost fainted to see their market..so huge..so many choice..and since we only have about 2 hours for brooch shopping, i fully utilise it...well, choosing the best in short time is not a good idea..not good for mind shopping..hahahhaa...however i manage to grab for my loves one + officemate...

Later we went for taekwondo basic class..unfortunately i sprank my left knee..perhaps till now i feel it hurt ( i still can't perform my prayer as usual..i have to sit down to perform prayer)...



taekwondo basic class

During lunch we had delicious ever fish 'IKAN Bakar'...In Korea there are no gravy like the one we can find in Umbai, Melaka..the fish can be eat without gravy (since im not a big fan of wasabi..hahahha)..(actually they put wasabi plus small portion of soy sauce)...i just dip my fish with the sauce only...and yet..the taste..woowwww..so yummy...

 



fresh fish..



places surround the restaurant..+ the guys with happy tummies

Then we headed to COTI for Korean Homestay experience..Kak Baya and me become sisters..we were fortunate to have Nikko and hubby as our host parents...that's include her cute lil granddaughter..chionnn (i dont know how to spell her name)...lucky us!  That nite we had dinner at Jessica (Italian Restaurant)..

April 15 - In the morning, Nikko cook for us..seriously she cook about 11 dishes + rice it will be 12...but its all in small portion...the must have dish is KIMCHI...Nikko made her own kimchi..she even have kimchi freezer in her house..that impressive right...

Nikko and hubby brought us to Nami Island. Its about 1 and 1/2 hours drive..we have to use ferry to the Island..it a bit crowded since it was sunday...everywhere we can see families...parents...kids...toddlers..babies..we even met Malaysian on holiday too...later that day, Nikko sent us back to Ambassador Hotel..we really enjoy the trip...(some of friends may be jeolous of us for that)hahahhahaha....
