Another #notserious post. Korean CFs are 짱 (awesome). When I first came across Korean CFs a few years back, I was totally wow-ed by the quality and ‘feel’ of the commercials.

삼선 슬리퍼
푸하하하하!!! I’m strangely happy that I finally found out what is the name of the slippers that are so common in Korea. I should have guessed. For those who don’t get it, it means ’3 lines slippers’. Ingenious. Dare I venture to say that almost all Koreans will have at least a pair at home?
Rainy days in Seoul
It’s kind of interesting to compare the sights during rainy days in Seoul and Singapore. Here’s some interesting things I’ve seen. 1.
