They're kinda busy now, as it's June School Holiday. They are so busy that if you don't remind or scream them to stop playing... they can forget to eat and bath! Headache, right?!

Their favourite game is Minecraft. For school holiday, everyday they play it for around 5-6 hours. Besides playing MC, thhey also like to watch something related to Minecraft and Korean variety show "Running Man" from Youtube.

They do record and post some videos about Minecraft in Youtube too. Here are the recent videos on Pixel Art:

My first shopping with 11street (Korea)

Meheartseoul| 11street Korea Online Shopping
It's Saturday 7.20 am, still lying on my bed playing Candy Crush when my son came in with a paper and a pen asked me to sign. Thought that it's something related to his school exam paper. He'll said postman was outside and he'll pass the paper to the postman after I signed it. But, he came in and asked me to go out as I need to open the door and bring in the parcel. Aigoo! no choice... I need to wake up!

Just for your information, I love to shop online for almost everything from local and overseas online shopping platforms. I find it's very convenience as I don't need to go out from house, wasting my time go around as I tend to lost my way, and after that have to bring back heavy shopping bags.

So? what did I order online recently? groceries was delivered here around last week, my Customers' orders arrived 2 days ago, health supplement was here yesterday... yesterday before I went to bed, the status shown "Delivery in Progress (Air Delivery)" for my orders from 11st Korea.
The parcel is really from 11st Korea, which I ordered 27 May and it took only 5 days (to be exact only 4.5 days as I ordered them in the evening) to reach here ^^

I purchased these 6 caps from this seller, 선남선녀


Here are the reasons why I bought the caps/ hats:

11st Korea Online Shopping | www.meheartseoul.blogspot.com
1. Bought this cap from another online shopping from Korea...
but somehow the cap decided to go back it's hometown in Korea (lost it in Gyeongju) ㅠㅠ

2. Don't like crazy messy hair...

3. Protect head, face and eyes from the sun

4. Fashion accessory to look more stylish. Somehow it's quite useful for hygiene purpose...
I put on the cap before the helmet, as not sure whether the helmet was clean because it's used by many people

6. FREE TRIP TO KOREA!!!
11st is holding a Post Reviews Event...
one of the lucky winners will get Free Roundtrip Ticket to KOREA



Wohoo!!! I must NOT miss out this chance, because:
1. I need the cap. 
2. Free International Shipping Coupon of  KRW30,000
3. Free Trip to the country that I'm dreaming of day and night

Therefore I decided to order through 11 street Korea, though quite worried that I might not be able to get the cap in time for my cruise and not in time to write a review as the event is until 4 June 2013.

I'm so happy and thankful as my orders arrived much earlier than what I expected.

Items are nicely wrapped in plastic bag before put them in the box.
As the box is only 1/2 full, they put a big bubble wrap on top on the empty space to make sure the items securely in the box and not being flatten down by heavy items. It's so thoughtful of them ^^

I love swimming and go to beaches... but lazy to apply sunscreen lotion or sometimes I forgot to apply it as I'm not used to apply it. You won't see me carrying umbrella on sunny day... and most of the time you'll see me running in the rain, as I don't like to carry anything including bag (which so many times I left my bag as I thought that I didn't bring anything out)...  But, I'm with my HP all the time (so I can call for help if I forget to bring money or credit card with me :P).

Do you like to wear headgear? Which type / design?


Actually wanted to buy 1 cap only, but ended up with 6 caps as there're a lot of designs available and it's free delivery coupon of KRW30,000 for purchase over KRW50,000. Total of my purchase was KRW78,000 (about SGD 90.00).

I don't have any issues ordering the caps. It'll be more convenience if 11street can add "Bookmark" on the item page, so customer can bookmarks the items they like and reduce time to scroll up and down. Overall pleasant shopping experience through 11street platform. Awesome speed of local and overseas delivery. 정말 고마워요 ^^
