If you cannot drink milk, if you're lactose intolerant, if you are allergic to dairy, this is the milk you need to get.
43
I used to feel so left out
44
because I would see people drink like the banana milk
45
and the coffee and I can't drink those because if I do I literally shit myself.
46
And then I found this milk and it's low -key better than any banana, strawberry, commotion, commotion?

Combination.

I think it's like an almond and walnut milk.

My first appointment of the day is getting a color analysis and then right after that I'm getting my makeup done.

So I just literally woke up.
54
I literally woke up and I'm gonna hope they make me look pretty.
55
The next thing we got was this yogurt.
56
It looks like a Korean version of like the Chobani flip and I love me a good Chobani I'm all for it.
57
If this just tastes like yogurt and cereal, I'm gonna be a bit sad.
58
Mix it all together.
59
And you know you got this to both worlds.
60
I should have gotten ramen.
61
Why didn't I do that?
62
Bon apple titties.
63
Wait, that's really good.
64
It tastes a little bit like froyo.
65
This is really niche, but yochi tart.
66
Next, we have our triangle kimbap.
67
If anyone knows who this lady is, let me know, because I'm just not really tapped in to like pop culture.
68
I don't really watch shows.
69
attention span for it.
70
I have a feeling it's culinary class boards but I don't know.
71
Let me know if you know.
72
This is huge.
73
I think the rice is flavoured.
74
It's a dry orange.
75
That's pretty good.
76
Wait, hold up.
77
They have similar things in Japan, the onikus, but the ones in Korea I find are like a lot bigger.
78
day whoa guys I put my onigiri on top of my yogurt wrapper
79
so I wouldn't touch the table
80
but now there's yogurt all over it I didn't think of
81
that we're gonna try this
82
and this hmm just pretend that's not there it's like sour cream guys I was okay
83
and we got the Dubai chocolate cookie I don't Let's open it.
84
This is what it looks like.
85
It feels a little bit hard.
86
Wait, that's pretty good.
87
This is really green.
88
This is greener than the one I had yesterday from a cafe.
89
Wait, this is bomb.
90
I reckon it would have tasted better if I just left it out for a little bit so it's not so cold.
91
Low key guys.
92
That's probably one of the best Dubai chocolate cookies I've ever had.
93
I felt a bit awkward talking normally when there was
94
so many people just trying to eat in peace before 9 to 5.
95
Oh my god!
96
I also feel like it's a vibe eating this in the cold.
97
I actually had one of these yesterday when I filmed my street food video, but it just tastes so yummy.
98
Like if you've never had Asian sweet potatoes, you gotta get onto it.
99
And the fact that you can literally get it for like two bucks at a convenience store here.
100
Australia, I'm gonna need you to set it up.
101
Oh.
102
Oh, thank you.
103
Yeah.
104
Oh, okay.
105
No pain.
106
Thank you.
107
I have an audio like you just said.
108
This is so good.
109
I'm so happy.
110
This is probably one of my favorite foods.
111
If you ever come to Korea, they have a very particular way to sort their rubbish.
112
They have a lot more categories to separate.
113
And so when you're throwing away your rubbish, you have to be really mindful because if you mess up, they also get really mad.
114
There's been a few times where I've accidentally put something in the wrong bin
115
or like there was a little bit of food wastage on like one of my plastic containers
116
and like the convenience store workers will, they will tell you, they will get mad.
117
And so to avoid me messing up, I have just been keeping all my food rubbish throughout the day in a plastic bag
118
and carrying it with me throughout the day
119
and then i will throw it away at my hotel
120
because it's just easier
121
that way i don't want to make anyone mad i'm not a i'm not about
122
that confrontation oh i got a ghost i need to go to my appointment
123
and the next time you see me i'm gonna be looking
124
a lot better than i do now i'm back i got
125
my makeup done slay slay however i am experiencing a caffeine crash
126
and i am also very hangry so let's get some We were so hungry.
127
- It's time.
128
I really feel like eating like a cheesy, cheesy ramen.
129
I'm so hungry, I can't even, I'm like half asleep right now.
130
Can't decide, I don't know.
131
Also, I'm too lazy to get my Google Translate out.
132
Oh, I also have to take one of my contacts out because it got kind of like stained.
133
I don't know what happened, but I couldn't see out of this eye.
134
I can't really say.
135
I'm not really sure what's going on.
136
Okay, guys.
137
I'm deciding between this one and this one.
138
Because this one has a burger on it.
139
I have an idea.
140
Oh, I can't decide.
141
I think this is probably spicy.
142
And this is like non -spicy.
143
Let's get this one.
144
Okay, first things first, guys.
145
Before we do anything.
146
Oh, my God.
147
I'm so sleepy.
148
I don't know if it's because like while I was getting my makeup done my eyes were closed for some of it, but like girl, I am asleep right now.
149
Another meal, another coffee, you know how it goes.
150
Oh shit, oh shit.
151
Anyways, what do you guys think of my makeup?
152
I honestly really like it.
153
It's like really different to how western makeup artists have done my face.
154
And honestly, I think I prefer it because it just suits my features a lot more.
155
Okay, we have chocolate almond milk.
156
dairy free they haven't tried my iced coffee combos my korean iced coffee combos And now we have an ice moka.
157
Am I a genius?
158
Yes.
159
A straw?
160
Thank you. Can you hear that?
161
This is music to my ears.
162
Oh my god, I needed this.
163
- Thank you.
164
I'm gonna cry.
165
Okay what else did I get?
166
I actually don't really remember I kind of blacked out in there hey.
167
I didn't get too much stuff I feel like usually I get like a whole spread
168
but I think I want to like go to more convenience stores
169
and get less things at each one to like really explore you know what I mean?
170
We have this ramen.
171
I don't know what flavor this is.
172
Let me do a little google translate.
173
I'm guessing chicken burger.
174
Oh squid.
175
Squid?
176
Loteria.
177
Oh what?
178
Translation is not translating.
179
Squid alive.
180
Spicy stir fried noodles.
181
I also got mandu which are dumplings and I'm pretty sure we just microwave this.
182
Do I put the whole thing in?
183
Let's go cook these up.
184
Put the sauce in.
185
Oh am I meant to drain this?
186
Oh shit I am.
187
I hate doing this.
188
Ah!
189
Ah!
190
Okay, let's try some of our mandu.
191
Ta -da!
192
I'm so hungry guys.
193
I'm so freaking ready.
194
Mmm.
195
It's pork, chives and glass noodles inside.
196
Wait.
197
That's delicious.
198
Mm -hmm.
199
Mm -hmm.
200
Oh, that's so good.
201
Okay, I'm gonna go drain our noodles.
202
I'm so excited guys earlier today when I was eating breakfast.
203
I saw like three guys eating instant noodles with like rice or something for breakfast and it looked so good.
204
They made it look delicious and I was like damn why didn't I get instant noodles?
205
Why am I concerned about what time it is all of a sudden?
206
Alright, let's add the sauce.
207
Oh, oh damn.
208
She's low -key giving bullduck, is she not?
209
Alright, I don't know if this is gonna melt but I'm honestly too lazy to go back inside.
210
I've been in and out of that convenience store like four times already and that lady just be, she be looking at me.
211
Oh I'm in such a better mood now that I'm eating.
212
This smells really spicy by the way.
213
Forgot to mention, I might die.
214
Look guys, we might have to go back into the microwave.
215
Don't know if this is gonna melt.
216
I feel like I need a microwave it.
217
All right.
218
Guys, it looks and smells freaking amazing.
219
There's like bits of, I think that's onion in it.
220
Oh my god.
221
foaming at the mouth.
222
Do you see how cheesy?
223
Oh that makes me so happy!
224
Mmm.
225
Mmm.
226
Oh that's really spicy. That is bomb.
227
Oh wait, I think there was a fried chicken.
228
There's a truck going beep beep.
229
Mmm.
230
It's really spicier than bura.
231
I think the reason why there was a fried chicken burger on it is
232
because it's meant to be like a hot chicken flavor, like bura.
233
That's why it tastes so similar.
234
Why does this always happen to me?
235
Oh, so my but on this video there was a trump as well.
236
Let's try it with the mandu.
237
Oh my god.
238
That's pretty spicy.
239
Our pickled radish, this stuff is so good, especially if you're eating something spicy or oily. With the knockoff bullduck.
240
I love combining different foods.
241
It's always a new flavor entering your mouth.
242
This is so delicious.
243
I'm so happy.
244
A lot of people always ask me how I handle to eat so much spice and honestly the answer is I don't.
245
I just add stuff to my spice.
246
Like I added cheese, I have the pickled radish, I have the mandu which has meat in it and it reduces it a lot.
247
Also guys that sweet potato I ate earlier really fucked me up
248
because right after I had to shit so bad and it was like 10 .30 at that point.
249
My appointment was at 11.
250
And so I had like not a lot of time to like shit and then get to my appointment.
251
minutes late so I was meant to do a color analysis
252
but because I was like I just did the makeup yeah
253
that was on me for having uncontrolled bowel movements
254
if you have IBS you would know
255
that like sometimes you just get hit with this urge to this urge to go to the bathroom
256
and when it hits it hits oh I completely forgot I got this this says microfiber on it
257
if you guys have been following me for a
258
while you would know
259
that every time I eat something spicy I need to take a fiber supplement with it
260
because again uncontrollable urge to go to the It's a little orangey flavor as well.
261
Metamucil is quaking.
262
This makes me excited for dinner.
263
So before I show you my face, I just want to say don't freak out, okay?
264
I look a little crazy.
265
I look a little scary, dare I say.
266
If you have trypophobia, definitely stop watching this video right now.
267
Just click out.
268
This is your chance.
269
Exit out of this video.
270
Do not come back for like the next video or so.
271
I don't.
272
I...
273
Was not expecting my face to look like this.
274
I am genuinely frightened every time I see my reflection, so just don't make a big deal out of it, okay?
275
But I'm gonna show you.
276
I'm keeping it real.
277
Okay, don't forget, I'm gonna show you. But I go Regeran!
278
Sorry!
279
funny story i walked into a skin clinic as you do
280
in korea they are very famous for you know skin stuff
281
and then i did this like little 3d scan thing it
282
was very humbling they like told you all your problem areas
283
you know you need more hydration you have wrinkles forming here
284
like you need to take more care of your skin basically
285
and then i got recommended some treatments
286
that will improve the quality of my skin and because you know i'm in my self -care era the doctor recommended
287
which is a really popular skin treatment right now.
288
If you don't know what that is, it's literally salmon sperm, and they inject it all over your face.
289
And it's meant to help improve your hydration, your skin elasticity.
290
It's just meant to really replenish your skin.
291
I honestly heavily considered not finishing this video or finishing it another day because...
292
Girl, I look chopped.
293
But because I kind of have a social media platform, I want to keep it real.
294
I've always tried to keep it as raw and unfiltered on my channel as possible, even if that means showing the ugly parts of my life.
295
But this is real.
296
This is me.
297
I did actually go under sedation for the treatment, which honestly was probably a dumb idea looking back on it because I am literally alone.
298
However, when I first did the consultation, they were like, you can do numbing cream, but we really recommend you undergo sedation.
299
Like why the hell would I need sedation for a freaking skin treatment?
300
And then he was like, okay, if you say so, we'll just give you the numbing cream.
301
They gave me the numbing cream.
302
They started injecting like little thingies into my face.
303
I'll upload a photo here, maybe.
304
Just don't freak out, okay?
305
I'm sorry.
306
This is really raw and ugh, okay?
307
upset of how painful it was like it was just
308
so painful that my body produced tears genuinely i have never experienced
309
so much pain in my entire life he did have my face and then i was like you know what
310
Is it too late to go under sedation?
311
Because I understand why it was offered to me now.
312
It was crazy.
313
Anyways, if I'm a little woozy, it's because I just woke up.
314
Yeah, anyways, let's go get dinner.
315
We back here, baby.
316
Let's go.
317
People keep staring at me because of my face.
318
Okay, hear me out.
319
Before you get mad at me for going back to the same place, I saw a noodle here
320
i want to get a yummy drink whoa that's the one this one these look
321
so good gs25 bangs guys are you seeing that - Oh my god.
322
- Let's start off with our peach drink.
323
It has little jellies in it.
324
I'm so thirsty.
325
This looks freaking phenomenal.
326
Also has a sausage.
327
I forgot, I also got some fried chicken.
328
The fried chicken, so cold.
329
I can't believe it comes with a whole sausage.
330
This might be my new favorite.
331
Obviously I didn't forget about CU.
332
Let's go!
333
Guys, I think they just stocked up.
334
Ah, damn.
335
Oh, oh, oh.
336
I went a little crazy, guys.
337
Oh, yeah.
338
You know what time it is.
339
This snack haul at the end of the day is probably my favorite part of any convenience store run.
340
Like, when I am traveling and not filming a challenge video, I will always get a fun snack at the convenience store to try.
341
Because it's just so fun.
342
Like, where am I going to find Tongue Hulu chips?
343
You know what I mean?
344
Like, that's freaking crazy.
345
Green tea, taiyaki, I think it's called ice cream.
346
I have a feeling it's gonna be like an ice cream sandwich.
347
Oh!
348
jokes it's like a waffle you're not
349
that crunchy actually the red bean is like probably the best
350
part honestly i am loving the dubai chocolate craze here you can get dubai chocolate literally
351
anything this is what she looks like oh
352
so guys i'm looking a little i'm looking a little rough
353
around the edges right now that's okay we all have our days oh damn okay fucking good.
354
It's not really a brownie.
355
It's more like a sponge cake on the outside.
356
So it's still light and airy.
357
This is so delicious.
358
You guys know my sweet tooth?
359
This is my favorite thing I've eaten by far.
360
Next, let's try this matcha croissant chip that I found.
361
Whoa.
362
Wow.
363
It's like rice puffs coated in matcha powder.
364
It's exactly that.
365
Oh, this one really caught my eye because it looks Pokemon on it.
366
I think this is Eevee.
367
If this is a sweet burrito, I'm gonna lose my shit.
368
Wait, hang on.
369
That's a little bit weird.
370
Oh my god, so many things just happened.
371
It's still salty, but it's chocolate. Do I like it?
372
I'm not sure.
373
I like really like it, but also at the same time, I don't.
374
Shall we do something savory?
375
I think this looks like a ramen snack.
376
And also this potato snack.
377
I got it because I like the look of this.
378
I feel like I'm gonna like this one.
379
This is what it looks like.
380
It kind of tastes like veggie straws.
381
I forgot I got these.
382
I got it because it looks cute because I wanted to try a Korean lolly for you guys.
383
Ooh, these look like sour straps.
384
Sour straps are my favorite candy, fun fact.
385
Korean sour strap, guys!
386
It smells like shin ramen you guys have ever had those
387
prawn crackers tastes like a kind of spicy version of that Also guys, I feel a little bit nervous
388
because I feel like I've been eating less in my videos
389
and showing less food Like for example in today's convenience store video I ate a lot less than
390
if you look at last year's video and the reason behind
391
that is because I've been trying to take better care Of my gut.
392
Don't know.
393
I have IBS which is irritable bowel syndrome and
394
when I eat a lot of food in one sitting it makes me blow I feel pregnant.
395
Over the past year, I've just been working on my portion control
396
and also trying to be like a little bit healthier and like not eating instant ramen every single day.
397
Back then, I was working on it, but when I was filming a video, I think like subconsciously, I would just try to eat more food
398
because I wanted to be entertaining and I wanted to make a good video for you guys.
399
I don't know, recently, I've just wanted to keep it more raw
400
and just actually eat the foods that I really want to eat and like not force myself, not like force myself, but like not push myself to eat more than I can chew, if that makes sense.
401
I don't think that's the same.
402
But you know what I mean.
403
So yeah, let me know if the video was
404
so interesting even though I didn't hella pig out I feel like I kind of pig down on the snacks though.
405
Not gonna lie.
406
Okay, last but not least we have the Tanguku snack Whoa, it looks like cheetos.
407
Tell me that doesn't look like a cheeto What the fuck I can't even explain to you what I just ate
408
It's a really nice and crunchy but I don't know about the taste anyways.
409
I'm gonna go finish my snacks and watch some YouTube let me know what channel do you watch give me some suggestions?
410
I'm always looking for new youtubers to watch let me know
411
if you like this video make sure to like comment subscribe and Yeah, sorry about my face.
412
It will not be fixed by the next video because I'm filming that tomorrow
413
But the video after that she'll be less inflamed, but I feel like it's actually gone down quite a bit I don't know stay tuned if you want updates.
414
Thanks for watching and for keeping me company on my solo trip.
415

416

What is the Shadowing Technique?
Shadowing is a science-backed language learning technique originally developed for professional interpreter training and popularized by polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. The method is simple but powerful: you listen to native English audio and immediately repeat it out loud — like a shadow following the speaker with just a 1–2 second delay. Unlike passive listening or grammar drills, shadowing forces your brain and mouth muscles to simultaneously process and reproduce real speech patterns. Research shows it significantly improves pronunciation accuracy, intonation, rhythm, connected speech, listening comprehension, and speaking fluency — making it one of the most effective methods for IELTS Speaking preparation and real-world English communication.
