 안녕하세요! Hello, everyone! 🇲🇾✨

My name is Nicole, and I’m from Malaysia. I’m currently pursuing Bachelor of Marketing (Honours) at Tunku Abdul Rahman University of Management and Technology (TAR UMT). I love learning about branding, consumer trends, and innovation. I recently completed an internship at Deloitte Malaysia, where I gained hands-on experience in market research, event planning, and media monitoring. It was an exciting journey that helped me improve my strategic thinking and creativity.





One of my biggest interests is learning new languages and cultures! I can speak English, Malay, Chinese, Cantonese, Hokkien, Hakka and a little bit of Japanese and Korean. My mom and I love watching K-dramas, and I’ve been watching them since I was a kid! This made me even more interested in learning Korean. I also enjoy watching Korean food mukbang and travel Korea vlogs, which always make me want to experience Korea for myself.




I hope to visit Korea someday, especially Seoul, Myeongdong (which I see as a "women’s paradise"), and Jeju Island! I can’t wait to explore local markets, beautiful landscapes, and cultural landmarks. Of course, food is a must—I really want to try authentic marinated raw crab, Korean BBQ, and all kinds of street food!



If you have any recommendations for places to visit, food to try, or useful Korean phrases, feel free to share them with me! Looking forward to making new friends. 잘 부탁드립니다! 😊✨



This is nyonya clothes-traditional Peranakan outfit. Peranakan refers to people of mixed Chinese and local Malay/Indonesian heritage. My grandma also one of the nyonya

  2. Marinated Raw Crab? A unique pick for a foreigner! I wonder if there are similar foods in Malaysia?
