Like a finally finally, the hardcore fangirl finally gets to go to the land of her dreams.
Thanks to my course... I get to go to KOREAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA.
* okay I love NYP ok! *
for goodness sake.
DAEBAK.
The korean air, korean road everything korean.
Really.
Being under the same piece of sky with my dearies.
My life is perfect.
for that moment...
* this is going to be a very photographic post *
So from the first day!
hohoho!
Day 2 ~~
The moment I reached Korea... my lips cracked ><but still! The bazhang us, couldn't hide the excitement!
Almost everyday.. Thanks to Yoochun.. this addiction XD
banana milk!
Our first destination!
Everland Theme Park, it's like damn big and spacious.
Not to mention the temperature there.. it's like somehow in the mountain.
it reminds me so much of disneyland..
 |
| flash pang pang~ |
Never underestimate kiddish rides..
The Flash Pang Pang is the best example cause everyone was screaming when we first took it XD
they have lots and lots of fun rides in it.
be it children rides, or the one that is like really scary.
and after all the fun, we left this place for..
KBS DRAMA CENTRE in Suwon, somewhere beside Seoul.
If you think that we can see celebrities in that building..
sad to say but other than standees and posters, we basically saw no one famous. HAHAHAH!
Oooops!
and we were brought to this filming studio for their ancient dramas.
it's cool!
and also their outdoor sites! It gives off the very...old times during WW2?
and we had the very cool korean bbq for dinner.
Obviously, they don't really eat chicken except for ginseng chicken.
So most of the times it's pork and beef :( sobs.
I don't eat them.
Then we went back to our hotel and it was damn cool!
I wouldn't say it's a hotel but I guess it's more of service apartments?
There's a kitchen, and even washing machine!
When you watch korean dramas, they don't go to the door and open for their guests right?
This is it!
you can hear, can see who's at your door!
at the bottom, it's the heater system within the room..
and it gets really cold if the temp isn't right and the windows are opened...
Day 3 ~
For the second day, we went to our partnering university, KYUNGHEE UNI.and I have to say this.
MY SHIM CHANGMIN IS FREAKING FROM KYUNGHEEE
HOLY SHITTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT.
I went to Changmin's school.
Oh gosh.
AHHHH. perhaps the cafe that we had our lunch, changmin went before.
The canteen that we've walked through, he was there sometime ago.
HOLYYY CANTEEN.
AHAHAHAH CRAZY MUCHHHHHHHHHHH.
but the interior and exterior of the university is seriously DAEBAK.
it's like a castle..
 |
| Their central library..? |
this building is like right up on a very very steep slope.
It's realllllllllllly.....like a castle.
heard that sometimes some concerts are held in it? Can't really remember.
so going to Kyunghee, we went to this like super high class hotel.
W hotel!
The very hotel part of our trip~
this is like the bed in their standard room. Plus, in their rooms, they still have different themes!
Like this theme is Red.
WEEEEHEEEE!
And we went to their suite room. I swear the suite room is like bigger than my whole house ok!
they have this mega big bed in the bed room, and this open style of toilet.
the scenery behind this room is like the Han River I think!
The day we went was kinda foggy so ya..couldn't really see it!
 |
| all the winter kids HEH |
 |
| the toilet within the bedroom. |
 |
| the living room |
like a super class only ah!
but as expected. It's like expensive only... I forgot the exact digits but its like 天价 :/
After that we went to the kimchi school!
we did the last few steps to make the kimchi!
And every kimchi you ate..it was like marinated for a week at least.
The longer you keep, the more sour its gets.
I don't like kimchi tho..the smell...ohhh..
but all these kimchi that we did, will be donated to the elderly at the homes! :D
after that, there's this place where we can wear the hanbok, and take photos!
Everyone looks funny in the costume though! HEHE!
 |
| spot kim hyungjoong and Rain at the back hohohoo! |
although this is not the official one, but at least it's cool enough! <: nbsp="" p="">so right after this! It was the much awaited shopping time!
We went shopping at the Sinchon University Street.
it was actually one of the coldest night I've encountered! Like really cold brrrrrrrrrrr.
there's this...smoke coming out from our mouth when we talk!
even the windows..HEHE!
and this Ginseng Chicken! Superb.
The rice is actually stuffed into the chicken. So when you're eating the chicken you'll discover the rice within. HEHE!
Plus some noodles that you can add in!
Day 4~
Early in the morning...We were brought to the Noryangjin Fish Market!
it was a right choice since everyone is definitely awake after the shocking smell :D
these fresh prawns there are already orange without even cooking!!
It was like -18 degrees inside..
the outside temperature and we're like...hopping around.
and when we got in.. I really felt like dying.
Because those fishy goods are kept in there, so there's this smell..
and it's sooo cold that the moment you step into it, you don't feel your nose anymore.
And you'll tend to breathe in harder....and your nose hurts so much cause of the cold air!
Then here comes the smell..
there's no way I can describe it HAHAHA.
It was fun experiencing it though! XD
my bus partner for that 1 week! Slept like idiot heads on the bus..
it's as though the bus has some sleepy spell that makes us just knock out.
 |
| my girls! |
before heading for lunch, we dropped by the Han River for 10 minutes.
It's really short. But at least we managed to get some photos!
wanted to capture the paranoma photo of the han river..
but unfortunately Mr Wee was standing there... the emo shot!
Our lunch for that day! I swear it's like the best best best food throughout the whole trip.
Its lilke some beef soup in the steamboat style?
The soup is seriously superb. I swear. It's like damnnnnn sweeeeet!~ ahhh I miss it.
to be exact, its like the Singapore Expo in Korea!
Its just muchh more classy and nicer. HAHAHA! oops.. was it a biased statement?
 |
| their exhibition hall! |
and after this COEX, we went to Myeongdong for shopping spree!
 |
| the Seoul Tower! |
Why?
Because of MISSHA.
Last warning.
I know that they are endorsing for this. But must they make it so big!?
And so handsome somemore..
Imagine...in the 6 streets of Myeongdong, and like almost every single street there's this missha there.
But truthfully, shops like Missha, Tony Moly, Etude House and The Face Shop..
you don't have to worry if you missed one.
Cos in a few more steps you'll encounter another outlet.
Once you see one Etude House, look around and you'll definitely find Tony Moly, TFS around.
BIBIMBAPPPPP!!!!!
and right after!
We went to LOTTE WORLD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEHEEEEEE~~~
it was really fun!
It is like USS.
Seriously!
hmmm because we went on a saturday..
the estimated waiting time was like 50-120 minutes.
But there was a KPOP concert! Should I be happy for it?
Most of those who was at the concert were those rookie group.
I've heard their songs but I'm just unsure of who they are!
the moment we stepped into the lotte world, actually there's this men in white who walked past us.
They weren't unfriendly..still waving to us or what..
and after returning, I realised its VIXX.
HOHOHO! The grey hair guy is good looking heehee!
the art piece from Stairways to Heaven! I watched that!!
this bottle..didn't belong to anyone of us.
There's this kpop dance show and so me, Nat and Chermaine ran all the way just to watch it!
Just when we sat down, we saw this bottle and was like trying to peep who was on the bottle..
and the owner of this cup turned back...so... we just borrowed this cup from her. HAHAH!
AND. This guy. He's freaking cute!!!! *eye candy*
and not to miss, Oppa Gangnam Style.
Then all the kids went up and danced to it! Damn cute!
the heartbeat of Lotte World. The queue for this ride is superrrrrr long!
I don't understand why would want to risk their life for this short ride..
it's like spinning and like viking omggg yikes.
We only had 5 hours in it,
so at least I managed to take some rides in it.
The 75degrees Viking was the best!
And the Mummy-similar ride. Just that it wasn't dark inside and there's no major movements of the ride!
And was playing with the tour guide, Ms Liew and Leo!
but beinga a mummy, ms liew didn't want to play the rides..
so in the end, the girls went with Leo!
and while queuing for the Viking ride, Leo bought this for us!
it's like some kinda ice cream...
nice!
I remember eating it in some ice cream form instead of this pattern in Singapore..
HERE WE COME TO THE VERY LAST COMPLETE DAY IN KOREA...
We went to this Vivaldi Park Resort.
It's a SKI resort! Means what?
SNOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!
On the way there, I really felt my toes chilling up bit by bit. And it hurts -_____-
but finally.
In 18 years of my life..
JUST IGNORE MY HAIR.
IT'S BEING AN IDIOT...
but it was reallllllllyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy cold. Including the damn wind. OH gosh.
it's like dirty ice..
it was realllly cold. Especially at night!
Since the dinner was at our own expense for the last night,
peeps went over to Tiff's room and they cooked the dinner!
with maggie mee and some side dishes. And it was damnnn delicious okay!
Victoria the great cook!
and that day was Gordon's birthday! So we celebrated for him by giving him a little surprise!
We wanted to go bowling at night, but unfortunately we got cheated and by the time we went down,
the shop was closed..
So we went to crash Gordon and company's noraebang! their karaoke! HAHA
but the room was so small.
So Lynn and I went back to the room first since she hasn't showered for the whole day!
and being the tv addict...I was watching the tv. HAHAHAHA
when Eunice and Chermaine came back and went to bed, I'm still watching the tv.
I guess my favourite thing in Korea is to watch the tv.
It's really nice.. like in Singapore, I can only watch that 2 pathetic channels.
Whereas in Korea, all the channels are for me.
Especially that MBC music channel.
DAEEEEEEBAK.
But basically everyday I see Teentop and SHINee's song on replay. In the morning, at night.
So i'm really curious how did my roomies put up with me..
For the first 5 days, my dearest roomie Victoria!
Got so much closer to her after sleeping with her.
All the stupid stuffs I did, and my obsessive times watching the tv. HEHEHE!
She's really cute!
and not to mention, my roomies during the last night in Korea..
of course..that night was a happening night. My most emo-night in korea too.
GOT SECRET NEVER SHARE.
This shall be the first and the last that this happened ok!
YOU KNOW WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT.
my dumby. T^T
then the day where we had to leave korea..
I was actually very happy that my flight was delayed for like 2 hours plus.
it meant that I could have more time in Korea?
HAHA!
and once again, buffet before we head for the airport!
But the Korean airport is really different from Singapore's.
They even have this free event like for people like us.
FREE TIME.
and we made a doll each in hanbok!
like step by step!
and it's for free heheheheh!
and finally on the plane back to the land of reality..
when we're back to singapore...
the morning view out of my room..
and my tv..
was watching WGM hehehehehe!
It was a really fun trip with my dearest friends and classmates.
Those late night slumber party, and the nonsenses..
Never regret spending the money although it's the time I start paying back the debt..
but, if I missed this chance, it will never come back.
SO THERE I WENTTTTT.
All thesee moments shall be kept in my life. (:
Finally I'm done with this post. WOAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!
byebye!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D
And so handsome somemore..
Imagine...in the 6 streets of Myeongdong, and like almost every single street there's this missha there.
and a few more steps..
so near yet so far..
you don't have to worry if you missed one.
Cos in a few more steps you'll encounter another outlet.
Once you see one Etude House, look around and you'll definitely find Tony Moly, TFS around.
And those people in those shops literally stuff you with free masks, and push you into their shop.
I've experienced it when I got pushed into this Boyfriend shop...
it was awkward getting out of the shop not buying anything,
so kind Emelynn bought this 1000 won worth of...idk. HAHA with the Boyfriend faces on it!
ohwell. at least I took photos my 5 boys.. <':
the street food that we bought before dinner!
it's like some potato and it's nice :D
When we were in Singapore, we said that we are going to find this shop.
If you watch those SM music videos and you'll see this annoying pop up which you can't cancel.
it's actually this SM owned merchandise shop...
and Emelynn and I plus Ms Liew was like seriously referring to the map and looking for this building.
And finally... we found it!

everysing !!!
This SPAO's stuffs are nice and affordable tho..
and most importantly..
anddd this.
The highlight of this shop. The neoprint machine!!
Lynn and I was like some little kids jumping inside cause we were THAT happy alright.
Imagine la..it's kinda impossible for you to ever take a photo with your kpop idol.
This is the only resort you can!
Happy or what? PARTEHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
For that night, we were supposed to have dinner on our own.
Most of our time we spent on finding this building.
So when we finally found it, it's like almost the time we need to gather!
We went to this 'restaurant' that is like kinda...alright.
And after we got seated, we realized its not alright at all.
After that dinner, I'm grateful to the laws in Singapore.
we were seated beside this huge group of korean youngsters.
They don't seem to be those normal teens anyway.. they were like shouting here and there.
Plus they smoked indoors!
The waiter there was like from china.. but yet it seemed that he doesn't really understand chinese.
it was really a horrible feeling..that the three of us actually just cancelled our orders and fled.
HAHAHA!
Hmmmmmmmmm.
OH! Although it was cold, the sun is still....OMG. Borrowed this cap from Jeremy HOHOH!
As expected..such tourist attractions are flooded with......mainland chinese.
#whatsnew
so peaceful..
and our lunch...
This SPAO's stuffs are nice and affordable tho..
and most importantly..
they are endorsed by SNSD and Super Junior yea!
Idk if its pure coincidence that everysing is above this shop or what. HAHA!
anddd this.

Day 5 ~
We went to the Gyeongbok Palace plus their Blue House...
Is like where the president is?
Something like that la HAHAHA!
OH! Although it was cold, the sun is still....OMG. Borrowed this cap from Jeremy HOHOH!
As expected..such tourist attractions are flooded with......mainland chinese.
#whatsnew
and being in a palace~ these are the guards!
They seem to be ok and fine when you look at them this way.
The moment you step beside them and snap a picture, their stiffness is scary.
They're standing so stiff that I felt scared standing beside them...
and our lunch...
BIBIMBAPPPPP!!!!!
and right after!
We went to LOTTE WORLD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 |
| while snow-fighting? |
in the day, we went t the ocean world? It wasn't some underwater world or sth.
its like their wild wild wet! but due to the low temperature, the outdoor section wasn't opened.
There are sauna, hot spring and some wave pool and small little slides indoor.
the sauna there was...kinda..awkward.
all the women there are naked from head to toe.
Nothing at all. OMG. For the first time in my life so many naked women, young or old walking around me.
yikes.
But we didn't go for that!
We went for their hot spring!
BUT.
That damn hot spring is right OUTSIDE.
So guess what?
All of us, wearing just our wet swimming costumes, and literally SPRINTING out of the building.
The temperature at that time was like 7 and below?
The coldness is beyond description.
But the hot spring was really wonderful in times like this!!

| the night view from Tiff's room balcony |
