1st day - 9 december

took the overnight flight. so reached seoul about 5am. it ws freezing!about -2degrees i think! then waited at the hotel lobby to check in, fell asleep on the couch until it was about 9plus am then went to eat buffet breakfast! after that took a bus up to the seoul tower. it was at the top of the mountain so could see some remnants of the snowfall a few days ago. and the rest of the day just toured around seoul to places like dongdaemun, but didnt get to do much shopping cos of the rest of the family.


2nd day - 1o december



woke up early. met the koh family downstairs at the lobby and we got a pic together. then headed to the everland theme park by bus. its apparantly voted one of the top 5 theme parks by forbes. and its erally not bad, they've got everything from a zoo, to golf course, to water parks and all. so first we visited the animals where we would sit on the enclosed bus and the lions, bears and tigers would be out in the open surroundding us! but i didn't get to try those thrillin adrenaline rush roller coaster rides! cos no one wanted to take them with me, argh! left early and headed to Lotte World. bought yummy Krispy Kremes. oh yeah, you know they're so generous, they actually gave one WHOLE donut as a free sample! then ate dinner at some jap restaurant. and oh, the food in korea is really expensive! walked around abit and headed back to the hotel.



3rd day - 11 december



SKI RESORT!

woke up early in the morning and together with the Kohs we took a Jumbo Taxi to the Lotte mart area to wait for the bus to take us to the YongPyong ski resort. its also the place where they filmed that korean drama winter sonata haha. after the 3 hour bus ride which i spent napping, finally reached the freezing ski resort! snow was everywhere, but we all couldn't wait to get into the hotel! then finally found it, so while waiting for the parents to check in, the girls were fascinated by this teddy bear christmas tree in the hotel lobby. that christmas tree was practically covered with litttle plush teddy bears that were so adorable! so everyone began to bond by secretly taking a teddy from the tree. complete with giggles and all. then we all headed up to the hotel first which they had very special rooms called ondohs or something like that. they're actually heated floors and we all have to sleep on the floor on mattresses. they say you canput a wet sock on the floor and it'll dry ! how cool is that! then went for lunch, bonded somemroe then went for skiing ! we all had NO IDEA how to ski at all but thanks to uncle koh , our instructor , we all managed to grasp it. it was so difficult at first, like climbing up the slope cos you just kept slipping back on going down was wayyyy scary too! and then and then so i fell down, thats when i noticed this guy! he's from singapore too. prolly on holiday. and . . . quite hot too! haha so then all of us decided to have a snowball fight. omg it was so fun! just like in the movies!







OKAY WAIT YOU KNOW WHAT. I'M TIRED OF TYPING EVERYTHING DOWN. BLEAH, JUST ASK ME ABOUT MY EXPERIENCE AND I'LL TELL YOU.

anyway the incident with that hot guy, nothing really happened. but there were some things! haha .

4th day - 13th december

Spent the whole day skiing today! right from after lunch all the way till the night! we bought the package for the ski lift today, which is this gondola chair which takes you all the way the mountain and then you ski all the way down. saved us all the energy from climbing up the slope! i was having ALOT of difficulty skiing down at first, i fell really really badly so many times and i felt like giving up too. but in the end with uncle koh's help, i manged to learn how to turn, which means you ski in a 'S' shape down the slope instead of going all the way straight, which is super fast, scary and not advisable. after mastering it, the rest was just pure fun. and we decided to try the other steeper slope and oh gosh all of us managed to ski all the way down without falling , including my little sis! we were ecstatic! but it was terribly cold too, our hands were frozen and numb. but i still miss the cold weather! sadly today I didn't get to meet anyone, especially that mr mysterious! ohh well.

5th day - 14th december

It was time to be off back on our way to Seoul. This time the bus ride was super fun because all the girls sat at the back and we were like playing all sorts of games, chatting about loads of stuff and listening to music and singing along! and surprisingly even though the other girls are quite young, like primary school, we can still talk about stuff like gossiping about people in our schools and like current stuff in the news, movies and the songs that I listen to. ohh, kids these days.

anyway we finally reached the hotel, and guess what? we camwhored alot, doing all sorts of poses. and it wasn't my idea okay, so now you can imagine what i mean by kids these days.

After that went up to our rooms to play again, before I left for shopping at night with mom, dad and the koh's grandma. we went to dongdaemun. because it was open till dawn . shopped for korean groceries at the supermarket first, and seriously they are extremely generous with samples, so we didn't need to have dinner after that! after that, me and mom carried on shopping at the dongdaemun street and bought really nice bags for such a pretty price, and everywhere was selling hoodies! some of them were really nice, i wanted to get them all! but it was also freezing , i think it was prolly 2 degrees out there. then i tried to convince mom to relish every moment of the coldness because it was our last day in seoul!


ACTUALLY THERE'S MORE. BUT I'M TOO LAZY TO TYPE EVERYTHING OUT.

updates on this week!

Monday - The long awaited gathering between me , michelle and li anne! met real late, and we headed off to tow in search of a place to do manicures but we couldn't find it, and were really tired already. so we headed to new york new york for dinner! i think that can be our all time fav diner! then talked loads about whats going on with us and stuff like that.

Tuesday was nothing much except for dance at night.

and Wednesday was kinda a day full of miscommunications. But in the end, went to ikea forlunch with tiffany and linette. ate alot of the really nice food, then headed back to tampines where tiff left first and walked around with lin.

OH and yesterday! oh gosh it was the fun-nest! met up with chrislyn first before dance and we headed to central mall to get our free starbucks beverages, i drank the toffee nut frapp, it was so nice! then meixiu and her friend, veronica finally arrived and then we queued up again for another drink haha! was so embarrassed when the person told us we can queue as many times as we like , when we were talking about whether it was possible for another round. was so full after two drinks that we walked around a bit and took a bus down to dance. laughed super alot in the bus, and we were real late for dance!





but today it was rehearsing for this sunday's platform and i won't be around! cosi'm flying off tmr! and its really been a super duper long time since i've done platform! sigh but nvm.

anyway i was just reading back on my last year's post and i realised many things were repeated , like the last year's thrusday dance practice , before it, i went out and had a time of my life too, and so was yesterday. and i flew off on the 8th. which i also am doing so this year! ahhaa



sugar, my adorable cat. he looks hilarious here, because my sister's scaring him with dishwashing gloves!

oh gosh, it think today was absolutely amazing! michelle came to join me for church today, and the message by nick vujicic was so touching that i'm really awed and i just feel so blessed after today. the fact that he chooses to trust in God and all even though he's born without arms and legs. but i can really see the beauty of God's love in him and the heart that he has. its just so touching man. and he's such a dear too, after service, we all went up to give him a hug and he said 'i love you' to me! well actually to everyone else too . but its like so, sweet and beautiful (:

haha then after cell , went to meet up with meixiu and her friend, an chrislyn and her cousin to check out the sitex fair thing. oh yeah , and looks like my cell leader still remembers about my NUM bag! oh man, i really really really don't want to return it! but luckily i won't be around next sunday HAHA! hope she doesn't remember about it during the week, i don't think i can give it up. BESIDES i think i ought to have that bag man! like you know, to make up for all those things he'd done.

anyway, over the last couple of days : found out many things from mich about that jerk. what a cunning, manipulative piece of . . . how could he say all those things to her, and about me as well! he's obviously trying to break up our friendship and fabricating stories and all! talk about being eloquent the wrong way!

but all these has made me realise that a relationship is really worth waiting for, so as to avoid any overthetop drama and insane boyfriends!

but no matter what, here's one thing i'll definitely stand firm to ; which is i'll never let any guy break up the friendship i have with any one of my girlfriends. after all, boyfriends can come and go, but girlfriends remain forever.

so plan for tomorrow is meeting up with michelle and li anne after a very very long time! looking forward to it, haven't seen and caught up with li anne for ages! (:
