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.
