my flight number was PZ 752 .

lucky me, i got the window seat ! this brother of mine wanted to exchange seat wid me bud insist not too. hahas ! i got the right of not to change and he says i'm self-fish. bleahs ! eventually he got it too . that "chao-lang" go and change it wid my mother's fren. lolls ! in the beginning, i thought the flight was damn cool as they have a screen in front of every seat & i'm able to play games, watch movies , shortfilms , listened to music etc . however, the seat was damn hard ! all of us couldnt sleep at all . poor thing ehhs ? 6 hrs of flight was torturing!! had bi-bim-bap for dinner as there's no more western food left. =( ..
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DAY 2 :
the flight landed at 5.40am ( sgtime ) . Korea's timing was 1 hr faster than Singapore's timing . the immigration centre was fully pack wid ppl. it was so damn crowded . while waiting for our turn, stomach was hurting like hell. from that moment on.. i started to feel damn terrible ! giddiness began. mom accompanied me to the restroom as i wanted to. on our way there, i had no idea whr i was . all i saw was blur & it was turning very badly. that's the scariest moment of my life . this was my first time occuring this situation . all i did was holding my mom's hand tightly and she guided me all the way to the toilet . when i entered in the cubicle, i went black for 2 secs & i woke up . had diahorrea . felt alittle better after a while. slowly,we went back to our queue. not long after, i vomitted . my face turned green & my lips were very pale . quickly went to sit down after the immigration. felt so much better after taking medication . i suspected that i was hafing food poisoning .
after taking our luggages , we went to look for our tour guide and we were given one hr to change into our thicker clothing plus breakfast as well.

OUR ROOM - that's how we sleep :
went back to our room at 2pm plus to haf some rest ..
at balcony :
& off to indoor water theme park . though it's cold as we were just wearing our swim suits bud it dammn fun...!! each of us were given a watch for us so dat we are able to unlock our lockers. the watch is so damn cool.if only singapore has that. it wld be so "fang bian" .
we played the slide first ..wid and without float. then we went to the lazy river next wid the guys . they had indoor and outdoor . one thing that is so shiok abt it is that you won't even feel cold even though u are wid yea swimsuit only when u are outside coz the water is warm ! all of us were feeling so comfortable that we practically went rounds and rounds that we dun even wanna enter in. hahs !
okays ! enough of lazy river & its time to go for hot spring! this one was another section. so we had to ran out and enter into the water which is running at 40 degrees . all of us were screaming away when we ran. this creates lots of attention to the ppl. all of them were looking at us. the weather is bloody damn cold la ! hahs . we were luffing so loudly when we entered in .
arhhhhhhhhs ~ once we entered in, we dun even wanna get out. wishing that we cld just stay there.coz its so warm and comfortable . after a while we were worried that we wld feel cold again on our way . never did i thought it was actually alright afterall. mayb the water had warmth our body le bahs . its 5 plus already . time to head back to the changing room to change back to our clothing . when i entered in, i was OMG ! whyy are the ladies so OPEN here ? whereas we SINGAPOREANS are so conservative? hahs ! they walked around naked just like that okays ? i was like WHAT ? they realli had a different culture from us .
we were telling the guys abt it when we are out then they were saying " wahhs! got figure anot? why didnt u gurls take videos for us to watch ?"
these guys deserve some beating. don't they? hahs. this brother still happily ask me , "geradine! u shld use ur hp to take. they wouldnt noe." LOL !
returned back to resort after that to haf a nice warm bath & off for dinner . had mushroom steamboat. i ate so much for the day ..2 bowls of rice & 3 bowls of hotsoup. thats so unlikely of me ehhs? Romeo & Kenny saw us eating so much also bth.
ate for an hr and back to the resort. its freezing cold weather for the day. grrrrr~ .. i knocked out at 7pm. early ehhs ? hahas .
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DAY 4:
first stop of the day was at the fishing village . ever heard " my fairytale in autum " before ? is actually a show . thats the place where they film their show there . happened to saw 2 dogs while walking, they were soo adorable. u just gib a clap, and they wld come to you. sadly to say that because my parents think that the dogs there are dirty so they do not allow me to touch when they saw me touchin them. =( ..
i love seeing the waves when i saw the beach. its realli a total different one from singapore. their waves are real strong . its realli beautiful when i saw them .
next , we head to mount sorak . took a grp photo before taking the cable car.
the scenary was simply beautiful on our way up when we were in the cable car . after alighting, we had to slowly climb up to the peak of the mountain. took some pictures too while climbing up. its not easy to climb. many slip and fall. had to be extra careful .
me & dad touching snow :
mom & me :
these are some pictures of the scenary after climbing up ..
took a family photo b4 getting down ..
on our way down to the cable car ride ..
i BITE you SNOW :
third destination , Kenny brought us to the temple . its kinda similar to chinese though . hmms ~ interesting ! on our way back to the bus , saw this kid . she is just so adorable. her parents covered her up. hahs ! all we can see was her eyes . this gal just learnt how to walk . i am so in love wid dis kid. this kind parent of hers allowed us to take photos wid her . =) ..
last stop of the day . was dinner time ! had bbq chicken . it doesnt taste that nice though . still prefer first day food.hees ! then we were disturbing Romeo and aunty nancy . she was the JULIET . hahs ! we started taking photos wid him again .
3 gals wid SHUAI GE ( that's wad we call him ) :
went to DaeYung Resort after dinner. that's our second resort. this resort was so much bigger. however i still prefer previous one. hees ! after unpacking all our stuffs , all the youngers went to vanessa's room to had mushroom soup. it was like .. eeeeeeeeeeeeee ! the soup was so thick & salty. the soup sux. then, we play shit head again !! this time was damn fun . we had the same partners again. me and da sao got the highest point ! hahs. this black hearted brother of mine go and dua zhen jie the last round so that he does not haf to get punished. as the grp wid the lowest point haf stand outside for 30 secs . the weather was damn cold .

LIGHTS OFF !
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DAY 5:
before leaving the ski resort :
da sao and me looked like a ball when we hug each other. lolls ! :
EVERLAND was the first stop of the day . i did enjoyed all my rides . took the cable car ride down to nite safari to see some animals. the guide brought us there. shaomin, van, me & justin sat together during the cable car ride. we thought it was scary in the first place but it wasnt after all.
walked down night safari after that.we had to queue up for 1 hr for that. hahs ! we were seated in the bus and saw some lions, tigers and bears on our way in the bus. these animals were set free ! unlike singapore's ones.
look at the bears .. they were so beautiful . reminds me of dar ! coz he's one of them. =X !
after the ride, we had to pass through the souvenirs shop and we saw these hats ! its so cute ! bud not cheap ok ? it cost abt sg 30 bucks !
quickly went out for debrief wid kenny so that we were able to get our tickets for our rides and then,we will be free and easy .enjoying ourselves like nobody business. lolls !
while walking up to the cablecar as we nd to sit to get up to the thrill rides area..saw some animals on our way.
that's me & the kangaroo :
took a cable car ride after that . then, da sao , justin , vanessa and yixuan took the double rock spin. shaomin and me did not take as it was spinning too fast. we were unable to take it. moreover, i haf motion sickness since young so its best not to take that.hahs ! then, the 6 of us went to take rolling x-train. its the highest roller coaster . however, we did haf the feel of "shiokness" . coz the speed was too fast so we can't feel anything. went into a fast food restaurant to find my family after the ride to haf some rest before taking the next one and also, grabbing some bite. hees ~
Sausages ! we love eating sausages. its DELICIOUS over there :
da sao didnt join us after that as she was feeling giddy after the rides . so the five of us went instead. took the eagle's fortress. this ride rox ! then last ride of the day was the pirate ship . whees ~
after everything had ended, it was 3 plus already. had to meet up wid the rest at 330pm. we quickly rushed down to the hp stripe shop for engraving of names as vanessa wants to make one for her fren and herself as well as for shaomin. initially, i was thinking of making for some of my frens too. bud i did not haf cash around me so decided not to in the end. after buying , we took thecable car ride up again. the workers there were so friendly and hyper active. i love their attitude ! they always do the waving as a form of saying welcome. justin got high over it after seeing it and he kept on doing the action which got us all feeling so irritated. hahs !
look at wad the two of them were doing when we were taking out rides. LOL :
cool police car :
bus :
next stop, we went to the city area to do some shopping. managed to buy some stuffs for some ppl.didnt manage to find any for myself coz i can't find any. =( . nvm. there's 3 more days more for me to shop for myself. only had 1hr of shoppin. its pretty rush though . all of us got up to the bus at 630pm and off to had gingseng chicken for dinner. YUMMY ! that's the nicest i had so far. we were supposed to pour the ginseng wine into our soup . however, one cup wasnt enough. so, most of us poured 2-3 cups of ginseng wine into our soup and guess wad ? we eventually got high. almost everyone's face was blushing red. lolls ! then,we went out to bought some souvenirs for my frenz. gonna buy more tibits on the last day for all my peeps!
on our way back in bus, Kenny was surpposed to sing asong for us. however, he lost his voice. so, Romeo took over. he sure love to sing . his singing wasnt bad at all . after singing, he went to disturb vanessa ..calling her "ding dong ". coz me, vanessa and shaomin went to disturb the tourguide's room by pressing the doorbell and we ran away . she was the mastermind. lolls ! then in the end.. instead of vanessa , i got sabo out of no whr !
da sao, kor kor , mom , vanessa, de tiu they all ..
" GERADINE ! SING FOR US ! "
" SHE KNOWS KOREAN SONGS ! "
" SHE CAN SING ! "
i am like "OH SHIT !", "NONO !! "
this Romeo go and pull me up . then everyone started to call my name " GERADINE ! GERADINE ! " claps *.. my mind was in total blank during that time okay ? arghhhhhs ~ all thanks to them. i wasnt prepared for goodness sake. i felt so shock and nervous .
" I DUNNO WAD SONG TO SING !! "
no music somemore to help me out also. =( . mom requested for colours of the wind. which i usually sang during KTV sessions. so i sang halfway& i forgot ! the aunty in front of me encouraged me to sing more.
aunty : "common ! just continue. ur voice is very nice. "
arhhhhhs ~ my mind was in total blank !!! i cant think of any. Romeo then disturbed me ..
he : "you sing . i dance ! "
all of luff . then, they requested for another song. "bogoshida ". stairway to heaven's song. i forgotten the lyrics as well. thanks to romeo. he came to my rescue. i went back to my seat after that feeling so paiseh la ! and went quiet for a moment. oh my tian !
check-in in Lotte hotel . thats the hotel whr they shoot the stairway to heaven drama series . its a 6 stars hotel .. arhhhhhhs ~ so NICE & COMFORTABLE ! xD .
the adults went to casino at nite . while kor kor and da sao came to my room as they were afraid i was feeling too lonely. so sweet of them right ? the rest of the youngsters knock out le .
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DAY 6 :
woke up at 7am for the day. 8am had to report at the lobby. went for breakfast. and off to the palace exibition .
our last grp photo for the trip:
the females under the tree :
the palace was a boring start of the day . most of us weren't realli interested in historical sites. hahs ! on our way out, me and shaomin took a pic .
next, we went to ginseng shop. Zzzzzzz ..
another boring one. bud many of them bought ginseng back. hahs ! my family doesnt love drinking that. so its a waste of money if we were to buy them and not drink it . yeps ! we dun see a point purchasing that afterall. like wad my brother says , " i rather u giving me the cash to buy something else than purchasing the ginseng . "
wads most interesting for the day was the 2nd last trip which we went to whr we learnt how to do kimchi ..
this playful boy wants to take picture. =) :
and got to wore the Korean's traditional costume.
newly-weds :
the both of them thinks they look like "cy-gong" after wearing that . LOL ! :
getting rdy to take solo-pic :
the photographer made all gals did this pose :
3 youngsters serving the lao da ! hahs :
couple shots :
the empress :
family-shot :
me & vanessa :
mom & moii :
all of us disturbed romeo after that to get changed into female dressing. it was so funny. all of us took pic wid him.
this guy go and pull my hat string while leaning on me ! i felt so uncomfortable larhs ! :
wuuUUuu ! he looks so feminine ! hahs .. :
reached Lotte world at 550pm. rested at the hotel forawhile. its realli a wonderful place. too bad that the painting for stairway to heaven was gone. it doesnt haf my idol's photo. i was looking high and low for it . =( . bud saw the merry go round instead. =) .
went out to magical land not long after to catch the fireworks. its so ...AMAZING ! believe it or not, you could realli get to see it up close . its like, WOW ! unlike Singapore.
outiside magical land :
after the fireworks , everyone was running . dunno rushing to whr . me and da sao happily follow them running as well. then we understand that they were running becos they were queueing for the rides. lolls ! went to haunted hse . i tell you. i dun evn understand wad were they talking abt larhs. instead of screaming, we singaporeans were luffing away. lolls ! lame hors ? bud the sound effect was good !
then, we quickly went to queue up for the rollar coaster ride coz it seems damn fun . its so damn true ! its call ALANTIS. it rox ! it sure rox ! bud we felt damn cold after taking the ride so its so fast ! the wind just blew straight to our faces. brrrrr ~ ..
van and yixuan took the bungee jump after that . its kinda similar as the genting's space shot. i didnt took that as i felt real cold. seating that ride makes me worse ! me and da sao were basically enjoying our seasoned rice cake while waiting for them.. mMMmm ~ delicious !
abt 10 plus we entered in the indoor theme park. surpposed to take the rollar coaster ride bud we ended up taking the stupid eygpt historical rocky ride instead. which is like so bo liao ? and then whee ~ to the hot air balloon. we were stuck there in the hot air balloon. and we counted down our new yr inside there. interesting ehhs ? welcoming 2007. wads so funny was that we dun even understand KOREAN's language when they were counting down. all i heard was HAPPY NEW YR ! and we followed "HAPPY NEW YR ! " -_- ".. LOL ! only my family went for hotair balloon. van and the rest did not tagg along. so, we felt pretty bad that we did not do the count down wid them.
though their atmostphere for counting down doesnt realli haf "hyperness" as Singaporeans bud their decorations , performances and fireworks were GREAT ! hees ~ ...
walked back to our own hotel rooms after that. wanted to count down singapore timing initally. however, all of us were dead tired already. so, we decided not to.
after receiving msges from dar, en & jess as well as some of my peeps wishing me happy new yr. i felt so touched and was missing them darn badly especially the 3 of them. i was dying to contact them by calling however i ve to resist myself from doing it as overseas calls were very expensive. just haf to control for another one more day !! ..
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DAY 7 :
woke up at 715am. packed our luggage. as usual, reported at 8am for checking out. was shocked to see Romeo dressing up so formal. so handsome ! hahs. previous day was Kenny dressing smart . its a form of respect to us when they are in city area. that's their culture. was expecting for kenny to dress like romeo too. bud he didnt. guess they took turns ? hahs ! went for breakfast after settling our check-outs. 20 mins ride to the destination. the breakfast for the day was so much better !! china style breakfast . hahs !
we then proceed to the crystal shop after breakfast . bought some gifts for my mom's fren and my aunties. plus one for myself too ! hees ! each cost us$10. so sing is abt $15 bahs.
fashion street was the 2nd stop. yays ! bought myself heels which cost me 20,000 won. had a hard time bargaining till that price lehs. all thanks to my mom. hahs ! from 25,000 -> 20,000. li hai hors ? da sao and me bought the heels from the same shop. then, we saw a belt which cost 60,000 won. its like so EXPENSIVE ! $60 for a belt ? oh my ! things there were not cheap though. too bad thatwe only had 1 hr to shop . otherwise i cld ve boughtmore stuffs for myself. hees !
wholesale tibits store was the final stop b4 heading to the airport. bought lots and lots of it for my peeps ! hees ~!! wanted to buy kimchi for them too as they asked me too. however, the kimchi was damn expensive. 700g for $13 ?? oh my .. and of coz ! i wld not forget for buying things for myself too . wahhs ! 2 boxes to bring back home. =) .
reached airport at 2pm plus . bid GOODBYE to KENNY & ROMEO !
