IM BACK FROM KOREA.
Day one.
(Hung out with Hazirah, Jieen and Serene)
Woke up once my alarm rang and quickly prepared.
Went to the busstop right after that and then we waited for the bus.
thanks mummy and peikai for waking up to send me off! Papa too!
Took the bus to changi and then we waited to check in our luggage. We were so worried that serene wasn't coming! Then we were guessing how heavy
her luggage will be, apparently, lighter then mine. :P
Checked in and stuff and soon (okay, not so soon), we were in KOREA!
got our luggage and met our fatherly tourguide then we made our way to the restaurant, nice food!
After that, we made our way to SUWON.
We checked in and we found our very nice hotel room(:
It was a huge room, with two big beds,
one big toilet that has one jacuzzi tub,
one sauna area and this toilet bowl that can wash your butt!
We went to Homeplus that night to get tidbits (that we eventually didnt eat/finish) and my mum's present.
Ate this really nice waffle that was CRISPY. You dont find crispy waffles that are cheap in singapore do you?
And then Jieen and Serene ate icecream in the RAIN!
Yeap!
Day 2
Didnt had much breakfast cause I felt like puking.
Went to Young Dok after that and we felt like CELEBRITIES. The girls were screaming upon our entrance. (Maybe it was cause of Zal. Hmmm.. ==') Then I met my Buddy! She's called Kim Do-Hee. Great pal! Listened to some long speech and watch slides. Then it was lunch?
After that, it was time for Hanbok wearing!
It was great fun although a lil tight.
That's when I met Clara - Do-hee's Mum. Then we went to make our bags.
Cool bag if you ask me but sorry, no pic. Then it was the concert! I was really amaze at their line up although it was a lil' mellow for me.
Then we danced, I really had fun la, it wasn't like what I had imagine. It was just, FUN. After the concert, we had an official meeting with our buddies and then it was time to go to our buddies' home. We sent Jieen and her buddy home and then made our way to her house. After that, we changed and we went for movies! Went there, wanted to buy tiks for Panelope but the next show was only at 8.30? So Do-hee called her mum and we decided to buy the 6.40 tiks for What happens in Vegas. We then met her mum to pick up her bro and ate dinner. We almost dined at an fancy restaurant but there was only Crabs and Abalone ( the mum wanted to buy me abalone!) but I couldn't eat seafood cause of my ankle. So we went out of the restaurant (it was at homeplus!) to eat sushi.
I ate Salmon sushi cause mummy said I can eat fish. Yum Yum. After that, we went for our movie. My heart was hurting really bad for some reason so I had a very hard time in the cinema, even while drinking my smoothie. Oh, before that, we went to a free teddy bear museum.
Cool place. Um, then after the movie, we took her mum's car home but Do- Hee needed to get her art materials from the bookshop so we went there. So Do-hee and I had an nice walk in the night. After that, we went home and I showered and went to sleep after my medication. The mum was surprised I was gna sleep so early, but it was really because I wanted to sleep away the pain.
Day 3.
Woke up and had a great American breakfast Clara made. Then we set off for school. We were LATE, but thank god no one scolded us. Do- hee went off and then we went to had classroom interection. It was pretty fun la, but it was quite difficult communicating with them.
Cause only two of them were able to speak fluent english like Do-hee. After that, we had Language exchange? We learnt a little bit of Korean and taught the korean pupil how to speak Chinese, or our mother tongue. My buddy was Jo Jang.
She was damn cute la. After that, we met up with out buddy again for farewell. 
Listened to more speeches and it was goodbye. I was so touched when Do-Hee cried. It was really sad leaving though.
(Oh, and some girls were apparently in love with my boyfriend and zijian and started screaming and chasing them la. *rolls eyes 360 degree* *jealous*)
Do Hee and I hugged again before I boarded the bus for the korean folk village.
It was rather boring there cause the tour guide was kinda only speaking to one or two people, so we couldnt really hear and stuff?
Went to the spot where Dae Chang Geum was filmed.
Us : " what'cha looking at?"
All of us bought an Propeller which was DAMN cool la!
Spot the propeller? I/we am Doraemon! Cause Im/we're in blue with an propeller and a pocket infront?
Then we came to a spot that showed Korean's traditional games.
The guys played one to decide who uses the bathtub after that!
Sherman :" is there another use for the sticks?"
Phoebe : "Yiling! you're gna get it when i get up!"
Mr Joong: "I think Im stuck"
As the picture shows, those were methods they use
Then we went to an Horror house and it wasnt scary. In fact, i was laughing at the group cause they kept screaming. xP
Then we went to the Korean Broadcasting System (KBS) Drama Centre.
It was soooooooo cool! The sets were actually so small(and fake) but it could film so well! Took loads of pictures.
Jieen : "Mrs Thong is coming! Pretend you're reading!"
Peixin : "This thing must be ancient..."
Serene to Peixin : " Smile! You only share my throne ONCE!"
Peixin: "Think Jackie chan cant be in korea?"
Serene: " I think you are pretty lousy!"
Peixin : "What?! Lousy? So maybe my shadowless kick is lousy, but take this!"
Serene: "Hahahaha, Amature!"
Peixin :" Im fainting!"
Jieen: *pukes!*
Serene : "I think i lost my backbone"
Aizal: " And this is how you get off an horse"
After that, we went to Homeplus, and we shopped at THEFACESHOP. We bought a lot of stuff and then did facial at night(: Fun to the max!
Day 4
Hwa Seong Fortress.
Cold cold cold!
Our pants were only to knee so we were all shivering! It was so cold!
But the place was really cool. It was built cause the emperor wanted to move the capital city from Seoul to Suwon, but sadly, he died before completing.
Peixin : "Serene! Im strangled!"
And since it was so cold, mist were coming out from our mouth and Serene was so amazed. xP
and then i was irritated. Sorry Serene!
Then we went to... EVERLAND!
