woohoOo! bACk from kOrea. wah.. I am so damn lazy to blOg sia. hahaZ. So I shall type a brief.. a really REALLY brief entry on my trip to kORea. heeez.

OverAll, the trip was considered quite fun, though this year very VERy special.. NO SNOW! grrr.. ! hahahZ. Its okie la.. i guess.. hehez.. coz I have seen snowing in SwitzerlAnd before.. so it doesen matter much to me.. but my mom really wants to see snowing. sighz.

ThoUgh no snow.. or shud I say.. noT muCh snoW...it is still icy cold. A blustry wintry weather it is.. I can say. The frigid wind.. really made ones face feel like a glass pane... very fragile. I think my face literally became numb after walking on the streets for an hr or so. hahaz.

wahahhaZ. bEing an ardent lover of pine cones.. I collected many that were found on the roads and grounds. hehez. Pine conEs are cUte and delicate! So far I have collected one whole bag of it.. so happy! gonNa dip them in golD paint... hahaZ. and decoR my hOUse with it! heeez.

beIng abLe to see the breath-taking scenery in kOrea is already a munificent giFt. The few places that we went to were MounT Sorak, Sangsooherbs, Waterpia, Skii reSort, Yongjin EverlAnd, Dongdaemun, Inchon, Nami iSland (Winter Sonata), a museum, a traditional koRean palace.. and of coz, famouS shoppIng arEAs.

mOunt soRak is a magnificent place. It is basically a mountain.. a tall one... with many many rocks and stones. We climbed it.. and reached the summit after a laborious climb. Its so cool... but I dare U to look down after u reach the summit.. I think U will faint sia.. hahaZ. iTs nOt enclosed with fences or wad... if u were to fall.. den sayoNAra! so tat part was kinda scary.

Sangsooherbs.. a nice place to me.. hahaZ. coz basically, as its name suggests, it is a place where many herbs are grown and nurtured. There are a few bonsai plants over there... the oldest one is bout 1000 yrs olD. heheZ. nICe plant. too bad.. i have no idea how to uploAd pICs.. if nOt.. i wouLd have uploadEd so many piCs for u ppl to admire.. oh ya.. the highliGht of the day was that we ate our lunch there... Flower Rice. hahaZ> oki.. its not exactly called flOwer rice la.. buT its a speciality in that farm and also in kOrea. it is made up of a bowl of rice.. (dUh...), five flowers of different colors(like rainbOw sia), a soUp tat tastE lIke misO soUp and anOTher soUp thingy... plus shreds of chicken and cuttlefish and RAW bean sprouts and dunnoe wad other veggie is there. hahaz. It tasted quite delicious.. BUT... U would definitely get to taste the RaW veggie.. whICh is kiNda disgusting.. hahaZ. i onLi ate one flower... coz they are toO beautiful to be eaten.. ( okie.. tats crap... i dun really dare to eat. haahZ. )

waH.. so angry sia.. I went to the skii resOrt.. I met up with a small accident.. tat caused my chin to be disfigured and almost caused my poor legs to be sprAined! This was wad happened... onCe upOn a time.. Joan, a greehoRn in skiiing, wanted to get the skii thingy outta her skii shoe. ( okie.. i dunnoe wad is the exact name of it.. hahaZ)Suddenly, a middle aged woman 'skiied' towards her... Joan waNted to 'savE' her from fallIng.. bUT apparently, she could not.. She held on to her.. so as to prevent her from falliNg.. but of coz to no avail. So the end result was... the woman fell backwards and HIT my CHIN and MOUTH that caused excessive bleeding.. and of coz.. a small SCAR.... I swoRe I thoUght one of my teeth fell off. hahaZ. So, I fell forward, with my bare hands on the icy ground, with my poor legs spread in an 'awesome' way that would really cause u to sprain ur anklE if u were not careful. So i was in a 'precarious' state and yelped for hElp. finally, three kind woman 'pIckeD' me uP from the grounD... while the woman went off so much earlier on.. withOUt even saying a worD soRRy..!!!!! Tat was indeed horrible!

after skiing... (okie.. i managed to learn smth.. haahz.. so now i am half way there!) we went to waterpia. hm... iTs quite a cool place? hahaZ. Its just like wiLd wIld wet la.. but maybe not as fun...it consists of an indoor and outdoor pools.. the outdoor one.. requires u to WALK in ur swimming costume in the ICY COLD weather.. iF i was not wrong.. the temperature was around.. ermX... zEro degRee ceLcius? okie.. the HighligHt of the thiNg was.. We ( the gals and woman in the tour gp) were shOcked when we walked into the woman's showering and changing area... OMG LOR! SO MANY WOMEN WERE TOTALLY NAKED!!!!! The humAn bOdy is so.... (yUCky) sia..hahaZ.. somE were even sitting down on the carpetted floor, having a picnic? hahaZ. And all of a sudden.. an old man jsut barged in into the room loR!!! ahhaZ. biaN tAI! of cOz.. all of us.. escaped the clutches of being naked like the others.. ( u threaten me with a kniFe.. i also wont walk around naked lor.. though its ALL WOMEN.)

heeez.. i love the evErland!! heheZ. It is suCh a nICe place.. so sweet and dreamY. hahaZ. There is a Safari world there.. where the animals are free to roam. heeZ. so we were on a bus.. with the animals like tigers, lions, big black bears and etc etc roaming around... woohoo.. there is one special breed there.. call Liger... heheZ. iTs a cross breed between tiger and lion. damn CUTE!!!! Sehr hübSch! I totally lovE the lOok of it sia! heheZ. It has got spots on its hind body while the rest of the body was covered with strips.. it is orangey brown.. damn ke ai! hahaZ. the animals there all very big and burly. esp the bears.. the big black bears! hahaZ. feel like petting it.. but i tink... its impossible la. hahaz. and ya.. there is a petting section in the everland. heeez. i love it man! hahaZ. I saw twO pInk pigs and two cows. omG!! i finally get to see a coW tat s black and white in coloR! hahahZ. aS in.. the kind that u alweez see on milk carton. =Pp The pigs.. so cute!!! pink pink one.. wanted to take a pic of its face lor.. den the stupid cow at the corner very fierce.. din want to let it pass... so in the end.. i onli get to take the pic of its bUtt. hahaZ. i managed to pet a sheep... wahahZ. a wolly sheep.. SO CUTE! so fat lor! wool all entangled up.. hahaz. was trying to take a pic with it... dne it kept walking... (naughty sheep) hahaZ.
