Sophie (24 dec)
we went to collect Wewe (chinchilla) frm where he was boarding. kinda like a pet shop where dogs were sold. somehow we ended up looking at the puppies.. still dont know y mom allowed us to get a dog, after all these years lol. anyway. we didnt want a big dog. we didnt want a dog tt required grooming = english cocker spaniel. there was this one puppy that was sitting up n kept staring at us. the rest were really active! we werent allowed to touch it cos they wanted to prevent spread of viruses n stuff.so he was on the floor, in a pen. later he put another puppy in. much more active,was bullying sophie -_-. choose sophie cos didnt want an active puupy. and we already set our eyes on her anyway =D
she WAS the most docile n sweetest puppy. she fell asleep on my lap. she would wake up, change position n sleep again.. awww..... as the days pass.. we learn she is a very frisky active puppy that like to playfully bite ppl (irritating k!) lol.. yeah. bathed her today =) at least she's toilet trained! mus really send her for obedience class next time..
korea (17/18-22/23 dec)
left on 17dec night. RAFFLES CLASS seats when we paid for ECONOMY ones! =D haha. mom's the best. cos she had inside news that the raffles class seats were empty n with a friend's help, got them. damn, it's comfy. 1.5 times bigger den economy seats. u can actually stretch out your legs n not touch the seat infront. the seat v adjustable! lol. like a massage chair. anyway. the best part of the whole night: Stars. gosh. jus looked out n the scene took my breath away. i looked out straigh ahead n there were uncountable stars! like, jus straight ahead! dont think one cld see stars like that unless on a plane.. i watched Love Actually again.watching it for the 2nd time, i think it's really a good movie with cute stories =D..
18th:
arrived on the 18th. went for this spa thingy. we lay in this "sand" filled "swimming pool". it's black volcanic stuff.. around 3 beads can fit a 20cents coin? they buried us in it. it was heated.. the sand was really heavy. n it got really hot!
next we headed to this swimming pool place. it's water frm a mineral spring. guys n gals seperated. why? cos. everybody's butt-naked! wahaha. old. young. never seen so many naked bods in one place! haha.. n so many different varieites.. of.. erm. yeah. haha. we werent naked thou. we went upstairs to this outdoor jacuzzi thingy. however, had to change in the locker rooms. personally i wasnt really embarass or shy cos. it's normal there. nobody's gonna care about you. everywhere oso naked ppl what. u where even more ppl stare haha.. bet they thinking "who these foriengers think they are? their body v special n sarced meh? what do they have that we dont? -_- " haha. anyway. the outdoor jacuzzi was nice! when we felt too warm, we sat outside for a while. mind you, it's winter! haha. when u sit out, it looks like u're steaming! honestly, "smoke"'s coming outta u! Jackjack! lol
next we headed to mt. daedunsan. took cable up till quite high and climbed the rest. well. the climbing was actually - stairs. lol. yeah. u know what was surprising?! alot of old folks were climbing! really fit. didnt go much that day anymore
19:
we headed to Everland! it's a theme park. it was so so christmasy! the very image of christmas. the carols. the v decorated lil carts. went on some rides. saw some animals eg polar bear, white tiger, etc. and. mating penguins! haha.
one more memorable theme ride was "safari land". boy the queue is unbelieveable! like.. prolly have to wait 3/4 hrs?! luckily our tour guide somehow managed to get us in w/o queuing! mode of transport: excursion buses. they come real close. they roam free. first time seeing animals so upclose. there was a liger- a lion crossed with a tiger so u get a lioness with faint tiger strips. here was oso one with leapard print. (i read up online n learnt the cubs have to live together from young before they'll mate. and the mothers get upset/stress/bewildered over their cub's behavier. eg lions dont like water, niether do they climb tree but these cross-species cubs do). the bears were trained. some clapped. some stands up. some did hi-5 with the driver! one bear did "ah-me-tou-fo" (put paws together n "pray"). cool.
when on 2 rollar coaster rides. AH. so thrilling! zoomin at breakneck speed! =D woohoo. had to quite about 40mins? on the way out, we met a celebrity. didnt know who he is buy he was prolly a presenter of sorts. anyone know him?
haha. my bro had this hat thingy one n when he removed it, his hair was kinda styled lol!
after that, we headed to pheonix park. a ski park where autumn in my heart/endless love was filmed (well. some parts).it was quite late when we arrived. went down to take a look. first time seeing snow.. wasnt exactly thrilled thou cos firstly it was falling(all on the ground already). 2ndly, it was artifical lol. still be were pretty excted! haha.. we scraping ice n compacting them into snowballs to whack each other with. oh yeah. in pheonix park (or as our guide pronounced it "fi-nix-xi pa-ku") where arent beds. sleep on then mattress on the floor.. floor's heated btw.
20th:
went to see taixi's apartment. it was quite a surreal experience for me cos i did watch the series. it's actually for rent..u pay a bomb thou =) yes, his boat is suspended in the hall. i always thought his apartment looked spendid. boy it was.
next we took gondola (they call cable cars gondola in korea. dont know y) t the top of the mountain. no, it wasnt jus a tiny tip lol it was quite a big area!yeah.. abit smaller den our parade sq. did slieghing.. tiny slope. it was a warmup for what we wld be doing later haha. boy mom's heavy! i offered to pull her around (and regretted) lol.. fun thou. was throwing snow at each other (somehow cldnt compact it into a snowball) there was aroun 3/4/5 steps covered with snow, makin it a tiny slope but heck, it was enought =D at first we jus sat on the sliegh but after a while, we lay on it =D haha a kid stood on it! kinda like snowboarding
