OFF TO KOREA.
Sunday, 24 February 2008
Finally it is time to leave singapore and start afresh in Korea.
It is 5 hours now to my flight.
I am feeling rather excited but yet ..........
feeling very upset leaving my 21 years old home and my 3.5 years boyfriend back in singapore.
It is a mixture of emotions now.
What can i expect of life in korea?
How can i communicate with the locals there?
Can i adapt to the weather there?
Can i still stay awake during those drowning moments?
It is freezing there now. Currently it is 1 degree there.
Coming back from Hongkong last night,i suddenly missed home alot.
Missed my mom's homecooked food, my friends, girls' outings and maybe ever boring NBS,
my dear sister, my dearest bed..
i am leaving with quite a heavy heart.
Really frightened to be in a land in which i don't understand their language at all.
I am really blur on my directions to go. Even housing is not settled there yet.
It really test my survival skills and blabbering skills.
It is a challenge and an exposure.
Give me STRENGTH EVERYONE!!!!
Thanks to all dear friends who are sending me off tonight :) really appreciate it!!
oh yes, if you all wish to call me,
can call me at 31423412 when i am online. Calling charges is based on your local charges here. because the number is a local number. SO no overseas charges.
If not skype me !! :P
Promise pictures of hongkong and beijing and korea when i am settled there first.
Food in hongkong is damn exp la! :X everywhere even the cha chan ting is like 5 to 6 bucks!
I spent a BOMB on eating..
First day was spent with me arriving with super dark eye bags and painful eyes.
No choice but to wear specs! so ugly.
we arrived at 2 pm and spent like half the day exploring and became lost like a lamb.
TSIM SHA TSUI AND MONGKOK was our first stop....
oh shit.
Wanted blog more but i am rushing to eat my dinner before i leave at 8 for my flight!!
lovelovelove.

i hate MEETUPS. really hate it.
it causes so much conflicts and both parties to be v unhappy.
Some people just don't understand i DON'T do meetups at all.
it is ultra not convenient for me and it was clearly stated before every deal.
But some tries to push their luck and pushes fault on me cos i can't meetup.
and tries their luck further by dragging their collection for 3 weeks.
even request me to put in my place for a few months until i come back from korea.
and when i reject their requests, it became MY fault
when in the first place, i gave so many extensions and exceptions for collection already.
If they dunno how to get there.. then don't opt for self collection. ( i gave directions somemore!! )
"cannot make it" becomes a common excuse and a strong reason to push me to meet up with them at their convenience
And most amazing of all, their fault for not turning up becomes my fault for not giving them MORE time.
3 weeks but never could find time to self collect.
and now i become the most guilty person of all for not giving them more time( in terms of MONTHS).
"i tot you were a good seller as mentioned by others" became a tool to threaten me to abide to their requests.
i am super iritated and pissed.
seriously, i feel that i am being BULLIED here.
feel damn WEI QU man.
it is just NOT my day.

next up, we went out to the highly raved victor kitchen for dimsum :)
i sort of found it online and it was supposed to be like SUPER nice.
Victor kitchen had like appeared in a few food program shows and got some awards too.
The main chef is a hongkong guy called victor!
me and baby decided to be super food detectives and try out the food ourselves!
located in such a wulu place and me and boi had a super hard time finding it!
hehe. we took this pic in top shop! :P

The prawn dumplings was quite big.. but then it tasted ok only compared to yumcha.
i dun really like the fact that the dumplings had cracks in them!
and they looked quite wrinkled instead of being FULL.
Divas ratings : 3/5 Divas

Me and baby decided to use emotions to rate our experience at victor kitchen!
ERR. baby expression is like.......... >.< .. actually he wanted to protray neutral!
hehe. as for me.. it is UNSATISFIED!
girls dinners out!
it was the girls dinner out night! :) it was a farewell dinner for our girls before i leave for korea ..
thanks to everyone who turned up that day despite the tight schedule! i love u all!
that is me and my bestie, lin :)
that is my other 2 besties.. peg, fei and huijin :) counting from anti clockwise
we went to this restaurant recommended by my baby sister....
and ordered food that were the size of my hands.
ok .. just use your imgination to see how BIG it was :P
this dish was disgusting! doesn't it reminds you of fresh clams climbing out alive to crawl to that pot as shown in the pic?
when u stare at it closer....
you might find clams staring back at you.
hj wasn't too satisfied with the food :P
.
next, we decided to head to the singapore pools to BET!
hahaha! we decided to buy like 1 dollar lottery..
hoping we can win the million dollar deal with the 5 chiobus luck! :P
camwhoring still at the SP
so happy to have gotten our TICKETS!
Finally we decided that the food wasn't enuff and settled in a prata stall!
i am amazed by the numerous varities that the stall owner can come out with just using prata.
ALOT of camwhoring
while waiting, we did the 4 emotions! XI, NU, AI , LE!
ok, i think i look damn fake. U can see me luffing secretly to myself. HAHA
it was a really fun trip and chitchatting with the girls!!
We decided to go clubbing @ mos the next night!
the 3 babes clubbing! :P
me and lin with the nice scenary
the flashers! :)
i decided that moses lim look rather handsome in the night.... can't resist having a kissss with him!
2 babes around himm.. he sure having a good life!
i think we did a rather cute imitation :P
camwhoring still....
the back poses
the beautiful clarke quay..
the clubbing experience was one in a million! :P
2 guys approached peggy ..
the first one was a ang mo named daniel.. being the bo chap me, i ignored that guy and continued dancing
in truth, i was rather scared of guys approaching me.
Peg took him as a tourist and like continued talking to him
then he started talking to us and i was quite freaked out..
making a excuse of going to toilet, we abandoned him and tot that was the end to our horrrors......
THEN!!! came a stupid and pervetic guy called alvin!
being the streetsmart lin and me and fei, we ignored him again and poor peg was there to handle him!
this guy ah MUST be the expert of jioing girls at club..
he started holding peg waists and held her hand and peg felt super uncomfortable
she tried super hard to wriggle out of his grab and we even PULLED her to us.
and that guy was like PULLED her back. >.<
peg told me he asked her if she wanted dance and she didn't reply..
so he took it as a yes and started "dancing" ( in real terms") molesting peg.
peg being a super POOR thing started mouthing for help!!!!!
we helped by pulling her but to no avail...
in the end.. peg did the bravest thing by saying " sorryi dunwan to dance with you"
and the fudgy ugly guy walked off. MUAHAHHAHHHA.
after dancing abt 50 mins later.. the guy saw us again... and .......
HE TURNED AWAY!!! MUAHHAHAHA . super HUMJI! hahahahhahaha.
seriously, i really admire peg for rejecting the guy even without any clubbing experience..
even i also dun dare to save her !! * claps*
but everytime when i think about her terrified expression.... i feel like laughing!
poor pegpeg was so scared that she swore off clubbing the next time! Preview of beijing pictures!
bejing is a really beautiful place with tons of scenery... but it was SUPER cold..
even at 1 degree, i was like freezing liaox!
we visited cixi palace.. climbed the wan li chang chen , toured many palaces, saw snow,
looked at how people skied under iced rivers, saw many babies with cute faces....
and 2 hours of fireworks like EVERYWHERE during CNY.
just some preview pics! :)
yawn. i am damn tired now! tomorrow is VDAY! :)
baby is bringing me to sentosa and we will be making accessories together.
teehee. Next entry then put up beijing pics!!
