It's been agesssssss since I've last updated; almost 3 weeks!! It has been a happening cum slacking 3 weeks, hahaa. Of cos, the most happening thing that happened was THE KOREA TRIP!!! WHOOO!! hahaha!

Had lotsa fun there, took many many photos too!! :)) It was so relaxing, just following the tourguide around, not having to worry about anything, except whether we were going to be late! haha talking about that, it's really AMAZING how the other tour members (all around 40 years old and above btw) ALWAYS manage to be faster than us. Even when we are just sightseeing and walking, they always manage to be ahead of us. They will also be there on time or before the stipulated time, and even during toilet breaks, the 5 of us will still be the last. VERY AMAZING. hahaha! I wonder are we just toooooo slow for words, but honestly sometimes we will try to rush abit, but still...... hahaha i still rmb how happy we will be if we realised that we were the first, although eh, it doesnt happen too often LOL.

Oh but, one of the good things i guess that came out of us being sooo slow was that we had a photographer who will look out for us! hahah not that we were intentionally slow okay, not that mean haha. But the photographer was a really really nice person who would watch out for us, and we were saying that he always appeared at the right moments! Every time when we get lost or can't find the rest, "POP" he would appear! He always had this yellow hand with him, that he would wave around to get our attention, so we called him THE HAND. hahaha! I'm not trying to be gaga over him, but he really does have a nice smile, and i guess he was our eye candy for the days with him! haha! too bad he doesn't really understand english, so we couldn't communicate very well with him. But oh well, it was still quite funny cos we'll always switch to broken english to talk to him. hahaha!

Got to know very nice "aunties" and uncle from the tour, they are all so nice to us, and bear with us when we are late! :)) they always take good care of us too, watching out for us, esp aunty jenny and aunty lay choo! The both of them are soo cute tgt, and they always crack us up!! :D And the last two days when THE HAND was no longer with us, they became the ones that watched out for us. Well, it's quite surprising though, that the tour guide would always walk on and on without checking to see if anyone was left behind. She wasn't very professional throughout the trip, not watching out for us, and not giving us very good descriptions of the places that we were visiting. Actually what irked me more was that whenever we were on the bus travelling, she didn't seem to put much efforts into introducing, whether was it Korea as a whole, or just the sight-seeing places. But to a certain extent i was glad of that too, cos I had the chance to sleep and listen to my ipod. Hehehe. I hateeeeeeeee tourguides that go on and on and on and on, and i stil rmb when i went Taiwan, the tourguide even played old old chinese songs DAMN LOUD on the bus when she was not talking, which i really found torturing. Not that I refuse to appreciate, but sometimes it's good to have some personal "mental" space aye. Haha so I guess I didn't feel much dislike towards her, unlike the rest. Honestly, by not letting her affect me, it didn't really affect my holiday mood! :) Actually, i would say i learnt some korean culture from her too! Her life is really really happening! haha!

Life's been boringggg since I've been back, and i CANNOT STAND the weather in spore!! ROARRR!!! freaking warm! Korea's weather was NICE, cold but yet comfortable. No sweat, no stickiness :) and i miss having to wear a jacket!! haha!

I really had alot of fun and laughter and nice memories from this trip! Thanks to the girls! I was at first a little apprehensive, cos I was really scared that we might have some unhappiness here and there. Afterall, it's not really easy to face someone for 8x24 hours a days continuously without any glitches rite? But heheh everything turned out fine! at least to me la uh :)) Somehow i feel that we complement each other to a certain extent, so things went smoothly. And many thanks to the girls for looking out and taking care of each other too! I really miss the carefree times during the trip, and all the random happiness. haha :) Many thanks to THE FOUR OF YOU for making my grad trip so fun and enjoyable!

Other than volunteering to help out a prof with his research, making home visits to children's homes, nothing much interesting in my life now! Haha i will get down to seriously finding a job soooon, but not yet la, i still want to relax!!!! i want more timeeeee! haha :)

alrighty it's getting late! i took superrr long to write this post, cos i keep getting distracted in between! haha.. nites all!! :))
