After our breakfast @ Hotel Lobby waiting to check out...

Our Hotel for previous Night, room was so-so... more like a 3 star hotel...

Sun-rise ^^

1st stop to Mount Sorak National Park...

We are early and cable care station was not open for business yet... All of us gather outside to take some pictures, kids was building snowman while waiting for the staff to arrived.

Half of the cable car covered by snow ...

Yay, cable car operating but we have to wait for about 20 minutes for the staff to test and warm up the cable car... Went around to take some photos too~

Inside the cable car, it can fir about 20 pax.

High up at Mount Sorak National Park, 635m.

2nd stop to Sinheungsa (Temple)

The whole place was covered with snow and the walking path was so slippery... I have to hold on tight to hubby if not my butt will be in trouble... Nothing special about this place, 90% of the sight-seeing = s.n.o.w...

Telephone booth attacked by Snow~~

We walked over to Blue Canyon Water Themepark... It's a huge ourdoor and indoor theme park consist of wave pool, flowpool, jacuzzi and various pools facilities include water slides that are 100 and 70 meters long... There's no changing room, no bathroom, all will have to be done openly... Singaporean are not use to use, what we did was we shower with our swimsuit and to changing in the washroom. There's also a jacuzzi area that only women above 18 can enter and you have to enter all naked.

Taken a few shot using our Olympus u-tough, it's suppose to be waterproof but it died on us after about 6 shots... We can see water flooding in the screen... My new camera is gone, luckily I bought 2 camera with us for this trip.

After our swimming session, we are hungry already... went back to the hotel room to to out our stuff and get changed and get ready for dinner. Today is Valentine day and chinese new year, Coco specially order sakae and drinks for all of us, expenses on her.

Day 4 ... 13 Feb 2010

Been very lazy but also busy to update my blog...

Checked out from Jeju Grand Hotel and head over to Jeju international airport for our flight back to Incheon... Today itinerary is only Everland.

Not much pictures taken today...

Our lunch at Burger Cafe, I ordered hot choco for hubby and myself and it's so sweet but luckily I had my thermal flask with me ^^ Added in some hot water :)

Suspended Roller-Coaster was close when we visit, no idea why... I have weak heart, I doubt I have the courage to try it...

Keeping myself warm, it's cold...

After 2hour of bus journey, it's time to stop for all of us to "release" hehe

The carpark is filled with lots of snow...

As we continue our journey, our tour guide told us that in the afternoon they received a call from the hotel informing that we will have to talk for about 30 - 45 mins to the hotel as the road is close due to heavy snow... Good thing is the hotel called back about 2hour later saying they have cleared the snow, the bus can drive up now *phew*

Before that, there's another ASA group, they have to walked up to the hotel but didn't make it as one of the tour mate fell, the road was so slippery... I can totally understand the pain from the fall, I almost fall a few times but luckily hubby is always beside me ^^

It's a little bored today, I would prefer more sight seeing...

It have been raining from Morning till now, time check : 12:47pm.

Korea 12 Feb

While waiting for the rest...

Lunch...

Hubby happily cooking pork~

5th stop, exciting horse riding ^^ Thrilling ride too, one of tour mate got "attacked" by the branches and bleed a little on his nose area... as the horse he is on went to chew the branches at the side instead of following the rest of the horses. The horse that I'm sitting on too, join in the fun, chewing the branches and it's kind of scared me for a bit as I'm worried I might fall but phew... I'm safe.

After we are done with the horse riding hubby told me what he witnessed... He had the most vivid and horrified experience witnessing a horse farting, distance less than 1.5km.. *lol*

It was raining and windy during our horse riding session, coooooold~

6th stop, Jusangjeolli...

In the huge sea-shell~

7th Stop, Teddy Bear Museum. There's only one word to describe Teddy Bear Museum... "cute" They have outdoor teddy bear as well but not as vibrant as indoor, mostly statute and water feature.

Last Stop, NANTA Show... Kind of bored for the 1st 10 minutes that I almost doze off. Overall still ok, abit of laughter here and there.

Tiring day but happy ^^

Korea Trip 10 & 11 Feb - Day 1

10 Feb 2010

Hubby and I arrived T2 at about 5.10pm to avoid the heavy traffic during peak hours. There's still a long way to go and we walked around and decided to settle down at level 2 Sakae Sushi and to my sway-ness, the staff spilled some sauce on my adidas black bag, cloth materials *faint* She apologize once and passed me some wet tissue and that's it... Bag stinks so badly, sourly smell and hubby have to head over to the washroom and wash it with hand-soap for me and we had a hard time drying it.

We checked in at about 930pm and went to shop around but didn't get anything, head over to the check in gate and rot there and there's a announcement saying that flight will be delay, reason being due to Singapore approval thingy, anyway we finally board the plane after 30 minutes later and guess what, air-con was down -_-" How lucky are we...?

Good thing is, we was given window seats^^, dinner was serve shortly, sticky seafood fried rice, so-so. Flight entertainment show wasn't that interesting if compare with SIA. I decided to sleep instead ^^ Sleep is for a better stamina for Korea *lol*

11 Feb 2010

Plane landed at Incheon Airport at about Singapore time 6am+ and look out the window and it was snowing =D Finally get to see snow live! *happy*

Breakfast at Incheon Macdonald, paid by ASA. Coffee not ready yet as explained by Coco, our tour guide... Coffee will take a longer time for them to get ready, no idea why... Anyway, their coffee look like drain water and it's taste-less. We decided to ordered and paid for our cappuccino instead, it tasted different too but at least it's better and it's more for human... hehe

Done with our breakfast and waiting for the rest to be ready~

Bus is here and it's snowing, can you see the snow?

Our first stop, Daejanggeum Theme Park, filming site of drama series "Daejanggeum".

Shinchon Fashion Street, Lim's~

Lunch, Korean Ginseng with abalone, love this ^^

Blogspot is driving me crazy, it's so hard for me to arrange the pictures now... Sigh

Arrival @ Jeju International Airport... It's a 50 minutes journey from Incheon to Jeju~

Flight Transit, love this part :P

Yongduam Rock (Dragon Head Rock) - An unusual lava formation in the shape of a screaming dragon with its body submerged in the sea...

Dinner time! Sashmi buffet, pretty good but we didn't like raw food... What we did was, cook it ^^ There are also a few brave people in the tour group, eating live octopus leg... What they have to do is...

1. Open your mouth

2. Chef will choose 1 of the octopus leg and you have to bite it

3. Chef will cut the selected octopus leg and u got to chew it

Asked one of the tour mate what is the feeling like and he said "it's moving, quite itchy" -___-"

Checked in to the hotel at about 10:00pm +, SG time is about 9:00pm +...

Vietnam coffee

Vietnam coffee @ Liang Court.

PJ suggested for coffee at one of the cafe in Liang court that sell Vietnam coffee, I'm curious so I decided to give it a try and that is my first and the last... *lol*

Updates - Feb

Getting lazier to blog nowadays... Luckily there's a APP for blogspot ^^

Hubby help me with the laundry yesterday and he forgot to keep the clothing in while he came to pick me up from work and guess what... I will have to send the clothing for washing again as the clothing was soak with rain... "how nice" :(

Anyway, before that Hubby bought me to vivocity and wanting to catch a movie but there isn't any nice show that interest us so we went shopping instead^^

We had our dinner at B1 Kopitiam and seriously all the food there is really crappy, the best food court that I love so far is Raffles City Shopping Centre lvl 3 foodcourt...

We proceed to TANG after our dinner as we are lookin for a white long sleeve shirt for Hubby, for his confirmation this Sunday as his current white long sleeve is stained with ink, he tried to soak it in bleach but it just doesn't help but it works for my white dress...

Found some idea design and asked for the salesgirl help and she is so reluctant to help, when I asked for another size she gave me the "what the hell look" and that kind of "scanning" eyes looking at me from head to toe... Argh. While waiting for huuby to try it on I overheard the salesman ans salesgirl conversation.... Actually not overheard, they are standing so close to me and naturally I can hear clearly what they are talking about even when they are whispering, maybe I'm transparent to them...

Salesgirl: so how, he got buy anot?!
Salesman: at first he said yes, den later said no, den later said look around and at last he doesn't want it... *sigh*
Salesgirl: aiyah, alot of people like that one, flicker minded, try try liao don't want...
Me: execuse me, can I have size 16 for this and she is very unwilling to help...

Anyway, didn't buy from TANG as the size we wanted is out of stock.

Manage to purchase 2 long sleeves and 1 sweater for Hubby @ G2000. There's a so call promotion for those who are born in the Tiger year, spent $88 and you can be G2000 prestige member instead of the regular $200 and it takes 4 weeks for them to process the application, it's a card-less membership... *slow*

Been busy with shopping this week, for our winter gear and I guess we are done with the shopping and now, waiting to exchange some US and WON... The rate is pretty bad now :(

Some snacks from Florent, it's quite a popular snack from France, almond topping, a little too sweet for me by it's kind of crispy to chew...





It's our confirmation tomorrow, 7 Feb 2010 and 4 days to our Korea trip ^^

Tiring Sunday

Attended 11:15am service and took our lunch at SAC and started to rot around Raffles City S.C while waiting for Mummy to reach City Hall.

Mummy reached City Hall at about 1:30pm and we head over to Taka for our "winter" shopping trip and ended up there's no winter wear at Taka :( We shop for abit and head over to Chinatown... While on our way to Chinatown, we asked Mummy is there any country that she wish to go and her answer is "I don't know" ....

It's a bloody warm day and in and out of air-conditionier place = "nua-nua". I saw 1 pretty nice boot and I'm sooo going to get it, it's only S$40 but... out of stock *argh* Din manage to get anything today *sigh* Bought some "hai sheng" for Mummy and wow, 4 freaking small "hai sheng" S$137.00... Eat it and poo out *lol* Anyway, she happy = I happy :)

Dinner time @ Yum Cha, it's Mummy first time there, am glad she likes it. I wana recommend Yum Cha signature hor-fun, S$12 for small serving and it's enough for 3 pax, we ordered some other dim sum as well, finally get to rest for abit. Mummy is still very energetic, I'm getting old already... Hubby leg is breaking too. It's been such a long time since we shop this long hours.

We bid goodbye to Chinatown and time to go home, thinking of having a cooling shower and to rot on my bed and hubby by my side ^^
