hello !
i dont have much time but ill write as much as possible .
just to say whats been going on the past 2 weeks of june hols ,
we had the bbq at my house and celebrated maggots sims birthday . details at her blog . oh and i contributed my curly mass of confusion to the class painting which despite looking like a nursery wall , its extremely adorable and bright and lively and well maybe gay (which is HAPPY ! ) but i love it .
smple dimple and sweet schweet .
anw , gonna spend 10 days in daejon ,korea which is 3 hours from seoul, my mums hometown .
reached there on saturday .
the weather is awesome with a capital A .
its around 15 degrees and you can feel the sun's warmth too so its great .
for me at least .
but somehow my skin is not adjusting too well here . maybe its also cos of all the spicy food im eating .
they are feeding me lots ! they adore me . ok please dont vomit but they really pamper me which makes me feel uncomfortable sometimes and its been two days only . but other than that its great . they are really nice ;D
there's jaimee who's 17 and annie who's 19 . they both speak really good english with slang .
what does that make me ? haha
and the mum , i call her yi-mo , which is aunt in korean , she is really nice too .
and yi-mobu , the uncle , who is obsessed w chinese and talks to me in chinese .
there's a grandpa and grandma too whom i hardly get to see .
i first arrived at incheon airport at 5 in the morning local time .
the flight was ok , no turbulence , great . touchdown smooth . the man sitting beside me on the plane slept mostly which meant i had to endure the snoring . couldnt sleep . uncomfortable but i did get to watch sunrise . it was beautiful .
oh and sunrise is around 4 in the morning here . ha
time difference with sg is 1 hr . sg is one hr behind only so i dont have problems adjusting to my sleep modes . not that i actually slept much during the nights in sg anws . *laughs*
anw i had problems finding my luggage . crap and i took a damn long time to find the belt . my sister's god ma and god pa came to fetch me .
i still remember them clearly .
but their sons are in aust and NZ now so i couldnt see them .
they said i grew fatter . oh well , no escaping from the truth , i am BIG now .
went to their house to sleep for 3 hours and was wondering what everyone in sg were doing . called my mum , and she said my sis cried . mhm i guess i miss her too .
tried sending some msgs to friends but all barred . system in korea and jap is different i learned so i guess i cant make calls . sad but nvm .
went out for lunch with an old childhood friend after that . her name's so-sin . i forgot all about her but yi-mo says i used to play with her when i stayed in korea for 3 months when i was 6 .
took a train at around 4 , local time . it was a 3 hour journey . i was supposed to stop at busan and stay at another yi-mo's house for a day if i was tired but i decided to go all the way to daejon .
the train ride was ok but i was extremely tired . i dont know why i just sat on the plane , sat on the train but doing that can really drain all your energy away .
reached daejon around 8 ish local time .
jaimee and the other yi-mo , her mum , picked me and we went to an eating house to eat bbq pork and i met yimo-bu there and some of their family friends .
we slept late that night .
rented two movies and watched until it was around 3 in the morning .
slept like a baby this time .
sunday ,
we had breakfast .
we eat rice for breakfast here . oh i am so gonna grow fat .
anw , had tea after that , must always have tea , they explained .
to cleanse your system . mhmm
buckwheat , barley blargh .
then yimo-bu said it was a daily ritual to play badminton in the woods .
so we went to the woods where there are pine trees and you can see magpies , and we played badminton and had a picnic and some other friends and cousins came along . made new friends and what a relief , they more or less could speak english .
we stayed thr from 11 till 3 plus and reached home at 4 .
washed up and went out shopping where yi-mo tried to buy stuff for me and i kept declining . you have to show your manners and be polite you know .
but in the end you just bashfully accept and ok she will buy it for you .
she's really nice .
went for dinner at a family friend's house .
ate a lot . jesus , at this rate im gonna blow up real bad .
even playing badminton daily wont help .
went home at around 11 .
slept immediately .
dreamt about sherlyn , nicholas , qi zhi , ernest and joanna that night .
told ya i was missing you guys , so much until my mind cant rest and you guys haunt me in my dreams !
woke up at 10 today . going out at about 3 and wont be back until 7 ish cos jaimee teaches english at a language school . so im gonna go there and maybe help her out ? we are teaching primary school kids btw . i love working with kids but i think its gonna be difficult too .
jaimee says i gotta be prepared .
and joanna , she is crazy over bigbang and boys over flowers too .
transformers is out early here , dont know if she will bring me to watch it but ill watch it again with you guys even if i watch it here .
i just hope drag me to hell isnt gone by the time im back .
P.S. they eat a lot of octopus here maggot and joanna . i'd bring back some if i could . but you know ill never do such a thing . its so damn gross ! all squiggly and squirming .
last but not least , i just remembered , all the best bryan , ernest , nick & jeng for WKW . break a leg ! ;D
