May 30th - June 7th

May 30th, Monday

supposed to meet professor at 1130
and it's cancelled because professor is busy
had Special 딱볶이 for lunch again
then helped soh yee to buy her train ticket and air baggage with my credit card very last minutes
and at least she's off and reached msia safely

spent my day clearing my my internship works
and started packing the souvenirs
i.e. removing casing to avoid the customs

at night was celebrating Yap's Bday in one of the chicken shop
it was really funny that
Ah Yap was the one ordered the food and he ask the waiter
"excuse me, today is my bday, is there anything free for me" (in korean)
when i heard it, i was like WTF and really LMAO
this is really my 1st time seeing this
normally people were only joking but didn't act
so what he got was a bottle of cola

shirly was here a bit late
so we were eating chicken with 2 bottles and 2 jugs of beer
been laughing at the rumors relationship there a lot LOL


May 31st, Tuesday

finally went to meet professor and had most of our thing done
except the evaluation form as he wanted to type with computer
and we supposed to have a nice farewell lunch
since there's some miscommunication in between
the lunch was changed to lunch in campus again
it's at the top floor of the new millennium building

+ there's final exam for our tuesday korean class
it's a bit difficult at Part A as we don't even understand what does it means
but the rest was simple

then we Xiang invited everyone in our class for farewell dinner tomorrow night
and everybody agreed and we're looking forward to it

were planning on the trip back to Seoul that night
but we always made no decision at the end
+ we missed the period for 30% KTX tickets discount


June 1st, Wednesday

supposed to meet professor but he's not in the office
and we planned to get the KTX tickets back to Seoul today
as we're going to get the cheaper tickets
but the professor didn't appeared and we didn't know what to do
so we reached our supervisor through gtalk

he said that he was home and asked us to wait for his reply
but we need to get our KTX tickets so we asked him again
then he said, leave him alone
he totally scared us...
and we don't dare to ask anymore
then we waited and finally he said that he'll be here soon
but it's kinda too late for us to get the tickets
so we just met him and get photographs with him

it's the farewell BBQ buffet
gathered everyone including Sornia who's been away from classes
+ Suzanna, a vegetarian also joining
(some of the girls)
but there's only Yap who was not from our Korean class
Sornia was walking slow as her legs weren't recovered yet
so we went to the same buffet BBQ we went last time
separated into 2 tables
and enjoyed ourselves

then all of us went crazy because of the Soju
everybody was drinking except some who doesn't drink
+ we meet new friends from there
Koreans who's undergoing final year in Japanese
SeulBee, GunTae, TaeYun & Kim2

we were making a lot of noises and taking photographs all over the places
even the boss also asked us to sit down but we didn't follow
when the dinner was ended
we spent a lot of time chatting outside of the restaurant
till we met Max and some of the people even left

2nd round was...
Karaoke
we supposed to sing for only an hour,
so we added another hour
but it was kinda too long for us
till we were running out of song to sing
i sang the most i guess
as nobody were choosing any songs
+ most of the people were tired
that's the end of another days


June 2nd, Thursday

time to planned for everything after Busan
so i was busying getting the brochures i want
and filtering them again and again
so i spent most of my days doing this

after korean class
most of the people went to Suzanna's friend's house for fun
while i went back to continue my planning
until i got summoned by Youngsil for drinking
but i need to wait for Xiang and CJ who haven't came back yet

we went down till they're back
went to some drinking restaurant with new people for me
it's Nekyeong and Amran
a korean graduated senior and a another indian senior
drank quite a lot cuz Youngsil told them that we are good in drinking
but we're not even a half if compare to them...
i'm really glad that they invited us out
we've learnt a lot from them in the culture of korean drinking

then 2nd round was the fruit soju again
they ordered so many till we couldn't finished that jug of beer
that's the end of our day again as everybody was tired


June 3rd, Friday

I don't really remember what did i do that day
maybe packing my luggage or whatsoever
but i remember the events since evening

went for sports with the people yesterday night
suppose to go for soccer but the field is occupied
so just had some casual sport and i was jogging for a while
left around 545 as there's appointment tonight
dinner with the girl they met yesterday
it was Rim and Yon
there's both Suzanna's coursemates

starting with McD then we went to Sarasake
a japanese theme drinking house
that we can't made lot of noises
drinking there for quite a long time
and learning korean
then we went to Karaoke AGAIN
this time...
we only pay for an hour
but we got another 2 hours extra
+ discount coupon we got from Sarasake
that's the end of the other drinking day

learnt something new from them
why do you think Korean are so tall
there's a reason behind it
it is because they do believe that
man below 180cm is a loser
so they grow so tall because they don't wanna be a loser
but i'm 5cm away from being the winner...


TODAY
is the official day of the ending of our internship
as coming monday is a holiday
and we'll be leaving on tuesday morning
HURRAYYYYYY


June 4th, Saturday

went for Korean final exam for thursday class
the spelling was the same, tough
but the rest was okay
took pictures with our teachers after the exam

then we rushed to the Sand Festival in Haeundae Beach
it's really far and we missed the parade as written in the schedule
the 1st thing we did was
queuing up...
for free cup of beer
+ lucky draw for soju
there was a walking soju keep bullying me
as he thought that i was japanese....
but so sorry, i'm not

then we saw the parade while queuing up
we rushed to it after that
and we managed to watched the 2nd half of it
but we saw the 1st half returning from the other direction

after that
head to the beach
there's full of sand sculptures
some was really nice and some were sort of common
but of course, even it's common, i can't create it
instead of sand festival
the dancing festival was hold together

then Lotteria for dinner (very crowded)
and casino
sad to say that
our air ticket is not exchangable to token as written in the magazine
it only applied to some of the international tickets
spent 1,500 won on slot machine
then went to the beach again for fireworks

while enjoying the night scenery
a couple of Americans approached us to join the game they're playing
i didn't join the rest for the game as i wanna enjoy the night peacefully
then the lady went away from the game and talked with us
she was saying how good is Christian and how bad are the rest
for me...
i don't really give a damn bout all this
as this is depends on people own believe
when the Muslim egyptian started to fight with her
i hinted to Yvonne to get us out from here
as she's free from both the chat and game LOL

then we managed to escape and went to walk around till the beach concert
spent a moment there and went back
the night won't end this young
plan for that night was last drinking session in dorm

we were separated into groups to get the chicken, beer and clean up
then we gathered in Ken's room for the 1st time and started eating the very good smelling chicken
we kept eating non-stop and it's not even enough

today is a bit special as Jing suggested ghost story telling
and of course he had the best stories among the rest
Yap's was okay at the climax but the ending was making everything a joke instead
then Xiang's was straightforward to the point and not scared at all LOL
the night ended earlier as we want to go for last shopping in Busan tomorrow

oh...
my specs was dead on this night
don't really know how but it just broke
so i can only wear contact lens before i get a new pair
this is the only spec i wear till broke instead of losing it


June 5th, 2011 (Sunday)

woke up very early for Seomyeon
1st was hmmm...
had a hair cut in Bin, a saloon
not bad and it's only 8,000won (~RM23)
the problem is that they don't understand english
cuz i wanted them to design my hair...

then been walking around to get the last souvenirs we need
from shoes shop to the newly opened Apple's store, freebies
to Spao and i ended up with a blue long sleeves collar shirt
it makes me look smart in it LOL (that's why i bought it)
then to cosmetic shop to get a lot of facial masks
Lunch was the Jajangmyeon we ate before
this time we got more that's the Mandu

then was waiting for Youngsil to go to the theme park in Gwangan
CongJie were trying to runaway while the train arrived
but don't know why he came out again and ended up
he carried our bags back LOL

we met Youngsil in the subway with Fahim
then Youngsil went out of the train to throw her rubbish and she missed the ride LOL
so we met her at the destination after that
and walked to the theme park passed by the Gwangali Beach

what we really wanna play there?
the Disco Jump again LOL
same price as the one in Seoul
but not that excited as we were not bounced a lot of times
it still made our hand pained like before
then they played bumper car
some of us didn't join as there's only 5

after that we went to dinner at some restaurant nearby
it's restaurant that serve raw fishes
freshly sliced and everything is raw
so i loved them a lot as i like sashimi
+ moving octopus tentacles
these tentacles were more active than those i ate before
taste? hmmm... around the same but the texture was somehow better

then Senior Nekkeong came with his gf
so we drink beer and chit-chat again
after a while we went to Seomyeon with CongJie and Yap along
to drink Beer that's tasted like coffee
for me i didn't taste any coffee in it
but the rest said that it's only a bit
it's because we went to the different shop that we're supposed to go
that shop moved already

then we went to arcade with the balance we got from the dinner
after minus the drink
the arcade we went were kinda big
but i didn't really know what to play
ended up walking around a lot
played initial D & shooting game
went back to Naengjong for another round
as we're afraid that we might missed the last train
ken and yap went back and didn't joined us

what we went for the night was
the 1st chicken shop we went with professor
this was the last time we drink with them
we drank a lot that day
+ yvonne and Xiang too
that was the 1st time yvonne drank this much
and she was definitely drunk
cuz she wanted to drink more

that night we learned on how to mix somek in glass with tissue to cover LOL
of cuz we had fun that night too
we, the malaysian juniors share for the meal + drink
as they treated us a lot days before
that's the end of our 2nd last night in Busan

i heard that Yvonne vomited right after she got into her room
at least Youngsil, Shirly, Xiang and Dongwoo's drive back
else i'm sure she can't get back already


June 6th, 2011 (Monday)
Last Day in Busan

woke up early in the morning again due to the alcohol...
luggage packing again in the morning
and went to HomePlus in the afternoon
was planned to eat the very famous cold noodle in busan
but the queue was so freaking long
i wanted to go back to eat but forgot
i'm really regretted for missing that cold noodle
ended up in HomePlus food court that's taste not bad also

shouldn't be buying anything but bought something as well
most of them are soju... gifts for friends
then took taxi back and continue packing my luggage
when it's around time
summoned by Xiang for the party later

it's the drinking session with the people we met in the buffet session
they're seulbee, guntae and taeyun
+ our classmates, pola, suzanna, haruka and youko
and the rest of us
so where did we go
the place we drank bamboo wine last time
(above sarasake)

guntae and taeyun can speak english well
but seulbee can speak mandarin well
the only thing was...
all of them are major in japanese
so i was sort of the translator for some games

played a lot of games
and took a lotsa photos with them
was only planned to drink makkoli and beer
but didn't know how we ended up with
2 pots of makkoli
5+ bottles of beer &
10+ bottles of soju
we were like OMG...

in the middle of the session
ken came with others malaysian seniors
that we're supposed to have dinner together
but since it's kinda last minutes and not confirmed
so we ended up here
we were supposed to drink with them
but all of us were mad in the game
i'm very sorry for that...

after that we went to mini mart as they wanted to eat ice-cream
then we went to McD to get some foods
and that's the end of our night
we were really having a lots of fun with them
although it's kinda short period we met them

back to the room and finished my final packing
and went to bed
ZhengJing was still packing but i wonder till when


June 7th, 2011 (Tuesday)

woke up early in the morning
and kinda late cuz need to clear up the balance
such as bed sheet and the cloth i was wearing
was considered late compare to the other

Thanks to Shirly, Gamy, Suzanna and Pola
for waking up so early to send us off
it's really goodbye for us
and i hope that we can meet each other again

Destination 5.2.13 : Last week of Intern


May 23rd - 29th

For work in internship
done with final touch on the project and
finished my final report in the week
was really tiring as didn't know what to write
at least everything is considered on sunday
coming week will be holiday mood for 2.5 weeks


May 24th, Tuesday, a raining day

went to post office to get my stuff shipped back to msia
since zinc wanna ship his stuff back
so i also got mine share with him
what we wanna ship was bunch of cloths
but they consumed too many spaces (air within)
spent almost an hour packing them into a very small box
because it's the biggest box to for sea delivery
was trying to squeeze all the air out
and taped the box to as small possible
spent a lot of free tape provided in the post office
just nice almost 19kg and 38,000 won
will wait for Zinc to deliver my stuff to me when he's coming to KL next time
their post office is really convenient
as everything needed like tape, boxes, specs are all readied for you to grabbed on your own
and even pay on your own (without the assistant of the people there)


May 25th, Wednesday

received my delivery from gmarket
purchased 3 surfing pants with average RM4o each
with another free one
then a multiway bag
+ lady gaga album

i'm not supposed to buy anything in gmarket already but...
surfing pants is considered cheap and nice looking if compare to msia
the multiway bag looks really nice for me but a bit too big in size
lady gaga album? malaysia might have already banned it for christianity...
kinda regret as i don't really like the songs inside


May 26th, Thursday

at night
planned to have yungfu's farewell after korean class
but he's having dinner with his labmates
then ended up with Xiang them for their 2nd round
they just finished their dinner with their professor and labmates

so what's their 2nd round and my dinner
it's raw octopus with moving muscles
it's already dead
instead octopus, there's other raw seafood
weird seafood that we can't get in msia (except squid)
it's kinda out of my expectation again
as the octopus muscles were not moving as active as i think
tasted just like raw fish
so as other seafood but some of them tasted really "fishy"
it's really interesting as YoungSil as a Korean also never tried some of them before
these are the living one from those seafood we ate

then 2nd round for yungfu as he just finished his shower as we came back
went to eat korean pancake with 막걸리
it's the first time i went there and infinite times for other
ordered some very nice pancake
from best to not so good of the night

fish pancake
taste like fish and chips without chips
potato pancake
taste really good but don't know how to describe
kimchi pancake

seafood pancake
and drank 막걸리... course drank too fast
so got a bit giddy after that
that's the night for thursday


May 27th, Friday

planned to go to Busan's best club Maktum
but it was sort of a raining day
i really wanted to go but don't feel like going that time
if i don't go then when should i go?
nvm... keep it to next time
but there's an excuse for me not to go
drink with others

when to drink with group of seniors
korean and non-korean
snacks were chicken (original and curry)
the curry is very nice and i like it a lot
original one is also as nice as what we normally ate before
drank 2 shots at 1st
1st - 소멕 (beer + soju)
2nd - Fantasia (Pinapple fanta + beer + soju)
fantasia really tasted more like very gassy fanta
after was either 소멕 or cola + beer + soju
the cola + beer + soju was really... hmmm...
i just don't like the taste of it

after that 2nd round in karaoke
really omg... korean really can sing well
those tune they sang was so freaking high and good
there's no 3rd round today so went back after 2nd session


May 28th, Saturday

woke up at 9 because of the noises outside...
it's too early and i didn't sleep well
went to Nampo-dong again to buy souvenirs
brunch of the day was
octopus again
before
after

for my standard it's not really spicy
but i was still sweating like hell
it's really nice to eat with rice

then walking around to buy souvenirs
and found the shop that others said is cheaper
we were trying to speak in malay so that we can bargain for more
bargaining is not my skill so i always need help for this
what i bought here were mainly snacks for relatives
막걸리 chocolate and spicy chocolate + ginseng tea
they're not cheap though

they lady boss didn't give us much discount...
next time should ask the man boss to calculate for us
+ credit card is not accepted
so i have to pay cash
my balance cannot last me in busan anymore

then we went to find some special souvenirs
and cong jie and soh yee were having duet there LOL
walking around...
queuing up for a very long queue snack
호떡
something special bout this is that it is wrapped with nuts
met with soh yee around 545 as she's walking alone again
and went to house party in senior's place (dom dom and YY)

been chit-chatting and steam-boating with 20 people in a room
kinda packed but still can move around
leave at 11+pm to catch the last train
was invited to club after i finished my shower
+ the subway is already closed and the venue is really far...
next time then


May 29th, 2011

slept till very late to cover the lost few days before
everything only started while having farewell for soh yee
what we did was pancake house again
with something extra
mussels in chili soup
taste wasn't bad + it's only 3,000 won (~RM9)

and we bought this on the way to karaoke
some tasteless korean snack
in karaoke sang for almost 2 hours for around RM6 without drinks
we ordered 1.5hours and 0.5 was free (korean way)
korean karaoke will always give some additional time in karaoke
it'll depends on how much they give only

sleep at 3 something again and couldn't sleep well...

next will be last week in busan already
time to plan for the travel schedule

Destination 5.2.12 : Drink drink drink & party


May 17th - 22nd

Wednesday dinner, 17th
Young Sil brought us to eat fish in Jurye
heard that this is one of Busan's dishes
taste good and lotsa veggies
the texture of the is kinda chewy
something like those expensive fish we eat in malaysia
added a bowl of potato noodle in each plate before finished
the noodle also taste good with a bit of potato aroma


19th, Friday night

went to drink again with seniors :
Young Sil, Shirly, Yap, Tim, Whye Kit
Soh Yee, Yung Fu, and Zinc

1st round soju with nice snack
BBQ pork with chewy bones
BBQ Chicken
port tasted better than chicken
should be different kind of spice they used

2nd round : Bamboo alcohol
with Tim, Whye Kit and Yung Fu gone
Kimchi with Tofu
Pancake (taste like Roti Kosong)
1st time drink bamboo alcohol
tasted suck for me
but they said that another brand one taste better
and i hope that the brand i bought before is the nice one
we've been chatting about our grandparents background here LOL

3rd round : Karaoke
with Dong-woo and his friends + the rest minus Yap
sang till 230 and gone back to online a while only sleep


May 21st, 2011

planned to watch 4D movie today
and woke up around 1230
because other knocked on our door to wake us up >.<
omg
it was really nice sleep actually
quickly woke up and prepared to go out

reached the world largest department store
Shinsegae
check at the box office
and only 3 tickets left for 4D
there's no Fast 5 but only Caribbean
actually all of us prefer Fast 5 but there's no 4D for it

so what did we do there?
loitering at the 3D exhibition there
it's starcraft II in 3D
we also played a while there
then to the sky bridge, bookstore, ice rink
and the part next to the department store
the very great looking statues in lotte dept.
next to shinsegae

moved to PKNU for another loiter
+ multiple birthdays celebration
nothing much again and waited a while for gathering time

supposed to eat beer can chicken
waited for quite a long time then the appetizer reached
good looking but sort of tasteless
and was told that they don't have the chicken after we finished our appetizer
WTH... we've been waiting for so long there
won't they tell us when we took order long time ago?
+ that tasteless appetizer costed us 35,000 per plate...
i won't mind if i got the chicken but i didn't
but we drank few jugs of beer

so we just left and seek for dinner
multiple recommended restaurant is already closed down
there's nothing left to eat and we ended up in karaoke lounge
the 1st karaoke lounge was really classy look
seems like night club with a lot of lights
but it's already full so we went to another one

and started the party there
bday celebration to Megan, Sarah, Gamy and Yap
not the same day but celebrate together

we sang till missed the last train
actually we purposely missed it
course we're hitting the club in this area
but went for supper before the party
in BBQ
and i lost 3 out of 4 drinking games here...
lucky or unlucky?

there's few clubs around but we went for the
cheapest and most happening one
it's only 5,000 won (~RM 15)
with a drink (beer/juice/cocktail)
shot only cost 3,000 won (~RM9)
okay... i bought 2 shots of whiskey
open from 12 to 6am (earliest subway run at 530)
really cheap right?

environment there is really not bad
although it's only size of a shop lot
(really a shop lot on 2nd floor)
but it's not that crowded as the one we went in seoul

music? mostly english and not really new
new song only play for a chorus and skipped...
korean song? even less and those k-pop song they played
i've heard of it or i got their album
(k-pop albums i owned is less than 10)

people here shuffle or just bounce hardly
even gals also shuffle
okay... to be honest
msia gals does dress sexy in club
mini skirt, high heels with sexy dance
but korean people shuffle better in style
and only shuffle they do nothing else...

so i stay there till 5.30
they stopped the music since there's nobody there
and i almost missed the station that i'm supposed to
really felt asleep deeply in the train

didn't take any photo as my pants were not convenient to put camera
else there's be some SS for sure

sunday?
rest in the room whole day without going out
plan for bicycle ride was cancelled as well

Destination 5.2.11.2 : Conference in Jeju Island


May 13th - 16th

today is already 22nd and i'm getting lazy to blog >.<

before we leave for Jeju
we pay 10k for stay and transportation
4 days 3 nights
it's consider cheap for

then we paid another 60k for the entainment
such as entrance fees to park and touring area
and discounts are already included

the trip included
Korean seniors - Young Sil, Dong Woo & Beum Su
Shirly and Fahim then Soh Yee, Xiang and Cong Jie


on the 1st day, May 13th Friday

Our ticket is one hour later than the rest so we leave late and arrive late
once we arrived, straight away head to our 1st destination
a memorial park for a legendary woman from the past
she seemed to be a doctor last time
the park filled with a lot of huge tress
and the weather was really nice for touring

then we went to our apartment to put our stuffs there
cuz the car was full of our stuffs till it's hard for us to sit
it's really nice apartment actually
clean and spacious
good for party

move on to the next destination
waterfall
and it's already evening when we reached there
natural environment
full of Jeju Guardians

mountain of trees with clear blue sky
even the moon was already out that time
we've walked for quite a distance till we reach the waterfall
it's not that gorgeous as my expectation
and other said like we've reached China
it somehow seems like China scenery

of course the Korean seniors did a lot of crazy stuff
something i found was
korean travelled faster than us
that's how they can pack in a lot of places into a day i guess

before the day end
went to HomePlus for groceries
they planned to have home cooked dinner + breakfast
cuz it's expensive to eat in Jeju
but drinks (in alcohol) are more than every other things

normally Korean seniors are those who do the cooking
i somehow felt uneasy as they are the only on doing all the job
and i'm the one who enjoy >.<

dinner for the day : 김치찌개 (kimchi soup) with "hard" rice (malaysian style LOL)
long waited dinner (1st meal after 10 something in the morning)
i should be washing the dishes but it ended up they washed everything
because i eat too slow

been enjoying watching Transformers 2 movie
since they're cooking (for around 2 hours)
and after dinner
enjoying cool beer while watching movie
4 bottles gone for the 1st night


2nd day, 14th Saturday

day to attend conference for presentation
woke up really early as everyone is rushing for the toilet
reached there quite early also as it's far from where we stayed
i'm the 5th one
was a bit late for the session as waiting for my photographer to record for me >.<
it made me nervous to be the present somewhere behind
don't know why, i'm the last one to present instead of 2nd last

i presented in english and
most of the people around don't understand english
but at least there's one
and he asked question too

i think that i didn't present well
the timing is still okay as i'm around 1-2mins faster
but i lost my content
i didn't present the way i wanted to be
and i didn't express myself enough

after the presentation
cong jie told me that part of my presentation was wrong
i thought it the way i expressed but no
it's the content
i was like what the hell
i really didn't know about it...
so the presentation wasn't good at all

meet our professor and we followed him to Sami's presentation
told the rest that we'll be meeting them in the canteen later
we were sort of late to canteen because we were waiting for professor
and it's quite a distance for us to walk there

we shouldn't be able to have our lunch there as
we our professor didn't buy us a separate entry
thanks to Sami
he asked for free coupons for us
but we ended up waited there for sometime as they were out of food
omg... + the rest were waiting for us
i really speeded up eating
and rush to them
we always keep them waiting >.<

then to mystery road where is near to Jeju University
at 1st we could get how mysterious it was
because we started from the wrong direction LOL
(starting? should move to where is facing me, not behind of me)
then it's somehow mystery cuz
we're supposed to fall back when the gear is in neutral
but somehow we were moving forward from our view
yeah~ it's mystery

then we went to another stop
Love Land
but we played with another mystery road again in front of it
this one is more mysterious as we can really see and that we should be hiking a hill
but we're still accelerating forward in neutral gear

it's loveland
a park for age 19+
they're supposed to be artistic
but due to our really corrupted brain
it turned our to be the way we want LOL

so what is this place
it's a open air park with a lot of "artistic" statues
with a lot of different "poses"
there's a lot of outrageous photos we took
not only the statues but with the statues LOL
interesting and fun place to visit (i'm pretty sure for everyone)

the teddy bear museum
out of my expectation again
i thought the teddy bears will be everywhere for us to play
but they are all sealed in boxes...
so we only take photos of teddy bears with a lot of reflection of the glasses
did planned to buy teddy bear for souvenirs
but then i've given up once i read "made in china"

walked to the next destination
Yeomiji Botanic Garden
took a train ride around the garden
that contains a lot of smaller themed garden
such as korean, japanese and french
+ a very large field in the middle
french garden did really attracted us that made us walked back to it
french garden is really nice when you look in far
just so so when you really enter the garden
of course took a lot of photos again
then to the very wide field in the middle
took a lot of photos like monkey there LOL

we spent more time here as we couldn't make it to other places already
every places will be closed around 6 and it's already 5 something when we're here
but i heard that some of the tickets are refundable if we didn't use them
so we went to the center building which contains few greenhouses inside
from deserted to tropical
we stayed there till it closed
some pretty blue flowers planted by the street

another round to homeplus again
to restock more water + 'drinks'
with extra foods
this is more like our MUST HAVE routine everyday

dinner today is faster because we were having instant pan-mee for dinner
today i'm the one cleaning the dishes with soh yee
so i'm better than doing nothing already (doesn't feel that guilty anymore)

it's time for drinking
didn't drink much yesterday course of conferences
but today is not the same
snacks for drinking session
sweet potato in sugar coating (thanks to the ladies for preparing this)
everybody's plan to make Xiang drink only
and he really drank a lot too
few cups in shot

then were playing games while drinking Meekju (soju+beer)
couldn't drink anymore as it's too gassy
so i drank Soju instead
2 shots in few minutes
straight away down and sleep till don't know what's going on
they even help us to put on the floor mattress >.<
and cong jie told me that i was using the blanket for 2 alone
i really didn't know that since i was so 'drunk'?
i should say sleepy instead
cuz i remember that i didn't do any funny stuff instead of sleep
after drinking

result of the night


15th Sunday

sleep till don't know when
but we only left at 12 noon
really late for traveling i'm sure
cuz everybody was so tired

1st stop of the day was
ATV (all terrain vehicle)
we've been waiting for sometime because there's 9 of us
i'm the only one having camera one
cuz it's dust proof
we were lead by a person there through the route
it's really nice scenery from our ride
but very dusty

sometimes i purposely wait for the person in front to be in distance
so that i can drive faster or even drive through some rocks
this is what excitement should be
and took quite a number of nice photos there

next destination was kinda far
it's a setting purposely built for drama
it seems more like the real castle we visited
of course this is more interesting than those castles
but smaller in size

then to a place where soh yee wanna visit
but we stopped by half way to get our light lunch
it's waffle by the sea (i supposed it should be seaside)
really windy and cold

then till a hill by the sea
which is really famous for sunrise
the problem is that we need around 2 hours for a round trip
+ most of the people are not going up
soh yee and xiang planned to go halfway then come down again
and i planned to join them (it's better than wait there i guess)
but we need to get ticket to go in
so we ended up in the souvenir store below
buying a lot of Jeju orange products
i didn't buy cuz i dun like orange flavor food
except pure orange itself (or juice)

then to a seaside area
another setting for a lot of movie also
i don't really know the name of this place
but it looks really nice from photos
and from far LOL
wide field with the house like building in the middle
then lighthouse by the cliff

guess what we saw there
a board with graffiti on it



and guess who did it
it's MALAYSIANSS
OH MY FUCKING GOD
this really is the embarrassment for malaysia
are you nut or something?
telling people that this is an act of malaysian...
can somebody track them down PLEASE
this SARA and ERIN came here on May 10th, 2011

guess where's our last stop?
it's market again
to shop the the dinner tonight
BBQ at the garden
their BBQ is really like the BBQ in Korean restaurant
it's totally not like what we normally do in malaysia
so called BBQ chicken with stick on

AGAIN...
we didn't help in cooking again
didn't feel good at all
course we are eating while they're busy cooking
but at least i did the cleaning again
and everybody slept earlier as too tired


Last day, 16th
consider as no activity today
just headed to airport and fly back to Busan
flight for CJ and I were supposed to be at 2 something pm
while there rest is around 11am
thanks to young sil
she helped us to change our flight to the same as them

there's a way we don't really practice in malaysia
we can change our flight last minute if there's seat left
(people who didn't checked in the last few minutes)
so we'll be listed in the standby queue and wait for our ticket
luckily there's seats for us
and 100% transfer with no surcharge (if the cost is the same)


appreciation to the seniors

in order to thanks the seniors for everything in Jeju
including planning, taking care of us, cooking, just everything
i bought 2 cans of coffee for each of them
since they like coffee very much
i really appreciate and felt guilty for the troubles caused
and the car we've been traveled in Jeju

Update May 24th:

Bought souvenir from Jeju
Jeju Hallabong 한라봉
it's not cheap anyway
one box is 30,000 won (~RM90)
so i shared with shirly for this

so what's so special with this "orange" thingy
its taste is not really as strong as normal orange
but it's juicy (even its skin)
in korea, there only one place to get this -> Jeju
