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
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
