10 June
I was very very excited when I wake up on this day tbvvvvh??
jiu jiu decided to send me to airport so yay dun need to bring the heavy and kinda bulky luggage onto MRT heh. Did a last minute check for the things I’m gonna bring and YEP IM READY TO GO. I finally got to use the orange jansport bag which I’ve bought it for many many many months just for the korea trip
Mummy wants to see the company (yl, qq, kat, sean) which I’m going to Seoul with, so I informed yl jiejie that my mum wants to see them LOL. So after my mum saw them they went popeyes to have dinner. Oh yah, changsong & jiawei & verrine & reyrey and I think jacejace came to send us off too ^_^ ( I cant rmb who else >___< im sorry
) yup, so we sorta had dinner together I think..? I CANT RMB OMG ITS SO LONG AGO ;A;
but uhm qq and yl had ramen earlier…?? all I rmb was verrine bought starbucks
yup, so after walking around and chatting with them for awhile, we have to check in already! bid goodbye to them but… we forgot to take a grp pic tgt WHY T___T okay so we went inside and yl jiejie did some shopping ~ and then…. flight delayed
for 1 hr!! haha luckily its only for 1hr, so we can still catch the flight at KL >)) the flight to KL was only around 45minutes so we were like chatting and all on our way there. Once we’re at KL airport, we went to grab some bread bc its gonna be a very long flight to seoul later. After refreshing ourselves, we get ready to get on the flight to seoul!!! IM AN EXCITED KID OKAY. then then because our seats were being separated, we’re all /sorta/ separated from each other and I was sitting alone in the window seat. Bc I didn’t bring jacket along, Istg the whole night I was freezing like shit?? (we’re reaching seoul in the morning!) I slept pretty well tho hehe.
11 June
Tadah! I was woken up and OMG WE’RE IN KOREA WDOHDGDASHDASBISA OKAY. OMG and the instant
on my face when I took out my phone and see the time becoming 1 hr faster than it is in SG! the temperature there that morning was around 17deg?? when we touched down it was around 6+ kst iirc? hahaha omg so shiok pls wtf
HAHAHAHA then went to do check out… took quite long tho bc they let koreans go first T_T HAHAH AND UHM THEY NEED TO LIKE CALL US PRESS OUR THUMBS ON THE DEVICE THING OK THEN IM LIKE ?___? so I placed my thumbs elsewhere then the person point on the thing IM LIKE OMG SHIT LOL. then bc qq was behind me, aft he’s done, he’s like telling me how funny I was HAHAHA
okay then we’re off to collect our luggages! however… I guess something happened along the transporting of the luggage and sean couldn’t find his luggage
and that instantly dampened everyone’s mood. like.. seriously. ok then we split intro group, to buy breakfasts for everyone and to rent the wifi device
we had seaweed w rice in a triangle shape thingy for breakfast AND AND BANANA MILK!!! I swear the weather is damn awesome pls the moment we walk out of the airport to the jumbo taxi tt is gg to bring us to ibville, WOAH the wind <3 hahaha. okay the trip from taxi to ibville is a very long trip so we had our breakfast and drank our drinks and I slept for awhile. basically everyone wasn’t rlly happening at tt pt of time bc of the luggage issue omg stupid airasia jzd –_- ok then when we reached ibville, it was arnd 8/9+am?? hahaha we couldn’t check in yet so we jus left our luggages at the garage while we go and explore myeongdong streets
. hahah we saw a filming at myeongdong but do not know who are the people filming orz. Walking around and seeing innisfree(yoona), the face shop(seohyun), spao(snsd) everywhere OMG THE LVL OF SHIOKNESS IS VERY HIGH. then then kat jiejie decides to do some shopping for her sis first, so she went to etude house ~ while qq grabs a bite first from the road-side vendor selling on-sticks. After that because we’re bored and dk what to do so we decided to go apgujeong
and we took very very very very long to decide what do we want for lunch lolol so we said, “lets jus walk and eat whichever first restaurant we see ok” and walk walk walk, we saw a restaurant called “black smith” and we had lunch there!
sean kinda went off to walk walk bc he wasn’t rlly in the mood to eat.. but anyway, this is our lunch! :

17 June
guess where are we going today!!! we’re going to let our(theirs actually
I SEE MY NINE PRETTY YEOSHINS EARLY IN THE MORNING. WOOHOO MOOD BOOSTER HAHAHAHA. then when we reached jamsil, we had to ask for directions/which bus to take to everland and that took quite awhile & stupid sun is so bright that day
I guess we took a bus to kangnam station aft tt bc that station appeared in the pic I took ahahaha. I only rmb aft that we took a cab to somewhere but uh I cant rmb where. hyehwa iirc!! we wanted to have the famous maru chicken that everyone kept introducing us to eat but…. it was closed down when we went there
HAHAHA. okay then we saw this street game where we have to break the plastic plates (which is pretty easy lol). each game 3000won then if break all can get prize HAHAHA.
qq went first, then he hit too hard thinking it’d be hard to win then his hand hit the ground SMH. hahaha then yl played, but she first try didn’t hit straight down so uncle gave her another try and she succeeded! I tried it too hahaha fun experience n_n then we went to stock up on snacks and drinks (banana milk!!!) and I came across this… weird cherry flavour cola lmao.
daring sean bought it LOL. but he didn’t drink on the spot, so the drink was kept in the fridge in our guesthouse till a later date. then we rested for the night.
18 June
woke up and had banana milk & strawberry milk (kat’s) that we bought yesterday and feel good
sigh I miss them already
LOOK SO NICE RIGHT OH MY GOD. HAHAHA. that day kat and us separated again… she loves to separate from us apparently
no wonder seohyun likes to read so much… lolol. we took a cab from the station to the place since we have 4 ppl again~ then we have to go into this yuldong park bc the bungee jump is inside the park! and when we finally reach our destination… we saw a very high tower and we’re all excited and nervous (at least for me LOL) then we wrote our names, wore our safety outfit, have our weight taken… then we went up :c omg the escalator is xia si ren pls… the tower is 45m high walao T____T when we reached upstairs, there is like this guy trying to jump… but he keep dun dare to jump lolol. then we met this lady from china, she told us that we’re only given 2 tries to jump… if we go to the edge and try to jump for once, but keep retreating, the guy in charge will call you to stand back and rest for awhile, then later you have to try to jump again, if you don’t, then you have to repay another 25000won to jump lolol. so that guy was at his 2nd try… so all of us were like HWAITING!! hahah then he finally found courage (not exactly actually lol) then he jumped and we’re like WOAHHHHHHH. HAHAHA. then after that we decided to jump according to age, and that would mean sean, qq, yl, me. but yl decided to switch place with me in case I dun dare to jump HAHAHA. so sean went to jump next, then qq, then during my turn… I damn scared omg wts I stand there I look down and X___X damn high OTL. then the instructor keep asking me to look at far far direction got one mountain… then I damn insecure so I asked if can hold the 2 straps at the side like im holding the strap of my schbag. then I told myself, I MUST JUMP BECAUSE YURI JUMPED. IF SHE CAN DO IT SO CAN I. and so.. I closed my eyes and just had a taste of how suicide is like lmao. THE ROPE DESCENDED VERY FAST KNS DAMN SCARY then reach bottom alr it will bounce back high high slowly THEN DESCEND VERY QUICKLY AGAIN and the cycle continues until it finally stabilizes –_- and me being me, I never opened my eyes until it stabilized LOL. such a waste
spot jessi yuri taeng sunny signatures HAHAHA. after that we walked out of the park, back to where we originally came from… and then there are shops nearby so we went and shopped around that area.. but first we decided to quench our thirst first so we went to some cafe? hahaha I forgot what did I had but the drink was cooling and not bad~
so time passes and we met with kat & went for dinner!! we also went to this pet shop and yl jiejie says that she wanna buy one back and kept complaining how fat snowy is bc the dogs in kr are all small small type HAHAHAHA then after that we went shopping for nomnoms bc it’s like our last night at the guesthouse so we’ve decided to pig out HAHAHA. we bought a lot a lot a lot of nonsenses (instant noodles, cakes, chocolates, twoowt chicken) HAHA. we sort of packed our stuffs abit before calling the guys over since we’re checking out rlly early tmr…. so we had them at midnight, sigh rlly fattening. played saboteur as usual
19 June
so today we decided to have loterria for our lunch!!
our room for the past 8 nights
aft that me & the 2 jiejies were tgt and qq separated with us. so we went to walk and shop around and eventually we bought this hotdog in a potato chip thingy…. ITS DAMN GOOD OMG HAHAHA. after that the guys said that they’re in a salon. LOL. we’ve been wanting to visit a salon since day 1…. and now that it’s the last day we’ve decided that we shld go too. so apprently there’re a lot of this salon with the same name in myeongdong… so we went to a diff salon as the guys. ALL OF US HAD A HAIRCUT! HAHAHA. I probably look the least different aft the haircut lol ;/ my fringe still looks damn long even after they cut it sigh
kkkk then we went back to ibville to take our luggage and wait for our jumbo taxi to bring us to incheon airport. so I tried to sleep w/o leaning onto yl jiejie on the taxi but the road’s too rocky and I am v dizzy so… I leaned on her shoulder and fell asleep within minutes LOL I pretty much slept all the way to the airport, which is like 2-3 hours. upon reaching, we sat at the benches and sort out our stuffs and try to squeeze them into our gg-to-explode luggage. kat gave us a letter each! totally kat’s style
ok so when it’s finally our turn, my luggage was kinda way overweight. like our limit is 20 but mine is… 23 and all of them had near 20-s so
I felt extremely guilty. like really guilty. so I kept silence even until we went into the departure hall. we were chilling out at this café which is prolly the only café that is opened for 24hr bc it’s like rlly late alr and our flight is at 1230am. so yl jiejie found smtg wrong with me and pulled me out for a short talk ;| felt better aft telling her how I felt tho lol kept apologizing tho. shortly aft that we’re going onto the plane alr! this is it, we’re rlly leaving seoul alr
to sum it all up, it had been an interesting trip. first trip overseas with friends, friends that are 5, 6, 8 & 10 years older than me
