wahhh after korea, the weather here is killing me. its like i stepped into changi airport and started sweating even though there was aircon.


ok so i went there by business class. and the gap between the two is really huge lah. i mean the air steward made it an effort to remember me and my brother's name. and when i was koping my brother's bowl of potato chips while watching trainman, (the jap movie from a book abt a geek who met this woman on the bus and finally got together with her after a lot of help from his online buddies in a chat room-damn sweet) they noticed and gave me a bowl too. and their iced mocha is heavenly. so i watched trainman, charlie and the choc factory and half of kungfu mahjong on the way there.


first day, went shopping. didn't buy anything though. too tired i guess. i mean 11.45pm flight. didn't sleep at all. angelina alina and winston. haha winston's so cute lah. brought out the child in me. then we made our way to the ski resort. dinner was super good. half stramboat half bbq. pork and sotong. tried the body board on the snow but slept early cause so shagged.


then we went skiing the whole day! haha it was okaay lah. not as fun as i wish it had been. but i think that's my fault cause i suck at it. hahaha always try the steep slope then end up flying through the air. then got one time this idiot left his skiis lying around and since i hadn't (or have for that matter) learnt how to turn yet, all i could do was hit it and fly and land with a thud. so loud lah. everyone looking so malu. but alina's damn pro lah. a natural. and i had board races with winston and my brother hahaha. u know the ones u sit on and hold the sides and just slide down the slope. heh. and omg they have churros everywhere in korea YUM.
that night called them to go down to bowl/pool/arcade at the central plaza. but they decided to go to their rooms first so we missed them. me and my brother played pool. damn ex lah. S$3.30 per 10min. omg. but the service was really good. there was this table where ppl were playing for the first time. and the guy at the counter who was in a suit went to teach them for half an hour. and ends up they were at the arcade so they didn't see us. bowling was full btw.


3rd day went to mt sorak. view was great. trees all diff colour. but i didn't dare climb all the way to the top to see the sea cause i didn't trust my shoes enough. damn steep lah. dangerous coming down. then went to WATERPIA. hahahaha so fun. its like this gigantic indoor water place. spa so shuang. and i don't believe i went outside. to an OUTDOOR SWIMMING POOL IN WINTER. omg can die lah. run there, jump in. water's warm but when u get out again. and we didn't rent towels when we went out. didn't go to the outdoor hot springs cause those were even further away than the outdoor swimming pool. did the big slide. but didn't bring goggles so couldn't see much. hahaha. i spa-ed so much until skin all wrinkled. so gross. then i had WHITE MOCHA JAVALANCHE at java city. damn nice coffee joint inside waterpia. hahaha heavenly. white chocolate mocha.
yup. our mountain resort had a LAN SHOP. haha and a pool room. ok not really a pool room cause there was only one pool table, ok they call it pocketball there. the more popular game in korea is one i've never seen before. haha. the table has no pockets. and you play with two red and two white balls. they're bigger than pool balls. and the aim (i think, after watching ppl play a lot) is to use one of the white balls to hit both red balls. as in hit one red then bounce of to hit another one. if you don't hit both reds then your turn is over. then they keep score. its freakin hard lah. have to calculate every shot. needs much more skill than pool in my opinion. yeah so played with angelina, alina and winston later on. my brother was slpin. it was like alina's first time playing and still so pro. haha she's like a natural at everything.

the lan shop was so cool lah. all the super ultra cool korean games that will prob never make it to singapore's shores. kart racer. guns? and some cool 2d game sort of like maple but MUCH better graphics, 3d rendering and cooler skills. there was like a small girl playing tt game prob abt 6/7 years old and angelina was saying that the girl was so cool she's like the type of girl who beats her brother at computer games everytime. haha. but the dominant game was starcraft lah. they were even showing starcraft matches on national tv. they even had kof98 online.


yeahh. haha okay i'm gonna continue tmr. quite tired and i have to wake up early for training.
