They're here! :) My Korea/Hongkong photos. (Okay I know I took a long time.) Well most of the time either 1) It gets too cold for anyone to want to remove off their gloves to take photos 2) The digital camera runs out of battery especially under the cold weather, haha. This will probably be very painful to read for people without firefox, sorry :/ (Go get now!) Day 1 Day1 was pretty much flying around because there was transiting. But people take the most photographs when they're bored! I think I only had 3/4 hours of sleep :( Totally cute! Transformation :o Eating korean cup noodles for supper, haha. Day 2 Day2 was mostly about travelling & Everland, a really beautiful amusement park :) Family shot! (plus some sort of a santa) The much-talked-about Liger. (Think Lion + Tiger, lol) My brother will kill me/my father for this :D The beautiful carrousel :) Oh yes & there was this Double Rock Spin ride I took with daddy. Dizzy. & I almost lost one of the pair of earrings Lester got me last year. But almost = didn't la. There was a superbly long parade too which was really cool. & we all sat the bumper car, it gets embarrassing when you bump into korean strangers but that's the whole point I guess. Day 3 It was probably the coldest day. We were at a Yongpyong ski resort (where Winter Sonata was shot blahblah) & then we went to Mt. Sorak & Waterpia for hot spring/spa bath/water fun. No hot spring photos because that would have been really wrong. Everyone rented ski costumes at the ski resort btw, which is why a lot of people seem to be wearing the same clothes. Dragon Peak :) only mummy & I took the cable ride up there. Beautiful place :) but it was so high up & terribly cold & windy. We ran up here twice I think. The skiing lesson. It doesn't take a lot of brains to guess what happened after this snapshot :/ But I wasn't hurt don't worry haha. Me. & me. (This was in an attempt to imitate a poster with Rain, i think, holding a ski board too. But we didn't take a photo of that & I couldn't find it on the internet so never mind :( ) Mt. Sorak. It snowed a little when we climbed up the mountain. This photo does not do enough for everything I did to stand at such a position zzz. Day 4 We stopped over at some random ground because it snowed there overnight & everyone wanted to play with real snow :D then we went to Nami (beautiful) island & travelled to Seoul. Visited some Kyongbok palace (you probably know by now I have the itinerary with me) & shopped at Dongdaemun. This definitely shows the snow came from the sky. On the ferry to Nami island! The boat's supposed to break ice to move in water but there weren't any ice to break. Mummy! I'm sure everyone'll say she's the best la haha. Okay but many other aunties did this (blocking the female lead). Cute or cute? Daddy dropped the camera at least thrice but this time I think the effect's quite obvious. I was really trying not to laugh. P.S. height difference :( Me & my sister with the funny Jen & her niece. My brother's so adorable :D I cannot believe daddy did this haha! You go daddy! This was taken in the palace place. Daddy is bored, all of them are bored (while me & mummy continue shopping). The Dongdaemun place sells so many pretty & exquisite things I tell you, but they were all very pricey so yes mummy didn't allow me to buy anything. I got a pair of skinny jeans though, & they fit :) although they're still loose around the waist/hips but yes, my tightest pair already. I'm a happy kid. Day 5 Day 5 was the boring day i think. We went to the Presidental Blue House, then there was a lot of shopping at those ginseng/amethyst/cordycep speciality shops. & shopping at Myongdong & Namdaemum which was not bad. Then after dinner we went to Lotte World, a big & complicated place. It's an amusement park, a museum, a sports centre & a shopping centre ^.- Daddy is bored once again. He took 3 photos like that in MyongDong & I cannot tell them apart. Lotte world. We queued like close to an hour with other tour people for some train ride around the whole place which was quite stupid but yes, beautiful place. Anyway the point I actually want to make: Do me & my brother look alike in this photo or what. (P.S. Jon tan says 'quite only la'. but still.) Daddy loves me :) This doesn't really bring out the majestic feeling of the whole place but yeah, it is really. The Gyro Drop. I went to sit this with my dad because there wasn't a queue (especially after the long train queue & seeing the long haunted house queue). A 70 metres high free fall experience (physics ^.-) & it goes 100km/h I think. "Nobody knows when it falls" quoted from the official website. It was super cool, I don't think I'll ever forget the feeling. Bungee drop. Another queueless ride. My brother was persuaded by his new found good friend. I think it's the scariest ride he's sat. This one's 38m at 90km/h. (P.S. guy at left side's a korean stranger la.) Day 6 Was the earliest day we had to wake up, 5am I think :0 Made last minute purchases somewhere near the airport & we had to leave Korea already. Us kids started cam whoring a little at the airport while the parents were checking in & all. By now I think you know us kids refer to a lot of kids, haha. (P.S. this isn't all of us, there's more) This would have been a great photo if it weren't blurred. Photo with the tour guide & his very nice assistant Eric (left). He does everything for us I tell you he's the best! I was quite sad until he made me laugh like that at the camera. This was on the plane to Hongkong. My brother's new found good friend's really damn cool please. He built that thing on the plane! (& I couldn't, kthxbye.) After touching down we had free time to go shopping/eating/more shopping on our own. I don't have much to say about Hongkong since I've just been there last June. Day 7 We went around quite dumb places taking photographs mostly. But it was my last day with everyone & we were extending so didn't get to sit the plane back with the kids which was quite sad. The kids :) Not everyone's here again. & a little kid did something super embarrassing to me shall not tell you. It was a bad wind day, not a bad hair day. At the hotel lobby. You know we can't bear each other (look at her grabbing my arm). Day 8 The others would have been resting in Singapore already. Oh mummy, daddy & I did an amazing feat of walking from Tsim Sha Tsui/Harbour City to Mongkok East which is 4 MTR (I don't know why they call it MTR) stops in total. & I was in my wedges please. Awesome. The hotel, it was not bad. The decorations at the shopping centre linked to the hotel. There I'm done! Well almost. I need to rant more, rushed through quite abit. But yes all that tomorrow, it's late.
