my christmas tree. some fake snow (wispy cotton) before the real stuff.
them darlings came to send me off to korea. my whole family thinks they're very nice girls now. heh heh. appreciate it man!! :)
in the big big taxi to Changi Airport. only my ahgong and brother had the strong stomachs to sit facing the back of the taxi.
the teos. we're where the non-travellers can't enter. 
i reckon this should be pretty new. was funny how all of us couldnt work the cooler. until we realised we had to push the 'push'. 
korean air stewardesses from asiana airlines! but the ones on the return flight were prettier. and that's my mom. she's an excuse for the picture. hahha. 
the korean world cup stadium!
kimchi-making session! ahgong was totally hilarious when he refused to carry on rubbing chilli paste mixture after some pathetic glops, as he claims that mucus flowing will interfere. right on, ahgong!
an nyeong ha seh yeoh to you too.
-12 degrees celsius with strong icy winds is no joke.i wanna dye my hair! after seeing my cousin's brown locks for days, i think im decided.
pretty dorky hats, its like made out of cardboard or sth, its that hard. me and my bro in some pretty shop in Everland! (singapore should have a theme park. escape doesnt even have a decent giftshop or something. or maybe its the coldness that makes everything so much more prettier.)
they actually show Harry Potter in Everland. amazing. oh, you know my tour guide gave my cousin this wristband that allows him to go on all rides in Everland. plus, she whispered to him to not let the other people in the tour group know. she must really think he's goodlooking. 
my loving grandparents eating the sausages my filial dad got them. KOREANS ARE BLATANT LIARS. hahha. okay, maybe its a misunderstanding. but SEAFOOD SAUSAGES did not have any sausages in them. what's up with that.
getting the sweepers to be young and speedy on rollerblades was a wacky idea!
this ride was damn entertaining. dont get me wrong, i wasnt on it. but there was a huge crowd and my family, just standing there looking up at these girls as they spin higher and faster, screaming like crazy, hair whipping around like mad. 
my mom. she really likes this photo. 
at mayfair resort, we sleep on fluffy silk comforters on heated wooden floors. it gets pretty warm, which was great in wintry korea. 
yes. white white snow. right outside the door of our beautiful resort.
there was a staircase up. which leads to...
a loft! (is that what you call it?) i'd love to have a bedroom(its a bed im sitting on, just that we cleared out the pillows and stuffs) like that, where you can look up to the starry sky and see snow fall, through that little window. 
my daddy. the scenery was so white and beautiful. i hardly believed it was right before my eyes, and not on some widescreen tv. 
our postcard-pretty resort. 
it was on these snow-covered stone steps that a big friendly wolf-dog bounded up to us. awfully cute! i started patting it when no one else dared, too bad we werent quick enough to take a photo of it. it wouldnt stop moving, probably to keep warm. 
our first breakfast in korea! and biaoge had too much of the sweeet oranges that he got pretty sick that night.
the heater, with real fire licking the sides of the top sometimes! it was a real luxury to the frostbitten us.proof of the weather!
here we were at the skiing lodge. pretty few skiiers this early in the morning.
chairlifts! 
and the ski slopes start to fill up. this was where i started to notice the beautiful korean noses. 
the skiing foodplace where people thaw out from the bitter cold just outside the doors. its called the fitness centre for some reason. i was admiring the skiboards and skiblades hanging in the picture, pretty awesome designs. the lockers were pretty expensive. almost $2 for one time usage.
if only singapore had such beautiful blue waters, with white foamy waves crashing on the rocks. purrfect.
we got onto this funny boat, which allowed the locals to travel between 2 islands, which had a separation so small you could clearly see the faces of the people on the opposite shore. the boat works by a pulley system, which my cousin is helping to work out now.
can you hear the soft swoosh of the butterflies' wings. 2:31 AM.
