heyo!! DEAREST FAMILIES AND FRIENDS,
thanks to all for the rush meeting last week, thanks to all for the little farewell gifts, sorry to those whom I didnt have a chance to meet up before I leave for the dreamland..... hahah..... >_<
I guess I was old and experienced enough so I told my families and friends nt to send me off... anyway its only another 6 mnths more n we'll meet again.... So off i went alone with the FOREVER big and heavy luggage (the gift frm ex-sentosians, still survivin well). Believed me I didnt packed alot of things bt the luggage itself weighs 6kg?!!! But luckily I got my luggage weightage increased so it wasnt much of a worry....... (i shld nt elaborate hw i get thru to get it increase hahhaaha)
So off i went check-in my luggages.... Thanks to my past experience, I brought along a backpack and its really come in handy... I put in some clothes to share the weight of the luggage and have it conveniently carried behind me... nt so messy like i used to be... After through the customs, i still have sometime so I went shopping for sm chocolates for my friends.... I thought chocolates were cheaper there then in the stores.... bt i was wrong it wasnt bt anyway there r more varieties of special chocolates and they do have promotions too...
a friend of mine LOVE toblerone WHITE chocolate very much so i decided to buy him the GIANT TOBLERONE.... haha which IS AMAZING nt available in KOREA! so bought other chocolates wif liquor contained... guess its more special then any other chocolates in korea.... sad to say nothing frm sg... unless i were to buy the merlion chocolate... hahah
The flight was cool.... me being alone... was just alright... watched some movies and fall asleep... the plane was really weird... its pretty warm in it.... i wonder if e pilot on the warmer or something?! its the 1st time i ever experience ..... As usual I chose an aisle seat... so i have 2 other passengers with me on my left... they r 2 young korean boys... playing wif their PSPs......
they r very cute... i guess they r on the flight on their own cos the air stewardesses were very attentive to them asking them as n when whether they r okay... I guess becos they r little kids so i can understand what their conversations are......... (^_^)Y
Landed in Incheon International Airport safely on 26 May, 7.30am. The pilot wasnt that gd cos I can feel the air pressure in my head... abt to burst my blood vessel!!!!!! Anyway.... went through the customs... dilly-dally... taking my own sweet time... as I have all the time....... guess i was the only one that was strolling in the customs..... ppl just rushed for their luggages, run for the queues etc....I guess this shld b the way if u r going on holiday... R.E.L.A.X! (hey r u guilty of being one like them?! hahaha i used to be)
Went out of the customs... went all ard to find an atm machine so i could withdraw some krn won frm my krn bank account... went high n low findin the KEB (Korean Exchange Bank) atm.. I shld say the directory in the airport wasnt tat gd... I have a difficult time findin it... bt anyway i found it....
Withdrawn the money and went upstairs for my airport shuttle bus.... Yes... hop onto the bus tat will bring me to Ewhwa University street.... Alight frm there and went out to find a motel..... Bcos of my heavy luggages I have no choice bt to settle in one tat has an elevator... ERm.... u must be wondering y wasnt there anyone pickin me up at the airport?? Cos i didnt inform anyone I was arrivin... In fact I told my friends I was arriving in June.... heheh... WHY cos I wana surprize them and i dunno i dun really like to bother ppl.... so this prove I CAN DO it MYSELF!!!!!
Settled down and called my friends one by one to inform them i am BACK! hahah... everyone was totally STUNNED and surprize....... Met up with Ah Han for lunch and gave him the giant toblerone... He was so happy with tat GIANT toblerone, I'm glad i gt the correct gift! :) Had a little chat and he is off for his work.......
After that I went ard searching for boarding hse..... Went ard the district of my current language sch bt failed to find boarding hse... so I have no choice bt to shift my search to somewhere in the Sinchon district.... WEnt through a few boarding hse and was evaluating the cost, condition of the room, accessibility, boarding hse owners etc..... haha given my past experience I believed I became more choosy.... I just wished that I can b as lucky as before to find a nice boarding hse with nice owner.......
Luckily I found one with a reasonable price, clean, big room with accessiblilty to the subway and is abt 15 mins walk to sch... no steep slopes etc... haha if u have visited kr b4 u shld knw tat their hses r all built on steep slopes...... EXTREME steep slopes.............
WEnt back to the motel to have some rest after a whole afternn of travelling here and there searchin for my boardin hse...... Am I really luckily or is it becos of my experience.... it seems to be so much easier..... guess being able to communicate in krn really aid alot!
