Linus is soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo CUTE.

Life has been good.. hmmm, cos it has not been bad.. you know, haha~ I bet you get what I am trying to say.

While I was uploading the pics and blogging about my sixth day in Korea, I started to miss the places what we had gone to, the authentic Korean food, the feeling as a tourist, the thrill, the cold, and of course the conversations we had and the companionship.

Someday, I shall revisit Korea again. Am planning to further my studies as well. Thus this trip is gonna be after my studies. Am looking around for suitable schools too. Money is the hard part. Gonna do planning and be realistic about it. People who know me will know that I am a rather idealistic person and I know this is not going to work, I gonna be more realistic and then I'll talk to people who are like that so that the lesser mistake I will make. May the good Lord bless and guide me =)

Well for holidaying or backpacking, I feel it is always great to have a companion for me, not too many though cos some inconvenience might be caused. Two or four is a goot number to keep to. Of cos, people who share similar interests is a must. And it can be a bonus to get the chance to know more about each others. Other than that, tolerance, understanding, knowledge, interpersonal skill are involved. Basically travelling is more than just having fun.

Ahhh.. haha but pls don't get misunderstood that I've the desire to travel right now. In fact, I don't even have the mood to spend. Thinking of getting myself a saving plan which earns higher interest too. POSB's interest is always pathetic, est 0.25%. Let's make money work for myself rather than I working for money. Haha~ So that I can have enough for my studies. Yay~

What's up man....

Blogdrive, plsssssssssssssssssssssssss work.

Pissed,

We woke up pretty late because this day was a day to restore ourselves with lot of energy. Last night, there was this spread of itch on my small thigh which disturbed my sleep. It was not bedbugs, perhaps some temporary skin allergy. I got up to bathroom to wash my leg. However and unfortunately I did not turn on the shower knob properly and ended with water sprayed onto my back. No photo to show you now pathetic I looked though.

Luckily, it was not that bad.

I applied some lotion on my thigh and got back to bed. I did not want to change my pajamas because I only had one pair. Thus I took them off and slept naked (not totally, I still had my undergarments), with the think blanket pulled over which was super duper comfortable and filled with warmth. Just imagine that it was freezing outside and I could experience such a wonderful comfort in my bed. Thanks Lord.

Anyway, back to Day Six.

I greedily shared Mabel's sandwich that she bought from the convenience store at the ground level. Because she offered it to me and being a nice friend, I would not wanna hurt her feeling with rejection so I promptly accepted. By the way, the cashier was a Uni student and she knew a bit of Mandarin because she learnt it from her HK classmate when she was studying in China. Kinda ironic because it was a HK student teaching her Mandarin. I thought HKers are better in Cantonese? Anyway…

Carolynn, Mabel and I were on our way to Oeodo Island. It was going to be a long journey but all of us were just looking forward to that because the last scene in Winter Sonata was filmed there. The house that Jun Xiang had designed in memory of his love with You Zhen was situated at Oeodo Island as well. Gosh, it was like heaven but Carolynn and I almost vomited before we entered into that paradise.

Because…

I made a mistake. I should not have eaten that cheesecake. The truth was the speed of that ferry was no joke. It was vigorously 'swimming' up and down like a salmon against waves. Carolynn was already tearing after 8.99 minutes of the ride. Just imagine there is another ferry ride after this which would eventually bring us to Oeodo Island.

2 ADVICES here.

1. Do sit at the back of the ferry as you will feel less vigorous of the movement. 

2. Breathe in and out with the movement.

This was the most terrible and expensive ferry ride I have taken in Korea. The 50-min killer ferry cost W19,200 (one-way only) per pax + a subsequent ferry ride W15,000 from Goe Jae terminal to the island and + entry tix W5,000 + a return fee by the killer ferry. In all, each of us spent SGD129 to get to this Oeode Island. But it was worth the money and the truth is that even the ferry tix booth attendant had not been to Oeode Island herself before. It was just like I had not been to the peak of Bukit Timah Hill before as well. Ha~

Another interesting thing was that the guide on the ferry (Ferry No.6) was hosting everything in only Korean and we wondered if they know that there were foreigners visiting the island.

Geo Jae Island is South Korea's second biggest island. I guess the first is Jeju Island.

I also realised that the older generation of the men and women Koreans did not eat together as couples. The women and men were sat on separated tables.

Oeodo Island was manned by 40 gardeners.

We decided not to shop at PIFF department store bcos it was already 6pm. We got back to the hostel at 7pm eventually.

You might be wondering, "What happened to Jessica?" She had decided to save up that travel fee for her shopping splurge later but today she was visiting the Busan Art Museum.  

Deposited into memory bank: W89,600 (SGD150)

Hullo there.

Especially to Kim Sam Soon serial drama's fans. If you like Daniel Henney and Jeong Ryeo Won (Á¤·Á¿ø), you gotta catch this TVC. I bet that you will Woot~
