Finally in Osaka~
Left Ansan at 930 in the morning... supposed to meet woojung at Seoul Station at 1130... there was then some mixup with our KTX tickets... we were supposed to leave at 1145... but woojung thot it was 12 oclock train instead... so mad rush for 12nn tickets... it ended up to be a very rushed last few minutes in seoul... no proper farewell la... was quite sad about that... with the added fact that it was an honest mistake la.. and i felt bad that woojung was very upset that he made a mistake...
on the train.. woojung called about 1plus... to tell me about the arrangements for the ferry... we talked a bit about his christmas present and how i felt about leaving korea... and then said the goodbyes... after that as i was looking at the busan scenery going by... I couldn't help but start crying... it's like... that's the end of 5 months plus in Korea... time went by so fast...
next was the worry that we couldn't make the ferry timing... cos we were supposed to be at the ticketing at 3pm... but that was the time that our train got into busan... so mad rush for taxis and off to the international ferry terminal...
then we had a nice surprise with the ferry... it was really quite nice la.. tho the room was a bit small and hot... but quite a nice rest altogether.. and our last jimjibang onboard the ship.. then shopping at GSMart with the massive amount of korean coins we had left.. so paiseh..=) heh.. we got to osaka about 11am.. then after customs etc.. met roystern at about noon..=)
thank god for roy la.. he had the navigation done quite well liao.. so we just had to follow.. cos we were quite tired and all.. after finding the hotel.. (hotel kinki) heh.. cute name.. then we walked ard umeda area.. sat ferris wheel!! finally! heh. we debated a long time.. heh.. 500yen.. take or dont take.. that is the question...=P in the end we heck and just take.. heh. but i was thinking if only we could do it with a special someone.. but oh well.. shun qi zi ran.. then we headed for namba area... takopachi! heh. 320yen for 6.. then we saw 420yen for 12 i think.. heh.. roy super bu shuang.. so we bought that also.. hah. in the end the ojisan blur give us 16 instead.. we zhuan dao... then ate okonomiyaki also.. yumyum.. bonito flakes!!
after that came back to check in and smuggle roystern up to our rooms... the room is great la. got free internet lan cable.. which is why i can blog now.=) and msn!! heeh. the wonders of msn.. i can never survive without it... really. wanted to blog pics.. but very lazy to upload... so just text for now la=)
we ate dinner/supper a la jeju style which is dig out all the canned food.. and have a feast.. i hope the food goes faster.. then lesser to carry=) tomorrow we're gg awaji in the day.. hope it's a good day.. 7 days till sg... time goes by so fast...
this entry is super long.. hope no one is asleep by now.. i noe it's very boring.. but i decided to blog my journal entry instead of doing things twice liao la..=) hence the statistics..=)
quite tired now.. but don't really want to sleep... mind so full of thoughts about korea... donno how to sort them out...
i think i'll blog another entry to separate the thoughts..=)

1st heavy snow!
actually it was on saturday that we had the snow.. but knowing me.. 4am postings are kinda normal..=)
the snow was really really beautiful... it was a bit much.. in that walking with heels in snow is kinda tiring.. heh.. but thank god for the leather..=)
I can't describe the feeling.. of seeing the snow fall down... sure it's only water... but it's just really pretty and peaceful... it's amazing how the whole school is now blanketed in it... walking across the road is no different from walking across the field... everywhere is soft white snow..=) the forecast says it'll snow till monday.. which is great!!
snowfight!!! haahaahaa... that's the action part of it all... super duper fun... like playing in a giant ice kachang... wheee~~~~~ tomorrow morning we are gg to go Myeongdong cathedral for a service.... i hope we get to walk there in the snow..! light snow will do tho please.. heh... too much is too cold..=) and then walk ard md!!=) wahhaha. I'd post pics.. but too tired now and it's too late... another day then..=)
i have to go sleep soon... have to wake up at 8!! yikes.. oh well.. there isn't much time left.. so pali-pali wa!!!
New post in a very long time~
okie wow...haven't gone this long without making a post in a very very long while...
Lots of things happened between Nov 14 and now... it's like been almost a month. Significant highlights include... STEng Pavilion submission... once again thanks to gareth and thierry for helping us with submitting the project back in sg...
Then i took a hiatus from rushing submission and went to "Once in a summer" premiere with woojung and sue... thanks for the treat!!!=) And I saw lbh again!!! in korea!!! although it was only for a really really short time... the emo rush was still there... but I didn't go into fan girl mode.. so perhaps getting to become 21 is making me more mature then... not. haha. *grinz*
then it was back to reality and horror submission... where submission at 5pm really actually meant the next day to the koreans... it still bewilders me... but oh well... when in rome do as the romans do... but since I rushed it all out so just went back to dorm to relax for the coming exhibition crit...
then crit exhibition... where the sg profs came... prof chan and prof tse... felt like homecoming to hear singlish again..=) I didn't do too badly at crit... considering the nightmares that I was having due to slacking too much for design.. and luckily the panel liked my concept... thank god for photoshop.. i swear it saved my elevations and sections...
after crit... now that's a blank.. haha. we've just been slacking around... I did my hair! finally! I now have red hair and streaks... trust me... it really isn't as dramatic as it sounds..=) it's just a bit more jazzed up..=)
now is the mad cramming for finals... and trying to squeeze in all the possible play time... will go yeouido on wednesday.. heck abt gen structure man... it honestly isn't possible to do a project with 3 koreans who totally cannot handle english... I really tried.. but it's kinda hopeless... so let's just see how it goes...
Christmas is coming...~ I'm desperately hoping for a white christmas... lots of feelings about the festive season after reading gareth's latest blog entry... i like that entry a lot.. kinda reflects what I feel about christmas too... there are lots of ideals that i have about christmas... time with friends and loved ones... and that special someone who hasn't well appeared for me yet.. so oh well... but anyway, hopefully for us... Christmas being the last full day that we spend in korea... it will be special...keeping memories, leavetaking, well wishes...
