DAY 5
Korea
Finally.. i caught up with my self and now i will blog daily as the days go past..
5 days away from home and im a little homesick.. i dunno why but it doesnt usually happen because i always stay noraml when im at camps or overseas with friends.. maybe thats what happen when u are all alone... luckily homesickness can be cured easily by looking at photographs (selected few only)...
so it goes, i am now at office blogging.. earlier today i used some msn but now no one to talk to le.. haha.. (if YOU are reading this.. u better leave ur blog address soon.. please?) i think just like that sit in front of com everyday isnt the way.. i can take it anymore maybe i should go out? haha ... just called on some friends.. feeling was great, maybe i missed them?? no idea la.. all of them envy me so much i think they will regret it soon la.. haha.. (c'mon guys, try going overseas alone and share how u feel with me!) lol... SIAN SIAN SIAN!!!
i always wanted to say something but i didnt dare once i splurt it out i cant continue, i really need a reply... if i dont get 1, i cant move on....

woke up in the morning and watched TV.. their channels rock MAN!! haha... we have wad mega monday movie, stay home saturday movies and sunday blockbuster lol.. so we have movies 3 times a week yeah? they have movies EVERYTIME of the day hahaa..all latest somemore.. cool..
went to my uncle's office to check out his new com... $3000 not worth it la.. haha.. but i didnt dare say it, i scared he get angry.. went out to his warehouse to collect some goods but had lunch b4 that.. i ordered 순두부지개(SUN DU BU CHI-GE) or tofu soup la.. it was good and i was perfectly alright until suddenly like landmines, the spicy feeling came and it was overwhelming, i was jumping around the restaurant (i thinki i looked like an idiot) and kept drinking ice water.. i will nv forget that man..
at night i had dinner at my elder uncle's shop his food is korean-styled chinese food so its less spicy haha.. it was good but i got full too quickly so i enjoyed less of the food...
worked out my schedule later at night so its confirmed that K2 will start next week along with other activities... BUT I CANT WAIT!! they want me to take a rest now so that i will not be tired when the real thing starts.. but for those who dont know me well enough.. i am not that type who can sit around and wait and wait and wait for along time.. i get bored you know..

thats DAY 4.. wait for DAY5!!
1:41 PM
DAY 3
Thailand/Taiwan/Korea
woke up real early that day so as to beat the forecasted traffic jam... the trip to the airport took about 1 hr or so... the airport was filled with ppl taking the same flight as me haha.. after the check in i thought someone was gonna cry but luckily humans mature no one cried except little noey got a little emotional haha..
the flight is boring as usual but this time sitting beside me is an indian.. i think he up there siao one coz he keep looking at me -.-".. thankfully he was bound for taiwan not korea and so i didnt see him after the stopover at taipei airport..
taiwan airport really sucks la for goodness sake... its no where comparable to singapore's airport..its only a four wall room with stairs and toilet.. so simple! look aaround for TAIMEIs but to no avail.. the women there were OLD .. hehehe! yeah.. so the second part of the flight went on as usual... boring and blah~!
when i reached korea airport.. i was sort of excited but when i got to the immigration counter... MY HEART SANK TO THE BOTTOMLESS OCEAN... all the queues were SO SO SO long haha .. and i was at the back of the queue.. so fuck hell ! lol... i was queueing behind about 20 odd people who were blacks (not sure if they are indians or bangladeshi).. korean immigration officers seem to have something against them ... usually when our passports are checked, the officer just look and type and let us go yeah? but for them.. the officer asked questions, checked their passport with a magnifier then finally typed and let them go.. WAD THE HELL YEAH? hahah ... 1 person took like 5 mins so i had to wait for an hour b4 it was my turn...
at the baggage collection area.. i was already quite pissed with the immigration counter and i just wanna get out of there.. i waited for the belt to go around 6 rounds but my bag still didnt arrive... i BLEW my top and reported my baggage is missing with a very pissed tone.. lol.. then i turned back and saw my bag in the centre of the bags belonging to those people ( people with unknown nationality but of sensitive colour)... sian la i felt so i apologised to the counter and got out of the cursed place..
thats more or less the major happenings during that DAY!
day 4 coming!

Day 2
Thailand
Went to Nakprasith School today to greet the principal... haha she still welcomes me !! aiyah.. should be because they treat me like their son le la.. who knows?? i helped Numwan draw her pic.. turned out quite well.. haha.. some brats from the school so fucked up de.. think they so big can bully me.. lol.. but the outcome wasnt so leh..hahaha... they asked permission to leave the school to bring me go sightseeing haha...of course approved la!
their public transport is so cool.. its just a truck thing and ppl just go up and pay 10 bahts... which is about S$0.40.. and it goes a long way to some open market where i was cheated of my money..
1 voodoo doll cost 75bahts.. a dozen cost 200bahts.. what a way to do business... forced to buy a dozen... got lost soon as ppl were pushing and blah.. so i took a tuktuk (taxi from a motor) to my original spot.. its a totally new experience its perfect (if i didnt have to smell things out from the exhaust..)!
had a all fish feast... steam la fried la and everything else... it was good but the chilli is SO SOUR!!!
day 3 coming!!
5:12 PM
This is the first part of weizi's trip from Singapore to Thailand to Korea!
Enjoy reading as weizi post about his trips and also updates of his life.
For those who wanna say something but im nv there...the tagboard is available!
For those who are cursing and swearing why my skin so lame shit and old and not creative... please understand that i cant understand korean so i cant use the features as well as i could..
On that fateful day(26/11), i was at the airport and for the first time i have friends sending me off despite the departure time being so early... so touched la..hahaha...
Thai Airways is not very lousy neither is it very good.. on the plane bound for thailand, i only looked forward to take off, breakfast and landing... the rest of the trip is so boring and the in-flight entertainment is pathetic...(only music)
finally my plane landed and the following is not at all pleasant.. being a holder of a singapore passport, other ppl dun expect the holder to be dumb... however i couldnt speak thai and i definitely cant understand thai, so i had to just try my luck all the time... when the immigration officer asked me where am i gonna stay... i was speechless.. how was i to know the address of my friend in thailand, so i just told him the province and it settled everything..
went out of the gate and i saw my friends, quite happy but some mixed feelings occured as there was this stranger feeling maybe due to the language barrier... but things went on, we proceeded to take their MRT or rather BTS.. it was much bigger and better than our train system but not as good as TRANSVESTITES came onboard now and then to freak u out.. haha..
alighted at the place called SIAM... every place there has siam in its name... Siam Central, Siam Square, Siam Paragon.. haha cool eh? when shopping in the Siam Paragon aka the best shopping centre in asia... indeed it has a great ground floor where nothing is buyable as everything on the ground floor is BRANDEDLY BRANDED STUFF... a scarf could cost $90.. it gave me a feeling of VIVO CITY because its so big leh..
for dinner i went to MK restaurant with my teachers and friends.. its a hotpot restaurant (not buffet) unimaginable yeah? their signature dish is the MK SALMON lol...i tried it but it taste like a crab stick..hehehe..
i was stung on the bottom on my foot by a mosquito( it penetrate through the dead skin..WOW!) was scratching whole night..very comical ..
that was DAY 1!
