DAY 7 TO 9
KOREA
day 7(saturday) wasnt any different haha.. i dunno why but i suddenly said i want a korean team soccer jersey.. so my uncke and i spent the whole day to look for it over the internet and all over the city.. we went to queens road, its a rather big place which sells clothes its not a shopping centre though its just an piece of land with lots of shops side by side... the whole day was spent to practically look for that jersey but en up we didnt find any as it is very impossible to buy a short sleeved shirt in winter... haha
at night my uncle and auntie brought me to the wholesale mart, the only wholesale mart in singapore i know is the wet market or GIANT HYPERMARKET...but the one i went to is called COSTCO opened by some americans it was really big and everything is sold in bundles eg. there is no 1 packet twisties only 1 box inside have 24 packets of twisties.. take it or leave it haha... it was cool but the only thing i dun like about it is that there is one dominant brand called KIRKLAND, it makes everything frm food to clothes and even soap products... so bloody irritating..
day 8(sunday) was cool... the shopping for that jersey continues only this time with 1 more helper.. its a friend(i dunno wad other word to describe him as we dun really talk to each other) we went DOWNTOWN (as in sort of like orchad road of daegu) and many other places to look for it the best i could find is the 2002 jersey (which in my opinion is not really nice as compared to the 2006 one) which cost 45000WON which is about $75.. so i might as well forget it since i dun like the price neither do i like the design.. finally we gave up and went back to the NIKE shop in the place where i stay..unbelievably they have the 2006 jersey lol i was so happy and asked them the price.. its was about S$131 and i thought it was alright because queensway sell $140.. but they didnt have my size.. wad a pity! then they tell me they also have the 2002 one.. but i didnt really like it coz the colour all fade fade de(red become pink).. out of nowhere one of the lady took out a red red one and told me it cost 19000WON which is about S$32. lol got it cheap so might as well buy it..
after which my uncle left me with that friend.. due to the language barrier we cant seem to communicate AT ALL.. i think he got a little fed up (understandable) so i just shut up lor... he went to get a haircut while i sat there and wait.. haiz.. the salon ppl alll look so cocky use that kind of eyes and look at me but well what can i do.. i cant speak the language.. at that time i felt like i might as well go and die its really hard to survive in a country without knowing the language.. so what if i am bilingual.. its useless in so many country..
at night i had to get back to my uncles office so that friend and i took a bus there.. the bus fare is so ex la.. 1500WON per person which is about S$2.50.. lol i think its becaue that service is like 506 bah... that whole night i remained silent coz i totally cant understand what everyone is saying so i keep thinking if i should just go home or what... haizz i miss u guys alot man...
Day 9 (monday)
i went to swim on that that day this week is sort of like the start of my training regime.. lol they have a funny rule that the general public can use the pool only after 1230 pm.. i got there at about 1145 so i had to wait and wait... finally when it was time i went to the pool only to see that it is filled with OLD WOMEN!!!! lol i was scared to death but i didnt have a choice to which land i should use... so i just swam away when those women swim to me ..
* reason to why im scared
1. i scared they talk to me..i dun understand what they wanna say mah...
2. i scared they are men despo i keep thinking they have strong sex desire coz their instructor is a man with a great body
these 2 reson can scare the hell out of me le... so i kept swimming to avoid until i lose my concentration and BANG! my hand hit the line and the index finger swelled (the line here is so hard unlike the line in singapore where it is so soft and can play with it..) it hurt so much la i just tried to swim a few more rounds and i give up cos the pain is too much le.. i was so worried coz i cant even grip my fist so i thought tonight i die le la... i went home and rested my hand hoping it will heal..i was bored so i made a phonecall but that person didnt answer how disappointing...
NIGHT TIME i went for my first hapkido or k2 training... the people there quite same as ayer rajah la but the kids were more serious.. the people who were about my age were great man.. haha but i didnt talk to them coz their eyes is filled with FURY! lol.. i just talked to the older ones.. the training was tough though the normal lesson is only 1 hour... 45 mins is used for physical training.. their stretching ability is 100% everyone can split lol.. (guys better practise splitting now when i go back i will bring the training to all of u!) after the normal training.. the master took me to a one to one practise while the older ones that i was hanging out with were pratising for K1.. i practised punching yesterday it was rather alright la.. only thing is my left hand very pain so i cannot concentrate.. the bigger ones were SUPERB MAN.. i thing all of them can break 10 bricks with no problem la... haha... i went back home i felt sleepy almost immediately.. lol and my stomach ached due to the crunches..(singapore crunches no KICK la.. ) haha.. yeah
i'll tell u about todays training tml coz tonight we'll be doing kicks!
