okay now im finally feeling settled enough to blog about the trip that was almost one month ago wth

i shan't do a day by day analysis, just condensed and powerr hah. really im lazy with words now so go fb and see the photos!

kk so i left on the 10th oct and it was a rly long plane flight. stopped at seoul, was getting worried over all the late farewell messages (would they get extra charges lol!)

the plane ride was fine and we reached with our luggage and a pair of curious eyes that couldnt stop spinning around, struggling to catch a glimpse of everything lol

slept when we reach (i know thats like the dumbest thing to do when u've just arrived at a new place. but mom was a pig and i sortof became a piglet?)

dinner-ed with team members at a nearby pizzaria. good food and coach paid omg thanks mrs giam

the next day we had a welcoming session and we went up to answer a few questions. talk about impromptu LOL they asked us alot of shit that wasnt in the list they got us to prepare. but being the talented and smart ones we tore down the questions with ridiculous ease.

then in the afternoon we went to the coastal areas for a tour. was quite secks and we had the welcome dinner at some chinese place. rly i like chinese food but its yuck =/

had workshops in the next 3 mornings and made lotsa new friends. really the cultural diversity is AMAZING and i just love it.

had free time on monday night and mom and i sort of got lost lol. nah not rly since im so good at navigating. but their night culture is quite awesome plus the weather's so romantic.

had awards dinner on tuesday night where we met all the dua pai ppl lol. surprisingly i wasnt feeling pressurised and handled the conversations with relative ease (note the surprise, not the egotism im not trying to boast)
got the trophy but the next night was what we had all been waiting for...

MACbook! haha. some found it more appealing than the recognition itself LOL. but the little thing's sweet and we were quite sad during the farewell dinner.
took pics with all our new friends and left.

please there was this pool player we had 124512351234123 shots and still couldnt get the black cue in. really wanted to slaughter him cos he looked so professional and was hogging on to the table for arggggghhh

ok the next day some teammates left but mom and I extended for 2 days haha. was feeling abit weird cos i know theres much to explore but somehow i didnt feel so free and at times thought it would've been better to leave early.

but the next 2 days proved me wrong. awesome city, loved the coastal scenes, loved the night-life (though short-lived, lol shops close at 8.30 wth), loved the people, and loved the levi's =D

well we sort of did most of the travelling on foot but being the filial son i agreed to take public transport quite a few times as mom was tired =DDD

and we stopped over at hk on our way back hahahaa. awesome place loved their england LOL. HK uni was quite erm... polytechnic like? i thought it would've been more grand lol i guess i might just pick tokyo uni instead. (wow sounds like im guaranteed a place alr eh.)

okay so this sums up an awesome trip that was really awesome and made me wanna have such awesome experiences again someday woohoo




p.s. mom im really grateful for your tolerance as i've been an arsehole at times i know =/
