#70 Butterfly Milk Paradise

Posted in FRIENDS, GREEN, PICTURE by karolyn on August 25, 2010

LEEHYUKJAE ! ♥

hahas i didn’t know what to write as the first sentence/word for this post, so i’d say eunhyuk suffices. (: i had the highest productivity rate out of me, min & lin. i saw (my) hyukkie for 10 hours (: & although there’s the smiley there, but i assure you TEN HOURS IS NOT ENOUGH. & i have no idea why, but i became a shawol halfway through my korea trip. taemin ♥ but the korea trip was awe-waitforit-some & yet non-awesome at the same time. paradoxical i know ! i managed to spend almost every single cent i have. (save 25 sgp cents & 100won) was prepared to beg for money for my overweight luggage. so anw, my butterfly milk paradise trip unfolds.

so i guess the proper way to do this is to blog according to days, but i swear the days seem all the same (except weekends that is) we had our proper daily (i mean nightly) schedule planned out. which revolves around shopping, suju & food. i prolly consumed 40litres of strawberry milk in my 20 days there, it was my green-tea-replacement & sgp milk can’t compare really. & please if you’re in seoul MUST EAT CHICKEN, FRIED CHICKEN. sgp’s can’t compare, even kfc (& i’m a HUGE kfc fan, ask anyone). of cos eat kyochon chicken (suju) or mexicana chicken (SHINee) :D support them !

so the trip started off with tons of last minute packing on both sides, but min was worse than me HAHAS. so 5th june, thanks to the availability of cars we managed to reach the airport safely & soundly & more importantly on time. (: checked in & both of us tweeted before boarding the plane. & we were lucky enough to get last row seats so no one was behind us & we could lean all the way back. (:

& of cos what’s a trip without a tiggr tagging along ! (: he’s enjoying his first sunrise on an airplane.

so after touching down, we grabbed our luggages, boarded the bus & headed down to the guesthouse to check in & freshen up !

& then we took our first korail ride. & since we ARE foreigners, snapping photos w the adverts along the way there. :D here’s f(x), 2am & nichkhun (:

& our first stop (at my request) was everysing at myeongdong. but it was extremely disappointing. i thought there would be so much more stuffs available, but it was jst basically disappointing. ): i bought very little from there, especially since hyukkie doesn’t have many good photos of him. & my taemin craze hasn’t emerged yet.

trudged around myeongdong (f21 !!!!!) & then headed back to the guesthouse. & on the way to the myeongdong station i found my favourite store. (didn’t snap a picture, dammit). we revisited them alot of times :D it’s this store called ‘record’ & i bought ALL the suju albums there, BIC3, lucifer, come into the world etc etc from there. on the first day itself, i spent prolly 300 there ? i got a 90 degree bow in return, hahas ! :D

we went to sukira on that day absolutely forgetting the boys were out of the country. -____- hahas, i got so excited for noth, but no complaints cos we managed to find our way there on our first try, didn’t even get lost or anyth ! :D so we went dongdaemun for night shopping & almost everywhere was closed -___- ended up at migilore where i bought ummm, ALOT. D: went back to rest after that ! & my legs died after day 1. i’m really a lousy shopper cos i have no stamina for shopping. we rested alot on the next 19 days after that cos i couldn’t take it.

the next few days were blurred to me, we jst went around seoul shopping where we had this huge role reversal. i spent so much while min was so disappointed. D: but thankfully on the last week or so we went dongdae at night where min managed to spend all her cash as well (i don’t know if i should smile or frown, uhhh).

we finished myeongdong & then namdaemun (disappointing, left without buying anyth except for my ozil jersey, germany ftw !) & then coex mall (extremely disappointing. we didn’t get anyth if i’m not wrong), apgujeong (i found my favourite buy there ! & min loved apgujeong, i think it was the best shopping area for her !), dongdaemun, express bus terminal (10,000 won shoes !!! i caved & bought 1 pair of heels). i think that was all the places that we went. honestly all i cared about was making sure we reached sukira in time. :D

we went successfully saw sukira for 5 nights. & each time hyukkie walked into the studio my heart skipped a beat (: but on the first night he had such a grouchy & black face (& the black face sticked with him throughout mucore the next day), seriously don’t know what’s wrong. but the next 4 times we went he was all smiles, like a normal hyukkie.

sukira night 1 : 9th july 2010 friday. we were nooblets there & everyone grabbed good standing positions. we learnt from them for the next few nights :D i must tell you how hard it is for me to not upload every single photo i snapped of hyukkie okay ! please appreciate my vetting ): ): day 1 no expertise/experience yet so only 6 photos are nonblur, hahas !

so day 2 ! (: so exciting :D:D we learnt from our 1st day experience & “stole” dustbins to stand on, next to the fixed benches there. :D

& before they left the studio, lee teuk went to take a photo of his & hyuk’s cardboard thingy, while all the cameras turned to take teukkie taking himself, i faithfully focused on hyukkie & hee hee :D

3rd sukira visit ! (: so hairpeez !

4th sukira visit ! i had a photo spam cos i got a fricking good spot !!! :D heehee plus hyukkie moved the mike away from him whenever the music’s playing (:

see how clear my photos are ! fricking good spot indeed ):

last sukira visit. wanted to keeeell myself cos my camera wasn’t charged plus didn’t get the prime hyuk spot ): & my fav mblaq member was the guest & i din like him then…. ugh ):

end of sukira(s). reminiscing makes my heart drop cos after we left so many things happened ! most importantly hyuk dyed his hair back ! ): i didn’t get to see it live, ugh. & he brought choco to sukira omggg ! ): can’t believe i missed thaaaat. PLUS SHINEE TOOK OVER NARSHA’S RADIO for a day. & TEEN TOP WERE GUESTS FOR NARSHA’S also ): ): omgg depression.

but anw, the last bit of this trip. the only touristy thing we did, hahas ! LOTTE WORLD. (: depression after not getting tix for the first inki, we decided to go LW the next day. (also because my legs were in dire need of a day off from shopping, it was begging to be chopped off really)

entering LW ! (:

utterly amused by the amount of siwon (horses) there ! hahas :D

extremely excited for some tourist shots :D heehee

i was smelling the flowers, not being retarded !

that round thing was heavy okay !

i’m in the photo jic you don’t know, hehs

& of cos the most important parts, THE RIDES !

my favourite (in terms of prettiness) – the carousel !

the pirate ship, one of min’s favourites. it went positively 90 degrees, omg.

random indoor rides

moving outdoors ! where the rides are more fun – in other words skary !

scariest two rides of my life. min was krazy for taking the gyro drop TWICE.

random photos of lotte world

END.

i wish i really had extended 8 days instead of 2. 8 more hours of sukira, 3 more music stages. & of cos can see happy taem. ): i regret, their up&down perf is so cheery that i love all of them (being so rare as they are). & of cos i’m killing myself for camping for ss3 tix at the wrong time ): & of cos the fact that smtown concert is also here & but i’m not there. zzzzzzzzzzzz ): depression.

but of cos going for this trip & finding out about teentop… (: chunji jjang ! :D:D heehee

but school has started & whoo boy the workload is krazy. so off to study for my korean (:D) language quiz tmr ): ): plus of cos i’m gg to be late for yoga soon !

#21 colour overdrive,

Posted in GREEN, PICTURE by karolyn on October 17, 2009

today, jst for the heck of it, i decided to search flickr for photos tagged/with the description “happiness”. i saw alot of photos of people with huge grins/smiles on their faces, plenty of jump shots, wedding shots, gleeful children, heart-shaped things. it amazed me how different people see happiness differently. (:

so today i realised happiness comes to me when i see colours. plenty of millions of different colours. & although i can’t stand seeing yellow/orange alone, when i see the with red, green, blue, purple, black, white, pink, silver, gold, etc etc, it makes me feel happy (: (:

so hairpee right ! the combinations of the colours are jst making you smile widely right ! (: (: (:

but i realised that GREEN makes me happy whether it is alone or with other colours. i now know that i want GREEN balloons for my birthday.

& if i ever have a party, the theme would be GREEN (hahahas, i can see sam cringing in disgust alr) i want to go out one day dressed fully in green (: green jeans, green skirt, green shirt, green accessories, green bag, green shoes. i’ll do that on the day i feel the downest since green cheers me up so much (:
