Intrinsic habits of my life.(haha)

I'M BACKKK :D Actually I was back on 281209 and I totally can't remember the places I went to chronologically. Haha, I feel too lazy to find out which places I went to in chronological time so whatever.
The tour guide brought us to yeoju premium outlets where there was a sale with discounts. But then, the prices are still very expensive, and prolly more expensive than singapore's normal prices. All the sports stores' prices were obviously more discounted. I bought a hat from accessory london or something for 5,000 won :O then later I actually READ the tag on the cap that it was from ages 9-13. HAHA wtf I'm just 14 already.
Went to dongdaemun's doota where I remember buying keychains which also could be used as pendants. The uncle at the store thought I was local cause of my pronunciation. Cause my first sentence was "how much is this?" he told me the price and then said something else which was fast and I didn't understand. Then I told him I didn't know much korean. Then he said that I spoke korean well, and asked me where I came from. (As a korean wannabe, I saw the fireworks shooting into the sky. That really got me high for the rest of the day HAHA) Then as I was leaving after purchasing the keychains, he gave me two bead bracelets and wished me merry christmas. Best store owner ever HAHA. I also bought two sweaters: a long grey hoodie with pink print for 12,000 won :O and a white sweater(normal length) with a big red star in the middle and more read stars spamming the inside of the hood. HAHA. Jess agreed it looked communist D; after buying my key chains we had to rush outside to get into auntie kyesuk's car to head off for dinner at a korean traditional house-restaurant:)
I was also dying to buy those winter boots everyone wore. The ones that looks like cloth or sth with fur inside? But they all cost about 30,000-35,000 won. I didn't have much money lah. So cannot buy.
OH YEAH,I went to some ATV thing where we didn't snow sledging in this circle thing. It looked like a little mini blowup boat. I went down the slope 4 times. :) Oh, and the guy working there was realll good looking. -laughs- Oh and there was this uncle in front of me talking to this other auntie (they're koreans lah) then there was a group of girls in front of them making a lot of noise and speaking in chinese. Then the uncle was like saying how noisy they were and trying to guess with the auntie where they were from. Then the uncle towered over one of the girls in front of him and asked her: "중국?"
"huh?"
"중국?....china?"
"no! malaysia!"
-turns back to auntie- "아~ 마라시아~"
guy working there: -blows whistle- "출발!" -the whole first row of people in front set off-
-uncle kicks the girl(in her sledge) forward to move her into first row faster-
"deng yi xia. deng yi xia!"
-uncle still kicking-
HAHA I found it so funny. But I can't remember if the uncle pushed her all the way down the slope.
Later after that, we went to phoenix park to ski. I actually wanted to try snowboarding. But the photographer man, aka. lil bro/dongil, said the last time he tried snowboarding he dislocated his shoulder. Ouch. You know right, I was just standing on like a 10 degree angle gradient and then I can just fall. I fell SO MANY TIMES OKAY. And some singaporean crashed into me while snowboarding. My mum said : definitely NOT a korean. IDK, ~~skiing~~ snowboarding has sparked my interest. HAHA. Cause all the good looking guys snowboard and they're really good at it. But I find it funny that you can tell the skiers and snowboarders apart from their dressing alone. From what I see, the skiers wear the normal gear like you and I would. But the boarders wear damn hip hop okay. And most of the colours they wear are very colourful and bold. That day, I only saw countless rainbows. And they're in the cold they wear their pants until it's really low. They wear their pants to their hips and then a longgg hoodie that covers their butt. Ahyah it's really long lah. There was this cute photographer from idk where haha. And OMG the skiing gear is SUPERRR HEAVY. When the guy at the rental gave me my shoes I couldn't even lift them up. LET ALONE ADDING ON SKIS. I am that weak. Haha. Oh yeah after dinner we went to mont blanc, the advanced slope for skiers and snowboarders. It was freaking cold and that was the first day we experienced so much cold. The snow was about one foot deep I think, and it was snowing much heavier and it was continually windy. We couldn't stay up there for more than 10 minutes. It was -3 degrees btw. And I was wearing my canvas converse shoes. Jess told me how dumb I was, wearing those HAHA. The tour guide told us that it takes at least a year for the koreans to go down the advanced slope. It's super dangerous and when you go down the slope your speed is 12m/s. The beginner's slope is already steep for me, it's about 45 degrees angled slope. We stayed at the hotel in front of the snow park and I could see phoenix park from my window. The slopes, were BIGGGG. Unfortunately, some people didn't realise there was a heater in the room. Some people like me and my whole family. So we ended up sleeping in the cold. The temperature in the room was 13 degrees. The next day the whole place was -10 degrees. Ever since that day, I've gotten used to the cold. And couldn't feel much difference whether it was minus degrees or not. Cause most of the time it began to be minus. And the winter clothes I bought, are really warm. I am amazed at how great manufacturers are to make such "normal" clothes be so warm.
I went to lotte world and I saw BIG BANG's, RAIN's, DBSK's HANDPRINTS ON THE WALL. Along with their stuff. I screamed and ran over to compare the size of their hands with mine. I think Jess' hand is bigger than theirs. But I didn't take a photo. I guess I was still high on trying to compare hand sizes. So there was no time. I went out to magic island and it was superrr cold. At the bridge I was asked to take a photo for a really cute couple.(they looked great together!) Then as I was standing right in front of them holding the camera, I was thinking "crap how to let them know when I'm snapping a shot" then I remembered some other korea kid taking a photo of his family, a few days back saying "1,2,3" in korean.(the flashback took a few seconds) So I just did that lah. HAHA. Then the guy said 고마워. And I just nodded my head lol. I look back thinking if I should have told them to say "kimchi" like what lil bro used to tell everyone while taking a photo. HAHA.
Okay, I can't remember anymore stuff already. Korea was really fun. People regardless of whether you are crazy or not over it, you should go! Cause I had a blast of a time. Oh yeah I especially loved the short-grain rice there so I bought back a 2-pack instant rice thingy where you microwave it. I just ate one of it yesterday for lunch. <3 korea and korean rice.
