the last day in korea had arrived, and we are waiting eagerly for the flight home...

<< hadn't been able to login into blogger yesterday,i shouldnt be here blogging as i started work yesterday in another department at the company my mum work at, but yesterday one of her colleague, whom me and my bro also know her, just passed away suddenly on the way to work... she's just only 38 for god's sake.... i'll never have the chance to work in the same company again... i'll eat lunch with my mom's colleagues but never have the chance to ever go for lunch with her... office politics are just so scary, even speculations on how she died flew around in the department i worked at, yet i shall be deaf and ignore them, knowing that no matter how hurted yesterday was, life must still carry on.......

hence i've decided to delicate this post in memory of my mom's friend, as well as my friend, Eunice Ong.. though it may not seem to be a glorious tribute or what, but i shall brave through the grave sorrowness that filled the air and complete my korean trip blog....

rest in peace, Eunice, you shall be missed for so much things....>>

it was crazy packing up inside the hilton hotel, and i hadnt had enough sleep as i've watched the episodeIV of star wars... breakfast at hilton hotel was quite ok, though not really world class or what... there was a last minute shopping at a so-called local production shop and a herb selling shop, i cant remember what herb, but it's still the same pattern: sealed up and fluent mandarin-speaking koreans... this convinced the majority of the teens that the places are "tourist-slaughterhouse" =_=

at the airport we bade our farewell to the tour guide and the assistant.. believe it or not i saw him back in singapore when my friend is using friendster! his friend was posing beside the assistant! wow how small the world can be?

back in the flight home, we somehow started a pillow fight as the guys r sitting the row behind the girls... lolz that was quite hilarious though.. when i got bored i whipped out my bro's PSP and started playing, typical joey a 9yo boy kept wanting to snatch it from me and play, in the process muttering stuffs like, "wow u sucked, but u won!" i swore i could have whack the living hell out of him if he's older... wonder how he was brought up... nvm...

at changi 2 kan jiong parents were rushing home, i didnt get any contacts from the teens neither do i bade them farewell too... sigh

anyway for future reference, going overseas in a tour group is more suitable for you if you are
1) lazy to plan your trip
2) more interested in booking high class hotels for sleeping
3) very interested in eating their restaurant-style meals instead of those small shops along the streets
4) more interested in sceneries than shopping
5) those who doesnt like staying at a certain tourist destination for too long
6) impatient to book the tickets
7) interested in trying out adventurous stuffs (like the jet boad and ATV in jeju, something you cannot do for a free-and-easy tour)

vice versa for those who wants to go on a free-and-easy, my guts is that free-and-easy is only suitable for those who REALLY wants to shop from day to night, otherwise tour groups will help you settle almost everything, except the time allocated for shopping...

yea i know the conclusion is abit dead, cant helped it i damn tired from working for just 50bucks a day and realising the fact that life ends so easily is a very scary thought...
