Dear Lasses!
Mrs Tomohisa is back from the fabulous
I hereby declare that now is absolutely the best time to go
Why?
Because in
It’s the BBF era in
Eat your heart out dear.
Day 1
The moment I stepped into the
Then suddenly, kim bum’s face appeared!
He was playing with clay and pottery.
I was like….wait! who was that? Kim bum? Pottery?
Oh. My. God.
But the bigger ‘Oh. My. God’came in a silent scream when KIM HYUN JOONG appeared beside kim bum. ^^
It was a F3 (excluding Lee Min Ho) commercial on handphone.
The first step into
If that’s not a good omen, I don’t know what is. ^^
Before boarding the tour bus, we went to shop around at
There are ENDLESS facial products shops, so we were like walking aimlessly.
Until someone caught my eyes again.
(cue Dear to scream now)
A handsome, charming man with permed hair.
Yes! Lee Min Ho.
His facial products endorsement was in a shop called Etude House.
Therefore, in a lustful manner, I proceed lustfully towards the charming man.
I thought my luck would end here.
But no…
The next thing I knew, my lustful eyes caught sight of a
(cue Dear to scream in delight now)
JIHOO was on more than one magazine cover.
So I was standing in front of the bookshop, pondering impulsively about a serious question: Should I purchase a magazine in a language that I absolutely cannot understand?
In the end, I was forcefully dragged away from the bookstore by my friend.
Hmmmmppff.
You can be sure that after my THREE continuous sighting of BBF boys, my eyes were opened wide with anticipation.
We went to amusement park straight away.
In that instant, I become a female pedophile.
That day, lots of young Korean students went there for school excursion.
Instead of taking photos of the surrounding, I was frantically snapping away at those young Korean boys.
Hahahahahaha.
XiaoA, you will be pleased to know this: 80% of the average Korean boys looked like Lu Guang Zhong! Really! They all have the Lu Guang Zhong geeky hairstyle and wearing his black nerdy glasses.
Occasionally, I will spot some HIGH quality eye candy.
Bless my soul.
However, at crucial times like these, my fingers weren’t fast enough.
Damn.
Yes, I admit that my pedophile behaviour wasn’t very discreet at all. Hahahahahaha.
Conclusion of the amusement trip:
It’s an ideal place for first date.
I can just imagine Jihoo and I going for all those sweet rides where we can sit down and hold hands. ^^
But we never got to go on any exciting rides, because all those Korean students are too overwhelming in numbers.
Besides, I rather sit down and look at them instead.
As we were running at a breakneck speed to meet our tour group at the allocated meeting place, this shop called Gothic Gifts caught my attention.
Ironically, there’s nothing gothic about the products or interior design of the shop at all.
Instead, it’s all sweet, dainy and pink.
And then when I saw the Etude House AGAIN, and this time round, in the middle of an amusement park, I knew it must be fate.
This is just a small mobile version outside the bigger stationary main shop.
Ps, after this, throughout the whole trip later on, I realized Etude House is everywhere.
EVERYWHERE.
And all of them took on different shop front. Makes me wonder about how the headquarter Etude House looks like. Maybe it’s half the size of
Some are really dreamy.
And I met Gu Junpyo.
Yes Really.
At the Etude House.
I even took a photo with him to prove it.
(cue Dear here, snoring in disbelief)
When I stopped in my track to stare at the pin-up real life size of Gu Junpyo, I saw the lady smiling knowingly.
All the Korean female students got the same hairstyle.
They are all adopting the Jandi’s fringe.
Did I say everyone?
I mean EVERYONE.
重头戏of the Day 1: 花样男子之旅
Also can be known as : 我与金贤重之命中注定我爱他
Most disappointing part of Day 1: we went to a zoo.
Yes. A zoo.
The place I loathe and dread most in the world.
Why would I want to go to a zoo for?
And in
Who cares about the first elephant who understood Korean language?
Who freaking gives a damn about the dancing bear? (ps, the bear is taller than yaoming when it stood up on two legs.)
Who want to freaking see the baby of tiger and lion?
Apparently to them, it’s a rare union. Tiger and Lion mating.
I don’t give a damn.
Chey chey chey.
All the girls in
But their face is plump!
Flowers are everywhere in
You know in
In
That means, IF someone has a car accident in
The ski resort was the filming site for winter sonata.
Apparently, the hotel is associated with the drama too. And the tour guide told us that this hotel got Bae Yong Jun face everywhere.
EVERYWHERE.
There are posters of winter sonata everywhere in the hotel.
At the hotel lobby gift shop, there are sales of huge towels with Bae Yong Jun face printed on it. Who will want to buy? Ding Dong.
Day 3:
While we were waiting for the Jeju flight, JIHOO appeared on TV.
It’s a chicken commercial.
He looks 100 times more delicious that those fried chicken.
Upon instant arrival, I saw this:
And immediately another girl in our group becomes hysterical.
Due to this, we bonded. After that, we were inseparable throughout the trip.
Exchanging precious information about the BBF boys and gushing about dramas.
See the power of BBF fever?
Ps, Jeju air stewardesses are so pretty.
This 40 year old Dad with two adorable girls, age 4 and 6, were flirting outrageously with the jeju air stewardess. The thing is, his wife is sitting 2 seats in front, minding the girls.
I was very amused.
Most anticipated tourist site: Teddy Bear Museum
The girls:
The photographer of this tour group:
I like her, she’s cool.
Her name is Amy too.
I like all Amys. Especially the one reading this. ^^
She looks 70% like a boy from faraway, especially when she’s smoking.
She’s a Korean, 23 year old, studying at university.
Being a photographer is her part-time job.
In title, it’s a cool job.
In reality, she’s taking on the duty of a 跑腿妹
She has to help take our luggage.
During mealtimes, she has to go round refilling our side dishes.
Normally, a typical Korean meal will consist of 1 small bowl of rice with 7-8 side dishes.
During tour time, if someone went missing, she has to run around searching for the missing person.
In conclusion, her glamorous photography job is tedious and doesn’t pay well at all.
She only get paid for the photos, and providing we buy them in the first place.
All these extra things she’s doing, doesn’t bring in a single cent at all.
Day 4:
Hotels Accommodations are to be applauded.
Got 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and 1 living room, with a tiny kitchen.
It’s like a tiny house!
Today we are staying at a resort next to the beach.
Right next to it.
All the TV shows are so interesting.
Always got
On this 4th day, got the NHK channel.
(cue dear to pay attention here)
The programme showing that day is the shounen club premium.
You know, the one where yamapi, tegoshi, koyama will individually go for the 1hour long interview. Yes, that one.
But that day, the guest was some random singer (Hiroshi Tsuchida) , probably not JE guys.
Tibit information for Dear here: the host is a member of Tokio, and is rumoured to be dating Abiru yuu. Yes, THAT Abiru yuu. Pi-chan ex girlfriend.
Commercials are the most anticipated!
There’s this particular kimbum and kim hyun joong one where it will keep on repeating. But it’s so short, that I don’t even know what they are trying to advertise.
Oh and variety show wise, got lots featuring DBSK, but don’t have SS501. Tsk.
The jandi’s sidekick got so many endorsements!!
Day 5:
Today, we are staying at a
The hotel got 2 bedrooms, 1 living room again.
When I was in the other bedroom, I heard the name ‘GU JUNPYO’ on TV.
IMMEDIATELY, I rushed out into the living room, and indeed, it wasn’t my illusion.
Lee MinHo really was on TV.
It was a broadcast of his fan-meeting signature event.
Later on, that least significant BBF member appeared, and LeeMinHo seems genuinely happy. Both of them started singing one of the BBF theme song.
After Lee Min Ho disappeared from TV, I saw someone even more shocking!
LEE KUAN YEW.
They were doing a summary of PAP’s achievement on the Korean channel.
Anyway, after 5 days, I already managed to restrain myself from screaming in sheer delight at the mere sight of any BBF boys.
Day 6:
Today hotel room isn’t nice at all.
Maybe because we are accustomed to having a tiny cottage style of room type all to ourselves. Anyway, its BBF day on TV again.
They are showing the phenomenal of BBF era. In ENGLISH.
Therefore, I was doubly pleased.
The 4 boys and 4 girls of the drama are deemed as kings and Queens of
I recorded it on my camera.
It’s a bit…..ok very very shaky…because I was too excited.
I think I spend more than $850.
I lied and told my Dad that I ONLY spend $600, the amount ‘we’ agreed on.
In the end, only got 400 korean won leftover. Which is 40 cents Spore money.
The bad thing about the trip: I put on 1 kg.
The cool thing about the trip: On the return flight to
So we can choose the seats we like, and they were showing INKHEART on the plane.
They even served icecream (Rasberry cheesecake) for desert. That was unexpected, so I was over the moon.
I wanted to post 2 videos I recorded.
But it is taking 4 billion years to upload…..so I shall post it some other day.
