on 25 dec 09, long odi and makcik su'ad took the 1113 bus from daesung apt - pronounced as 'desong eh pa te ('e' as in 'emak'), and not to confuse this with http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daesung and http://images.google.com/images?hl=en&q=daesung&sourceid=navclient-ff&rlz=1B3GGGL_enKR357KR358&um=1&ie=UTF-8&sa=N&tab=wi
when we got out from the apt building, it was raining and cold... and we, being the superwomen that we are, walked in the rain minus umbrella, hoping and praying that our tudung will act as the waterproof and cold resistent newly designed, or more appropriated newly planned, tudung... by the time, we got on the bus, my tudung, pon-pon, and head were soaking wet... but in the name of adventure, and a stupid one at that, long odi persisted to stick in the cold rain without the umbrella.... no wonder this morning, while typing this note, on the 26 dec 09 around 8 am, long odi had started batuking...
the bus was full with kidz - of course itu would, this bus will take us to direct to everland... the 1113 bus actually started from gangbyeon - one of the two stations long odi regularly used in seoul.
makcik su'ad managed to find a seat, while long odi had to walk till long odi reached the last seat at the back of the bus, really, really, really back.. that when the bus passed through a bump, long odi's head hit the roof.. no la...just exaggerate here... but it felt like long odi almost hit the the roof, long odi was inches away from the roof..
one thing tak sedap about sitting at the back of the bus was one had to watch stuff that one did not wish to... first, a very drunk young man began to hit on the girls before he got off the bus...
second was the little korean drama scenes among the young couples... all moving here and there... too x-rated to describe for kak long, angah, and uda.... long odi tried to look out of the window... but long odi can't see a thing as the window was heavily tinted with mist....wished long odi had mist buster at the time...
the road to the bus terminal parking lot at everland was really jam packed with cars - double parking... so it took a little longer to reach the lot... when we were going back from everland, there were less cars parked on the side of the roads, so it was a lot easier to get out of the road leading to the parking lot.
we went straight to the ticket counter... makcik su'ad used her crediit cart, so we got discounts... it cost long odi 22000won as opposed to the original 36000won... thank you makcik su'ad's credit card;)
when we entered everland, the first thing makcik su'ad said was to find some kind of brochures or guides to help us with the parade schedule... got one and makcik su'ad started to figure out the time for the parades... the koreans like to use this 24 hour clock, and long odi who was, and still is, hopeless with basic arithmathematics, kept going on mumbling and stumbling with the numbers, when makcik su'ad finished ticking and circling the time on the guide...
anyhow, we then moved to the shops and places that long odi and makcik su'ad will throw up... so no T-expresss, DEFINITELY....
the lines to wait for all entrances were very long... we had to wait one hour to the 'rotating house' which only took us like 5 minutes for the ride... so if any of you decide to come and visit everland, come during weekdays when not festivals whatsoever is on... school and working days are recommended... find an excuse like you had to run for an errand or to do extra library research for your school project..when actually you are in everland... pontenging and cutting classes and work... kidz don't try this without long odi's permission ye.. your parents will definitely ground you for life...
we had a blast at the parade and magic in the sky firework shows... it was just plain awesome to use the 90210 slang... OMG, it was great, fantastico...
not oh my goat ye, buat oh my god.. this is an expression that long odi found that the kidz here like to use... one girl on the bus on the way back from everland keppt using this expression as filler while talking to her friends.. wonder if she knows what the expression really means
back to everland, when we got out of the alpine restaurant ..don't be fool by the name, it served korean food with the helpers dressed like the characters in the von trapp family in teh sound of music...it was snowing..
first, tiny flurries, then it got bigger by the time the magic show finished... long odi finally got her wish... white xmas in seoul or kwangju to be exact
so kak long, kak ngah, uda, haidah, emi, along, angah, and adik can see lots of picts with tiny white dots in long odi's xmas's album...
the snow did not stop till long odi and makcik su'ad reached the house... and long odi dreamed of it the whole nite
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz ssssssssssssnnnnnnnnnnnnnooooooooooowwwwwwwwwwwwiiiiiiiiiiteeeeeeeeee xxxxxxxxxxxxmmmmmmmmmaaaaaaaaassssssssssss
