Then we went shopping at Myeongdong shopping street... It was so damn cold, that I kept asking my goddaughter whether she's cold and kept on making her go into the shops cos there're heaters in the shop. Nearer the end of the street, when we said we'll turn back, and that's where I saw Krispy Kreme!!! And I was like running towards it... It's like warmth and hope in the cold haha... Then when they gave the free donut as usual... Mmmmmm.... Heavenly...
Then at night we went back to Baskin Robbins to eat our chocolate fondue and icecream. Didn't stay long outside cos it was cold, so we went back to pack cos we'll check out the next morning. Helped two students squeeze their stuff into their luggage... I'm amazed at myself too... the way I stuffed their things for them... My mum and sis are even better... but I think my skills are good enough for those kids haha... Then almost everyone came to our room, saying they want to stay up the whole night playing card and chatting... but well, too tired la... as expected they couldn't last, went back to sleep at around 4am.
The next morning, I made sure my daughter was well wrapped up with any extra woolen clothing, woolen socks and stockings that I have (of which she has none of the above). So she's well wrapped like a dumpling before we went off for lunch. Our bus couldn't start after lunch... So my choir girls started singing haha... then it went on to worship songs and on and on, and I took many videos of them singing... We were supposed to go the the first Methodist Church in Seoul... but because after waiting for an hour or so, the bus still wouldn't start, so we took a walk to the 'Ladies Street' instead, and did the last bit of shopping.
We had to change bus, but the new bus was so bumpy that I felt nauseous within like 5 minutes. So silly... with the other bus, nothing happen for 2 hour bus rides, but with this new one, 5 min I KO. So I didn't get off the bus when they reached the church. I think some didn't even know I was sick... Most thought I was too fast asleep or too cold or too lazy to get off...
Whatever it is, I survived the trip to the airport, where we stopped at a supermarket to buy all the local goodies and spent the last of the money. When we reached the airport, that's where the exciting part starts... The moment we passed the customs, we had to RUN to the train and the RUN to our boarding gate... WHY? Because our bus broke down and so we were late... Imagine running with all the winter clothing still on inside the airport which has the heater on...
The moment we boarded the plane, we started to take off layers and layers of clothes... Too hot la... Cannot stand it... After take off, one of the boys fell sick... I think he felt so terrible that he was totally curling up... Must have caught a cold after the running and sweating...
The journey home was so long... when we touched down, I was so happy... finally... Positive, Double digit temperature... WARMTH!! HOME!! Finally. Went to buy liquor for a friend... First time buy liquor lor... Felt so 'SUAKU'... Luckily my girl tell me to buy the cheaper one... otherwise I would have bought the $100+ one... which I think my fren has no money to pay me.
Even before go home still go problem. One boy left his Krispy Kreme donuts under his seat. Sigh... Duo1 Zai1 Duo1 Nan4... So went to lost and found... Eventually got back his donuts after almost an hour... with only 4 out of the 6 left. I told him should have scolded the person, but he said he no strength le... The cleaners or crew must have found it, thought nobody wants it so started eating already... Should have told them to pay up.
Finally... My journey is over...
Sorry lah... I know I don't blog often and wheneve I update, it's an extremely long essay. =P
