A trip to wonderland..... of sorts O__O

hello there mateys! This is Xan signin in to blog about my latest conquest.... trip to ktown galleria mall!!! woot~

Ok first off, we had to do alot of chores before goin, so me and g helped each other (actually tbh, i asked for his help due to i was always asked by my uncle to help him out, so its like this: uncle > me > gerard @.@)

but thankfully, we finished like around 2pm (which i was aiming for 12nn T_T) but its ok, betta late than neva i might say xD

so there we are, gettin ready to go! all i had to do for now is withdraw money (cuz idk if they only accept cash, checks or debit/credit) but i just needed to be sure (since idk the place, and idk where the bank maybe located)

so there we are driving... we were bored as the trip progressed, so we took a pic (due to the traffic, dont try this without adult supervision/experienced driver, cuz you will be driving with 1 hand in the freeway)



ok arrived at the place, it was huge (from my pov, cuz i wasnt expecting a mall/market, i taught it was just a small mart xDD) but nevertheless, somewhat smaller than most malls i might say, but still good

sadly couldnt take pics of the entire mall due to prohibitions of the owners, and some other stuff (bein shy, looking like tourists, etc lol) but we did some things while we were there!

First off, i bought a korean - english expressions book, its in hangeul, but im learning to read it, so i bought this instead of the usual english-korean translation. just turning things around hehe (btw the guy was wondrin why am i in there cuz everything he sells is in hangeul hehe) i told him "gomapsupnida" and bid farewell... he looked confuzzled (word invented by hdb J! haha can't help using it xDD)

---Picture gonna be uploaded soon, please be patient---

after that, we went inside a music store!!! woah they have lots, from soundtracks of k-dramas (saw iris, seasons of love, lovers in paris, and all other dramas ^_~) to kpop (woot! saw suju, boa, rain, 2am/2pm, shinhwa, and snsd!) and some boxed sets of k-dramas! (they have queen seon deok, princess ja-myung, etc) but i was determined to buy all albums of SNSD! so i got 4 of their released albums by far (2 mini, 2 main) and got myself (and g) a poster of their latest album, OH! The vendor lady was so nice, she gave me a mini-membership card (ofc, cuz i spent like 80+ in there, she treats me like a regular lol)

---Pictures of albums coming soon, please be patient =P ---

then me and g got tired, so we got ourselves some food! we were so hungry, from the cleaning, to the traffic, and the shopping... so we got 3 things, shrimp fried rice, fish cake soup, and dumplings! yum yum yum =)

--- picture of the food coming up shortly... again please be patient---

this is our pose after eating (lol alot of peeps looked at us cuz there was a clicking sound from my camera hehe)



after feeling full, we went around, theres alot of mini shops, mostly costly stuff, but there was (brief description) a salon, food plaza, mini-stores, music and book store, health and research stuff, stalls, etc)

then we got creative / reminiscent. due to my friend's pic / pose, i decided to tell g to pose in a position we wasn't sure if he could do hehehe... but i insisted otherwise, nevertheless it was a good pic! (this is the suprize J, hehehe 2.5% aegyo ftw!)


(dunno y it turned sideways, html phail ftl....)

and heres my pose, idk if it was done before, but i was tryin to make the "y" letter (for yattah!!!!, kinda like hooray in japanese, when you reached something you havent done/gone before hehe)


-------------------------YATTAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!--------------------

then finally, went down to the actual market to buy groceries, i had a couple of things in mind, but i bought things that were recommended / lokked good by a friend of mine (yup you know who you are lol) but in any case, enjoyed the whole shopping thing so much, we went twice/thrice around the entire mart (lol)

heres a list of the things i bought (if my memory serves me correct0
-soju
-raspberry wine
-clementines! (tiny oranges)
-metal chopsticks (1 set)
-cooking wooden chopsticks
-bath stuff
-pens
-assorted goodies! (ice cream, carbonated drink, etc)
-korean snack!
-baby carrots!

---will post some pics when i get the chance, but atm, please be patient lol---

after that, we saw snsd doin their oh! song in the tv in the market! woot~!

then lastly, went in the bakery to buy a cake for my gm, it was somewhat special, and i enjoyed the time! ohh ill try to post the cake pic as well, but not atm, due to time constraints... but hopefully i can do it tom or so lol
