the tour was so hectic i couldn't bring myself to reflect at the end of every night. or keep my eyes open during every bus trip. i didn't want to miss one sight of korea. but i missed many.
not to mention, i dropped 3 boxes full of freshly (painstakingly) plucked strawberries by my family on the rainy muddy ground. failure of the month. i consoled myself by saying Clumsiness is Cute. HAHAHA. but honestly, i was super upset lah. wanted to cry. lol.
the trip was somewhat of a selfdiscovery though. i realized i need to relax and turn down the intensity. lest my future kids learn to be as intense as me. i don't want them to live with that.
i visited plenty of places, but none got me quite as excited as a simple trip to the authentic Kbox with Hilda and friend. I've been dying to try THE kbox, aka Noraebang (translation: Song Room). and we didn't go to just ANY song room. we went to the one directly managed by the biggest entertainment company in korea, SM entertainment, handling SUJU, SNSD, DBSK. awesome stuff.
in an impromptu move, we went to the SM office itself which was in the vicinity since we were too early and the noraebang hadn't opened. the building's horrid. run down. windows plastered with papers. front door sealed shut (everyone enters by the back door). it wa such a dingy looking building. but so surreal. me, standing in front of what i only saw in photos.
i also saw thi curious looking school girl standing under a tree by the road side, tuning into her mp3. pink jacket. couldn't have been over 16. we held an envelope in her hand. i was SO SURE she was waiting for some celebrity to walk by. i wanted to ask her what she was doing, but didn't.
crap. i think i must make a new rule for myself. when i go overseas, i'm gonna to just DO everything i want to. NO DELIBERATION. and thats why i'm nto cut out for tours as well. i love being impromptu overseas. going where i will. doing what i want. anything to live up to the experience.
our world is really such a wonderful place. i feel like i've been stuck in my tiny hole, be it geographically or mentally for too long. i really need to expand. i'm going for it.
step by step. i am.
watch me.
