The Royal Edict

Decided that it's high time that i revive my blog because the previous one is dead and so wrecked that i think it'll be much simpler to have a new one than to try cure it. And of course, i know that many fans of mine are whining that their lives are made a lot less meaningful due to the abandonment of my previous blog.
And i would like to clarify that:
1. I have not stopped liking Ron, its just that he has apparated from my previous homepage and I have no idea how I can get him to stay on my current one.
2. And this webpage is simple because i think Simplicity is beauty and it's not because i dont know html.
Just a little update on what I have been doing lately.
I went on a couple of trips after A's.
First I did a pretty short Europe trip, about 12 days or so to London, Paris and Brussels. To be honest i didn't really enjoy the trip all that much, maybe because i jetlagged initially and was sleeping at 6pm or so (their local time), and fell sick the 2nd day I touched down on london. Moreover I'm not really the cram tourist attractions to visit kinda person, so I found my attraction-hopping very tiring, monotonous and unpleasant. But some places were really nice, like Palace of Versailles (approx one hour plus train ride from the city centre)- the sunset there is unbelievably beautiful and i still can picture that pinkish glow just before it disappeared into the horizon. And i loved DISNEYLAND PARIS (:- it was fantastic and such a magical place that words can hardly describe it. I think its beautiful and so well created. I was quite sad that i had to go home at the end of the day (like some pampered brat), and i even got myself an autograph book and got mickey and goofy etc to sign it for me. Call me hopeless, everyone has an embarrassing soft spot k. (Like how Stef the Monster will kiss her dogs and become so nice and gently with those furry stuff, and DJ never kicks cats. WHY.)
Belgium had fantastic chocolates. Well, I think it lived up to its name of being the Land of Great Chocs because even a chocolate-hater (yes i hear you all gasping but i usu. hate chocs) found a couple of (dark) chocolates that were amazing!! The seafood was not bad too, had a go at their mussels and they were really quite delicious although a single serving meant one whole pot of at least 1kg (ie. at least 5o mussels). But i thought the waiters had terrible service, I'm sure they would have been fired in Singapore. But no complaints, maybe its just their culture that I am not too familiar with.
Flew off for Korea 2 days after i came back from Europe, and because it was with a tour group this time, it was rather relaxing and very enjoyable. No more lugging my (and my mum's) 15kg luggages and no more dingy hostel beds with cockroaches. Moreover, i loved the food there. Though most people got very sick of the steamboat (but i cant get enough of it!) and didnt like the weather (i thrive in cold weather :P). I loved skiing and shopping in korea. Though i'm terribly bad a skiing, i kept crashing into my brother's friend and I can't really turn well, which is such an embarrassment. But it's loads of fun anw, coz he's from chinese high as well and expectedly full of rubbish. Although it didnt snow on xmas eve/ xmas night (or any other night that we were there), we still managed to have snowball/ snowlump fights and it was great fun. Shopping in korea was super ex but the stuff was interesting to see. Ended up buying alot of food (like seaweed) and lip gloss and nothing else very substantial because it was too expensive. But nevertheless I loved the trip- coach rides to catch up on sleep, theme parks are always fun and of course the land which bred Kwon Sang Woo, Shinhwa, Shin ... and many other cute guys. But the girls on the streets are disappointingly .... bland. AWW.
Went back to London on the 8th Jan for about ten days and this time it was fantastic because its their sale period and we bought back so much stuff! The mid-range brands (FCUK, ZARA, TOPSHOP, MUJI, DOROTHY PERKINS) were on sale and I had quite a wild time shopping. Bought alot of clothes and shoes (woohoo!) for me and my brother and my uncle and cousin. The weather was fantastic and arent we lucky that we flew back before the winds started getting so strong that there were casualties. Maybe they knew i didnt like getting my hair messed up hur.
Down with a fever and throat inflammation now, but still actively trying to find a job so that i can stop being a lump at home. Any good deals/ intros/ lobangs for me? (: The princess is actually finding a job. ~Gosh.
