I had an awesome weekend!
Fell asleep while watching the Olympic opening on Friday night.
Woke up at 6.30am the next morning and prepared myself to Bundang, to my Team Manager, Kenny's house. I realise I can be quite smart cause it was my first time there on my own. I expected a 45mins bus ride but I reached there within half an hour.
Kenny was quite astonished when I called him. cause when he told me to be at the terminal at 9am, he didnt mean it real plus I'm always late for work.
He came to pick me and brought me to his house where his wife and 2 sons warmly welcome me at the door. I plan to greet them in Korean but I was a little shy and taken aback by their friendliness so I just said hi.
After a brief tour around his house and coffee, we left on a 2.5hrs ride to his Happy House in Taean. I was so tired I wanted to sleep in the car, but it didn't seem nice so I endured the whole time.
On the way,we went to Lotte Mart to get some food and drinks. Going to the supermarket with them is a little odd. I mean, who actually goes to the supermarket with his/her manager and his family?
Before reaching, I was told that Kenny's in-laws were already at the house. I got a little awkward but thankfully his father-in-law could speak english and was so chatty.
We had BBQ for lunch at the porch. The nice thing was Kenny wanted me to try BBQ-ing so that I can bring back this experience. But I only stood there for a while, less than 1min and I got on to attack the food.
His wife prepared kimchi soup and especially made me a bowl and when she handed it to me, Kenny laughed cause he knows that I dont like Kimchi. Taught to be polite, I finished the whole bowl!
After lunch, we went to the Malipo Beach nearby. It was really really nice, like those I saw in Gold Coast. If only Sentosa's beach is as clean and pretty, I won't mind getting a tan.
Dinner was soy sauce crab. I heard it's one of Korea's traditonal food. Taste was quite good until I asked if it's raw cause it is cold. And it was. oh my god, I actually ate a raw crab! I tried so hard not to think about it, and gulp down huge mouth of rice together with the meat.
I had absolutely a great time on Saturday. So well taken care of by my manager, his lovely wife and 2 well-mannered kids.

If I haven't mention, here's Wen Jing!! Super funny shanghai Intern I met in SKT. On the dreadfully sorching 39 degrees celsius sunday, we went to Hongdae and Edae for shopping. But I gave up. We ended up have red mean sherbet in Angel-in-us and Omelette rice at Omuto Tomato.
I think my head got burned. I had a terrible headache after I got home and I took a long nap. So I didn't get to work on my project this weekend!!
So not in the mood to do work now. I'm feeling so restless and dampened by ser keng's80 slides for the first IB class next week.
