Day Three:

 

Rise and Shine at 5.30am. Not supposed to shampoo our hair, so only washed face and brushed teeth. Was instructed to wash up the previous nite. Haha. Anyway early in the morning so cold, i rather not get myself freezed. Proceeded to the Makeup artist room, and makeup starts. As my skin is still not used to the cold weather, it started peeling. :( Even ampoule also cant do the magic this time. Therefore I ended up with a "not-so-smooth" nose coz got peeling lor. But luckily in the pictures cant really see. Had this retro+cute hairstyle by my MUA. Dd thinks it looks nice, but I thot i look farnie in it. Haha. But mum also say it looks very good, the best among all my hairstyles. Oh well, maybe I am jsut not used to it. :) Makeup finished at 7.45am, went down to lobby for breakfast, and it was freezing !!!! It was then I heard from the other couples that it was snowing last night! Booo! I missed the snowing :(  sobz sobz. But then, what awaits me up in the mountain is even better! Hee. Grab a few bites of bread and ham and then off we went for the shoot. Needed to take a cable car up to the top of the mountain, and again, it was really cold !!! Heard that it was around 2 degrees celsius, and we had to walk up all the way to the tip and start photographing. Once started, still feel quite ok, as in, not that cold anymore. Lotsa tourists there. Finished at the mountain top, then we slowly made our way to the SNOW area. Some areas are not direct to the sunlight, so there are still at least a metre deep of snow which are not yet melted. There, dd and I took some shots which both of us like the most. We build snowman, played snowballs and lie on the snow. It was really blissful! And it is a scene I keep recalling in my mind. I just love snow so much!

 

It was slightly after noon that we decscended to the mountain foot and changed into the 2nd outfit. Had a quick lunch before I changed into my short designer black gown. The afternoon shoot was quite torturous, coz of the cold weather, and I have to bare my shoulders in the tube top gown. I wouldnt be surprised if the pictures turn out kinda "frozen-faced". Coz I was pratically shivering throughout the shoot. Dd was trying very hard to keep me warm by rubbing my shoulders constantly and hugging me from the wing direction. Hee. Feel so loved. There was this stream and some big rocks, we took the challenge of leaping on this rocks to get some really nice pictures taken. Hee. Afternoon shooting lasted another 2hrs+ and finally it was time for changing and dinner! Really hungry! Dinner was the same hot pot again! But this time, there is a fish which is supposed to be quite ex. After dinner, we proceeded to another hotel near Nami Island, coz thats where we will have our 2nd day shoot. Another 1 hr plus journey, and we are there! It was a lousy hotel. Enough said.

 

Day Four:

4.00am, Rise and Shine! Not exactly that the sun is shining, but no choice, today we are in Group A. So at around 6am, Makeup done, we went to have breakfast at the hotel cafe. This time, I ate more so that I will not feel so cold! Haha. I had close to 3 slices of bread, one hard boil egg, one bowl of mushroom soup! I didnt worry about not being able to fit into my gown later, coz I THOUGHT i would contract in the cooler weather. Haha. But I was so wrong!! Did have quite a hard time sitting in my wedding gown, coz it was really tight at the tummy.

 

Took a ferry over to Nami Island. ( PG was saying that we were so lucky to be in Group A this day, coz at Nami Island, pictures taken without tourist at the background is so diffcult! (If you have watch Winter Sonata, where Bae Yong Jun and Cui Zhi Yong posed at the row of trees, you would know what i mean) And we had lotsa pictures with "flawless" backgrounds. Scenary was once again, breathtaking! After the wedding gown shoot, we changed into the traditional Korean costume (the ones u see in Da Chang Jing), courtesy of Korean Toursim Board, and we took some shots with that. Lunch was not provided that day, and Dd went to get some noodles for me, while i transform into another outfit for the 2nd part of the shoot. By then, we were both happy that the tiring shoot is ending, but yet at the same time, starting to miss the fun part of the shoot. After i changed into my Evening gown, everyone was like "wow-ing" at my "overexposed" cleavage, and I was practically pushing my "meat" to the front so that there is a shape there! Hahaha. Everyone (the girls) who saw me do that was laughing and saying that its enough to make dd nose bleed. Kekekeke. Oh, btw, we did all our changing and makeup in the round Mongolian Huts (which you see in the dramas). Yet another new experience. Hee. Coz everything was overun, the 2nd shoot of the day was much shorter, around 1 hr, and then we rushed back to the hut to pack our stuff and rushed to take the Ferry back to Mainland, because we are going to Everland (one of the world's top 10 amusement park). Over there, it was a really rush thingy as well, coz we reached there very late, ard 7pm. And we have to leave by 8.30pm for our dinner. So no choice, coz everything was overun, we jsut had one rollercoaster ride, which i was coerced into taking it by dd, and e other couple. Then we went to the gift shops hoping to search for some fanciful stuff for elthea. But I wasnt really in the mood after the stupid ride. Arghhs. That ride made me skip my dinner, and feel so miserable until we reached the Hotel!

 

Gosh, this hotel is really posh, like Conrad! Hehe. But we didnt really have the mood to enjoy the room, coz i still have like close to S$300 worth of Korean Won sitting in my wristlet! I need to spend!! Haha. We happened to know from the frontdesk that DongDaeMung open 24 hrs, and without further ado, we cabbed down to the shopping heaven. Hee. More Faceshop, tights, and clothes for elthea. And reached hotel at 4am, did the remaining of packing, leaving only 2 hrs to nap b4 we need to check out the following day. The bed was really comfortable, and before we knew it, the alarm rang. Arghhs.

 

Day Five:

The day to go home! sobz. Have to go back to reality. and The feeling suxs. Morning had a very sucky breakfast, and e other couple was commenting that it seems like some breakfast held by the charitable organisations to provide food for those poor people! Wahhahaha. It really look like that. Then breeze through the Ginseng Speciality Shop where we were caged until someone from the group purchases something. We were even forbidden to use the toilet and the lift all because we didnt buy anything! Talk about being professional! Anyway then there was this costmetic shop where we successfully pissed off the demostrator by collectively refusing any testing done on us! Wahahhaa. So Shiok feeling! Then noon time it was free and easy at Myodung. Over there, we only have 1hr for lunch and last minute shopping. Dd and I popped into this restauarant that serves Ginseng Chicken, and it was really nice! Hee. After that, ate this tall sundae where we always see in the TVs. Haha. And did some shopping with the last few thousand of Won that I have. Then its to airport!

 

Needless to say, the flight home was really sad, but one consolation is that I would be able to see my Naldo. Hahah. But he wasnt really all that happy and excited when he saw me, so sad. Anyway seeing him well and ok is all I wished for. At least, Mum took really good care of him while I was away, and I was really relieved. Having to work the following day forbids me to unpack my luggage, so I hit the bed straight after bathing.

 

Thats the end of our honeymoon + Photoshoot.

 

And we are so going back to Korea in the future!!
