Hello! Salam Aidiladha peeps! I'm back and I'm in the mood to write about my long postponed Korea trip. I miss being outdoor so much. It has been almost two months keeping myself indoor because I don't want to be exposed to the virus but the cases, god it feels as if we are truly hopeless. Short life update: I haven't even filed my chambering papers = I am not yet a lawyer because I didn't have the pass (MITI letter) to travel to KL tsk.
Anyways, instead of writing all specific events that's happening one and a half year ago (lol @ my procrastinate self) I think I would do photo dump instead and maybe (I said, maybe) I would highlight some parts which I still remember happening. Otherwise... Well. You still got to enjoy the pictures at least. Or you can also head to my youtube channel because I created a video about my first travel experience (pls subscribe and comments also oki!).
Elysian Skii House
look at our excited face. :')
The time while we were here is spain without the word S. It was our first time and there was literally no one to guide us. We just slide through every slopes there is hoping that we wouldn't bump into anybody. I even shouted out loud "EXCUSE ME, I AM SORRY" in public because I was scared I am going to knock some innocent Koreans. But my first slide was hella fun! Still remember how I just pushed my body and slide the first slope like a wind, I was.
We had our first bad experience here too. It was during this lifting moment which was supposed to carry us down using this machine:
Aisyah and I literally had no idea we were supposed to naik and turun of the lifting OURSELVES. I'm going to explain in Bahasa now because I think I would describe the experience clearer that way.
So long story short: Masa kitaorang nak naik that lifting machine untuk turun ke bawah (sebab tak reti nak ski naik ke atas), kitaorang kena naik lifting machine ini sendiri. Cuba bayangkan dengan alatan ski yang terdiri helm (macam kasut), papan ski dan tongkat ski (lol I google-d these words), kitaorang jalan terkedek-kedek dekat lifting machine tu supaya dapat turun ke bawah. Tapi Alhamdulillah, proses nak naik tak sesusah nak turun. Tapi while we were going down, it's kinda scary juga sebab rasa tak selamat. Nak pegang phone nak record scenery pun rasa macam "uhhhmmm" but I recorded a few anyways.
Masa nak turun dari lifting machine tu yang agak menakutkan sebab like I said, we were wearing all these skiing attire which is making it even HARDER to control ourselves. Sudahlah nak turun tu, kitaorang kena angkat besi yang lindung kita dari terjatuh dari lifting machine. Bayangkan pegang tongkat skii, phone etc, susahlah nak angkat guna tangan. Jadi, kitaorang pun menjeritlah, "help, help". Tapi orang Korean tu mungkin tak faham apa kitaorang cakap (husnudzon ya -..-), dia tak tolong angkat besi tu pun, tapi jerit "your pants, your pants". Rupa-rupanya seluar Aisyah tersangkut kat lifting machine. Ah sudah. Dah nak dekat dekat dengan ground barulah diaorang tolong angkatkan besi, itu pun kitaorang terpaksa melompat, terjatuh dan tersakiti oleh Korean oppa. Hshshs.
As we reached down, there was this one slope (not really that steep, but still STEEP ok for beginners) we have to slide down. While we were both sliding down, together, we collided with each other. Bayangkan bergerak dengan laju dan terlanggar. Mashallah. It doesn't hurt but our stick and board were flying to places. Tiba tiba my board dekat atas, the stick was down there somewhere and I was in the middle. I literally had to climb my way up to take the board and wiggle ourselves down. It's difficult to have to move on ice. The helm wasn't helping at all. Dahlah stuck in the middle of the slope, you imagine. It was humiliating but somehow fun. Hahaha. Then, we just wiggled through the rest of the slope cause we were scared and late to the next destination.
happy cos I get to cross one list of my bucket list!
I thought that I would just dump photos, but it seems like I don't have enough photos to dump and I wrote longer than I should. So maybe the continuation to my second day in Seoul will be up in the next post because now, I need to shower!!!
Lots of Love, Nurzafira Sabrina.
