Trip to Korea 16 Dec to 21 Dec 2006 (part four)



Can you see the dragon's eye? That building is called the Blue House, where the current President of Korea stays.

Looks like a doughnut right?

One for the family album

Picture below:- I always thought pictures with rows of trees give a good scenic shot

K 800i

Looks good - don't you agree?

Last Sunday (01-28-07), out of the blue, feeling a tad frustrated with my old Sony Ericsson, I decided to venture to Low Yatt that evening to seek a new phone. After discussing with a few of my friends, they had told me that the Sony K800i was the best buy in the market? Knowing nuts about it, I just walked to a counter, checked some prices and compared a few until I came to one that gave me a whole package of RM1698.00 inclusive of an upgrade of 1GB of memory stick and not forgetting, a free bluetooth - took it and paid it, and now feeling good with my new toy but not so nice with my pocket....aiks!


Well, I will have some fun with my cyber shot now, as I will be able to translate my thoughts into pictures, both sad, funny or just every day life dramas....


Trip to Korea 16 Dec to 21 Dec 2006 (part three)


Top of the mountain, snow flakes began to fall - priceless

Looks cold but in reality, its not, it was a nice calm feeling

Snow for sale? or can I make Ais Kachang with these?

An aerial shot of the snowed in feeling

The eye of the storm

Winter wonderland

Another shot of how heavy it was - snow that is

Time for lunch, outside a restaurant in a small quaint village

Landscape dusted with icing sugar snow

The ski resort

Hows this for a pose?

Another one?

Going skiing now

Posing outside the resort hotel

Entrance to the Casino Hotel
