Halloween @ Our Apartment

I bumped into this Jack o Lantern as I walked into the gate....^^

Right..it's October 31st.

As night fell, I deliberately came out to see how Jack was doing...^^

♡oh...he's still smiling as I saw him this afternoon. The difference was that he was lightened up.

What a colorful autumn.

...and under the blue night skies....with freezing temperature even in autumn....we're having this year's Halloween.

Halloween @ LW

Yep.the kids and their Mom went out to Lotte World again. One of the advantages of being an annual member--hassle free from having to think about the tickets.^^ 

They've been there many times but..since the theme's always changing...so it's up to us as to whether we want to make the best use of the opportunity or not.

Hmm...good selfie, gals. 

Since it's autumn already, the skies being blue would only mean one thing: that it's gonna be a bright day. 

and fun day, too. Right kiddos? 

The 25th anniversary of Lotte World only punctuated or wait..should I say 'emphasized' this 'fun'-filled theme park. 

Finally they met their Beluga show again after they skipped it on their previous visits. Gee..aren't they bored of this? *apparently they are NOT.^^ 

The parade's changed its theme into Halloween, for sure. 

Inexplicable characters and costumes....*_* 

entertaining enough for the kids (and adults also I guess?).

Oh, well...

Seoulland (part 9): Bathed in Lights

 

The Halloween-themed park was lit up during the night. We're lucky to be there a little bit late until 7 pm. (late for the kids:) 

But, once again...this has been a great day to be with friends.  

Eyra was running towards the tree of life^^ like the one in Pandora. oh, please... 

 

okay ..enough said. Now..another group picture.

our family portrait: minus Eyra, but with Pororo coming along.^^

Halloween again

Yes, it was another Halloween in campus. Only this time, it was held by the English classes. I was passing by the corridors of FLEX center at my campus when I saw a commotion.







I dropped by to take a look at what the fuzz was going on there. It turned out to be the Halloween party or costume contest where students showed their best (read: worst) look ever.^^

It was fun to see that each class was designed differently in a such a way that anyone interested in coming in would be so tantalizingly intrigued by the idea of having to taste and drop by at each room....which I did not have time to do.

I kinda like it, though.

Instead, I was taking some snapshots of what they were doing today. Oct. 28,2011. The day when my midterm exam just passed us by^^

Everland Resort

To sum it up in one word: Indescribable!
Well, yes...that was exactly what I felt.
Well, actually I would not have summed it this way, had I not been on T EXPRESS, which boasts to be the 6th tallest wooden  roller coaster in the world. ( I should check on this whether it is true),but one thing for sure...I was flabbergasted and aghast and gasped as I realized that the first turn was 90 degrees down below in the speed that I could not describe....^^
That was the highlight of the trip to Everland.

T Express Thrilling Ride

It  happened to be the 35th anniversary of Everland

The Halloweeen fiesta dotted the parks everywhere

Felix, me, Jobirson, Emma (the sticky glued folks)

at HUFS Yongin Campus. The lake in the forest of oblivion

I remembered the fresh air I breathed there....compared to that in Seoul:)

It was worth it. the 50 minute wait in the loooooooongg queeeuee......PAID OFF.!
So, the trip to Everland was one included packaged designed by our university, Hankuk University of Foreign Studies, to accommodate the students during their stay here to 'scream and shriek' out loud..:) Nooo..of course not. what I mean is that...it is actually an inclusive free package for the whole international students currently studying at HUFS campus.
the trip was managed to show the students the second campus of HUFS which is located at the outskirts of Seoul, in Yongin are. It is a 2-hour ride by bus to the southern part of Seoul. The campus turned out to be 30 times way way much bigger than HUFS campus in Imundong where I am studying now.
Well, it was worth visiting, because it offers different atmosphere of learning. It is surrounded by hills and lush vegetation. In addition, a lake and the forest of OBLIVION, yes you guessed it, folk.....are also inclusive in the area. Hmmm it reminds me one of Harry Potter's magical spells. "oblivioso" so as to make us forget all the troubles and feel happy about something.

Well, whether it has something to do with that.....I got to check this out.

Now, back to the trip,
the international office staffs went with us along side with some students from ISO (international students organizations). Well, I should thank the university for giving me a chance to see the campus and moreover..the 10-minute-drive-from-campus: Everland Theme Park. Indeed, it was a great time that I had.
Oh...more on the pictures are in Facebook:)

Halloween Starts Early

Yes. I did not know how they did it.
In a slit of the nights...I saw lots of balloons celebrating Halloween sprung up all over the lawn in campus.
It is indeed a Halloween Party. Wait, I thought Halloween is supposed to be on October 30th...the end of this month,then....
then.....

then....as to why I am looking at these celebration all over the place?
I did not know why.
My friends told me that the fourth week of October is gonna be a midterm exam...and we won't be able to do anything during which. Well, I did not whether that is the simple reason as to why I can see the Halloween celebration starts early in HUFS, i.e. today and up to October 7!
Well, I won't get myself prone into the questions. I might as well enjoy what they have.......to offer us.
So, here are the snaps I managed to take on my way to class and on my way to have lunch today.
I should've taken more pics, though.
