Korea 1 : Troubling start...

My adventures brought me to Korea this time. During this trip....the phrase "Shit happens.." came out from my mouth almost all the time. hmm....

My hols started on the 10th of August....exams just ended so i took a few days off to stay away from any other human being and just relax myself. After relaxing enough, i came back to humanity and had a basketball game with my friend...and broke my glasses! I was shooting and his hands came down and smack me right in the face.....hard. so, from ONE spectacles I suddenly had FOUR. yup, four different parts that just won't correct my crippled sight. And that had to happen 3 days before my flight. The original plan was to follow my senior (that MGS girl)to a place called Suzuka, which happen to be the nearest to Nagoya airport. Supposed to travel in the morning and reach there at night....but my new spectacles will only be ready in the afternoon! So, no choice....asked MGS to go 1st....meet her there the next day.

Plan B was travel to Tokyo and take a midnight train to rendevous point. Every thing went well....in my head anyway, I dreamt a perfect journey there. My journey to tokyo was very normal, reached in the evening. But when i got there..."I'm sorry sir...the fixed seats are fully booked. Only the free seatings are available. Sorry for the inconvenience"...said that cute jap chick at the counter. I can't possibly get angry at her right?? = P
So, I've got about 5 hours till my train arrive. went round the place....found a porn shop renting videos. Went in for a look....to look at what kind of people's in it though....not to "encourage" my organ. Most people in there have that geeky look, you know, that "rice bowl" hair cut and thick frame glasses resting on plump cheeks. Also men of 40 year olds. The whole place was silent..like a sacred holy ceremony, just that this was not that holy....but i kinda understand why they are not talking to each other... what would they talk about? Sports?? Come on....

ding ..ding...ding....DING!
"Train is arriving. Please stay behind the yellow line. Watch your step and mind the gap. "
Train arrived on time, I smiled and picked up my bag, ready for my midnight journey (planning to sleep all the way)......and OMG!! What on Earth!!
The train was full of people!! What are these mutants doing in the train?? Robbing me off my comfort? What grudge have they against me??! sigh...I guess that cute chick at the counter conned me the meaning of "free seating". Well, at least i got that lil' bit of space on the floor just enough for me to sit cross legged. another guy had to stand the whole time!! My 6 hours trip suddenly seemed very very dreadful. I spent my whole 6 hours soothing leg cramps, massaging my sore neck and imagining that cute chick at the counter snickering with sharp teeth potruding from her blue lips and she had two ugly horns on her head. sigh....never trust cute chicks at the counter.
Well, shit happens.

Anyway, reached my friend's place safely.

My friend were not kind to me either....instead of letting me rest, he said....hey, let's go out and play the WHOLE day! Lucky I wasn't that tired despite the harsh train ride and i got to sleep lying down that night...sleeping properly never felt sooo good. The next morning, we were eating breakfast, preparing to depart for our 3 o' clock flight, chatting happily and one of them said....
"better check everything, passport, money.....and re-entry permit" ....
I raised my eyebrow and cocked my head and asked..."Re-entry permit? huh?"....
"Randy, don't joke lar...."
"What??! I seriously don't know!!!"...
He suddenly stop chewing his Ang Tau bread...he practically stopped moving! "Show me your passport...shit! you really don't have it!"
Well, i really didn't know anything bout it. Without the re-entry permit, I can fly to Korea but can't come back to Japan. There goes my trip to korea....sob....sob....
