ski trip today FINALLY happened.

waking up at 4.30am was totally worth it...drive there took 3 hours on the coach. scenery was fantastic, with mist hanging around the mountains and cows/sheeps grazing in the pastures by the side of the road...sun rise over the mountains and the mist slowly lifting from the grass and trees. and also sighting the first view of snow by the side of the road as we ascended mount buller...

and I had SO MUCH fun...too bad there just wasn't enough time *sigh*

now my body is paying the price of the falls and tumbles i took up on those snowy slopes. i did some 'fantastic' falls, including one that had me sliding down the slope on my front with my legs up in the air behind me.oh, and i lost control and had to hug a wooden pole for support, much to the amusement of expert ski-ers and boaders up on the chair lifts. the "bwahahaha"coming from above my head only prompted me to let go of the pole and try and look cool. sadly, after ski-ing for another 5m, i fell...again

greatest fear was falling when trying to get off chair lift with ski on. luckily nothing of such happened. yivern and i shared successfully got off the lift and ski-ed away...and we shared much laughter as we both ski, fall and tumble down the slopes of Blue Bullet 2.

it was great, even though i probably fell at least 10 times in one day. but falling down on the snow is almost painless..and so much fun.

i wanna go ski-ing again...but too bad, no such luck for me unless i fly back to melbourne (or to another country)


can't wait for photos from wing and juanna...would post some up once i get them
in the meantime, i need to sneak under my quilt and sleep...too exhausted...muscles are groaning and moaning...eyes are dry and red...
and maybe, i'll have to call in sick tomorrow if my legs refuse to work and get me out of bed.
