in details ..
friday ... after we had people in politics.. *tat;s when we learnt how to run a government and how the politics in aust works..we also vote 4 the party to be our government* i'm in the democrat party .. which we won in the end ~!! oh well .. enough of that.. after voting .. pau n i had lunch at the boarding hse .. it was really rushy and i dint have the time to enjoy it .. well .. then we went to the pe centre to load our luggages onto the bus .. a few yr 1 boarders(yimpy,dorcas,belle) saved us a really nice seats . so .. there we go .. started our 6 hrs journey on the bus .. it wasnt as boring .. but compared to terengganu trip .. it wasnt as nice .. the oni special things tat i would like to comment about is that they had this toilet within the bus and a small water cooler with cups (paper cups) provided 4 ppl to drink .. . well .. i slept, stuffed myself with food,tried to read a book, listened to music .. watched a movie,"bend it like beckham" and of course chat with pau.. after 4 hrs .. we stopped by to have a walk and stretches ..tat;s when pau bot her batteries 4 the discman after realising tat her batteries ran out .. the toilet there was super scary with dim light but thank god i wasnt the oni 1 who wanted to use the toilet.. after a while .. we hopped on to the bus and headed straight to mount hotham .. the mountain where we would be skiing 4 the next three days ~!! at first i was just tired and sleepy .. doozing off most of the time .. then ... excitement started to fill me up when i first saw the snow~! SNOW~!! serious .. deliberately snow .. at the bottom of the mountain .. it was really nice and pretty as it was like spring snow .. the snow tat was in cartoon and movie ~!! really amazing!! couldnt get over it for the whole ride up till the mountain .. my eyes were stucked on the window .. looking outside the window at the snow that i first seen .. but sadly it was at night ~! couldnt really see the "bright" side of the snow .. but i was really happy and glad enough ..
about 7.30 or so .. we finally reached the top of the mountain*not really the top* the hotham village~it was kinda crowded at night with cars coming in to spend their weekend there ~ people were driving to look 4 their chalet .. but it dint take us long to look 4 ours .. after the bus stopped .. put on some warm clothings .. then went up to the chalet in the cold, snowy, lil hill before reaching the top where pur chalet was located .. after settling in .. went directly to dinner as it was prepared and ready to be served .. the first night we had fish and chips .. pretty similiar to the boarding hse food just tat we were served and we didnt need to clean up our tables or plates .. there would be the kitchen staff to serve us by bringing the food in fromt of our face and then all we need to do is to enjoy our food .. but actually it wasnt as nice and as yummy as the ones that i had in sorento beach when i went for my life science excursiion .. reckon tat's the best fish n chips i've ever had till now .. okok .. enough about fish n chips ..then we had deserts which was ice-cream with choc or caramel topping and nuts .. wasnt much to complain about .. then we settled in by unpacking our luggages/.. also we had to try on our ski hire and stuff to get ourselves ready for the next day ~! .. which was gonna be a big day .. i shared a room with natasha, pau, vanessa , sze min , jun, sindy and ashley .. jun was a joker .. she cant help cracking jokes and made us laugh none stop ..
throughout this few days .. i think i really get to know them better ..
we went to bed directly after trying out our gears as we werent allowed to shower as it was way too late ..i felt really uncomfortable but there wasnt any choice ... had to shower the next morning ..
breakfast was compulsary at 7.10 .. which was really early ..even earlier than the time tat i had to go to school >.< but then for the energy of the day .. i had to get out of my not so cosy sleepin bed ..then to the dinner room which reminded me lots about avalon .. *a place* anywayz .. yeah .. breakfast was pretty rich .. toasts, cereals, ham, eggs,spagetti and heaps of hot breakie.. unlike the cheapsake b.hse .. after the filling breaky.. went back to our rooms .. i showered (or else i;ll be such a dirty fellow) then.. get ready 4 the first day of snow and ski~!!
geared myself up .. gloves,boots, ski, poles, helmet,scarf .. etc ... step out of the chalet .. WOW ~~! it was such nice scenery .. with snow covered the whole mt. and the sun was shining gently on us .. not too burning bright .. was just nice.. many reckon it was the best weather to ski or snowboard .. the weather was hardly like tat .. well .. 4 me , who came from a tropical place.. took it for granted .. we went to the ski school .. all of us were devided into groups .. beginners,intermediate and advanced .. i'm such a blur, slow learner .. course i;m in the beginners group lar~!! with the others year 10 who most of them were from my class .. * misha,claire,roxy,iromi,anusha..* and ashley with 1 year 11 ...our instructor, nigel brought us to a flat plain .. there .. we were tot how to put on our ski and take it of incase we fell .. we learnt the basics of skiing. .. firstly.. we learnt how to ski and travel .. then we learnt how to stop ... how to snow plough .. how to turn from side to side .. and how i must lean forward against my boots.. : P then he brought us to a steeper side of the mt .. oh my god .. i nearly crashed into some1 there coz i hadnt get the control of my ski .. :P .. well thankfully the instructor managed to "catch" me before i slided to some other places ~!! at about 10.30 .. the lesson was over and he left us to practice by ourselves .. we gathered at the meeting time and meet up with our group leader who was also our teacher in charge .. (mrs. o'neill and mrs vein or some1 .. duno who she is ) they decided to let us ski at the summit which is the green run .. i went on the palmer .. which was kinda scary ., u need to put the stick between ur legs then it'll pull u up to the middle of the run .. i went up the palmer .. fell down 3 times when i was skiing down .once my skis flied out of my legs and i even lost pau's googles but luckily she dint mind .. . then decided that skiing was not my type .. thank god it was lunch time by then .. we had an hour break to rest and regain our energy .. after lunch we went to another run called Big D where it is specially 4 beginners.. we took the shuttle bus there ... the bus was really cool .. it was specially designed for it .. they had the racks to put skis next to the bus .. too bad i dint take pic of it ..then u guys can understand .. :P big d was about 5 minutes drive .. ashley and i sat together at the bus and i 4gotten what we chat about .. yeah ,, :P so.. we went up the chair lift at big d .. for a coward like me i started of really slowly at the green run .. it was just nice and not steep but then .. i dint know how could i fall down after i was just starting to have fun .. ):O well.. but then it was ok . i managed to get up ... then when i was about to put on my skis .. heaps of ppl came falling off around me~!? ! wonder why .. heeehe .. oppps not suppose to laugh ,, :P but then i helped them out as my skis were out .. then i continued to ski down the mt .. falling over 3 times.. in a really really slow manner .. heheh ash was a really fast learner and she skied very well .. she even had to wait 4 me at the bottom of the hill for 3 minutes even though we started off together ?~! wonder why .. gradually i improved and dint fall over as much .. big d is seriously a place 4 the beginners to boost up their confidence and learnt how 2 ski and of course not to 4get, snow board .. we went back to the chalet at 4 .. had an early dinner at 5.30 of spagetti and pasta ... which seriously reminded me of avalon again .. hehehe
rested 4 an hour or so .. went out to ski again .. but this time it was night skiing ,.. big d had night skiing where they turned on the spotlights .. and it was seriously a sensational place .. with nice scenery .. gorgeous view .. all plc ppl disregard groups and levels get to ski together ... pau was inter .. but we skied together... then she tot me not to be scared and just let out my courage to ski .. hahah .. i think she was even better than the instructor... :P then .. finally i plucked up my courage and dragged by her to go and have a go at the blue run ~!! ... it was really great and fun .. but it was steeper. . and a bit scary .. i fell down once .. but ONI ONCE~!! then we went back ..
that day was seriously packed with activities and fun .. but doubtless. .. very tiring and enjoyable day
