snow snow revolution
do do do.. snow snow snow
went on a last minute snow trip with the Tan family, well half of the family anyways, jel, adrian, tracey and partner (chris). i dont think id ever spoken to tracey before.. although id met her a few times..
so anyway i had to lug all my gear on a bus out to kensington to hop on a bus out to Smiggins.... (the trip was organised by the South Juniors.. which i recently found out was a regular hang out of my parents when they lived out in Kingsford.. back in the day). hopped on the bus and was nigelised out the back next to some old man who couldnt sit straight in his chair =p i basically spent the ride deforming my spine by trying to sleep on the bus... and watch lord of the rings.
for the first time ever, i stayed on the snow.. schweet... and it was good to be able to wake up and jsut walk across the street and hop on a lift. the lodge was really nice and the ppl were cool too. cos i was so late i got stuck in a room full of random asian girls who knew every1 cept me =p they seemed nice though.. hehe. the food was good too.. cooked brekkie .. xmas turkey for dinner =)
the snowboarding action was really good on saturday.. nice powdery snow and nice sunny weather... although i do kinda suck now, i blame my uber-thrashed snowboard =p i think i need a new board.. and pants, and gloves, and goggles.. *sigh*
as always i stopped in mid-station for some $1 hot chocolate with marshmallows and whipped cream =) .. so nice.. cept i burnt my tongue, owwie. didnt eat much, cos i had rather big breakfasts.. but the food up there is pricey anyhoo.
the bus-ride back was pretty much the same cept with What Women Want and Gladiator instead of lotr. My neck didnt come out of it any better though =p we went thru a box of pizza Shapes and teevee snacks between the 5 of us.. mm =)
got back to Sydney pretty late, so i stayed over at the Tan Hotel of Redfern, where everybody knows your name... slept in until 11am, and then headed over to some Jap place in Sydney Uni for some noodles =) nice and rested.. i hopped on a train.. and cruised back to Thornleigh..
i went shopping that afternoon at Chatswood.. didnt buy much, cept for some DVD-Rs... meh.. another productive afternoon =p
