I know this is kinda late, but I realized I HAD to pen down probably the best time of my life here... Skiing. I know some people with me wanted to leave, but I really, really, wanted to stay.
I can say with such passion that SKIING, is like the love of my life. You know I quit sports... but the exhaustion I get from skiing. I cannot describe it. I LOVE being exhausted from it. It takes the place of cycling on my list. But hey- if I had the money to spare, skydiving is next. No regrets.

I know everyone's all over the world for SEP and you guys are seeing snow everywhere. So let me start with great Sunny weather. I shan't spite you but at the number of people complaining about the heat back home, I am no longer complaining about the coldness.


I put this picture up because I was amazed- I don't know if you can see what I am seeing, but-
THE CLOUDS ARE FORMING VERY OBVIOUS SHADOWS! Have you ever seen clouds form shadows like that? Have you ever seen it THIS close? No. Of course not. Colin says its because we are "closer to the clouds". Makes sense.



It ISN'T a BIG shady tree mind you!

So as if seeing two shooting stars back in campus in ONE night wasn't enough (oh I made a wish on the second), I.... saw a couple of rainbows. Well this is one, whichever way, it seems like on photos they're just colorful blobs, so I'm just posting this for the sake of showing some rainbows. I've seen better. But I got tired of taking pictures of rainbows.




And this is what roadtrips are like. I'm glad to have the two jokers at the back because they constantly make my day... If only they didn't get home sick and want to leave so soon. =(



Okay time to learn something new- SNOW CHAINS.



When Krissy first told me we would die driving up to Tahoe by the Cliffs without snow chains, I was shocked, puzzled, whatever- WHAT THE FUCK ARE SNOW CHAINS? Won't they burst my tires if I put chains?! Or, how the hell does one drive without a fairly round surface, bob on the road?

If you're smart you would have reasoned out that they were for friction on snow, so that you won't skid while driving... and you are only supposed to put them on at some stop points along the highway up the mountain. Either that or have a four-wheel drive with snow tires.

Four-wheel drive means that the two wheels at the back can move too. I'm sorry I never knew that, but now I do! ;)



Beautiful picture of Tahoe Lake.



....and on a random note, if you haven't seen me complain, I've been to snow places so many times, but never was I allowed to have decent fashionable snow wear. Every time my parents would stop me and say something's not so practical.... BUT IM GLAD I LOOK CUTE NOW RIGHT!


Many thanks to Krissy for the 300USD snow boots. Found out from my friends that when the snow on normal shoes evaporates once you enter the car, your feet get really cold, and like my tour guide from China once told me: "寒从脚起"

And everyone was psyched up initially, I have to say the equipment were hell lotta heavy. At first I was thinking: Sian, gonna be damn tiring.



I was so tired of walking with the skiis while learning, but it seemed the more I learned the more excited I got to go up there and start skiing for real!



Best. I never fall at all. Though I purposely threw myself into snow afterwards because it really welcoming. Was snowing like mad and I think most got quite sian of skiing..... well I definitely wasn't! Next time gonna make my parents leave me there for one whole day!

Well, that's about it. I have another sex essay to write.... You know it has been really funny. Like nowadays I go like (example): "Oh I went to post the card after sex."

People who don't know I'm taking a SEX module, got stunned. Well, I don't blame them, it did come out wrong.

Anyway I was gonna say I'm super happy I'm winning the bid for an iPhone 3G, but, I just got outbidded. To bid or not to?!
