Last day of ski trip

"Surprise" in the end of the ski trip?

It was drizzling in the morning until afternoon.The weather was bad,we managed to get a stroll in the Falls Creek village and took a chairlift to the Toboggan slope mountain.First of all, we need a pair of good boots to walk in the snow .Look at me, i was trying out those shows and wishing to pick up a good pair of boot to help me to walk through the thick and slippery snow.We then began our journey after getting the boots from the hire shop next to our accomodation.

We were all enjoying the morning walk in the village and was busy snapping photos while enjoying the village view.The cold and crispy air smell so fresh in the morning.

We went up the Toboggan slope mountain after the lunch,it was bloody cold up there, and the wind was strong we managed to took photos there by SQ tripod.We then leave Falls creek at around 2 :30 pm evening.

In the end of the trip, i actually got a big surprise on the bus .The surprise was that I won a DVD player in the lucky draw competition.I was so shocked when SQ announced it.I cannot believe my ears because i never even think of me winning that prize.Because i dun have good TV at home..plus a lot of asignments which keep on pouring onto me.But....ONE THING FOR SURE.I am blessed by buddha , maybe..hehe..When SQ announced me as the winner that time, he was so funny and acted so mysteriously .He never mentioned my name directly, he was actually letting everyone to take a guess on the winner by describing me.Good voice,good in hip hop dancing, skiing on skitrip etc...which actually makes me blushed cox i m not expert in hiphop dancing.^*-*^

Skiing is FUN but with bruises...

On the first day of the ski trip,I was the first one who woke up in the crispy cold morning because I thought there was suppose to be a Tai Chi going onas stated in the scheduled timetable . There was rain, so program's was cancelled. After breakfast, we all headed to the ski chairlift counter to buy our ski lesson ticket and started off the day with the 2 hours skiing lesson. For me, skiing is so hard to learn because so sad to say that I hadn't even learn how to play with roller blading .I managed to get the knack of skiing only around 2 or 3 hours after the lesson. I was so afraid to fall but the main part of skiing is to fall but with the right posture and as well as controlling the speed while skiing. I had always ended up falling in the wrong posture, so I was a paranoid all day long when it comes to a fall all the time. The most unlucky things that happen is to me and friends(Yanti's gang) was we went off to the wrong way while we were skiing. We went to the intermediate slope. We went tumbling and falling down (such as Humpty dumpy who sat on the wall and fell)all the way from the top to the bottom of the mountain slope. The funniest things is other people just need to use 5 minutes to ski down the slope which we had spend 2 to 3 hours on that slope. Yet, during the falling down period, we had all build up good friendship as we helped each other up whenever we each one of us fall down. We waited for each another while another our friends fell down again. The sloop was too steep for us beginner who had just began our lesson on that day. There is this old sayings which exactly describe our situation which is someone who never learn how to walk but wants to fly. After skiing down the mountain slope, our stomach went grumbling and we all went to had the hot potatoes wedges and sour cream which was so delicious and yummy. I managed to meet up my dear god sister Cammy. We got a chance to ski together for another one hour before we bid goodbye to each other. In the end, when i was backed to our accomodation lodge, i realised my legs were full with bruises.That was really a pay off for the ski fun!

After dinner, all of us was separated into 2 groups and we were about to start a snow fight. The games rules indicated that each group need to produce a snowman but the winner will need to hit off the snowman head by snowball. We then started building weapons which were the snowballs and had been planning out strategy to win our opponent. My group had came up with the brilliant idea to build a big snow wall in front of the snow man and in order to protect it. Our snow fight ended up with no winner or loser. Yet, there was something which was quite annoying had happened which was that stupid GN who crossed over the snow fight barrier illegally and attacked me. His intention was not attacking the snow man but me. I was so shocked, luckily my friend realised that and gave him a good kick and it stop him from continuing attacking me.I was so frustrated because my beanie and hair was all wet with that stupid GN attacking my head with snow. Yet, i slowly cooled down my temper and everything was back to normal again which i thought it was .But the answer WAS no, i started realising my friend VY was acting a bit weird and was unhappy during the ski trip, which really kill some of my holiday moods. After the snow fight, I went to the main lounge and joined the others to play cards games with them .Frankly speaking, i actually get to know BLIA friends better through the card games. I had voiced up some of my opinion towards FoGuangShan Youth club activities to the President(Alan).I wish that i can helped out with the committees next year if i m still around in Melbourne because i dunno where i will get my first job. I had a great talk with Alan and he had given me a lot of golden advices and opinions which will helps me through out my life. Thanks to him !The next day, I then only found out that he was my guardian angel during the skitrip.This was because all of us had been assigned a guardian angel in the beginning of the trip. He/she will not disclose their identity until the end of the trip. He really helps me as my mortal angel, giving wise advice and helped me at the right time when i was bullied during the skitrip.He was the one who Give the Idiot the kick on his back.hehe...^*-*^

Skitrip

Skitrip which last for 3 days was fun actually except some small minor problem that arises and affect my feelings...

After finishing the auditing test on friday, i quickly rushed off to Carnegie to do the last minute shopping for the skitrip. I bought my beanie, ski glove , sunglasses and some snacks.I even packed my luggaged until late midnight at 3 am.How stupid am i , cannot make up deciosn wat tobring to the trip. It all ended up in a veyr big luggage which is thebiggest luggage in the whole bus.I dunno wat i bring as well, some extra clothes.Which i think i look clumsy on that big lugagge.

The next morning , i dragged the big luggage to the city, and carried it all the way to queens street art gallery.I was so shocked that i was actually the first one who arrived .

We all then headed off falls creek around 9:30.We reachtehre at around 4 o'clcok in the evening and we were all allocated to each of our room,and being brought to rent our ski equipment.

I was so excited with my ski lesson for the next day. When the night cames, GN invited me , to joinVY and VC and him to have dinner together.He brought the mobile stove which they decided to have steamboat.We had steamboat and they played magic card after the steamboat.I then decided to join the rest of them in the Italian restaurant and had had my vanilla ice-cream with choclate topping with lots of almond flake on it.Yummy...:P

I even played the soccer game machine in the cafe with the BLIA friends. I did some have some fun with the BLIA people in the restaurant. Enjoying their company there , and i had told myself i had never regret leaving VY, GN and VC they all playing cards.hehe...I think i canot be blamed cox i have no interest at all at the Magic cards.Sigh...

Holiday

It has been ages that I never blog . Sorry again for those who had been always keeping an eye on my blogs .I guess because i was very lazy at that time. During the holiday, i admitted i played quite a lot. I did things which i dun use to do, such as playing computer games. I got to know Gani and Madeline during the holiday. They are both voon yee's friends.I watched a lot of movies and enjoy the company of Benjamin, Madeline, voon yee and gani. I even went basketball on some mondays with voon yee and friends.It has been a few years ever since high school that i practiced playing basketball.I cannot believe that my movement can still be so agile .I even did some swimming lap in the Clayton sports and recreation centre hehe...which turns out to be a good news which means that i m not old yet.hehe...^*-*^
I manage to get some pictures during the holiday in the Botanical garden.I get to sing karaoke, went shopping, and tried out some Indonesian Food in Blok M.

During the holiday, I actually tried to translate once in Fo Guang Shan.It is truly an experience for me. It is a bit tough initially but i manage to get over it.I realised that my memory is quite bad which i tends to forget about venerable's talk. However, i summarize her talks in brief and manage to bring out the essence of her talk.Lucky me, I had Alan to support me during my period of translation as SQ had went back Singapore for holiday. I believed that with more practice in the future will definitely make me improve more. I told me self I had to read up more books on Buddhism so i can truly deliver the true message by venerable and share the merits and Buddha dharma with the other Buddhist. In the end of my translation, there were actually some of my friends and audience who went up to me and praises me by saying i did a good job on the translation. This actually do help me to build more confidence in the future to translate in a better way.

Time flies, when uni starts, assignment start pilling up and I need to switch off my holiday mood ..then concentrate more on studies...and good news, I manage to complete my accounting degree and now applying for PR.Hopefully everything goes smoothly and i m really looking forward to get a good job as an auditor.
