i IS back. from skiing in gala, norway

happy new year.
pre christmas and christmas
i spent my time at home doing nothing and lepaking and watching house and some other animes.
then i went to norway on the 29th.
... STILL no luck with pretty girls on airplanes.
going there i got a free seat next to me.. so it was good. more space for me to sleep.
coming back i got the double whammy.
1. i chose the wrong seat. window.
2. the other 2 seats were filled with one FAT HUGE man on the aisle and a granny in the middle seat. T_T ..
3. the worst part is that i was in a urgent need to go to the washroom. i had to hold it in till i got to the airport in london.
----_____----

okies. that was that.
i managed to ski. 7 days of holiday in norway.
quick recap.
saturday 29th dec.
1st day . oslo was not snowing. took the train to vinstra then a bus to gala. tired after 24 hours door to door.
sunday 30 dec
2nd day . went to the hotel climbed up some slopes to get to the hotel. VERY tiring.. and got lost after renting skis and after trying to ski back to the cabin. T_T. ( not very smart lol)
monday 31 dec
3rd day. tried skiing down to the baby slopes. found out there WERE baby slopes to ski. so played around the baby slopes and then went to the middle of the blue slope to go a little faster.
mind me, i didnt know how to ski ... no lessons yet.
tuesday 1 jan 2008
4th day i think we took one lesson from a private tutor. 45 mins session. taught us how to plough/pizza/turn.
after the lesson i was more confident in turning.. so i thought i'd be able to make it nicely.
wednesday 2 jan 2008
5th day i went up a little too high in the blue slope and then thought i would ski down. but ... when i looked down.. i panicked and sorta used my butt to go down. hahaha
thursday 3 jan 2008
6th day . i managed to get a little courage due to the others who went up the slope and i could just try to follow their steps.
after that i got more confident. it was okay.
friday 4 jan 2008
7th day last day of skiing. rented till then. went up the red slope. ( about half way too. ) it was night skiing. very cool.
saturday 5 jan 2008
8th day. packed up and ready to go back to oslo.
sunday 6th jan 2008
9th day. met up with my friend and saw their place. nice. !! makes me wanna get a place of my own.

well.. that's a pretty long holiday i think.
no more holiday for me till april or more i guess.

Mr. Kipling's Battenberg Cake. looks nice..

hmmm been so busy on friday forgot to update. will post 2 post to console myself today. to the cake. cake looks cute. but tastes horrible. maybe it was because i bought it cheap from sainsbury . it's original price was £1.29. but i bought it for 49p. cheap as i was. maybe that's the reason the cake tasted bad.. but the expiry wasnt till anohter 2 days time. :P anyways, it tasted like smelled like cough syrup. u know those red coloured ones. tasted okays. the outer layer is just icing erm or rather sugar.. no ideas waht that was but it was SWEET. then inside, just like the normal sponge cake. all in all.. i wouldnt buy it ever again. :P here are the pics.

my boring weekend

i went to camden on sat and almost got rammed by a stupid green car on the way back. anyways, i was bored. and it was a nice day. don't know anything bout tour de france, or wimbledon. took my bike out. and cycled down towards camden. it was a change from cycling to work. i spent £7 in sainsburys cos they were having a half price sale on john west's tuna in cans. the usual price is about £3.19. bought some stuffs.. ( coulnd't buy a lot cos i don't wanna ride home on a punctured bike) but i bought too many as well. i bought jaffa biscuit for 69p. for 24 pieces. finished it b4 sat was over. took some photos on the way. went into o2 to see if i could get any nice phones for free. turned out that i couldn't because i havent paid any phone bills since last year. looks like i'm gonna hvae to switch my sim card to a pay as you go thingy. then i went to the outdoor emporium to take a look at the karrimor travelpack. i dunno why .. that one seems to call out to me other
