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.

living on a budget

£4 per weekday and £10 for groceries for the week. that's it's gonna be till sept. hopefully.. until i start to try shopping again .. -_- so far for the last few days has been okays. spent like £8 for groceries for this week. some beef, some chicken wings( which i completely finished during the weekend) which included half a kg of fruit and nut cadbury. today was 2 for £2 sausage rolls from tescos. nothing else happened. my friend's father died of lung cancer. i wish them condolences. it was so sudden apparently. but i have had no contact with them since i left KL/miri. i heard it from another friend who was in miri who msged me asking me about my blood pressure as he said he was scared now. i asked. scared of dying ? lol. anyways, it's best to be preventing than trying to cure it when it comes.. so i really have to switch back to no salt diet.. T_T kk that's it. season 6 of 24 was like erm... okays... it was basically a repeat of the plots.. hope that's the la...

of brussels sprouts and racial features.

brussel sprouts are in season i think. they are going for 1 pack for 52p. it used to be like 1/4 of the pack for £1. but now seems to be cheaper. oh yeah. it seems to be siu pak choi. but it just didnt opened. anyways, that nite i went to morrisons, to buy more food. but when i walked halfway i found out that i didnt bring my wallet.. ^$£"%$£^%$ but lucky i had coins in my pocket. all i had was 96p. how sad.. lol . i went to the store to look for nga choi. er.. whta they call them here.. i think some sort of beans.. they usually sell them for 45p. i wanted it cos i cooked chicken rice mah. but then they didnt have it. and they have mixed stir fried thingy which was £1.29. poor ole me didnt buy it cos i didnt have enough lol so i hunted for cheap stir fry vege, the sprouts looked like a cheaper alternative. well.. i bought it. cooked it ate it with chicken rice. next thing i knew.. i was down with a bloody cough. ugh.. lotsa phlegm. not sure how i got it.. but that aside, i've ...

Ultimate Burger. ( sorry no pics)

Tried something new for lunch the other day. namely ultimate burger. . it's a tad pricey when compared to the burgers i had in macdonalds or burger king. :P £7 per medium sized burger. i had just the minted lamb burger(£6.95), and some spicy onion rings.(£1.95) in the ultimate burger store in tottenham court road. it was not too bad. a pretty nice setting too. all u have to do is queue up order ur food, then get a number then u put it on the table. they have sort of a hanger for u to put ur numbers to. just like in those kind of chinese open air market in petaling jaya give u number then they come look for u.. but this one they come to look for u with ur food almost about 2 mins after u've sat down and they would ask u if u liked ur food. gripes about the food. lamb burger seems small.. but its' about the size of a chargrilled flame burger in burgerking. taste wise, very tender lamb meat with mint sauce. it's nice. :P the onion rings are a different matter though . for ...
