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.

got my japanese visa.

1 year multiple entries. each entry 90 days. nice ! anyways, i think i did mention that japanese efficiency was also seen in the embassy ???!!?? alright, please scratch that. the time i went was early in the morning and i was one of the first person there so service was fast. i found the service to be comparable to other embassies where they are not really that quick.. well.. can't blame them just that it was my bad luck that my visa wasn't printed. 1. i went in the morning at 10 at stated on the paper. 2. she tried to find it.. couldn't find my passport. and then she said it's not ready yet.. please come back in the afternoon. T_T. (i shouldn't have woken up so early) 3. i went back to the embassy after lunch. took warren st to green park. it was stated severe delays but when i went on it.. it was quite quick. 4. i was the second in line to collect visa. not ready.. T_T.... he said.. 5 mins.. they are gonna print it now... 5. i waited.... 5 mins.... 10 mins.... 15 ...

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...

rain rain rain ...

i went to thomas global exchange on sunday. there was a long queue just to change money. so indeed my recommendation of the place was correct. it was in a quiet place. but it looked alright. there were lotsa ppl. and ppl who were walking past were very intrigue by this long line in front of a money changer. that's about it. i still need to change a little bit more. so i'll wait for my next round b4 i go there again. it was pissing rain outside. i thought i'd have to wait till it settled down. but as it is with london's rain, it just is not like the torrential downpour back in msia. lighting and thunder. yippee.. i used to hide whenever i hear thunder and see the lightning. and then i grew out of being scared of it. now i'm scared of a different kind of thing. that aside, nothing else is special. i brought food to work today. from the baguette i bought from somerfield on sunday. it was 62p for 4 wholemeal ones. i stuffed it with corned beef i bought from sainsbury. a...
