Falls Creek 2005 Part 1
Monday, start of a new week. Muscles (yes i have some) are still aching abit from the skiing on saturday. So that explains what kind of physical condition I am in. So now a descriptive compo coming up. Sorry ah...if too boring too dry. My engrish just make it only.
Plan was to buy some stuff on friday afternoon for the trip, leave around midnight then reach Falls Creek early in the morning. But of course! not without celebrating One True Love's birthday. In fact a surprise one!! Have to think of such things to make up lack of present for her(yes no present for her. and yah i feel so damn bad)
I am so sorry baby! I make it up as soon as i can find a worthy present. More about birthday later.
A group of us had a simple dinner together, then dessert. Then after Cherisa managing to get Her away from the living room, the guys brought out the cakes and the fireworks and started the show. She was surprised! Erm actually i hope she really was surprised. So a few photos and eating of the cake. Those who have a house nearby went back to pack and rest.
Ok so back to the trip.......
We were a group of 8. Two cars were to be our transport. Estimated driving time....5 hours. And around midnight we headed off. Drove for awhile...stopped at petrol kiosk around Seymour for a refuel,a bite, a drink and a leak, and some smoke.
Continued driving, missed a turn. so had to turn back. In a rush to make up some time, we sped.....and were caught. Not a good start. Drivers got a hefty fine. Traffic fines here in VIC is always no good. so damn sensitive..meaning even if you were to get caught just 3km/hr above the limit, still a fine. Not much allowance compared to Singapore's. And the fines are so damn expensive...example for 7km/hr above speed limit AUD$150.
ok so we try not to think about it. Continue to drive and finally reaching Falls Creek around 8plus in the morning. Didnt waste much time as we went to our accomadations, put our stuff down, rented the ski equipments and off we go!
All of us, had only maybe ski once or twice and some none! but we were so damn garang loh!! All said that they no need lessons whatsoever!!Except for T who was the cool and hip one, went for snowboarding and lessons.
And so we put on our equipments and off we go!! Onto the ski lift to the top
After some struggle and a couple of pushes, some of us embarked on the wombat ramble trail. Where some of us fell and fell until they "cannot recognise house"(buay din chu - in hokkien).
First run took about 2hours:p She and I were falling, rest, continue, fall, rest continue. Repeat that for 1000 times, hence the 2 hours. And poor thing...She got some bruise and cuts on her legs when she looked through her legs at end of the day.
After lunch, i went on to have a few more runs...each time trying to get faster. but also not too fast....dun wanna fall. On the last run, I actually lost my way...ended up on a trail that was quite erm challenging, so i chickened out, as i had another friend who was lost with me.(I am a horlan king). But still managed to find our way after hiking back onto the trail we were planning to take:p
ok next part another time....tired. gonna dream some dreams...nice one hopefully.......
