life between the 2 study terms .. = shiokness
Before i start ..
Hey ., i'm fine .. sorry for the wait .. Happy new year !!
welcoming you from the freezing cold France
Ski trip ..France .. les arcs ..
1 day right after the end of term , set off to France for our Malaysian society ski trip !! ..
Caleb came over on the Friday night .. he was gonna be the PR of my 25A pathetic residence(in terms of distance) for 1 week ..
was so so busy on Friday , after getting my results , went over to Decathlon to get my beanie then head off to look for specific location of the shops i will target for shopping ...
Met up with Caleb at bond street station , went selfridges window shopping with yheu shen , stroll around lanes and streets near oxford street ...
Bought foodstuff at Sainsbury in totenham court road for our supreme Caleb fried rice .. every1 was so hungry we gobbled down some breakfast pastry that cost only 30p each from 1.40 .. lol ..
Yheu Shen came over for the 1st time since we were in london and we both watched caleb cooked his presumed Tasty fried rice .. used up everything we had in the fridge before i left for ski ... more like lettuce fried rice with pork ..
ended up poring brown sauce and tomato sauce over the fried rice for extra taste!!
Sent yheu shen back and we slept together again .. haihzz .. sad .. didn't kick him this time around though ..
Made 7 French toast to bring on the bus .. Had my overnight curry for lunch , caleb spat out at least 3 potatoes but i was busy enjoying them .. lol .. luckily i didn't get stomach ache after ..
in the ferry ... braving the cold ..
blazing the wind
after the exhausting 18 hours ride and freezing weather endured while we made toilet breaks , We finally saw snow and we arrived at our resort/chalet after a series of climbs . The bus here is way more powerful than the 1s in Malaysia . They were literally zooming up the hills instead of crawling . UCPA !! that's the name of our resort , lol ...
UCPA !!
Had our first French breakfast after unpacking and went to pick our ski boots right after , more like the ski boots picked us . It was a tiring ordeal trying to fit my legs into the boots and it was so uncomfortable . Anyhow , got my ski boots , then got my JUNIOR skis and left it in the boots room . Our 1st lesson begun after our fairly appetising lunch . Climbing the slopes without poles was so tough , our ski boots were so slippery and the slope was at least at a 50 degrees projection .
Had 3 instructor , learned how to put on our skis , walk with our skis and ski freely straight down . Had paella for dinner and learned how to to play bridge ( card game ) while massaging our legs ....
1st breakfast Frenchy ..
ski boots .. !!
beginners line
After 1st day lesson ..
monday Woke up on the 3rd day with amazing spirit wanting to start conquering the slopes ..
Had our lessons after breakfast , learned how to stop , remain a good posture and turn .. all by shifting our body weights and slicing pizzas with our legs...that following evening we went to explore Mont Blanc, didn't even went down the slope . It was way too scary , only daredevils like peter and hazwan went down . Xue Lieh took half a step and decided to give it a pass as it was way too scary for starters .
Practiced on another slope nearby which proved to be ideal for us because we needed to master the way to ski parallel . Wasted most of our energy climbing up the slope and falling down .
our bridge game just got started ..
crazy boys ..
Tuesday ,
Yenson brought us to Arc 2000 to ski . Hazwan , me , wayn , ke lun and jiun siang..
That stupid guy told us to conquer the toughest of the 3 blue slopes available .
We haven't even warm up our legs and we fell repeatedly . I lost all of them after a few skis . It was kinda scary for a beginner to ski alone and i just went on and on . Not knowing the time i finally found my way back and took a bus from Arc 1950 . Had lessons in the afternoon .. the instructor took us to the exact same spot we trained , it was so so boring because she kept teaching us the things we knew already . Broke away from the crowd after lessons and went skiing ourselves . Ended up skiing all the way down from Cascadas to Around 1850
after cascadas .. just went straight on
start of pub crawl
.. Went for pub crawl .. the 1st pub was the best .. good drinks and hot french ladies !! .. lol .. the 2nd 1 was crap . didn't even manage to get in as it was too packed . 3rd 1 was just a place to chill and spend some time . The last 1 was a techno. club , empty .. only our own guys .
3 euros to put our jackets in the cloakroom , i was so lucky i wore only a jumper ..
So it was either get the chill or pay 3 euros ! .. lol
the 2 sad ex BU-ians after talking about gals ..
bar night ..
chilling bar ..
Wednesday , Seniors brought us skiing !! .. ( timetable says skiing with friends ! )
All conqured mont blanc .. Just to let the seniors know our level before them bringing us to tougher slopes. After lunch , Went to most of the blue slopes .. went in a big group but ended up with 2 groups .. Was very very worried about the others .. the best part was the snow park , the place where its like a track and u can actually race on it .. was really fun ..played Win , Lose or Draw at night before we slept .. Lol i was suppose to draw drunken monkey and i drew an alien with a test tube .. lol .. c how bad is my drawing.
ain't this amazing .. its just so beautiful
things u do when u get bored ..
Thursday ..
Got poles !!! .. finally , skiing without poles is so not cool .. finally no more hurting my legs .. but because we trained without poles i think i learned how to ice skate and rollerb lade already .. lessons was so so boring .. We went to arc 2000 again and went at half the speed we're suppose to move at .. especially when it came to a gradual slope , me and my friends just couldn't be bothered anymore . we just zoomed all the way or else we'd have to walk ! After lunch , We went skiing with yenson , a nottingham uni daredevil , he brought us everywhere .. we skiing 1/3 of the map .. Although we only took blue slopes , it was pretty fun because we could really ski at a high speed . Went on (cachette 6 ) ski lift for the 1st time and took belvedere and liason grizzly in Vallandry ( a town at 1600 m ) ..
Had a cuppa and toilet break then headed back to our chalet . Headed back as it was getting really really dark , managed to find our way back through the forest path , lol .. took the bus and headed home for dinner .
villards .. stupid guy behind
Friday ,
Ke lun was our tour leader and we planned our whole trip the day before . 7 of us went together .. minus ho ming . think he woke up late .. anyways , skied to villards and had the best and most expensive lunch ever .. Had cheese fondue !! .. lol .. with bread and raw meat .. The fondue was so so good me and JJ ate till the last drop in a matter of minutes . Ho ming found his way and joined us for lunch .. Decided to skip our lesson in the afternoon so we skied around and ended up losing some1 as usual ..
Made our way home in trios .. went back out to town to get souvenirs .. Seniors went out for dinner and i was broke so decided not to join them .. had the best dinner , so fortunately we didn't go for dinner and waste 20 euros again ..
cheese fondue ..
ski group .. lol
good food never fails to impress
Saturday , our last day skiing .. going to miss this place so much..Again , our leader Ke lun had it all planned , but we broke off from the group because me jj and tian siong wanted to get some souvenirs as well .. Lost almost everyone .. but i went for another round on the ski lift and i saw them so decided to ski quickly down the red slope golf ... manage to catch jj but i was too tired right after and i just decided to fall and slide down the slope .. Lost JJ as well because we took different turns .. Walked in the village started shopping and thankfully met JJ so we shared 2 t shirts for a 15 euros and bought some pastry for our bus ride home ...
Manage to catch the bus and left for UCPA .. Almost every1 was back already , we returned our ski boots , skis and poles and headed back for lunch .. i made sandwich from the pate , tuna and cheese .. packed and left UCPA hoping to return next year .
Bus ride was relatively fun as we slept eat and played bridge most of the time .. Me and JJ can really sleep and sleeping 40 minutes was like sleeping for 3 hours..
Left the white soft snow , awesome ski slopes and everything ..
bought chocolates on the ferry .. Reached imperial around 7 ish and managed to get hold of yheu shen and zhu hann after a series of call because my phone was dead ..
finally back in my lovely room with messages from Wei Kiat .. lol !!
Sorry guys will upload photos soon .
