Now on to normal blogging.
It all started when I was born. Fast forwarding to last week, my friends invited me to join them learning snowboarding during the holidays. I happily agreed!! The catch was I will be the one doing the booking because my english is "good". So I did the booking to go snowboarding on 15 August 2007. The place we're going to is called Mount Hutt.

We have to be at the Riccarton bus stop at 725am. I had to wake up at 6am which is very very hard for me. Fortunately I'm waking up early to snowboard so my biological clock changed it's time to wake up at 6am. So Young and Kelly woke up at 5 and 530. T_T

Still sleeping around 5 and 530...

Reach the bus stop just in time and we went in the bus/mini van or something. The seats were messy and I had to sit alone in the side. There were these 2 Japanese kid who seem to be bad at reading English or something. We filled out a form about our height and weight and so on to get us the right gear for snowboarding. Accodring to Kelly and So Young, they wrote 160/164 for WEIGHT and 15/16 for HEIGHT. Wow, 160kg and 15cm tall. What the hell are they, mini Sumo Wrestlers?

Wahaha, mini sumo wrestlers. With remote controls. xD

The view on the way to Mount Hutt is fantastic. It's like in the magazines where they show you snowcap mountains that looks very very beautiful. I took a few photos in the bus/mini van.

The journey was about 2 hours+. I had to endure 1 hour of a little kid yapping his questions to his dad. I don't mind the kid asking questions to his dad but can he turn down the volume a little?? He was so LOUD and I was just right behind him. A few examples of his questions:

Annoying Kid : "The sun is blinking!! Dad, why is the sun blinking?? Look dad, the sun is blinking!!"
(There were a row of trees on the side of the road blocking the sun, that's why the sun is blinking. Damn retard. -__-")

Annoying Kid : "There is a car at the back dad. Why is there a car at the back dad?? Where is he going??"
(Kid, have you never seen a car behind another car?? At that time the road was a 1 way road to Mount Hutt. Gee, I guess it was so hard to know where the car was going so I'm guessing it's going to Korea to snowboard.)

Annoying Kid : "Dad why are we stopping here?? Why is the driver going out of the bus?? DAD?!!"
(What the hell, the driver just said he was going to put chains on the wheels so that the bus can move on snow. What the hell were you doing when he was announcing that.)

Shut the heck up man. I can't stand the questions.

He was more annoying than that. The 2 guys sitting across me was pretty pissed too. Oh yea, Vodafone rocks because even up in the mountains there is still good connection. Compared to Digi, Maxis or Celcom, Vodafone is way better

Vodafone rocks. =D

We reached Mount Hutt about 940am. We were thrilled about it. We went to change into our rented full kit. Then we went to the rental area to get our snowboarding gear. It was freaking awesome to get a snowboard. It was pretty heavy though. We took it outside and waited for our instructor to teach us snowboarding. The instructor's a guy called Jered. A cool dude. Didn't have any photos of him though. He taught us a few basic rules handling the snowboard and then taught us how to board a little. After that we went to the slope where we learn to try applying those basics into real action. I fell and knocked countless of people.

Wow, where did you buy THAT dude.

It's the hair of the guy at the back.

So Young and Kelly~

The fun thing about snowboarding is when you're going fast down the slope. The painful part is where you want to stop. I fell down countless times on my butt and it hurts like crap. I knocked into someone and someone knocked into me and the cycle goes on. There were a few times where I managed to stop and going from left to right and vice versa successfully. There were even a few times where I wanted to stop and the snowboard skidded down vertically with my body facing down and my hands grabbing snow. It was awesome I tell you. Looked like I was doing a trick or something. So Young was the fastest learner among the 3 of us. Kelly and me were just bad at snowboarding. Haha.

Camwhore a bit first.

Cant help it.

This is just for joke. It is not really a molester.

Oddly enough, it was quite hot on Mount Hutt. It was a sunny day but there's snow so it should still be cold. Oh well, I prefer hot rather than cold. It was very very tiring to snowboard. We had to walk up the slope to get more snowboarding time. If we used the "magic carpet", we will have to wait for a very long time before we get to the top of the slope due to the long queue. We felt the pain the in legs when we walk up the slope and felt the pain in our butts when we fell down. So we will feel pain no matter what. Greatttttttttttt.

The other snowboarding team. They were tired too. Wahaha.

Up on the magic carpet~~

Peace~!

A whole lot of snowboard.

My board. Snowboard.

Was resting from the slope climbing so drew a smiley~!

Kelly and So Young~

Super strong fart.

Everything ended about 315pm. Felt like doing some more snowboarding but my battered body says no so we decided to head to the bus. When we change into our own shoes, it felt so light. It's like walking on air. Bloody snowboard shoes, it's damn heavy. >.<>
