This fall was a complete opposite from the last... but i like it better this way. Sometimes I thought of how stupid and cowardice I was last year. I didn't dare to go for the iosa gathering or mix with them for scaring to make a fool of myself with my limited bhs indo. Well, i got teased a little but it's ok. It's not as bad as i thought it would be.
Anyway, I went to New Mexico for thanksgiving to ski. WEll, that's the plan, but i ended up snowboarding. I would never thought that i would be saying this, but snowboarding was rather fun. Scary, but fun :P I would also never thought that i would be snowboarding one day. I didn't really want to go cause i didn't really like skiing and the cold, but i didn't really want to stick here in stillwater, and ani, ana were going too, so i decided to go and I didn't regret it. Except for the bunk that we got.
We set off on Wed evening after class, then we stopped at a hotel for the night half-way there, and in the afternoon, we reached the resort, Sipapu resort. Lo and behold, there's no reception, no tv in the room, etc. Haha... remind me of the Perak fieldtrip!
we stopped by Las Vegas!!! Haha... same name different place, Las Vegas, New Mexico, not Nevada!
Since we couldn't ski we went to the Taos, next town, but many shops were closed for it was thanksgiving. We also made use of this time to make the call or sms ppl. Haha... At night, we went to farrell's room which was a hotel room, unlike ours which was a bunk! We played cards and the losers would get their faces smeared with toothpaste and shaving cream! I lost trice :( but at least better than risma! haha... It started to snow by the time we returned to our bunk
Taos... check out the buildings!
On friday, we snowboard all day well, from about 10 to 4pm. the place were covered with snow! Everyone snowboard so i decided to follow them. It was so hard at first, but i managed to slide down rather smoothly and did a toeturn :D Btw the slope weren't that steep. We had lunch after 2 hours of lessons and then we tried to snowboard again, but we soon got bored or rather gave up. We (ani, risma and I) played with the snow, took photos, the guys, ana, farrell, abe went to take the lift and tried out the steeper slope. After we had enough of the cold, we went inside and then went to look for ana, ani wanted to try out the lift and snowboard on the steeper slope. I followed her and soon regretted it. It was so difficult to get to the lift. The lift were just a moving stick that we had to slip in between our leg and we had to hold to go up the slope. But it was so difficult to keep our legs straight while they were half-strapped to the snowboard, and the attendant was such a jerk! anyway, i fell only after a few centimeters! it was so embarrasing but what was i to do. Then, we followed farrell to climb up the slope ourselves. So tiring! And when up there, i was so terrified. The slope were steep! Ani went down first. She fell and twisted her knee. It made me real scared. So halfway on the slope, i dared myself to try to slide down, and I asked abe to be at the bottom of the slope to catch me. But i fall before the can even do that. Haha....
WE were so tired after that. It was a quick day. We slept early.
The next day, it was time to go back! Yeah!!! We stopped by Taos for a quick shopping. WE bought t-shirts and some new mexico souvenirs.
Wigwam!!!
The four gals...
