Japan

Yo yo yo people!! Muahahahahaah! Haven't heard from me in a while eh? Yeah.. That's because I've been in Japan! (as though my blog readers don't know) Yup, so anyway, people who read this, please DON'T freak out when u see me on monday. Ok let's see, one thing about skiing in japan, is that, either there's clouds, or NO clouds at all. Let me explain ya? My face has different shades of darkness, about like 3 in fact. Heh. Ok, so my forehead is covered by my erm, mask thingie so it's still like white, and my eye area, on like not so sunny days I don't wear my goggles, whereas if it's too sunny, i wear them, and so the colour is slightly darker. Whereas like my nose and below, is reeeeeally dark, because there's nothing to cover it whether it's reeeeeally sunny or totally cloudy. Ya, i tell u ah, the weather in where I was is rather predictable. First day we skied, it was totally cloudless, really nice weather, then by the end of it, there were clouds at the top, next day, slightly misty at the top of the mountain, and like 3rd day, it's snowing and totally misty that you don't feel like skiing. Snows throughout the night, and 4th day, tada! Cloudless skies again. Haha, and the cycle starts again. So anyway, my face looks like crap. =) Ok, so now moving on..

Well, so left Singapore on Friday night, sat really crappy seats right next to the Gallery, bleaugh, so the stewardesses (longest word spelt with left hand only btw) and stewards keep walking in and out of the gallery la, for me not so bad, coz i sat window seat, whereas my sister was sitting aisle seat, so she couldn't really sleep well. We had the centre seat blocked out, so that we had more space. Ya, so flight was rather uneventful, 5 hour 40 mins long, arrived there, met up with the Yeo's (the other family's sur name) and like stoned at the airport (it's really hard to sleep on the plane) while the 2 dads went to get the rental car, finally got in and left for the 5 hour drive to the mountains, at Hakuba! So slept quite a bit in the car, chars sat in front with dad to keep him awake (and she managed to wake us up from her ultra loud laughter) and finally we arrived there. So to get to our hotel, we had to go up this narrow road full of other hotels la, then the road was like snowy/icy, and my dad stopped halfway to check if the hotel we were passing was ours (we can't read japanese). And guess what, our car, got stuck. Like when i dad pressed on the pedal, the wheels just kept spinning and spinning, because there was no friction between the ground and the tires. So caused a rather massive jam, while the jap people made him reverse into a nearby hotel. And guess what, they just made him reverse, and drove off. What bastards. So chars, cons, bertrand(one of the yeo's, sec 2 in ACSI) and I walked to our hotel, which was in fact the next hotel after the one we stopped at, and then like rather bummed around. Not quite sure what happened exactly, just that basically we got the hotel people get a jeep to go down to the 2 cars (the yeo's one got stuck as well) and tow both cars up to the hotel. They then proceeded to put on the chains on the tires, which are supposed to increase friction between the tires and the ground. But well, it's REALLY bumpy after that. Ya so anyway, our hotel "rooms" are actually log cabins. Actually the lobby there, upstairs got hotel rooms la, but separated from the main building, there're 3 like "houses" diagonally opposite to the main building. So each family took up one cabin, which consists of a living area, 2 toilets, 2 mini kitchens, and 2 bedrooms. So one room had 3 beds, one had 2. 3 of us siblings obviously slept in the 3 bedroomed one lor. Yep, so after that, we went down to rent our skis, as well as ate dinner, which was really good. Haha. And then went back to our cabins and slept. Phew, exhausting day. And well, it's time for dinner now. Already 8.11pm and I haven't eaten. Ok people, see ya all maybe tomorrow or something. I have a weird feeling that I have some physics test on monday =S Hmm, shall have to check. Really tired now, shall be sleeping early tonight. Bye!!
