SKIING!!! i had my first go at it yesterday!!! it was FABULOUS!!!! *melts* SnowPlanet is an indoor skiing area and it is definitely less overwhelming for a beginner like me. 'wear more thermals!' jenny reminded me. 'it's ONE DEGREE in there!' wheee!!! imagine the puffs of vapour as i speak. hohoho. i was one happy girl! the exterior  see how that building extends up the slope? hehe.  looking into the skiing grounds from the cafe  starting from basics, the instructor taught us how to control our skis and move around in them without the poles. walking up the slopes sideways and skiing down with our skis wedged. i was actually quite desperate at the very beginning of it. i was stranded when we had to follow the instructor up the slopes and i had to wave at the instructor for help. it just didnt work when i tried to move one foot ahead since the other foot would be sliding backwards. one crazy girl right there. wahaha. then i was crashing into the other beginners in front of me thereafter. my skis were caught in between their legs. faints. i had the worst one when we were up on the slope. i bumped into Holly after i got off the magic carpet (an automatic trailer that brings you up to the top of the gentler slope) and the both of us were moving downwards uncontrollably in a very slow but terrifying fashion. thank goodness we had the instructor right in front of us. else, we would have tumbled down the slope together. hahaha. i was really glad that she didnt gave me the killer stare for putting her in such a predicament. hehe. 'skiing' down the slope on my first try was nerve wrecking! i bent my knees thinking that it would provide me with better balance but crap, it sent me down faster despite doing the wedge which would supposedly bring you to a stop. =~( the thought of coming down the slope for the second time was a chore then. thankfully, the instructor corrected my posture during my second attempt and I FELL IN LOVE WITH IT. gosh. it was funny how it turned out when my instructor saw me going down the slope as she was coming up on the magic carpet. 'AWESOME!!' she screamed. i flashed her my big wide smile, beaming with joy of course, but only to realise that a skier had fallen not too far ahead of me. i got panicked and all flustered. 'HELP!!' i thought. and jenny's words came ringing in my mind. 'use your toes!! exert pressure on the side that is opposite of where you want to go to'. my, jenny you are a saviour!! muacks!! that's usually how it goes huh. one moment of happiness and one moment of terror! hahaha. this has gotten me all excited about skiing at the end of the semester!! i am so looking forward to the skiing at Queenstown!! this is just one lick off the icing of the cake! awwwww. come'on. give me MORE yummy stuff!!
