Ski Trip

Finally, finally, finally. After 6 years of med school, I've finally tried Sled, Ski and almost almost snowboard. Oh well, not exactly ski but I tried to ski and fell for around 100 m ok.

It was planned since last year but what we have last year was not snow but bits of ice-kacang since it rained the day before. God was amazing, he gifted all of us ( Final year students) the most special gift ever, a super beautiful winter which will be in our memories for the rest of our lives. He also gave us a special opportunity to go ski and numerous rounds of snow-fight. When I was typing this blog, the snow was already melting. Everywhere was nothing but lots of lots of ice-kacang aka melted muddy snow + water.

This trip was long planned as I say before, it all started last year. Last week, we supposed to go but it was blown once more due to safety reasons because we heard that there were avalanche somewhere near our ski place. Anglasky Pereval is not exactly a ski resort, you don't get what you get in Switzerland, there are no chair lift so you have to drag your heavy equipment and pull all the way up the slope. Man, it was tiring.

The rental was cheap though: For the best sled you can get "MUSTANG" you just need to pay 100 Grvn which is equivalent to 50 RM or lesser and tadaa you are there playing happily for the whole day. Ski set is 80 grvn = 40 RM and Snow board is 150 grvn = 75 RM. Cheap right??

We went with Group 628 and they even bring fire to set up there and bbq. How wonderful, we even can heat up our take-away MC D breakfast  using their fire and can stand by the fire to keep warm. Thanks to them, warm meal for the day.

Ok, I'll let the pictures do the talking .. like I always does.
 
Taken while buying MC D. The girls Cam-whore while the guys buying. 
Sing Hoon "ngam-cham-ing" don't know what and I think he like old man already.

 
We took trolley bus there and it was freaking slow. But worth it only 4 grvn = 2 RM but it took us 1 hour plus to reach the ski resort place.
This is our "MUSTANG" sled which has a steering and cost us 100 grvn for the whole day. It was better than the normal wooden one mainly for us beginners and the friction is more and it can sled more slower and most important there is a break, although functionless.wtf.

While waiting for the guys to rent their ski set. We are timid and decided to stick to sled only because we are super scared of fracturing our limbs as CNY is one week away.

Then we  pull each other and man it was fun.

 
There is a small slope and I decided to test the Sled. Ended up shouting also.Aih hopeless lar.
  
Setting up the BBQ pit. They looked so pro.

 
  
The guys who decided to play snow-board. I think is 100 X more scary then the sled.
  
See.. theory proven. 100 X more scarier than the Sled.
  
Before climbing up the slope have to recharge energy first.

 
Sled-ing down the slope. The heavier you are the faster it goes. The adrenaline rush...... s


Nice or not the scenery.

 
 
After few rounds of up and down the slope everyone stomach grueling. Mc D burger is the way to go. I was having becon burger, something you never ever can get in Malaysia.

 
My darling so cute can pose somemore.

 
After the Lunch, everyone posing for photo

The girls.
 
Ahem, ahem Posing only. I don't have proper shoes so cannot play :(
  
A picture to prove that I did try the Ski, thought is only 100 m.
Can't help it, It's girls instinct to cam whore.
 
Then Jeffrey invented new method to play the snow board. And this is how.

 
Playing the sled once more. It's like you are on a roller coaster or something.

 
As I said, it is not a professional skiing resort so you have to pull your heavy sled up the slope. This is so not good if you are not constantly been exercising --- me, almost died of heart failure.

 
After coming down from the slope. While waiting for the guys to return their things.

 
Walking down the bus-stop. The icicles on the tree is beautiful. 
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful and beautiful is the only word to describe.

Superb trip with my classmates and friends and it will be a memory that will last me for the rest of my life.
