Australia Vacation Part II

Here I continue my part 2 whereby it is mostly on my ski trip down to near Canberra at the small town call Jindabyne and the place I ski is at the Thredbo Village.

14th Jul 06 Fri
Today wake up quite early, so took my sis apt house keys and I went down to take a stroll. The breeze is still very windy and cool. I just walk around the estate and nothing much to see but alot of asian food selling here...got Korean, Thai, Chinese, Indonesian, Malacca Straits which also our local food can be found in this estate. Hmm...Anyway headed down to Mac for the breakfast...but I miss the breakfast time coz I forgot the timing at Aussie is 2 hrs advance of Singapore so when I see my watch again it is 11.30am..urgh...so no choice got lunch over there and headed back to home. Anyway, my ski trip started 5pm coz we need to head down to the central station whereby the mini bus will bring us to Jindabyne. Its a very long jounery which takes about 8hrs to reach. My buttocks are hot sia...haha Throughout the jounery I took a nap just prepare for tml ski lesson.

Well, its around 1am and we just reach Jindabyne and we collected our ski gears and headed down to own apt that we rental. Its rather big for 5 of us to live coz it got a big living room, a kitchen, a master bedroom and a room with 4 bunks to share. So my sis and bro-in-law got the master bedroom and for the rest we sleep in the bunks...reminds me BMT...hahaha...

Anyway got a couple hrs of sleep and its 7.15am, the tour guide knock our door and chasing us to hurry up. We got our gears and boarded to the bus and headed down to Thredbo village. Time for ski... After that, around 8.45...we reach at Thredbo and time for our very first lesson on ski-ing and been so clumsy, I've been falling down...Ouch! :(

Anyway lesson was fast, we were been taught how to ski and stop. Hahaha anyway also how to turn left or rite, but a slow learner like me just cannot learn so quickly. Kekeke...Anyway after that we have our lunch. I was an expensive lunch sia...the drinks here also sell quite expensive like a bottle A$3.50 wor! After that, we continue to ski for the rest of the day and ended up late going back to the bus and everyone was waiting...sometime very difficult to understand their English slang coz during our lunch...we were asking each other when to go back...Quarter past 4? or Half past 4? or Quarter before 5? haha...so we thought 4.45pm so we when back around 4.30pm and the tour guide scold us where were we...haiz...anyway after a week stay in Aussie land...I learn more of their slang...

So after the dinner we got our bread and instant noodles for the breakfast tomorrow and headed back our apt and catch some sleep, but ended up tokking crap...and even take some boliao photos.
