bruised

just came back from an extended snowboarding session. *winces

yeah.. my butt is bruised and so is my ego.. lol.. now i understand why in ice skating people can say they fall until their butt feels numb (lol.. jo)

tried tons of new slopes tonight but the initial relish and fun faded slightly as the cold wind blew and our shirts and gloves started to freeze.. yeah. MY GLOVES SUCK. they became pretty much useless ice-moulds that froze my fingers to numbness for the latter part of the journey..

and yeah.. after the 2nd trip down karyatis lane, wah.. my ego also tremendously bruised.. fall until almost literally see stars, fall until really create snow clouds etc.

all that whining aside. snowboardings still the coolest thing ever done in Cornell so far. nothing beats the whoop you get after executing a perfect turn and just going down confidently and with the seh-ness. nothing beats the absolutely breathtaking scenery viewed at the mountain top. =)

which reminds me, haha.. i distinctly remember last year in Korea where I was so excited to see frost in the morning at the Korean ski resort and was excited taking pictures. -_-. kinda ironic now considering the mountains of snow that's facing me daily and freezing the arse of out me.. lol. getting numb to the snow already.

aniwez, snowboarding also has its distinct dangers.. already 'claimed' one member in our batch liao.. poor thing.. get well soon!.. yeah.. so i dunno.. sometimes u needa draw a line between fun and having so much fun that you inadvertently injure yourself.. and today at the end I was slightly teetering over the edge with a seriously cramped up left leg.. lol.. but alls well ends well.

ciao!
