Good Year for Marriage??!?!?

Been Missing In Action for sooooo long... Lol. Too lazy to blog. A couple of events that i should have blogged, like New Year Eve celebration etc, as usual, lazy... Just visit my facebook to see NYE fotos.

Anyway.... 2 of my closer friends finally decided to tie the knot after 8 years of relationship....another 2 frd also decided to get married. The best part is, the Bride of couple A is sister of the Groom in couple B. Lol. 2 Marriage in 1 family.. Woooo..

Decided to hold a surprise pre-marriage chalet for them. Since it's in January, I was 'used' as the 'decoy'.... telling them the chalet was for my Bday celebration~. Si mi sai...

Notice the Word Yandao~

Super Yandao

BBQ Food~!! It's been so long since i last have BBQ..

As Usual, the Yandao doesnt cook~ Lol

Here comes the cake~! Wootz! Not a surprise though... Just a decoy.. :(

They stole my limelight, more imptly, my cake!... Si mi Sai..

I can only think of eating the cake, n0thing else..It's DAMN good, choc cake from Four Leaves... Highly Recommended! I ate half of the cake alone. lol. Zhuan~!

The Yandaos~

After the Bday celebration, we started our 'plan'. Told every1 to find a partner/couple, blindfold & play some games..

Another couple that's gonna get married in Dec...

Unsuspecting Couple B, Joann & San

Unsuspecting Couple A, Peishan & Sean

Leading the couples into the room...

We tore out the Bday Deco & changed to Wedding Deco~!!Every1's in the room, waiting for them to remove their blindfold & gave them a Bashing! Opps, i mean a surprise..

Played couple games to test how well they know each other.. Amazingly, they did pretty good! Like when & what is their 1st movie, what's their fav food, & even what's the Bra/underwear size. Lol. Respect!!!

Was really happy for them....Known them since 1998 when i 1st joined mumbo... witnessed how Sean & shan start off by irritating each other, to getting together into a relationship... Thru the 8 yrs of r/s, they had their fair share of quarrels & fights, & finally, they felt they're ready for the next phase of life...

There Goes their SINGLEHOOD!

23rd Jan, Wed, the day where Sean & Shan decided to pen down their commitment to each other... You would have tot it'll be something like This...

After knowing them for so many years... it didn't come as a surprise they decided to go for something UNIQUE....

Stay tuned for the next posting to know ... =)

Skiing in Bear Mountains

The highlight of the LA trip, SKIING!!!!!!!!!!!!! wootz!!! Skiing on Christmas day itself, woooooooo.... White christmas!! So excited! my 1st time seeing real Snow, 1st time skiing too! yayaya... mountain turtle or whatever you wana call me. =)

We hit the roads at 6am, its a long 3 hrs drive.. sianz... its freezing cold loh!Brrrghhhhh..





Even get to see the sunrise.. beautiful~


Mountains & valleys along the way







Midpoint~starting to see snow liao~ Wootz!



Not forgetting to take the beautiful scenery. It's still freezing cold.

We wanted to take more pics.. but couldnt take it, the strong cold winds that hit ur face, makes u wanna hit back into the car

Before i go back into the car, i muz do my flying kick~ Wootz!

Finally arrived!!! woohoo

The Yandaos all ready~. lol. (though my ski pants realli look damn gay..It's free, i cant complain..) But had to buy ski gloves... 20usd.. faint.. any1 need ski gloves can BUY from me :)

Snowboarding~ Looks cool huh~

Btw, we all had the same Nike snowcap, cos tats my Xmas present for them. they zhuan loh

Renting the skis & getting all ready~

Out in the "Field"~!!

my 1st steps on snow~ Wooohoo!! Yandao rite~! lol so exciting. The 2 of them went to try snowboarding, me & diana skiing. With my amazing sporting talent, im i can master skiing in few hrs, den i proceed to snowboard. lol.

We took ski lesson for beginners.. 3 hrs i think, honestly.. quite useless... so don bother to take it if you guys have a chance. spent most of the 3 hrs waiting for pple to try den finally my turn, den i complete in just 10 secs cos i'm juz so talented.. haiz~Lugi~

Take a break! woohoo, lesson ended, time for us to FLY~

Demonstrating how to get up when you fall. Lol. i always believe, don be afraid to fall, or u'll never learn. this applies to cycling, blading, iceskating etc..No pain no gain. lol.

Richard lied to us & brought us to the SUMMIT!!!! ALL THE WAY UP!!! bear in mind we were beginners with just 3 hours of ski lesson while hes already an average snowboarder.. He told us it was juz 100m & pointed to a spot at the high hills where we could see. It seems scary but i convinced diana to try. Later did we realise.. it's 5-6 times HIGHER & LONGER den wat he told us.. it was the SUMMIT! faint.. the chairlift itself took at least 10-15mins!! I almost fainted, diana literally died. lol. I forgot to mention before this, we saw the paramedics bringing down the casualties,at least 4 times, with blankets covered OVER them on a snow ski...Don ask me what happened,might be hypothemia, might be............. U can make a guess.. It certainly doesnt help to make us feel comfortable... all i can think is... HONG GAN LIAO!!

Desperately trying to make ourselves feel better by taking photos..lol

All ready to ski down(ya rite..)

Well, i was still feeling ok cos afterall, i m talented. lol. But diana....couldnt get her to move down man.... was practically walking. no, slower den walking, but i don blame her.. its realli dangerous, without knowing the exact technique to slow down. U could just fly off the mountains & be 1 of those being on the snowski....

See the peak here, its not even the 100m that i m refering to...

Grp pics..

Isnt she cute?!?!?

Oh... & not forgetting to take beautiful scenary while up there.

Finally came down!! went up abt 3+, came down oni at 6. hahah. u can imagine how long we were up there, encouraging diana to go down. lol.

See my beginner skills, taken at a beginner slope. Quite pro rite.

Now see this!! totally pro loh! lol. Zai bor!! This is taken wen we finally came down from the summit. gotta admit its realli tuff in certain parts, damn steep & the snow is too hard, ma jiam ice, cant cut snow to slow.. u can practically see mi fly & fall. lol. even gotta leopard crawl up the slope to retrieve my fallen skis. lol.



Was a realli gd experience despite everything. Lol. White xmas!! woohooo!!! =) I wanna go back there again!! Wootz!
