Happy Christmas to All and Sundry.
Okay okay update on my cool and exciting existance. Pictures at the end of the post, if i remember.
I'm having rolling good times in California! California rocks. If i ever decide to move to North America, i'll move to Cali. The very foundations of Bean's house quakes with laughter as Bean, Nicole (sister of the Bean) and I laugh at every ridiculous detail. Her family is tres entertaining in all its quirky hilarity and emotional showdowns. We have good food everyday and ice cream when we want it. There is a giant complex of branded outlet stores, in the middle of end of season sale, in which to go crazy handing out money to strangers behind cash registers. I am having a rolling good time.
We went to Lake Tahoe, which is 7000 ft above sea level i think, for a spot of bracing mountain air and magnificent snow-covered mountains. And there, i learned to snowboard. Be jealous, all you dwellers of hot, humid, flooding, very flat Singapore. Okay fine, by snowboard i mean stand on board and try not to unstoppably zoom down the slope. With the right state of mind and a reasonable amount of psycho-motor coordination, i can get down the slope at one go. Otherwise, it's zoooooooom, fall on butt (ow.), get up (grunt.), try a turn, fall on knee (ow.), get up (grunt.), zooooooooooom, all the way down. I have a multitude of bruises (both the speckled kind and the solid coloured kind) on my knees and on my butt to prove it. Whole-body muscle aches restricted most activity the day after, and maximum activity consisted of waddling slowly from spot to spot and then sitting down with a great heaving sigh. The house we stayed in was huge, very nice and very mountain cabin-ish. There were not enough beds (we were 13 heads in all), so we brought along airbeds. Bean and i shared a double airbed which leaked so that in the morning you either found that your tailbone was resting most uncomfortably on the floor, or that your ribs were digging painfully into the ground. Moving on your side of the bed caused the other person to wobble around uncontrollably on the other side. Such fun!
Okay i'm quite tired of typing now. And i cant remember half the stuff i'm supposed to say. I'll continue the log of my Cali adventures in another post then.
