back from rovaniemi, though tired but still wanna try skiing! super cheap lor 12 eur only leh. for 4 hours actually but we only used 2 cos no time and it was indeed tiring la..be4 we went, the gals who had tried be4 alr mentioned how tiring ur legs will be..haha no fake. the beginning was really torturous lor..cant even climb up to the automated rope which will pull u up. yea we tried the beginner slope of cos. so no ski rail to take up. but well must persevere. everything must start from the bottom wat. as long u can overcome the starting which is usually the hardest, the rest of the obstacles no kick le. dunno how long i took to finally managed it up lor. then the first time ski down, no doubt will fall la...so i'm all prepared and must aim for a good spot to fall nicely..dun want to get injured lor. total lost control of it...the skis just glided down the snowed slope.
with the limited info that we got from eliz....yea very nice of her to bring us there ..but she never ski...must be bored waiting for us..really sorry. the rest all experiments liao lor..actually the basics quite similar to ice skating just that the thing on the feet is longer and more din dei. then got a mother with son and daughter helped us leh.. they just come over and guided us! so nice hor..so there are many pple in the world who are really kind! or maybe they are rare but i'm really lucky to keep meeting them. the son super cute lor..and so cool..think he'll become a super zai skiier when he grows up..but he personal tutor to merv la so jealous..haha but he'll shout out to me sometimes when i'm near him..so encouraging lor..really deserve a pat. but i got coached by the mother who's more pro of cos..they speak limited english but still we managed to get ideas across. but very scary..haha she keeps asking me to try..cos practice makes perfect mah. but of cos under her guidance, i quickly picked up some techniques . then i haven even learn braking she teach me turning le leh...like ski in the zig-zag way. looks easy but totally cant turn my feets at all. i think really need the whole body to shift but it'll be like on a motor bike when one really turns at a super small angle...scared will fall. really fun lor..if given more time and a longer slope should be able to get it, cos on the short slope, be4 i could turn reach the bottom liao..super shuang lor when u ski down..very cooling..
bus to the airport and then flight back london. reached late. last bus was supposed to be 2340. but we 're still stuck at the customs...super long queue despite being able to take our backpacks up as hand carry luggage. they're actually too big la..and i've no space for it. anyway i called up the bus coy to check if the bus could wait for us. luckily he said there're many buses from stansted out to victoria. and said there's one at 12. ok..so gd we should be able to get out by then. slp all the way during the one hr bus ride. woke up at bakers, which is near victoria.
