Merry Christmas One & All..

It's Christmas... i'm having a uber cold Christmas. I know a few of you envy me. I wouldn't want a rainy Christmas season too, if you ask me. This is in ref to the amount of rain water Singapore has been accumulating. The weather in Midwest is extremely forgiving this year, and wonderful as it is. There are pros & cons. The pros being that i could get away with a sweater, instead of a bubble jacket or a thick wool coat, as i always do. For the cons... sigh....

My search for a white Christmas is extremely futile this year. The family left for a ski trip on Christmas Eve up at Perfect North Snow Resort in Indiana. For the first time, Indy has no snow during Dec, which is weird. So when the family got there, we had to be contented with artificial snow. Of cos, the whole feeling of that cold air hitting your face, while you glide down the slopes makes you forget the whole artificial snow, and the feeling is uber exhilerating, very addictive, and you just wish you can be out there the whole day. I skipped lunch, only had some coke and just went to hit the slopes the entire day, swapping between ski and snowboard. Of cos snap on boards sucks, i prefer the whole sneaker boot slip on. I hate ski lifts still, due to my phobia of heights. But the feeling of that adrenaline rush down the slopes is enough to make me suck it all up and just do it. I got by listening to my ipod shuffley, loaded with tons of Linkin Park, Prodigy, BEPs, Ludacris, mostly rap, rock & beats. By the time the park closes at 4pm (early, due to Christmas Eve), the artificial snow is almost done, you could see patches of ground all over the slopes. Sigh... and you thought Midwest has a lot of snow.

Whatever the case is, the 5 hours car ride up North is worth it. The 9am-4pm on the slopes is definitely worth it, despite i only had hotcakes for breakfast and coke & root beer in between runs. And another 5 hours back down to home.... It's all worth it.

Merry Christmas to you guys...
xoxo,
Eve
