its finally snowing

Day 3 in Japan @ Hakuba

Took 4 hrs train to come hakuba from tokyo. Its a little village with nothing much to do except snow activites. Speaking of which, we have signed up for a full day snowboarding course tomorrow. Expensive! Lesson: 9500yen, Ski Gears: 3500yen, Ski clothings: 3000yen, Ski shades: 3980yen (we bought this)and ski pass: 4600yen.

Although its not snowing now, the forcast says it will snow starting tonight. Its already cold enough now but snowing would be interesting.

View at our hotel window is nothing but breathtaking!




Its a cosy little lodge ( u cant even locate it on the map) where there is no tv in the room. More like a hostel, it has a communal area for tv, eating and a kitchen! Not too sure if we will get a chance to cook here.

Look forward to snowboardng tomorrow! expect it to be a tiring day!

Sorry, i didnt mean to backstab you

That was what somebody told me today. Accidental backstabbing, i say.

Mr G's 'business trip' to Sydney

Mr G went sydney for a week! He didnt bring me along cos:

1) i do not have extra leave as i have planned all leaves till the end of the year and this is pretty last minute

2)It is freaking expensive to book airticket 1 week prior to departure!

So in the end, i was left in Singapore ..with some leave to clear. 3 days to be exact.
