Snow

It's already been exactly 6 days since I left to Falls Creek. Time just passes so fast and while I have barely caught up with work, here comes weekend again. But before my memory fades, here is a little debrief of the trip.

I, Will and May gathered about 2-3 hours before departure in Safeway to get some last-minute groceries. It wasn't until 1.30am that we had to meet in Melbourne Central so we just sat in QV chatting away and devouring a roast chicken till it was time to move.

The journey took more than 5 hours, and by the time we reached, everyone was just dead exhausted. Yet, we couldn't check in till 3pm. So we just had our stuff chugged into this storage room, got our gears, and up we went to the mountains.

It was about this time that all the "muscle man", "big man", etc. nicknames bloomed into life. I was no more Ben or Benedict.

11pm we called for lunch. 12pm was time for our beginner's class, which I sucked the worst in the entire class. My slow learning made my first day rather frustrating.

Everyone slept early that night except the few of us who chose to sleep later and talked more cock. We however, woke up earlier than almost everyone else the day after.

So we started our day earlier as well. Will wasted one hour of his life accompanying me down a run. Unfortunately, a part of the 2nd day was still a little frustrating. Until I was enlightened by the lesson of the day: don't look at the board.

Just as the fun kicked in, I decided I should go grab a meal. Later, there wasn't much time left. So we went for this rather challenging run (at least for me). And I did great! I'm so glad I did 'coz it mattered that the last run put a big smile on my face and really great satisfaction.

We went back to return our stuff, ate, started drinking, talking cock and watching some friends sing and do impersonations.

After getting bored, I got back into the room only to see there were already a few additions to the bed talk crew. And so we talked and talked till 5.55am. And slept. Till 9am. We went up to the snow again, this time just to play instead of any boarding at all. And we headed home.
