+ mood: bored

+ listening to: atreyu - you eclipsed by me

+ i know, i know… even in summer i, or should i say we (karl & i), have been spending so much time in the snow. the cold weather feels so good compared to the humid and sticky feeling that you get during hot seasons. i hate the hot weather, and it is odd because i come from a place that had the very thing i hate, pretty much 3/4 of the year was hot and dry. the rest would have been the season of rain and monsoons that caused a lot of floods and yet i still remember most of it to be humid and sticky. ugh!

+  anyway, this place called snowplanet is an indoor ski field where i spent half of my summer. it is pretty cool having it just 25 minutes away from home cuz you went into this huge freezer, then come out feeling like you’re in an oven, baking. but these days, outside the big freezer was almost the same temperature (-5 c) as it was inside. of course im exaggerating cuz it never gets that cold in auckland. there are some photos of this place in my photo album > snowboarding.

+ i was so looking forward at going down at the real ski fields this coming weekend. but it turns out that it looks like its going to be crappy except sunday. we usually drive down on friday nights after work for round about 4 hours just to get there and stay with at my mum’s house. but now that she’s moved somewhere else, we’re gonna be staying at my step-grandparents. anyway, we usually don’t stay that long on the sunday cuz we have to drive back home to get ready for work the next day. *haaay* let’s cross fingers and hope the weather’s going to change so we can go down this weekend.

+ these photos were taken from the whakapapa ski field webcam today, one at 10am and other at 2pm. the weather packed in during the afternoon *:
