Hi All!
Finally I feel like I have the time to just sit down and "breathe" lol
The last month or so has just been sooo crazy for me =(
It was exam after exam after exam plus assignments and laboratory work then more tests and the list just continues to go on... ><
*sigh...*
good thing is that most of my midterms are over...(not to mention I successfuly survived through it haha)
bad thing is that means it's the start of my final exams lol
BUT! I've decided to take at least half a week off to just relax and catch up on rest hehe (lol it's gonna take A LOT of rest to get rid of my panda face @_@)

So to celebrate the nearing of completing our midterms, some of my classmates and I planned a one day trip to go visit the mountains last weekend to do some snowboarding / skiing =)
It was my first time snowboarding ^^ (actually I think I was falling more than actually snowboarding lol)
It was sooo fun! For anyone who gets the opportunity to visit the North (ie. Canada hehe) I definitely recommend that you at least try some of our winter sports!

This is where we went

It looks large in the picture...but this place that we went to is actually really small.
This picture is of some of my friends going down the hill =)

Haha this is the hill that I stayed on (as you can see it's a lot smaller than the other ones lol)

Here is a picture of my friend and his awesome looking outfit ^_~

Because I fell so much...my body suffered A LOT the day after lol
I was sooo sore and my entire body was so achy!
I was taught that if you must fall...always just fall on your bum! (lol hands are important so save them no matter what! =P )
And...that's what I did! lol so....I basically had bruises everywhere! lol
Good thing is I didn't suffer from any severe injuries that day =) (or else my parents would have been really upset with me =S )
My friends were actually all really good at snowboarding already
*sigh...* only myself and another individual were complete amateurs...
we did end up hiring an instructor that day...(turned out to be a really good looking one too lol =P)
I really want to try snowboarding more so I can enjoy the larger hills and mountains with all my friends (no more bunny hill haha).
Not to mention it will also be an excuse for me to purchase a complete set of gear since it looks so awesome lol
Motivation to improve! ^___^

Tomorrow my faculty is holding an event to raise money where all proceeds will go towards Red Cross to help Japan. One of our local radio stations will also be there selling these t-shirts:

I am so glad that the students in my school put together this event despite everybody's ridiculously busy schedules. I hope many people will attend this event =)
I am also very touched by what I see from the world where people initiate movements to help every time a certain country is struggling through hardship. A little naive of me to think this, but hopefully we can all work together to make the world a better place =)
Thanks for reading! See ya! ^^
