[its the only sport i'm decent at o_O]

so this past week has been hectic with work and busy season...BUT i got to go to colorado for the weekend for monica's HK studyabroad reunion snowboarding trip. yes, i was an intruder...but the more the merrier, no??



anyway, 4 of us flew into denver at around 1130pm on friday night and arrived at the cabin at 330am...so we were pretty set on the half day at breck. so everyone else had woken up early and hit the slopes..and 3 hours later the other late arrivers & i were packin up our gear to meet everyone... except i couldn't find my boots. someone had taken my boots. i automatically assumed it was monic since we had the same boots--except for minor detail that she's a size 6 and i'm a size 7. so i wore her boots til we met up at the base of breck..and after hugs and kisses we smiled for our first photo together =D


i decided that these two ladies were probably the best snowboarding partners i've ever had--just because we're pretty much all at the same skill level and have tons of interesting stories to share on the lifts ;p

*sigh* another christmas season has come and gone...it was definitely a lot more quiet this year both at my aunt's and at home. of course family time is still a great time but i miss the bigger family gatherings. a quick flashback to last christmas:

[the color of my new board]

so i've been pretty tired. i think i need some kind of energy supplement. or i can sleep more. or i can stop making plans. i should make plans to stay home and catch up with my tv shows...one of the highlights of my week was snuggling in bed with doggy and watching 2 episodes of desperate housewives. this season is SO good. anyway.

friday was cabana. and per usual, i never really feel like going and i don't really like the place/crowd but as always i have a great time with my friends <3

and then i ran into some familiar faces (as in two)

and don't you know i come here to visit ken enough that i sometimes guest dj??

naturally i ended the night with some hot juicy wiener ;p

the best part is the grilled onions!! (get your mind out of the gutter)

so then came saturday. checked out the sports challet tent sale with my newly connected buddy khoa. i went with the intention of checking out the goggles and gloves...but to my dismay there were an abundance of boards for pretty cheap. so naturally i perused the boards with excitement and was seriously considering the ride vista or the flow elation. the guy pretty much had me sold on the ride vista but it had unicorns on it. unicorns. that was pretty much a turn off so i opted out of impulse buying and left.

and for a brief moment, i saw my lil bro felix who came down on to OC for a business trip <3 style="font-style: italic;" href="http://www.myspace.com/thenightstheband"> myspace (click me) and not being impressed..but they were great when we saw them. and the singer was cool hipster guy. i want to be cool hipster.

the band that we actually went to go see wasn't as impressive live..but i still like listening to their songs online. sampling time:

anyway. after the viperroom we went down to old town pasadena for drinks. i'm now hooked on greyhounds. *sigh*

so on sunday i went to sports challet again and i got the snowboard. the ride vista..with unicorns. whatever, a good board for $130. i'm super excited to test drive it this weekend though =D

the 151 was a nicer color but a 10cm jump from my old board is a bit much. but gosh darnit, so much for getting a not-as-girly board.
