Love to try new things and skiing was one of them!! Beijing ain't cold enough this period for snow, but what does it matter, we had snow all the same, man-made!

Yeap, the gang of 4 ladies who skiied. the rest built snow man. Me almost drowned in that oversized rented ski jacket.

So there it was, the snow man. Couldn't stop laughing when i saw it, the kids did a great job at making a snowman fit for halloween :P

We've got 2 hours of basic skiing lesson from the instructor there and that's the pose that we're suppose to get into. I would be unbashful and say that basic skiing isn't as hard as i thought it would be :)

that's just me and my sis acting goofy.

Isn't my dad handsome? I love his hat!! Usually the photographer gets forgotten, so i had to grab him for a shot.

Only when we realise how little time we have that we begin to treasure every moment of it. When i was younger, family wasn't a priority. i always make time for friends and when it comes to family, its just routine. But now, i just want to spend time with them doing things that we enjoy or they enjoy. even if it means just watching TV with my dad. Now i'm not afraid of initiating hugs because if i can hug good friends so easily, why can't i put pride aside to hug my family. And i'm no longer ashamed of shedding tears at parting because why should i be afraid to show that i'll miss them and why hide feelings from them when they are the closest ones... Well, just gotta buck up, do my thing and look forward to seeing them in a year's time.
