Birthday, came and gone!

Dear readers of my blog. I know I have not been too good in updating my page. Let me not keep you away from the details any longer.

My birthday has come and gone. I've even gone to the zoo and saw what kind of animals they have in enclosures. Surprisingly, they're not in trap-like enclosure just the open ones. If you know what I mean.

It took approximately three hours and thirty minutes to actually go around the whole zoo. The only warning I would like to give you is that there are many many slopes with never ending turns and at the same time taking those slopes actually make you miss a few sites and that means turning back. Turning back uses more time. So all in, if the zoo does not have that many slopes and turn-offs we would not have wasted so much time there. Other than that it was all educational!

It's a Babboon

penis erect.. no diference huh!


Oh yes I also mentioned my birthday came around. Well I have turned twenty four this year. Yes, thank you for your big wishes. Thank you. Thank you.
I have gotten myself many presents for turning twenty four. To me twenty four is a like the big three-O. It's the time where I'm unofficially mid-twenties (minus that one year), yet still sounding young. I've too given myself the "key" of freedom that normally is given to twentyone year olds because my parents did not give it to me. So basically I've just done them a favour!

The main 'key' that I've gotten myself is a nice five centimetre tattoo of the 'devil'. In every nook and crany of life there is good and bad. If we do not have that to weigh, we then wouldn't be who we are today. And I am very glad we have such senses in us.

Beauty on canvas....


I've even spent a 'bomb' on my hair. I got it permed and now it's got LIFE!!! No longer the flat piece of hair falling all over in front of me when I eat.

The other big present I got myself is the 30gb Ipod! I have finally gotten an Ipod that I've been longing so much for!!! Nothing much to say just that I am extremely happy! I am still trying to figure out the many things it has. I'll update you when I know it hundred percent, or even ninety five percent if not.

To sum it all up, I've done alot of things involving money but I will not forget them and the experiences that come with it!!

Snowboarding.. when can I do it again?

I came back not long ago from snowboarding in Vancouver. I have to say this time and time again, it was so fun!!! Spent a big sum of money but that's not the issue here.. it's snowboarding!
Little did I realise there are so many asians in Vancouver... and most of them know the mountains well enough. Ah enough of them... it's about me and my friends.
Well, my friends and I were there for the first time (except for one person) and we were so excited by the sight of snow, and a whole mountain of it. Plenty of pictures we taken, snow being thrown at, and half the time sitting on the snow getting my many layers of clothing wet right through to my butt.

First and foremost, one must get into gear. That is to get the snowboard and proper attire. Getting everything ready was a big task. We spent an hour and a half getting properly attired (without any supervision) and about another thirty minutes laughing our heads off at each other getting dressed!!

We then headed off for our two-hour crash course on snowboarding! The instructors weren't exactly 'teaching' us but merely standing there in their instructor jackets looking cool with ski caps and goggles on.
I have to admit, I had difficulty trying to stand up at first, but got a hang of it soon after. The initial "run" down the slope, took about ten to fifteen minutes with alittle help from the instructor telling you to "put your weight on your heel" about twenty times.
When I finally got to the foot of the slope, I had to remove the board from my feet and walk up with it in thick heavy clothing and boots that just would not allow one to stand with knees straight. It was a struggle really....

Well, I got a hundred percent better (quote the instructor) after many many falls on my buttocks (that zzznnnggg the body) and landing face forward into the snow. It wasn't easy but practice made it all 'perfect'.

We had to make a leave just 4 hours into it because my dear girlfriend's fingers were turning blue. Itwas just too bad we had to go so soon but we had a darn good time!

Grouse Mountain... I'll be back!!!
