Hey all, it is the Kok again... well, it is SPRING TIME!!! and what better way to spend it other than sitting below the beautiful sakura trees and getting drunk.

Hie all.... The Kok is back to post another off-hand entry. Well, actually I told Rong that I'll be going snowboarding and she pestered me to send her photos... I told her that I am just too FAT and LAZY to do something like that so she asked me to defile this blog site for cheerleading with my photos... so oh well, i shall do just that... at least when someone else pesters me with requests for photos, then i can just direct them to this blog site. good for me and good for team Spectrum too as I will be directing traffic to this site. I am such a nice person....
Anyway, enough of bull, below are some pictures of the ski lodge I went to. The place is called Naeba 苗場. Quite a popular spot and there is a hotel right in front of the mountain. The hotel is called Prince hotel. Other than the ski lodge, I dont find anything else interesting about that place which makes me wonder how the hotel can survive by just operating during winter season and possibly be empty during the rest of the year. Someone told me that there is something called grass skiing!!!! well, basically, just put wheels on the ski and there you go... the idea sounds a little uninviting to me as it becomes something like a plain roller blading. so who pays hundreds of dollars to go on top of a mountain to blade down..... makes no sense....
anyway, yes, the photos.... First up! of course, the Hotel!

This picture was taken at the first lift stop... well that means that it is one of the lower spots for beginners... well, actually there is another spot for really first time learners but then there arent any lifts there. it is actually just a short walk up and then sliding down but then walking up the slope is hard work! so might as well just go up somewhere for the warm up run...
You can see that the mountain is not fully white... well, that is because I went there at the end of winter where the snow started to melt... Usually the whole place would be white and after a day of snowboarding, your eyes get so tired from looking at something so white the whole day... yeah, the sun reflecting off the snow does not help either...

After a few rounds of warming up, it is time to go up up up the mountain... This picture was taken when I was riding up the gondola.... Basically there are two types of ride up... the gondola which is faster and goes up to higher places and the normal ski chairs for short distances.

You can see how far from the hotel the view is and it is only about 3/4 the way up... hehe... Anyway, the snowboard and ski gear is stored outside the gondola. Not sure if you can see it clearly or not but if you look closer to the other gondolas, you can see that there is a small pocket by the side of the car.

Too bad the window of the gondola was stuck... this picture was taken behind the glass window so it is not that clear but then still ok la..... mai hiam.





Well, this is a picture of the chairs... haha... no protection!!! well, actually there is but then too troublesome to pull the protection bars down... anyway, can see a person on top!!!

For snowboarders, to get on the chair, you would have to take off one side of the latch to get on the chair. so you would be walking very akwardly or hopping like crazy or if you are very pro, then can easily slide without any problem. i am still at the walking akwardly stage...

getting on the chair is of course not a problem but then getting off is.... for newbs, usually they would fall down when trying to get off and the people manning the chairs would have to stop the machine so that the people from behind would not pile up... well, that would be a scene.... pros will just slide down... i wonder how they do that...

Well, this is somewhere a little bit higher than where the gondola takes you... there is another ride at the end of the gondola and it takes you to this gentle little slope.... yeah, also good for beginners. also good for learning new boarding style which i am trying to some degree of success. YAY!!!

anyway, you can see some nice sceneries too!! but then of course when you are up here, you would have to go down... the steep slope starts at somewhere around the small little hut on the bottom right side of this picture... but of course, it is damn fun to be sliding down at break neck speed.... then the falling down and rolling over a few times and ending up with your head in the snow and legs up in the air is also quite fun... although unglam.


Next PIC!!! Of course, how can i not post a pic of me in my snowboard... rented of course... along with the clothes...
Anyway, not the best pic that i have taken since it is showing off my large butt which looks like i crapped myself but then i dont have any other than this... my friend's cam so i gotta live with the imaginary crap in my pants....

Well, all in all good fun! but alot of stress on your thighs especially on your master leg... which is the one behind. mine is my right leg. it matters which master leg you use because you would have to adjust the clamps on the board. boards for left master legs are called "goofy". funny name... at least it is not called "weirdo".






Total Cost: about 14,000yen which is close to SGD200 per trip (1SGD = 70yen... Actually about 73yen as i type this). Includes two way bus trip (about 6 hours ride), board rental, wear rental, bath, lunch and other knick knacks along the trip.

For those who wanna go pro and buy their own equipment.... cost breakdown:
Ski wear top and bottom: 50 ~ 70k yen
Boarding shoes: 30 ~ 50k yen
Board clamp: 30 ~ 50k yen
Board: 50 ~ 70k yen

well, i will just stick to rental.... Anyway, end of story telling.....
Oh yeah! Congrats to Spectrum for the 1st runner up for group stunting. As usual, nice smile Regine!! And to the person who wrote "Fuck You" on CR's birthday card, two thumbs up.

Silent Vocals VI In Motion




Went to a dance concert with some Spectrumites on Thursday. Silent Vocals VI In Motion. It was organised by the AJC Dance Society @ the Victoria Theatre. I'm not exactly a dance person, but Jianning was performing so I went there to show her my support.


Supposed to meet the rest @ 545pm but Regine and I both forgot our tickets. So we ended up 30min late. We went to BK at Raffles City for (quick) dinner. Uncle Law looked like he was typing on an invisible keyboard on the counter. Typing has became a part of him already.

Regine and I certainly dressed for the occasion. I like her head-wear that nite. Here are the three guys who joined us that evening. Uncle Law just done with IA so he was dressed up. Edward purposely wore a casual shirt with his loafers. The most informal of all, Mr CR, who simply dressed in his polo tee and jeans.
Here comes the vampire... (with DOUBLE eye bags! OMG!) And then I bit Regine and there were two vampires.
The flowers we bought for Ning.
We were there on time and had to wait for quite a while for the show to start. Uncle looked curious. CR looked sleepy. And Regine looked busty!!!
CR's note : Regine (aka elegant) was wearing ultimate push ups that day -.-

In the end, Regine was too bored and decided to take my mascara, spread out her tools and doll herself up. Pretty impressive since there wasn't much light in the theatre.

CR's notë: it was ''pretty'' impressive cos dark dark cannot see =pPp

Ning's No.1 fan!!! What he wore that nite was nice, but he did look a little like he just played a game of golf. Me and my Edward. My makeup was a little too thick that nite so I looked real pale. As for Edward's weird expression, well, let's just say that he can never get used to taking pic with the flash light on.
Met one of my SAJC kids there. Regine and I kept taking pic with him, as we tried to suck in more 'youthfulness' from him!


Regine and I did a scorpion outside Victoria Theatre, beside Sir Thomas Stamford Raffles. Couldn't hold the scorpion and my leg bounced back to position before the pic could be taken. So I looked totali insincere in the pic. Regine was complaining her jeans were too tight. Haha. But her scorpion turned out fine!
The night sky outside Victoria Theatre.
Went down to Lau Pa Sat for supper after the concert ended. The ice kachang there is dirt cheap! $1.70 for a big bowl of ice and beans.
Ning and her dude ordered BBQ sting ray. Looked damn spicy!!!

Ning's dude drove Edward and I back to my place after supper. So nice of him =)
