The Egg Has Dropped: March 2007

Liberty Mountain (15th Mar)

Finally got expert snowboarder, Alan to let me tag along with him snowboarding. It's actually very late season, the resort was closing for the season after that weekend. However, it was a very good day for snowboarding because of some six inches of fresh powder on Friday night! (driving back home after work on Friday night wasn't a very happy thing for me though!)

After my third time snowboarding, I am now able to carve left and right. I think I'm actually ok on the slower 'green' slopes now. Even tried going down a 'single black diamond' slope (okay it was quite intimidating really!). They brought me to the free-style park but I think I'm still a few sessions away from doing tricks (basically I sucked).

Shucks, I realised I kinda want to do this often. Too bad, no more snow for me in the near future... maybe I should go Japan, catch up with my buddy Norman next winter season!

Adams Morgan (9th Mar)

We had a secret birthday party for Alan at Dupont Circle on the 9th March and we later went over to Chloe in Adams Morgan for the drinking.

Dupont Circle would be kind of like our Orchard Road and City Hall while Adams Morgan is all about pubs and small clubs, which is quite like our Mohammed Sultan.

It was tame and all at first... not quite like 1223 at Dupont Circle. However, I was only into my first drink when a cute latino girl approached me for a hot little dance! Wow! (Of course, thou shall not show photos!)

Satay, Char Kuey Teow, Nasi Lemak

Snowman (23rd Feb)

I woke up on Sunday to one big snowfall! After getting through the chore of getting snow of our cars and drivewy, I actually got to play sled with Ricardo and his son, Sebastian. We made two snowmen too! It was my very first time making a snowman and funnily, it was Ricardo's first time too. (Even though he was here for 6 years!)

*Snowman or baby cuter? My vote goes to baby!*

Happy Snowboarding New Year! (15th Feb)

It' been a while again but... here's some updates! Basically Chinese New Year here was a non-event... I didn't even feel that the day is THE DAY. Anyway, I still had fun! While it was Chinese New Year in Singapore (it was still eve for me), I was on my snowboarding trip with John and Jason to the Whitetail Mountains Ski Resort in Pennslyvania, about an hour's drive away. After my second time snowboarding, I finally figured out the bare basics to survive on a slope and of course, I 'graduated' to the longer green slope (green is for beginners) which was definitely way more fun than the baby slopes!
