Good news & bad news

Lets start with the good news first... I got my tax return back. Yayyy... Its not much but it is better than nothing. The system here is really efficient. I got it in just within a week. Talk about fast. Then the bad news, Matt is quitting his job. He is going to a trip to Europe and not sure when he will be back. Yup, I will missed his crazy antic though. Then the next day, Nicky approached me and said that she's leaving as well. Not now but another 2 weeks time. What??? I'm definitely going to miss her too. She is like the best boss/manager a person could ever have. "Why??? Are you being transferred to other places???", I asked her and she replied that she just want to have a rest. "It's been 11 years already and I need a break". Ermm, wishing you all the best. Yeah, I'm leaving too... but not now... Just have to wait for the right time... Cheers...

This is mine... Russian Blintz, yummy... Crepes filled with mascarpone cream and plum sultanas with succulent strawberry and a scoop of organic ice cream & sprinkled with some icing sugar... Among my favourite dishes here.

Destiny or coincident??? (Suratan atau kebetulan???)

IMGP8487_3008x2000
A dream is just a dream...but what if it is actually some sort of a sign???

IMGP8488_3008x2000
Not sure though... Something happen today (Not today but I just realised it).
Something that relates with my dream previously... Is it a coincident???

IMGP8492_3008x2000
Destiny has chosen its path... And now, we are thousand miles apart... History could not be repeated??? Is it??? I have chosen my path... So, no more turning back now.

P/s For me to remember...

Skiing??? I prefer snowboarding instead

IMGP8254_3008x2000
It's cold, it's crowded, it's snowing... I'm hungry...

IMGP8255_3008x2000
Free entertainment. Great rendering of 'Semi Charmed Life' by this guy.

IMGP8174_3008x2000
Can you see that thing??? The one inside the plastic bags. Yes, yes... foods...

IMGP8184_3008x2000
Couldn't stand eating outside...It's freezing... My hands are numb already (Next time don't forget to bring fork & spoon - Reminder to myself)... Need to find a shelter (After eating half of the food).

IMGP8177_3008x2000
Peekaboo!!!

IMGP8271_3008x2000
Yeah, that's me...

IMGP8182_3008x2000
After tumbling for most of the time... Now I have to agree with you Stefan "Skiing is hard to learn but easy to master unlike snowboarding which is the opposite, it is easy to learn but definitely hard to master". What say you???

IMGP8200_3008x2000
Me again... As usual, playing the fool. Luckily they didn't noticed it. Peaceeee...

IMGP8205_3008x2000
Now, this is what I call a proper Snowman (just compare it with the one that i made in Mount Hotham)...

IMGP8194_3008x2000
Keep your balance Izzy... Wait, wait, wait... Hold on for a second... OK, it's done...

IMGP8187_3008x2000
Can I borrow yours???

IMGP8249_3008x2000
Weekend plus peak winter equals to "crowded".

IMGP8234_3008x2000
Since this is my first time skiing and I'm still not good at it, there is no point of me going higher up.

IMGP8232_3008x2000
It is time to rest.

IMGP8263_3008x2000
Come on, move..move...It is not moving dude...

IMGP8275_3008x2000
"Ais Kepal" just add syrup... Any taker???

IMGP8280_3008x2000
I really loves this place but too bad, we have to make a move... Maybe some other time...

P/s Something to remember...

Mount Buller - Ehsan Club

IMGP8127_3008x2000
At first, I'm supposed to go there by bus but unfortunately the organizer did some mistake by allowing more people to join the trip without taking into account the bus seating capacity. Duhhh, so they said that they randomly picked the lucky one to go there by Tarago (Estima in M'sia). Do they considered me as lucky???

IMGP8126_3008x2000
Met with new friends there. It was a long journey so to keep everyone entertain we played riddles, there's even a story telling session and not forgetting the ice-breaking session as well.
This is Mansfield. The prices for renting the equipments here are really high so we decided to search for other places. Managed to find a cheaper one and they even gave us 10% discount for students. What a bargain indeed.

IMGP8135_3008x2000
This time around i opted for skiing. A first time for me.

IMGP8137_3008x2000
Everyone else choosen snowboard except me... The alluring factor of snowboarding really tempted me to change my mind. Nahh, lets give ski a try first.

IMGP8143_3008x2000
Many to choose from...

IMGP8140_3008x2000
"Don't forget to put your name on the ski" said Frank (the bald guy behind the ski set)

IMGP8144_3008x2000
The infamous tyre chain... No, no, no... I'm not going to do it again... Luckily we didn't need to use it. What a relief indeed. It is really a pain in the ass to assemble it.

IMGP8149_3008x2000
We encountered another problem, there are 8 persons occupying the Tarago plus with their belonging then there are another additional 6 sets of snowboard plus 1 ski set. So the question right now, how the hell we are supposed to put those extra equipments??? It's already cramped enough before and now... The solution??? Just put it on our lap...Duhhh, felt like a sardine in a can for a moment.

IMGP8154_3008x2000
The journey continues from Mansfield to Mount Buller... Yayyyyy...
In reality, I was very, very tired and sleepy. I didn't sleep the whole night. Why??? As usual, I finished working at 2 AM and the bus for the trip depart at 6 AM. There is a very high percentage that I might overslept so better not to sleep rather than miss the trip.

IMGP8168_3008x2000
Here we are... Mount Buller...

IMGP8172_3008x2000
Searching for a spot to settle down.

P/s I want to go to another ski trip...

Quote of the day

IMGP7405_2000x3008
Is this the same Monster Burger that I encountered before??? Nope, this one is different. Same place, same location but at a different time.
Someone said to me "Chance only come once in life, if you miss it, you miss it forever...."
Actually I don't quite agree on that. Sometimes, chances or opportunities do comes twice, thrice or not at all. For me, it's all boils down to one thing... Luck, fate, destiny (actually not one but a few). But I preferred not to depend on those thing. Only we alone can shape our own future.

Remember this quote...
Yesterday Is History, Tomorrow Is a Mystery, but Today Is a Gift. That Is Why It Is Called the Present... (Master Oogway-Kungfu Panda)

P/s Thanks to everyone for your encouraging words... Really appreciate it... Thanks again...
