First weekend back to school is infamously know for it’s ski trips and this year is no exception. It’s obviously time to hit the slopes and shred some powder. Except…ohhh maybe, I’ve never snowboard before in my life. This promises to be a tres interesting weekend filled with plenty of falls, sore butts and aching bones.

Because I’m heading out to Silver Star Mountain Resort with all the wonderful people from SSA (Singapore Student Association). I failed to do my research back in October as I assumed Silver Star would be somewhere by Whistler-ish. Big Joke. Turns out, it’s over 8-ish hours away from UBC by Vernon. H#S7%^*VSS WHAAAAAT??? I’m gonna be spending more time on the bus than on the slopes. Stay positive. I’m sure the bus ride will be fun. As the quote goes, “Sometimes the journey is more rewarding then the destination.”

A little preview of my weekend:

Nahhhh…I WISH! It’s probably gonna look more like this:

So any tips for me?

& I honestly don’t know what the fuss is all about. I feel like a pedophile every time Taylor Lautner (aka Jacob) comes on. He’s ONLY 17. Doesn’t really help when everyone in the crowd “oohs” and “ahhhs” every time Jacob takes off his shirt. We went to the 7:30 show at the Scotiabank theatre downtown. Of course it was jammed packed with preteen girls. Thank god I didn’t see any of those “Team Edward”, “Team Jacob” shirts. Should have known better than to show up 30 minutes before the movie, we were stuck with those so-close-to-the-screen seats that my neck still aches today. I liked Twilight, but 2 hours of New Moon, for me, was too much. Too mushy gushy. Too lovely dovey.

Should have watched UFC last night instead.
