I spent Christmas snowboarding in Stowe, Vermont with my friends here. There with 10 of us, so we went in 2 cars, and rented an awesome huge house to accomodate all of us.

It even had a real working fireplace too!

Stowe is by far the best ski resort I've been to so far (not that I've been to many, but 3 others lah)...
The mountain was beautiful, the snow perfect, and the facilities amazing! We were also blessed with sunny weather on Christmas day! Above 0C yeay!

On some days its -22C at Stowe OMG Y_Y

My 2 friends and I hired a guy we found on Craigslist to give us a private snowboarding lesson which lasted the whole day. Although a little pricey, every minute of it was well worth my money spent. I learned more in a day with Jack (the instructor) over my lousy attempt to self-improve (with 3 short group lessons) last year. My epiphany has renewed my interest in snowboarding and I'm excited to go again!

As an added bonus, Jack is really good looking! Ai Ping and Sue (who both ski) were really jealous of me hehehe.

Unfortunately, at the very end of the day, at the very end of our last run, Hau Jia fell and broke his wrist (badly).

Now I'm quite freaked out and might even do the 'uncool' thing of wearing wrist guards. (Well I suppose it's even more uncool to not be able to snowboard for the rest of the season, and not be able to do regular daily things easily).

Will update with more pictures soon!

Dayana's husband just tagged some pictures of her so it appeared on my newsfeed on Facebook.

Then one picture led to another and before I knew it I was stalking Dayana's whole album.

I suddenly miss my girls very very much.

Alisa, Dayana, Dayana (yeah there's 2), Naz, Z, Nikky......I miss you guys loads!

I don't think any of you read my blog so you wouldn't know.

So yesterday a Thai girl told me that in Thailand, it is OK to tease each other as fat.

Yes, you can make fat jokes about the fat girl, in front of the fat girl, and she'd be OK with it.

You can make fat jokes to just about anyone, and they'd be OK with it. They'd probably laugh along too.

My friend asked me if it was the same in Malaysia?

HELLLLL NO!

The worst people to even mention the word 'fat' to is girls. Call them fat and they'd hate you for life. Drop subtle hints that they are fat and they'd call you a bitch.

My guy friends some how think the best person to tell a girl she's fat (for her own good and kesedaran of course, before it goes way out of control).....should be another girl.

I'll bet my bottom dollar that that girl will tell other people "WTF? Who does she think she is? Does she think she is so hot?!"

I think guys should be the one doing it.....but I can't really think of a good way to drop the bomb.

Another friend thinks the best solution is for a gay guy to do it.....alot of gay guys already have a bad rep for saying bitchy things anyway hehe.

You must be thinking why do I even bother thinking up ways to tell someone they are piling on weight? I should just "embrace the fat" and let them be "happy in their own skin"?

I have a sneaky feeling that the person who came up with that tag line is also fat.
