it's an annual winter function up in the snowy mountains. there were a whole lot of events; the one we participated in was called 'splash for cash'. the rule is simple: the best splash get the cash. see this and you'll understand better! (may have to right click and save... i'm not a guru in html...)
last year, our 'frigate' got us the second spot. this year, we had a 'submarine' and we got second again! (hmmm... why cant we get first??)
the winning contraction:
frankly speaking, i dont feel much pride in the win. simply bcos there was onli 4 teams participating this year (compared to last year where there was around 10).
also bcos i didnt bother to involve myself in the construction of the contraction. not just me. in fact, all the engineers in my division just couldnt be bothered. we needed the time for exams and that stupid design project last semester. would we have gotten the first, if the engineers decide to help out?
anyway, we get the 400 bucks for coming second and everyone is happy... at least our DO is. that should keep him away from us for a while.
the sunday wasnt that great. my main fun was on saturday where i finally learnt to snowboard! it was a great experience, but it pays to be cool... my muscles were so sore that i had to force my self out of bed the next morning. my whole body was so stiff that i could hardly move.
i picked up a $7-lesson (how cool is that!) and got all the basics to get moving within a short 2-hour session. i didnt fall as much as i had expected (probably all thanks to height and agility).
soon as i began to pick up speed and move on to steeper slope, i began to do 'somersault' and '360'.... well, uncontrallably. haha...they were hard falls, but i learnt well too.
hope to get up there soon~
