Silver Bells!

Finally have a chance to blog ... its been pretty hectic the last day or so with all the rushing between the airport, home, errands and Krispe Kremes. But the deeds are done (albeit with an extended 15 hr flight due to a fuel stopover in Frankfurt - as one says it can only happen to me! haha)

Val D'Isere, French Alps.
Almost certainly one of the very best trips I've has so far. The company was great!!! The food was oomphalicious!!! The people we met were nutty (Stormy), cool (Coco) and eccentric (Eduardo)!!! The skiing was really just an Atom Bomb! Shux ... withdrawal symptoms now ...
My largest travel group so far (excluding school trips) - Nolly, Wee Yang, her cousins Sean and Zhong Han and brother Luke, Wilf, Cass, Vet, Myself and Sarah (Bera!) and Grace.
Little thoughts about the my travel buddies:
Joke-girl of the trip, Grace - the missing passport girl, the "skiing while eating" feeling girl, the "yoghurt boxes" as souvenior girl and the "think I can ski down the black slope" girl
Joke guy of the trip, Zhonghan: racing up ramps and jumps, making crazy jokes and being a bum, walking around in a t-shirt in the freezing cold (but complaining!), the snow-dog boy
Sarah Bera, the food-photographer, the "wear one t-shirt for the entire trip girl", the bravest girl I have ever met haha ;p, the Coco-lover
Wilf and Cass, our room mates, uncle and auntie haha, the former a DAMN PRO skiier, route planner, the "memorize every-card-man", the man with the BIG camera; the latter, the amah-bag girl, the one who saved my ass with her moisturizer and contact lens solution, the girl who crashed into Moo
Nolly and Yang, long-suffering father and mother to the little family haha; the ski-backwards man and falling-down lady (oops!)
Bug-eyed girl, always falling off the button lift, the dear birthday girl ;p, the one who doesn't like the heights but wants to ski, the girl who received a ton of bruises, the snow-angel!
Moi? The tissue-recycling guy, the plastic-bag-in-the-shoe-guy (;p), the making-faces-till-you-get-scolded-by-the-air-stewardess-guy, the camera-crazy, the snow-man guy (yeap you'll see the snow man later!!!), the memory-deficient bridge player!

Val D'Isere Theme Song

Silver bells, silver bells
It's Christmas time in the city
Ring-a-ling, hear them ring
Soon it will be Christmas day

City sidewalks, busy sidewalks
Dressed in holiday style
In the air
There's a feeling of Christmas

Children laughing
People passing
Meeting smile after smile
And on ev'ry street corner you'll hear

Silver bells, silver bells
It's Christmas time in the city
Ring-a-ling, hear them ring
Soon it will be Christmas day
