Since coming here, I've only been skiing twice. Didn't really care
much for it, as the equipment rental and lift tickets were terribly
expensive (I don't own any of my own ski equipment). Plus, I' m not
exactly the epitome of grace on skis--if you see an Asian guy
tumbling down the 'bunny' slope with his skis and poles following
not far behind, that'll most likely be me. 
There's probably enough of an Asian community here to be able to
find mooncakes at some of the Asian grocery stores, but I haven't
looked. Actually, what I [b]really miss are the pineapple
tarts served during the Lunar New Year.

Yeap, some days can be quite bad. That's when I use my vacation
days as snowed-in days. I'm not about to drive in that nasty
weather and then ended up with nothing to do at work. Gosh, it's
been SO QUIET even with the school holidays over. I thought
everyone's back at work, workload should start coming in. Oh, back
to snow. Some people do switch to winter tyres but I have all
season so I don't.
Hee hee.....your skiing experience. Bunny hill ah? Well, at least
you dare try. In any case, you do have two feathers on your cap
already. Your flying licence and that firing range thingy. Imagine,
you tell people "I'm going to the range." And they asked "which
golf course?" 
Oh, pineapple tarts.......I love it. Did you read that I
"swallowed" 11 mini pineapple-filled mooncakes. Oh, the pastry was
really thin and the filling so generous. Oh, I feel like a pig.
