Continued from the previous entry, we headed to the Grouse mountain in noon. Never did i expect that it was snowing there, which explains why when i first stepped out of the bus, i mistook snow as rain! hahaha. well you cant blame a tropical gal for being ignorant of this geographical knowledge. guess the next time they want to teach about the different types of climate and all the coniferous trees etc, its good to experience it to really get the 'feel' and thus, easier to connect to it.
all of us are simply thrilled by the snow! weather was especially good as there isnt any strong wind. instead, there was sunshine which is like such a huge contrast between the cold snow and hot sun, the white snow and bright sun, its just so amazing how two different things can stirred up such strong emotion in us.
as ski equipment are all too expensive and time is limited, we managed to find our own entertainment, which is to slide down a gentle slope free of charge! haha. its real cool to slide down on snow, and definitely safe coz we chose the path that has been slided before. then we wandered around taking photos and sitting on a ride to tour round the area. My fingers are freezing cold despite wearing gloves but still, managed to give some help to yuan feng in completing the snowman! thought can make a huge snowman and put my hat on it but the quality of the snow doesnt permit us to do that. in fact doing that small snowman its kind of tough already. somebody please give me snowman module!
we had our fair share of snowball fight as well, and i tasted snow accidentally. it tasted salty, probably coz yuan feng took the snow on the ground and throw it at me. i will take revenge back if i do have the chance again haha.
i would say its a great experience for all of us. in fact we felt that holiday has just bejun on Grouse Mountain and ended while we descend from it. am already missing the place! oh yes i really want to keep the snow in a bottle although i know that it would have melted... but its a pity i dont have a bottle with me. all the photos that we have taken really cant represent our feelings at the point of time. you really got to experience it for yourself and you'll find it a beauty =) oh ya as for the snowman, we leave it under a tree. think by this time it should have been under massive snow. i'll miss you too mr snowman.
