Hello everyone! Ooh i'm a NEW blogger now..haha i know a bit the slow!Damn i've been wanting to post this for ages but just couldn't get round to doing it.. all the uploading photos n stuff.. blogging is hard work hehe. Wow everyone's jet-setting off to diff parts of the world.. spread the kecohness ppl! Kai kai jeb n bryan..u guys seem to be having a blast down under! Gday mate!! Say hey to the kangaroos! i wanna come visit.. stef! say hi to Koko for me!

So here's an update from cold wet n windy preston. We went skiing! well.. kind of..
During christmas hols a bunch of country bumpkins from preston n a couple of sophisticated london-ers decided to go on a ski trip. to FINLAND! how random.. i know. The sophisticated london-ers had a sophisticated cheap deal for a one week stay there so off we went.













Cross country skiing. That's what we were supposed to be doing. So we got there n looked around. Where's the snow? by some freak of nature there was none. NONE. Sabo-ed like hell. So nvm we decided to go north to santaland ( That's Lapland for all u ignorant ppl. HEhe i never knew.. i always thought Santa lived in North pole? ) Surely there'd be snow up north?
Here's wat happens when u have nothing to do and the train is nowhere in sight..

Practicing some skiing action while waiting for the train

Finally! SNOW! So before hitting the slopes we decided to pay santa a visit.. we were in santaland after all! Hmmph.. santa was disappointing! Not as fat or jolly as i expected him to be.. n he wouldn't even say HOHOHO. .apparently that's reserved for the reindeers.

Brr.. that's me n lina stepping over the artic circle line.. -10 degrees!!

After a good lunch of reindeer meat.. yes that's right! Reindeer! poor rudolph.. i think reindeer to the finnish is like chicken.. it's everywhere! so yeah we finally hit the slopes. We all decided to go snowboarding in the end..i think it's way more fun than skiing! Leaves u with very very sore butts though.. haha need more cushioning!


DOn't know whether u can see it but It's snowing! It finally snowed when we got back from lapland to the ski resort we were staying in..We all rushed out of the cabin like the jakun ppl that we are.. so excited!
Very happy snow angel!


Not so happy snow angel..


a very Pear-shaped snowman!
ok i'm too lazy to write any more.. the rest of the trip was basically loads of sightseeing.. Lots of weird n wonderful food, amazing scenery n SNOW! Visited lots of museums, and spent a lot of time holed up in the nice n toasty cabin marathon-ing our dvd collection! Ooh we travelled to helsinki too! FUN but didn't get enough of snowboarding tho.. well there's always next time! Alritey then.. that's all for now all u kecoh ppl! take care..
