Preparing for my 1st Ski Trip!

Its's been a rough week for me. Totally draining, both mentally and physically. I am so glad the weekend is here and I can now unwind and do some soul searching! heh!

Finished off work late today and by the time I sat down to recap the day, I realise I have not really thought about my upcoming Ski trip which is exactly a week from now!! Honestly? I am now a panicky duckling that appears calm on the outside but struggling real badly on the inside. What do I do? I have nothing but a Ski Pant! Although Jos had took an extra day off to take me shopping before the trip, I still feel somewhat insecure of being so unprepare of a trip I've been longing for since Sep last year. I do not want to screw my holiday! It has to be well prepared and loads of fun.

So here I googled and listed down the Top 14 Things I need to bring for my Ski Trip:

1. Hat - to keep my head and ears warm - Unchecked!

2. Goggles/Sunglass – Skiing without goggles is really painful, so don’t forget them! (Grandmaster J says I might get snow blindness if I don't have sunglass!) - Unchecked!

3. Gloves – Unchecked~!

4. Jacket – Checked

5. Ski Pants – Checked

6. Long underwear (non-cotton fabrics) – Long underwear rocks! Long underwear helps you to stay dry. (WTF is long underwear?)

7. Sweater/Fleece – Long underwear is not aleays enough so you also need a sweater or a fleece. (Freaking troublesome?)

8. Socks – Make sure you have good sport socks because wet socks can cause your feet damage. - Checked

9. Backpack – Every now and then there will be a situation in which you’ll need a backpack - OK Checked

10. Ski bag – Some day you might want to carry nice little stuff with you so remember to take your ski bag. - I don't need that?

11. Sunscreen – I have burned my face so many times that all I can do is recommend you to take sunscreen with you. - Noted!

12. Lip balm – The same with lips. They can get burned. - Checked

13. Beeper – A beeper is a tracking system in case you get buried in an avalanche. (What the???!?!?!)

15. You – Make sure you remember to take yourself with you (Sure!) =)

See the amount of unchecked and remarks? I am so not ready.... I am gonna print this list up and march into the shopping centre tomorrow. I've also googled the best place to shop for winter stuff in Singapore is in Plaza Singapura which is just next to where my dinner appointment will be tomorrow! Cool... this all now make more sense. I will be ready by next week I am sure! =)

Now I am happy again..... cant wait to see grandmaster J! heh!

P.S. Life would indeed be simpler without expectation... xoxo
