MORE SKI EQUIPMENT!
And I don't even think I'm going to snowboard that much this year, but I've already gotten a new helmet, new goggles and now... I have a new ski jacket. WOOOOOOO! And then I'm probably gonna find out that my board is rusted or something and won't be able to go... ha ha..

Anyway, it's been a little crazy ever since September started. Tomorrow is Thursday (my day off) and I'm really thankful for it. I'm also thankful for this coming Thanksgiving weekend just b/c I don't have painting, tai chi and indoor soccer. ha ha.. I mean, I love doing everything but it's kinda nice not having to worry about getting things done beforehand, making sure I have everything packed in my backpack if I'm not going home or making sure I get home on time to make it to wherever I'm going. Plus packing lunch. Having groceries to make lunch. .... yeah. It's just been a lot.

Watercolour painting is actually going slowly but nicely. No longer the EPIC FAIL that I mentioned in my last journal entry. I still feel like a bit of a dunce.. just b/c I didn't even know how to add water to the paint. But at least I feel like I'm progressing. The last couple of things I've painted out weren't too bad. Hated it (sorta) while painting, but liking it after walking away from it and letting the darn thing dry. ha ha...

The rest of the stuff I'm getting used to and I can almost do all of the 24 forms of tai chi! Weeee! Soccer skills are crap and hip hop is progressing slow enough that I'm actually follow along. I also think I've just gotten used to adding moves to the end of a routine that we would be working on... or at least no losing my composure when I screw up and everyone around me is doing the dancing perfectly. lol.



In other news, my cousin has made me one of her bridesmaid. 0_o I just found out this week and though, my mom vaguely mentioned it a year ago... I didn't hear anything of it ... until well, this week. ha ha... We're gonna see if they can make a dress and I guess alter it in the two weeks I'm there before the wedding. I'm already dying b/c basically I'll be the blimp in the same dress as a whole bunch of stick thin (HK average size, dammit!) bridesmaids. I'm pretty sure my bridesmaid dress will have enough material to clothe all of them combined but I'll just have to bear with it. My cousin is actually a really nice person so I'm pretty excited for her. I hope she doesn't mind there's a bridesmaid hiding in the corner b/c she has absolutely no idea what she's supposed to do or say. I'm so uncultured. ha ha... I'll have to go bug the others to find out what happens at a traditional Chinese wedding.
