    Sydney, NSW - Mamak!!

    Have been in Sydney for the past few days *work trip naturally* and to satisfy the cravings of some local cravings at Mamak. Some of the items on our menu - Sambal kangkung, Mee goreng, satay ayam
    And for dessert - roti bom!


    We also ordered 2 X teh o'ais limau and ayam goreng.


    The things we do when we miss good local food....

    Whistler, BC

    To continue on from where I left off, Whistler was absolutely AMAZING! So amazing in fact that we've booked our flights for next yr! But I digress..... back to my original blog entry. The intention was to snowboard, and snowboard we did - all 6 days off it. To be honest though,even after 8 days, we really didn't want to leave. The snow was that good. Whistler ski resort itself is made up of 2 mountains - Whistler and Blackcomb. As such, one could spend exploring over 8000+ acres of terrain, parks etc and 200 marked trails from beginner to advanced. Facilities wise, it was good. Having boarded o/s before - it was impressive with amenities and entertainment close at hand.

    I met Mario! There is a run named after Nintendo and "Mario", while skiing down the run kept on going "Where is Luigi!" - so funny.

    It started snowing every night after day 2 - a little bit of snowball fight was definitely on the list.



    Vancouver hosted the 2010 Winter Olympics so there was still a lot of its memorabilia around the place.






    Taking a breather over food and drinks (and watching the English Premier League match at the same time)



    At the Peak 2 Peak gondola baby!

    Still getting a feel to boarding. Watching little rugrats just zooming past you on a blackrun makes you feel so small sometimes...


    More to come....

    Question....

    Is there such a thing as post-holiday depression?
