Oslo, here we come...
OsLo osO oSlo fun!
A view from our hostel room...
Weary smiles even before the most exciting part of the day began...haiz...tired and hardworking international students...we so deserve our ski trip...haha
A typical train serving Oslo residents & of course tourists...
We had to trek for a mile or two to reach the minibus pickup point...NOT...it was more like 20-30metres from the train station...
Slope leading to Tryvann Vinterpark...
On the minibus up Tryvann Vinterpark...
The shades served no purpose in skiing except that I had to wear them so as to justify my bringing it all the way here...yup and to hide my eyes...
Hmm...he looks familiar...
Samuel from Australia! He's quite a pro at skiing...
What sexy lips!!! haha...opps...
Postcard worthy...
A group shot with our ski equipment...
I was so good @ skiing that my fwen insisted I had to fall at least once...just for the camera...so i gladly obliged...haha...as if...that was my 3968th fall...
A quick pose in front of some structure @ Vinterpark which i found interesting to be captured in a cam with...
A quick pose in front of the signboard...
We dropped a camera and everyone happened to find it simultaneously! It so happened that it was also set on timer mode...so taa daa...we might as well smile for the camera!
A peeping tom outside our hostel room...she's quite a pretty one though...
Parliament House...
Royal Palace...
University of Oslo...
Beacon of Light...

Semi-Oslo City Skyline...
Oslo Opera House was still under construction...
We tried to rehearse for a modeling job for Lacoste but it turned out to be quite...can find a vocab...so let's just say 'duhz'...It was my first ski experience. Tryvann Vinterpark was the choice! Skiing to me was like driving without brakes and steering wheel! After a few tips from Yan Li, I fixed the steering wheel (a little bit) but the brakes weren't functioning still. I managed to find a few creative ways to stop. Some were okie but most qualify for world's stupidest acts caught on videos.
The local kids were super good! Some as young as 5 made me looked like I was some kinda fruit cake on skis! Well, I wasn't alone! They were a few other fruit cakes around too (no offense), so it was not so bad...haha...
After trying the practice slope, I got comfortable and went to the real slopes. The slopes were really steep and I was going straight! I reckoned I was skiing down at 70-80kph. OMG, that was so exhilarating! As the saying goes, all good things must end. End it did, in heaps of snow! A slight twist of the left foot at 70kph sent me flying! After tumbling this way and that for 3968 times, my body became numb to it and I quite enjoy falling. Right.....
The 2nd day was spent walking around Oslo City. Being a Sunday, there was nothing to do. We decided to walk abit and visited the Parliament House, Royal Palace, University of Oslo and some military museum. The company @ Oslo, besides the usual included Samuel (Aussie),Dan (Aussie), Adam(American) and Jiwon(Korean). There are pros @ skiing, and Adam was a natural on snowboard!
Norway got to be the most expensive city that I have ever visited so far. 59NOK ($16) for a simple Kebab meal. Fortunately, we planned for a 3day trip, so it wasn't too expensive. Next up, its Italy. But before, it is school as usual.
