in pain

suddenly i have gone silent in lj. the reason? im in pain and cant move about freely as i used to. i went skiing 2 days ago.. it was quite a fun experience until i went up the ski lift. it’s a huge place and there’s wasnt signs to which are the easier slope.

my uncle, seeing a whole bunch of kids age 5-6 going up this ski lift and asked me to tag along. turns out, on the ski lift, i found out from the couple seated with me that this is more for intermediate/advance skiers and up! definitely not a first timer like me.

*faints*

i got freaked out as we got higher and jumping off the ski lift was a scary experience, going down a mini ski slope. the lady from the couple was an extremely nice person, she helped me down the slope and taught me tactics to keep myself going. i was managing it fine halfway down the slope.

the problem is, i can SKI but not BRAKE!

so, as i keep going down the slope, the speed got faster and faster and the slope, steeper and steeper! to a point it really freaked me out cos i was going so fast, i cant bear the thoughts of raming into someone down the slope.

i tried to brake, didnt work, lost my balance and a twist in the air before falling into a bundle in the snow, star shaped. it was SO PAINFUL that i thought i broke my right leg. couldnt move, the pain was too much. i shouted to have my skis taken off, while i lay there, not moving an inch. someone has called the ski petrol.

the pain got lesser as time passed, i was abt to lift my legs and wiggle my toes. and lift my legs. the people there are so nice. each and everyone who went past me, asked if i needed the ski petrol, and if i was alright.

lie in the snow to enjoy the scenery. WOW. i wish i had my camera with me to take pictures to show u people. it’s ultimate breathtaking. the snow alps all over and not a single building in sight. the ski petrol came, checked my bones and said it’s fine. asked if i wanted to head for their medical center to have it checked, but i refused (cos i was BROKE), i could walk and they gave me a courtesy ride down the slope.

that pretty much ended my first skiing experience. i couldnt walk/climb/jump without feeling pain.

Hi there! Thanks for popping by. I'm Cherie, a ftwm (full-time working mum) to 3 lovely kids (2 boys & a princess) and my motto in life is to BE HAPPY. Sure, life isn't all that smooth but it's the mentality that counts, no? This blog documents my life. Or rather, snippets of my life that has passed me by. I love capturing life memories in the blog and being able to read back and laugh at myself (or anyone). I love to eat (A LOT), travel and paint my own nails so the blog is mostly about that. Is that considered lifestyle? Of cos, the family is also very much an integral part of me so there would be loads of memories about the husband and my kids - Jerry (9yo), Jerome (7yo) and Leia (2.5yo) and everyone else that's close to me. I like documenting the kids' milestones, their growing up years, their achievements (and sometimes, mine), and my struggles and battles with motherhood. It sure ain't easy. I love seeking out good food and travelling, is trigger-happy, love new gadgets, love exploring new places and strives to live life to the fullest. I aspire to travel the world as much as I can, to soak in the different sights across the various continents and visit all the Disneylands in the world (almost there!). Have fun reading and do drop me a comment to say hi! Love, Cherie Lim Find me on Instagram.
