Skiing - WHAT an experience

For all the rollercoaster rides I can take, I can't seem to handle skiing...

My first skiing experience today left me craving for more, cos the last 2 times I went down the slope, I succeeded. It was the feeling of sweetness of success.

But when I come back and sit here thinking, my legs turn soft at the thought of the experience and the lousy feeling of not being able to stand up after I fall. Haha... And you should compare the slope I spent my entire day on, with the one my friends went down. It was very mild.

Seems like I have a big problem mastering sports requiring balance, and skiing adds extra speed with the slope. Not my forte at all. Andeline seems really good at this though. She coached my ice-skating and she only fell 4 times today (I can't even count the number of times I fell), of which 2 were my fault. I couldn't control, she had no time to avoid me, and we just watched helplessly as I crashed into her... Sorry :P

Thankful that we are all safe, sound and happy though. Besides a few bruises, aches, and as I am sleepily typing this now, I seem to feel that things are whizzing past me and I'm gonna fall flat on my face...

I will try it again though, after my courage for skiing is restored.
