I was stuck at the intro. 

I’m in a fantasy SNOW TOYLAND 

Not sure about others snow places,

but Niseko sure looks like a Snow Toyland to me

And, of coz, it has always looks like a top decoration of a Christmas cake.

It’s amazing lovely here with a fantastic view like you’re in a Fantasy Land~

I love this It’s just too dreamy lovely piece of land 　

Snow-plow truck 

 LAWSON Convenient Store~

 in the snow should have bright bright colors 

It’s gonna be dull and boring if colors are not going to stand out from the white SNOW　

Snow-plow truck again 

Snow-Bush 

Snow-plow trucks everywhere

Without them, we are going to be swollen by whitey marshmallow.. 

Snow trees growing snowy-fruits~

Houses of the Snow Toy-land

Icicle

I think this is called the Garbage Station, where garbage are kept.

Snowy pedestrian

Like you’re walking on top of some fluffy white powder or some white soft marshmallow Feeling nice~

Today’s Daily Snow Report

We’ve been saying magic carpet nowadays in our report and I’m just wondering, do you all know what’s the Magic Carpet all about 

Just in case, I think I shall explain abit about the Magic Carpet..

So, THIS is the MAGIC CARPET

Magic Carpet is a moving floor set up in Hanazono Ski Resort for beginners to get up the slope easily~~

With the Magic Carpet, skiers and snowboarders can just go up up up, and slide slide slide

Eaaaasyyyy~

Daily’s Snow Report

First time holding ski gear on a report 

After the report, I had my 4th ski lesson 

I know how to slide, I know how to stop, I know how to turn now! 

But still in Level 1.. haha

I had my lunch at around 3pm today.. I went sooo hungry and I hate to be in hunger 

Sweet sauce pork rice. Yummy~yummy~

The bell is the LUCKY BELL here 

Ring it once and bring back some LUCK~

I like the sound of the bell..

Today was not windy and snow falls just calmly and beautiful

Like the weather today~

Oooooo~

I’ve got a new made friend yesterday

Meet Lindsay 

She’s my Twitter friend and she just happened to come from Morioka (Yasu’s hometown ) to Niseko for powder SNOW~!

Daily Snow Report

Looks not fun today..

After the filming,

I had morning SOYJOY~ 

I wanna eat proper breakfast but I just can’t wake up any earlier that 5.30am.. 

No time to have breakfast always before the Daily Snow Report..

And, I love taking pictures here.

Everywhere snow, and snow makes good reflection and no shadow to make you ugly.

I always have a lil’ black panda eyes, but none of my pictures taken here have it!

So happy.

The above picture was taken in the office by a big big window with snow everywhere outside~

Daily’s Snow Report

  
I’ve improved I think 

More natural and fluent and not so nervous.. haha

Today, there was abit sun, but quite windy, blowing up snow from down resulting a totally WHITE-OUT this morning

Can’t see a thing..should go slow especially when driving

I think I’ve mentioned this before that I am sponsored with winter gears to prepare myself heading off to Niseko.

 I’m sponsored with ski boots and ski gear by K2 Japan. 

So here’s my boots and gear looks like. I din’t get to choose the design but kinda satisfied to what they have sent me.

Fulltilt ski boots
Cute colors~ 
2009~2010 new model!  Love it 

Actually I was given to try Sally at K2 office in Tokyo but the size was too small for my big foot. And they told me that they’ll send a bigger size boots to Niseko and asked me to retry it.

When I collect the boots, I was surprised to see Booter instead..

I thought I like Sally but kinda love Booter more now..

Booter matching my Sweet Luv

And, Sweet Luv matching with 3 Karat pole 

 I’m sponsored with Snow-Wear by Burton If not, I don’t think I’ll be here…

I’m offered 3 pairs of outwear and etc. Here, I chose everything myself in their Harajuku branch. 

 The White Collection – Women’s Riding Jacket (Sea Green) & B by Burton Novak Pant (Canteen) & Burton Leather Pipe Glove

Burton Elevation Jacket (Hibiscus) & The White Collection Women’s Skinny Pant (Bright White Siouxies Plaid)

 with Solace Goggle (White Pink)

Burton Lush Jacket (White) & B by Burton Novak Pant (Pink)

I was actually posing for my brand new shoes I bought after having a whole week of cold freezing feet with my Tokyo boots walking on SNOW!  

All white Sorel water-proof, cold-proof boots I put it on straight away in the shop and feeling heavenly comfortable, fit and WARM 

I love this coordination  White Pink White  

 Here comes SOYJOY

I was given 14 boxes with 11 bars in one box of SOYJOY 

SOYJOY is my favourite diet bar~
They have increased to 11 flavors now~

Love most them  Can’t tell which I love the most~

A SOYJOY a day, keeps HUNGER away

You know what, it does really keeps me away from hunger nowadays especially when I’m still not too used to the environment and work-style over here in Niseko.

It still seems to have kept me going on to work without breakfast most of the time and all I have is a SOYJOY every morning~

Love SOYJOY  since I had it the first time years back and can’t imagine now I’m having the whole loads of them for the winter! for FREE~haha

I’ve got Lavazza coffee beans, pen and mug too as part of my prizes.
I thought I’m gonna have free nice coffee every morning… 

not souvenir kinda.. 

Anyway, I’m still having the beans to make coffee by my own self 

I’ve got 2 nights stay as prize in Four Season hotel in Tokyo also. 

I live in Tokyo though..

But 5 stars hotel should worth a try 

Besides, having all the sponsorships, I’m having free SKI lessons  for the whole season as well

I’m lucky   It’s not easy to get ski lesson and I’m experiencing it now~

Ski has not been quite attractive to me and I’ve ever thought of learning ski in my life..

…and ski or snowboarding looks hard and dangerous..

But YOU’D LOVE SKI OR SNOWBOARD when you’re here in NISEKO  

It’s influencing 

They are absolutely the cool sports to try on!

You’d fall in love watching experts ski-er or expert snowboarder rocks on the mountain even though most of the time you’d never know…are they a Prince Charming or a Shrek coz they’d be covered up so much with goggle and wear.

See this to get the feel that I’m trying to tell 

Cool eh

Tell you what, some of these cool guys are in the same house as I am in now. teehee

They are all ski and snowboard instructors from NISS, Niseko International Snowsports School! 

And, I’m on my way to be one of them. 

 I guess I will always start with my Daily Snow Report since it’s in my daily basis now.
