Writing this from our JB apartment because 3 pigs are knocked out until further notice and i have nothing else to do. I did order Grabfood for breakfast though. Delivery fee is RM 2 lol joke. Day 3 leggo.
Our apartment was temporarily converted into Hell’s Kitchen where the sandwich assembly line was in full force. Supervisor Reagan’s eagle eyes ensuring that Jh does not burn the bread today.
So called sibei 好吃 sandwich by Ivy. Actually can be found in almost every bread shop in SG but hey who are we to reject compliments? Extra credit to Jl and Reagan for helping to prepare the egg mayo with their filthy fingernails the day before.
My snowman with botched breast enhancement surgery greeting our fellow neighbours in the morning.
Another day, another gondola ride. This time to First, aptly named after Th because she always want to be first.
Nice views all around you you you.
Except this view behind us.
Playing it off cool but deep down i was worried that Ivy would drop my brand new iphone 13 pro max. 请不要这样玩我的电话,我的心很弱我的钱很少.
Obligatory photo with the Swiss flag when we arrived at the summit.
一片白. Mostly skiers up here but we scaredy cats are just here for the views.
Cliff go brrrrrr.
After the cliff walk and tightrope yesterday, my balls were immune for this one.
Chio but no idea where the rest of my friends went. I think they fell down already.
At the end of First cliff walk, you can get rewarded with a photo op with the gorgeous mountain range.
But nothing is as gorgeous as you, my dearest baobei sayang.
Took a pic with the boys after the search and recovery team found the rest of their bodies.
Best purchase for the trip, an insulated Zojirushi bottle endorsed by Jl so i can enjoy hot tea on the go. Sadly ruined now because Mom put some 泡参 inside and i can never get rid of the smell.
No idea why i took a photo with this friendly Korean uncle but shibal please put on your mask, it's still covid season bro.
Lunch was settled at Bergrestoran First, the only restaurant atop the mountain so it's not like we had any other choice.
Trying out one of only two foods the Swiss are known for, the rösti. The sausage was nice, the potato is potato.
With our tummies all filled up, it was time for some extreme sports.
And by extreme, i mean so extreme that kids as young as five years old can do it.
Introducing sledding, the coward’s alternative to skiing because sitting down feels way more secure than standing up.
And here we go! Sledding is such an easy sport. You just lean back and let gravity do all the work.
No danger, no fear, just pure vibes. How useless would you have to be to crash in a contraption kids as young as five years old can operate? Hahaha-
-ha.
Disaster as all of us crashed almost immediately during the first slope. As it turns out, leaning backwards makes the sled really fucking fast. Jh and Th would have flown off the edge if there wasn’t a safety net to catch them like a couple of salmon fishes. An ominous sign of things to come.
The first 2 slopes were so steep that we took a break to re-assess the situation. Perhaps if we climbed back up to return our sleds can still get some of our rental fee back?
After a bit of recce-ing the course, it seemed that the route ahead was much gentler and friendlier for us novices. Cautiously, we proceeded with our sledding run.
There were tumbles here and there but the powder snow was on hand to reduce our fall damage.
Gradually, we grew more and more confident in our sledding abilities. Well, almost all of us..
The weather was delightful so we had to play in the luscious snow whenever we took a break from sledding to regroup.
我是金刚腿，他是铁头功~
Can you identify whose corpse outline this is?
Check out that fucking amazing view. And the background is not too bad either eh?
Had our homemade sandwiches and hot tea for snack time and it’s one of the best feelings in the world.
However, we weren’t out of the woods yet as the remaining descent was steeper and more perilous than before. Here are a couple of proud cowards preferring to continue on foot.
Alas all men aren't built the same, as Reagan and his adrenaline filled balls flew down at full speed and lost control at a sharp turn. He ended up eating snow on the ski slopes below us as the rest watched in horror.
Thankfully Reagan only sustained minor scratches as the slope steward came over to lead him to safety. He then calmed us down by doing his best impression of a penguin waddling down the slope.
As the slopes were closing for the day, we were ushered down by the other stewards since we were the last people remaining (*artist impression above). Sibei stress and xia suay because our sledding pace is slower than walking down and they were skiing behind us closely but we were too scared to go faster in case we ended up like Reagan. In the end, they got pek chek and called in a snowmobile to give us a lift to the destination. Additional lulz when we passed by Jl and her desperate cries for a lift was ignored. That day we took a hit to our dignity... but we got a free snowmobile ride bitches!!! Totally worth.
A huge relief that everyone made it back down in one piece, albeit barely, so we celebrated being alive with some beanie shopping!
We then visited our favourite Coop supermarket again for groceries to prepare our dinner.
Tonight’s menu is cai png, because Asian food is superior to sausages and potatoes. Sled whole day until shag like fuck still need to cook 3菜1汤.
Credit to everyone for contributing to the meal, especially Prima Taste for the convenient af sauce packs. Quite sure can sell our cai fan to other chinese tourists for $30 a plate in Grindelwald.
Dinner was followed by the best part of every day, chilling and drinking with the fam during our final night in this wonderful airbnb home.
Which comes with a really handy freezer that chills beer more environmentally friendly than any 5 ticks fridge aka the -10 degree weather outside. Thus, we survived Day 3 with minor injuries and a bruised ego. But can we survive Day 4? Read on to find out, you sexy beast you.
- End of Day 3 -
