But we get to relax only for about a week in early February, after that things went uphill and finally reached the peak during Chinese New Year time. Best part was I was relaxing back at home in the sunny Malaysia during CNY.
And why do I miss home while I'm in Niseko but when I'm back to Malaysia, I missed Niseko so much? It's this love hate thing that I still can't get around with. Also the drastic difference in weather made me so grumpy when I was back home too.
Anyways, February was also the month we realized how time flies, most of the staff will leave by end of March including me, so we try to hang out as often as we can.

Baking session with colleagues in one of the empty guest room.
Feels so good using the kitchen as if it's ours!
Baked very very successful banana cake! Got compliments from other colleagues that tried :)
I'm totally bragging but I really was reluctant to share it and could finish all of it on my own!
Also had another baking session at friend's house. We baked peanut cookies!
Brought back peanuts all the way from Malaysia just to make peanut cookies with friend!
Before
After
Cookies were so so good though, brought some for colleagues and they loved it too!
Roommate cooked 2 types of korean toppokki! (Spicy and non-spicy)
Oden with roommates again. Easy to cook and yummy!
Unlimited lamb barbeque with colleagues! So delicious and I really missed it..
Will visit one last time again before I leave Niseko for sure!

After I came back to Niseko after CNY, one of the lovely Malaysian repeat guest knew that I missed Milo so they brought all that for me all the way from Malaysia ;)
We chatted during last summer when they were here and I mentioned to them that I really missed Malaysian food. They remembered and brought this for me when they came back again, I was speechless when they gave it to me! Such sweet people really made all the hard work worth it. This is also especially special to me because I didn't manage to bring Milo back from Malaysia as my luggage was already overweight, and to receive this I just felt soooooo blessed!! Milo is my absolute favourite drink since I was young, other country's Milo tastes different compared to Malaysia's! Sounds odd but it's really true!
Enjoying my Maggi for lunch break!
To balance out my unhealthy eating habits, oats every morning for breakfast plus any random fruit found in the staff refrigerator (Collected from guest's leftovers)
The same guest that left me the Milo and Magee also gave me pineapple tarts!
Oh, really reminds me of home...
Since I'm not a fan of drinking water, I try to drink more tea instead.
I have so many different kinds of teabags lying around and it's time for me to finish it all.
I've never seen such interesting teas before??
Best flavour would be the Green Tea with Orange flavour and lotus flower, second would be the Orange and Cinnamon flavoured.
Interesting design! Since Sakura is coming soon so most of the brand will spam Sakura designs or Sakura flavoured food / drinks.
Brought this all the way back from Malaysia for colleagues to try and I regretted sharing them cause it's so good! (Selfish much..)
Folded cranes to wish a colleague to get well soon!
End product! 1000 cranes folded by all colleagues.
Took almost 2 weeks to complete these though. Assembling the cranes took an incredibly long amount of time too.
Valentines day gift shared by female colleagues for the male colleagues.
I'm still not used to the idea of Valentines day in Japan where girls will be the one to give gifts / confess to guys. Then it's the guy's turn on White Day (14 March) Just still so strange for me.
Night skiing after work!
