boy oh boy did it snow today!!!! i awoke @ 9.am and saw the snow was alreading 'pouring' down! cant tell you how exhilarated i was!!! i rushed though my shower and hurriedly dressed to get out. as i struggled slowly along the paths to prevent me from slipping on the snow, i was quietly savouring the moments. The feeling of the large flakes settling on me and the snow crunching below my feet everytime i stepped on a 'fresh' spot. And it was so much quieter, traffic wasn't as heavy and it all felt so soft and peaceful.

i was taking my own sweet time, strolling and stopping to try and take some photos. i figured this was a once in a lifetime event and my lessons can wait. hee.
with all that ice settling on my camera, i am thankful that it didnt malfunction!

got to class 20mins late and attendance was so poor that the lecturer decided to start class next week so it was free and easy till my 2pm cultural studies class.
kept on looking out of the windows, and commenting on how much i love snow, only to get grunts from my classmates who say they hate it! well...guess i am the 'mountain tortoise' for now but anyway i insist that i will always love it! how can anyone hate snow? ok..maybe when it starts melting on the dirty pavements and you get Slush. which is this muddy color slurpee melting kinda thing. that's the only thing i find erks.

left school at 5pm and headed home. the snow around the school was almost gone, due to the high human traffic i guess. got off the tube and hopped on the bus and realised that ard Greenwich area, there was still plenty of snow and most of them were untouched! as i walked up the slope to get home, i stopped and grabbed snow from bushes, from the pavement and made a little snowman! =)
its sitting on my window ledge and its been and hour and a half since i brought it back. its still holding its shape. melting really slowy...and shrinking a little by little.

ok lah..enough of the snow issue. but but..one last point to add> the snow on the ground was 5cm thick! that's how much snow fell....
and i hope and pray it will snow somemore!

peeps in singapore> enjoy the sun!
