I want to make snowballs and throw at Joe!
I want to take lots of pretty pics in the snow!!
It snowed for the 2nd time!!
Joe and I were watching an old black/white Christmas Carol movie in the common block when it happened. It was so pretty, it felt surreal! The sky was dark, snow was falling gently (like in the movies!), and street lights were shining on the lovely snow... And with the Christmas Carol movie playing, it felt so Christmasy!!! ^.^ The instant the movie was over, we rushed outdoors. It felt nice, albeit a little chilly without a jacket. haha.. And on the way back, we had a super-mini snowball fight. We were rolling snowballs with our bare hands (cos we had no gloves with us) and throwing snowballs like kids! lol.. We played and took pictures till we couldn't feel our hands! And that was just 30 minutes and 3 snowballs. haha..

Snow reflected off the ground!
The cold numbness was so terrible, i couldn't feel my hands even when under running hot water, and over hot burning stove! Nevertheless, barely a few seconds of slightly warmed hands, Joe said we should grab this opportunity to go out in the snow in our baju kurung! Since i made a pact with Mel, and Joe made one with me, we both braved the cold and did it! haha.. And so here it is, the long awaited picture.
This is for you Mel.
I think seeing snow for the first time in our lives, sort of made us very hyper. After taking a hot bath, we're out again at 1am making a SNOWMAN!!! Crazy but fun!! Because Christina was out studying, so it was just Joe and I making the snowman..Well, it was more like me squatting down making the snowman, while Joe just run around ordering me to get snow from here, snow from there, and squirting water on the snowball. sheesh! hahaha.. And after 1 hour and 1 failed attempt, Mr. Snowman was born! Christina came back just in time to accessorize and take pics with him. haha..
Me making snowman!
My 1st snowman!
Mr. Snowman 1.
He's made with choc M&M eyes, and leans dangerously to the left.
It's no wonder he crashed a few minutes later... =(
Mr. Snowman 2!
Made this time with almond eyes and bottle caps buttons. =D
Our snowman made a fashion crime wearing a cap - looks like a China snowman. lol..
Joe and snowman with a better snowcap!
Me and my snowman!
Roomies of 2101 with their snowman! hehe.
Our snowman guarding our entrance. He's really small.. hehe.
The entire night was a truly remarkable experience and I'm glad Joe was there to make it more memorable. Only she could make me go out in the snow at an ungodly hour just to build a snowman!! lol..
However, this wasn't the end. My worst experience was about to happen. I woke up the next morning to a sharp and burning pain in my left hand. To my horror, my 3 last left fingers were sore and swollen. It was just a little prickly feeling the night before.. but it worsen in the morning. It might have been a very mild superficial frost bite!!! Gosh.. Thank god it was nothing too serious. It was so weird though, cos only 3 of my left fingers had it. Anyways, after 2 days of wrapping it up in icy cold towel, the swell subsided and my fingers felt alive again. =)
I wasn't the only one with a terrible experience. Joe had a worse one.. Her laptop crashed the same morning!!! It was working fine that night and suddenly it wouldn't start up properly in the morning. And it became worse by the hour... In the end, it wouldn't even start up. Poor thing. Both of us tried to repair it ourselves, but to no avail. We followed precisely as the online help said, but they didn't tell us wat to do if we faced some differences. We were that close, yet so far! So, in the end, instead of making it right, it became worse. haha!! Guess we're not meant to be IT technicians. hehe. Then Joe decided to buy a new Dell laptop here cos it was so much cheaper. But sadly, it would take them 2 weeks to deliver it, and we didn't have that amount of time! So, all her hopes of buying a new one were totally dashed. We worried and cracked our brains for nothing at all! lol.. Just hope her hard disk is recoverable.. all her 4 months and more worth of pictures are all in there!!! Poor Joe..
Anyhow, both of us have experienced everything "wintry" we could in just 2 days. hahaha.. To end my post today, here's a picture of snowflakes! I saw snowflakes for the first time ever in the middle of the night, outside my window pane. Enjoy!! hehehe..
You can't see the snowflake pattern here. But in person, u can really see the pattern clearly - like those on X'mas cards. Very lovely they are!
