the first snow

helen was right, it can snow when the sun is shining! anyhoo we are celebrating the first snow with hot pizza :)
when i was walking to class this morning i saw some specks of what i presumed was snow but it could easily have been my imagination. though when i looked around, there was a fine dusting of snow on the bench, a coating on the car, and a lot of snow on the hills!!! :D whee.

the world in shades of grey

HOW did wikipedia-ing for a quick answer about anything, really, turn into 1.5 hours of facebooking back and forth and photos looking and uploading pictures and reading random articles and watching gilmore girls and god my eyes hurt. i am not impressed by myself.
every morning i wake up and look out of the window and my heart clenches in excitement because the roofs of the neighbouring houses are white and i think it has snowed in the night while i was asleep but then i remember that the houses simply HAVE white roofs and it in fact did NOT snow in the middle of the night. :/ the cold is SO not worth it! the 43 days to sunny singapore just seems so far away, looking at my classes schedule makes me rather depressed. though never been quite as excited for christmas before, have started playing carols on laptop plus drawing up xmas present shopping list. heehee.
