First Snow

This morning when i woke up, i rmb the room was dark as the curtains were still drawn and the first thing i did was to rush straight to the washroom cos the only reason i'm up so early was to pee. lol. After relieving myself, i wanted to crawl back into bed, back under the comfort of my warm blanket, but something told me to check my comp for any msn messages. True enough there were 3 tabs - one guy asking when i'm coming back, vincent replying my offline msgs, and then.. there was Mary (who brought me to the Aquarium) who left me a msg saying

IT'S SNOWING!!!!!

Joe and I were planning our remaining 13 days in Canada last night, and today, we were supposedly going to Gastown for souvenir shopping. Being in Vancouver, we can't go out without checking the weather forecast before hand. So, last night when we checked, the weather forecast said it was going to rain and snow today. Everyone who are in Europe have been telling me it's snowing wherever they are. And just the other day, Norven was complaining, why it isn't snowing yet in Vancouver. hahaha.. But rain and snow?? We totally couldn't imagine what it would be like. But the thought of snow was enough to make us excited yet worried. haha... Little did i know, when i threw open the curtains right after seeing Mary's msg, watching snow fall is the most breathtaking experience ever!!!

You know how you've seen real snow and fake snow on TV all your life.. You more or less know how it is - white small puffy drops falling softly on to the colourful world. But this morning, what i saw wasn't exactly how it is on TV. On tv, u see the first snow is usually dropping or floating gently down... The ones here... they were FLYING!!! The winds were so strong, the white snow drops were flying right across my window! lol.. I was totally speechless as i watched the scenes outside my window. I could only stare at the snow for like minutes and thinking to myself.. "Wah..It's finally snowing!! My very first snow!!! I can finally take a pic of me wearing Mel's baju kurung present in the snow!!" hahaha!!! Well, that's what Mel promised me to do: "Pakai baju kurung saya dan tangkap gambar dalam salji ye!" I have no idea wat made me promise her i would do that, as crazy as it sounds. Even though i know it was a joke (altho when it comes to Mel, it may be for real), but I was thinking, how many times in your life can u see snow and wear a baju kurung out in the snow?... And so, hanya untukmu Mel, saya akan memakai baju kurung dalam salji! hahaha..

After the random crazy thoughts, the first thing i did was to take out my camera and snap like crazy - as though the snow's gonna melt anytime soon. haha.. Then i opened my door wondering if the rest of the house knows about the first snow! Joe's room was dark, so i ran over and knock on her door shouting IT'S SNOWING!!!! She opened the door with her sleepy face not really registering wat i just said, so i had to tell her again to her face - IT'S SNOWING outside!! Immediately, we both went to her window, where i continued to amaze myself with the snow. haha..

Wanna know how it looked like? Here are the pictures!!

My very first snow picture!
This is the view when i opened my curtains. ^^

If you didn't see the ground, you'd think it's just heavy rain.

One thing about Vancouverites, come rain or snow.. they just walk without any umbrellas.

View of our block's common area from Christina's room.

Isn't it pretty?? hehe..

I really love this white house opposite my room.
Even more so when it's covered in snow!

Erm.. if u were waiting to see the baju kurung in snow pic, sorry guys, i haven't done that! Because the snow wasn't really frozen.. it melts the moment it touches anything!!! It's like rain actually.. So sad... =( Hence, i banished all thoughts of stepping out in the pretty kurung under rain/snow so early in the morning. hehe.. But fret not! The forecast said there'll be more snow next week! By then, i'll definitely go out and take that pic!! Just wait and see. hee..

And because of the weird weather, Joe n I also decided not to go out at all.. Thus, we continued to watch movies and dramas in our rooms the entire day. I'm currently watching Bad Love starring Kwon Sang Woo. lol! Oh, i found this perfect website to watch subbed korean, japanese, taiwan, hk, china dramas! And that's why i'm hooked onto dramas these days. So far i've watch It Started With A Kiss 2 (i know it's lame.. but once u've watched the 1st one, u wanna watch the 2nd just so u know the ending) and Last Friends (a very interesting and meaningful Jap drama). hehe...

Alas, my winter wonderland didn't last long. Just a few hours later, the snow became heavy rain! And it rained till the evening. What a lousy weather. And the sky turning dark at 3pm ain't helping. It just makes ppl wanna hibernate and not step out of the house at all!! Sheesh..

The rain after the snow...
Snow on the ground begins to melt.. and soon it'll turn into slush. =(

I want it to snow MORE!!!
I want to make snowman and snow angels!!!
I want to make snowballs and throw at Joe!
I want to take lots of pretty pics in the snow!!
So please let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!!!

The speechless reaction when i see snow video. haha...
