Everything feels a little bit more Christmasy with some snow. Snow on the rooftops, snow near the chimney, snow on your yard (though, some people find it really annoying) and snow on the 'bald' trees. It makes everything look jolly and festive.
I live in Singapore, which means: SUN. RAIN. DRAUGHTS. NO SNOW :(
I used to live in Belgium, Europe, 5 years ago. And I remember how light and fluffy the snow looks. And the snowball fights, the snowmen we made, the snowflakes tumbling down like feathers. IT'S SO PRETTY!
I remember one time I was playing around with snow, but because I was this weird kid (still am, BTW) I had NO idea snow could be REALLY cold. So I was playing around with my siblings, and it got so cold, I couldn't move my fingers anymore. And I had quite crappy gloves, which didn't really help the situation. So my mum and the rest of my family went home, me crying, which ended in a face covered in watery ice (if that makes sense). My mum turned on the hot water and I dipped my hands in them. Which resulted in me wanting to stay there forever. Then, we went to drink hot chocolate and eat waffles :3
If you don't live here in Singapore, I'm gonna tell ya somethin'. The weather here is VERY unpredictable. One day I go home scorched. And the next day I come home dripping wet. Once it was really hot outside. And I was waiting for a taxi underneath this shelter thingy, when it SUDDENLY (now, remember I said it was hot, the sun is shining, no wind was blowing), SUDDENLY, SUDDENLY started raining. But, this is the weird part. Where I was standing was like the line. When I looked to the right, it was sunny. When I looked to the left it was raining... Yep.
Also in Singapore, there is this building with a 'fake snow-maker'. And we decided to go there. I imagined it would be like: snow on the floor, snowball fights and snowmen making. But instead the place was just a big snow slide. Where you basically have to go up and slide down with this tyre-shaped thingy, and you had to slide down. I guess it was pretty fun...?
And this is what the 'rulebook' stated. DO NOT PICK UP ICE/SNOW. DO NOT THROW ICE/SNOW. That is NOT how snow works. So much for the name 'Snow City' where everything is fun. That was not what I expected. Not.
I miss the snow.
Bye,
Nin
This is what it looked like. I MISS THE SNOWWW! :((((((
