Was playing Neopets on my laptop when suddenly at 11pm on 1st February 2008, the internal phone in my room rang. It was Rong. In an excited voice, she delivered some news that I have been craving for so long...
"下雪了!"
That was what she said. And this three simple words totally made my day! Grabbing just a jacket and a scarf (while I am still in my T-shirt, pyjamas trousers and slippers), I rushed down the block...
And there it was! What I had been waiting for ages...SNOW!!! At first, they were little round balls of ice cascading down from the sky, immediately dyeing the earth white. Slowly and gradually, they transformed into velvety pieces of snow that float ever so gracefully into the arms of Earth. My gaze was transfixed at the sky...the scene was just so pretty!
Then I rushed back into my room to grab my camera and met up with Kath and Rong outside Fiddes. We then walked to the outdoor tennis court to start our "rave". From an outsider point of view, there were three mad girls shouting in joy and jumping around. Well, as this is only my first time seeing a proper snowfall (those that can cover the whole ground white), I am more than eligible to be crazy just for this special night! The three of us wrote and drew on the snow-covered ground, leaving our prints everywhere we go. I must have been smiling when an idiot when I wrote 欣婷到此一游 on the snow. I even made a snow angel, though it was partially successful because the height of snow is not ideal...
1st of February 2008, I will always remember this special moment!
