Snowing!!! Whee!!

Dear all,

Once again, i apologise for having to tantalise you ppl with words that really cannot describe the bliss i am feeling right now..hah..cos my camera was thirsty for cola it went ahead without my permission and is now out of commission so there will be little or no photo updates on my blog..haha..

Anyway, just a quick update so you ppl know what i am up to nowadays since i hardly replied emails, or blogged, or went on MSN either..ha..like i disappeared from the internet..

Yepp..i HAVE been rather busied by the computing projects that came up..rather difficult projects that demanded several hours of my time for a few days..haiz..shan't talk bout that..but rest assured that i managed to complete them satisfactorily that i still can expect an A for my computing class..hah..hopefully..getting back a paper later and a project grading too..wish me luck!

AND midterms are coming again in 2 weeks..right now i start with an awareness of when it is, then hopefully procrastination dun sink in and i start to ignore that awareness..ha..pray that i will study for it..

AND dear jojomama had to blog about this fantastic korean drama, and i HAD to watch it on youtube cos Bleach 101 have not come out yet..and now i'm stuck on the korean drama..ha..'My Girl' is FANTASTIQUE! go watch on youtube! i wun spoil the joy of watching it by giving it a review..but it is great! hah..really feel like adopting a little sister and taking care of her lo..hah..hmmm..budden i already have a lil sis..haha..yepps..will take care of you when i get the chance to! ha..

Yes yes..that's like my passion nowadays..to rush back from a crazy class, then chill in my room watching the drama..ha..and the main character happen to have her birthday on snowy days..which leads me to the topic of this entry..

It SNOWED! IS SNOWING! haha..been looking forward to it for very long le..since 2 weeks ago it snowed, it hadn't snowed at all..then last 2 days was warm [like 20 degrees i say it's warm le..my body thermometer is spoiled le..] and then was totally caught unaware yesterday as temperature plunged, and today it's (-3) to (5) degrees celsius..ha..and precipitation!

It's still totally cool..like i was telling Jinfa, i could just stand in the cold and stare at the snow coming down..this time it was floating down to the surface..and i was seriously trying to catch a snowflake now and then with my hands, then marvel at it melting in my hands..or just looking at the shape of the snowflake..always tot they were lying when they said that snowflakes had a very unique crystalline structure..IT"S TRUEE! haha..

Yepp..and even now when i was waiting for the bus in the cold with many people around, i was like facing the biting cold wind and staring at the snow..i actually wonder if people were staring at me watching the snow, cos i must've got my jaw dropped while watching or someth..hah..i am really THAT marvelled by snow..like a child seeing a miracle..

And Jinfa said someth that kinda made sense, when i mentioned that i could watch snow fall down forever.

'people here will see you watching snow like we see some dude in singapore watching rain and marveling at it'

which brings the question how much we actually take things for granted. Like how someth that can be so sacred, be sullied by the fact that it became routine and 'normal'..If you think about it, even rain is freakin difficult to simulate using human means, like some pilot had to fly up there, look for a rain cloud, and then seed it with chemicals..you get the idea..and God can just make it rain at His command. Or how it is impossible to survive on earth if there were no sun..how rain can mean life to people possibly living in the desert where it rains once a year during the 'rain season'[duh], and of course, how marvellous snow can mean to someone like me who never saw snow in his life before..

How easily we can take things around us for granted. How easily God's blessing can be ignored and treated as commonplace when it could be very coveted by another person. How about peace in politics, food on the table, warmth in your living place, internet connection, phone connection, clothing..etc..

And do you know how much it'll mean to me to actually feel really warm? like right now, when i drink a cup of warm tea or coffee it's like us drinking a cold milk shake in Singapore? and the fact that you never really feel warm in a place like this even with heating in your room [the temp is like forever 20+ max lo..like airconditioning back at home] ha..whining about stuff here abit..

But my point is not the whining..dear all, please, at least for today, make a mental note of what things are really commonplace to you, and think about how it could mean to someone else who isn't in your shoes..pray about it..give thanks and be thankful. For it will definitely mean someth to God to acknowledge the blessings that He is trying to bring into your life, except you don't recognise it..It will please His heart and give Him a warmy lovey dovey feeling to know that His efforts are appreciated..Wouldn't you want to make your Heavenly Father feel that? Take a moment now, just a second of the whole day that He has given you, reflect back, and give thanks for this day, that He has given to you.

-endz- Snow WHEE day! haha..thank God
