Winter Solstice?

I just learnt something new from "The One", he was telling me that today is the shortest day of the year. I was like huh?? Never heard of that..since I'm curious to learn more, I did a little research. From the site of NOAA (National Weather Service) this is what I found..

"In the northern hemisphere, the Winter solstice is the shortest day of the year (near December 22) when the Sun is farthest south. The winter solstice marks the first day of the season of winter. The winter solstice is the shortest day of the year, respectively, in the sense that the length of time elapsed between sunrise and sunset on this day is a minimum for the year. "

Just on the CBC News this morning, it was mentioned that at 7.22pm tonight, it will be the official first day of winter (21st Dec 06). Yup, "The One", you're right :) Today IS the official shortest day of the year of 2006 aka "Winter Solstice" hmm..must enjoy every single daylight hours I'm getting today!

Something new for me today..learning from "The One" :)

Tips on how to keep a relationship/marriage growing and glowing:
Always share informations (anything from As-Zs), there's nothing such as a 'stupid' question. Sometimes, I drive "The One" nuts with all my 'why? why? why?' hehehe... It is never about one being smarter or more knowledgable than the other. We learn something new each day from and about each other everytime we share..so keep the heart and mind "open" to learn and share:)

It is confirmed..

Yes, many will be disappointed but seems like Toronto is going to have a 'GREEN Xmas' instead of a "White Xmas". Am I disappointed? In a way, Yes..in a way, No. Yes because I thought this will finally be a 'White Xmas' for me since Xmas has never been "White" back home in Sg..No, because after hearing so much news on the damages that these snowfalls have done to states such as Vancouver, BC and in USA (ruins of parks, power down, no heater, no water...etc) that can be a terrible feeling during this time of the year.

The other day "The One" was saying, perhaps one morning when I wake up, I'll see the earth covered with white snow..."The One" is still hopefully and I think if that happens on Xmas morning, it will be a miracle :)

Well, I'll leave Mother Nature to the Hands of God, who am I to meddle with what God has in plan, isnt it? (Perhaps having some bubble Xmas to 'replace' the snow?) hehe

No White Xmas this year??!!

The other day, on the news weather report, it might be a 'nightmare' that this year we might not see a 'WHITE XMAS'!! geeee...till now, the temp and weather has been pretty weird. "Higher than norm temp at this time of the year", that was what was reported and till today, I havent really seen real snow except for the occassional flurries. "The One" joked that maybe I brought all the HEAT over from Singapore, thats why there's no snow till now hahaha. Will the snow make it in time for this year xmas?! 9 more days to xmas,I'll keep you folks updated if this will be my first ever "WHITE XMAS" or Canada's first "NO WHITE XMAS"...

Sign out for now!

Little Revamp to my blog

Decided to do a little revamp to my blog..change the template and did some updating of posts. Do let me know if you like this little revamp or you dislike and any other "constructive" comments will be appreciated :)

oh and by the way, just to let you guys know, sometimes when I have something to write I might not finished writing in one day (so I save them as drafts) so if you might be surprised to see 'new posts' in months when its supposed to be 'archived'...well, you know, writers block sometimes ;P hehehe
