Winter 2007

This year winter came earlier than last year...I remembered last year, it didnt snow till late Jan and we had a Green Xmas. This year, it started to snow on the 22nd Nov and few days later, there was a winter storm alert..Gee, how different one year can be!

I remembered the nite when we were alerted of the winter storm, it started to snow heavily as well as freezing rain!

Snow plougers hard at work and look at the amount of snow accumulated on our balcony

Next morning, those freezing rain that landed on the pavement with the freezing wind had turn into ice (thats what I think people has been telling me, Beware of those '"Black ice")

Those red arrowed areas are the "Black Ice"

Have to be REALLY CAREFUL as if u step on those "Black ice", u can be doing some pretty 'ice skating' moves @~@!! I wonder how the old folks cope with this kind of winter, if i fall, ok, at least i can still get up with sore bums might be, if they fall..gee. they might not be able to get up and might get bone fracture or whatever! *shaking head at that tot*

That morning, I had to go to work myself..from my place to the bus stop, I had to walk along a pavement which usually took me like 3 mins, that day it took me more than TEN minutes! yupp, TEN minutes to walk that same pavement and almost a few time I nearly slipped and did some ice skating move! All those who knew me, will know i'm one with the WORST BALANCING ability! almost feel like crying and kept praying, assuring myself , "winnie, u will be ok, walk slowly, see carefully, ure getting there to the bus stop, just dont fall!!" That was an agonizing 10 mins and not forgetting when I reached the workplace, I had to walk another 3 mins from the bus stop and yup, u can imagine that will be another agonizing TEN minutes!

I feel totally like a turtle walking on ice

People always tell me, "ah, ure so good, can enjoy 4 seasons"..I admit, i do miss the 4 seasons when I'm in Sg. HOWEVER, that is if i'm in Australia! I did my studies in Melbourne, Australia, I DO LOVE the 4 seasons coz it doesnt snow in the city during winter (only up on the moutain tops)..Now, that is what i love! 4 seasons without the hazard hahaha

Now that I'm in the northern hemisphere (where its not too far from where Santa is), i hd to struggle with the FREEZING winter and the TERROR of wondering when I'll ever need to do figure skating on those "Black Ice"...

I still love being in Sg coz its always summer all year round, whenever I feel like hving a 'taste' of winter, just jet off to a country thats cold during the chinese new year break..enjoy that 2 weeks of snow and then i'm back to my tropical short sleeve, shorts attire..now that is one of the many reasons I LOVE Sg :)
