Life is beautiful

feel happy for me, because i'm home.
after 5 months of absence, i came home, many things different yet the same.
i forgot the touch and smell of dogs, i forgot how it felt like to see daylight in the evening, i forgot the feeling of walking around in shorts and slippers, i forgot how easy it is to get out of the house, i forgot how clean the water is, i forgot what its like to shop in english, i forgot how soft my bed is, i forgot how clean the air is.

but most importantly, it issn't difficult to adapt back to the home that i spent almost my entire life in. i'm absolutely loving the hot and humid weather. -18degC is way to harsh for my liking, and way too harsh to make me happy.

i'm really happy to be home.

and oh, i've just weighed myself, i'm 4kg away to blood donation =)) going to bj helps huh.

goodbye beijing for the moment.
here i come hong kong.
and then home.
:))

boohoo. my favourite star is right here in bj. so near yet so far.
for the next 12 hours i'll be stuck with my book.
cya all soon.

i can puke blood studying for the last paper.
less than 48hours away.

8 days to end of exams
11 days to hongkong
17 days to sg.

coming home!

oh dear. ok i regret. now i dont want anymore snowww.. i want to catch my train in 2 weeks time! the weekly weather forecast looks bad. it says snow showers again this coming friday and sunday. argh. i hope the rail issn't affected too much. but looks like 2 weeks later the temperature will start going up again :) finally i see a positive highest temp of 1degC.

its -18degC now, and windchill -26degC. its not as warm in my room tonight.

while it was snowing heavily on sunday i was hibernating at home, so it was an eye-opener seeing how much snow dropped from the skies the very next day...

however dirty, i think i still like snow. but i hate the coldddd...

4th snow this winter/1st snow of the year... early hours of 2nd Jan, snow fell.

5th snow this winter/2nd snow of the year. 2nd Jan night ~8pm to 3rd Jan ~8pm. it snowed for like 24hours w/o stopping. im sure some parts reached a good 30cm high..
this is right underneath my block, view from my window. very much whiter than the day before.
view from the balcony. the roads were remarkably much smaller.
cars were crawling. they were plain disgusting with mud splashed all over them.

4th jan - testing out how deep the snow is. VERY. before the winds blowed them away it was this deep, some even worst. you might loose sight of your feet, and its horribly slippery.
soft nice snow bed. i tell you. better than the 1 i have @ home. didn't feel like getting up after that. hahaha.


at the park just across the road of our block. we couldn't find the 'way' home. every inch of the park was covered in white. snow time is the probably the only time we take short cuts across. because there is no walkways to tread on.
see, where is our original path?? donnoe.

and the horrible winds have to blow at 30km/h. making it blizzard-like, snow flying everywhere. and now the view from my window is so damn ugly.

the aftermath of the snowstorm. enough of pure white soft snow, this is what happens on the roads a few hours later.

gross. dirty. slippery.
every single car in bj needs plenty of scrubbing.
as long as theres humans and cars, its that bad.

ok but i insist i still like snow. but enough already! i want to go home.

on the 10th day of X'mas we have snow. its still white xmas issn't it?
while weather reports calls it 'bad weather', i say let it snow let it snow let it snow! snow to the fullest today...

and please stop fully 2 weeks later! because i wanna catch my train ride smoothly to Hong Kong.

its been snowing for 21hours straight now.

i noticed how the skies looked so white yesterday night while i prepared to go to bed, and only realise it was snowing when i saw that layer of white stuff on the roof of only 1 car. there was hardly any snow drops when i reached out my hands. and i was too tired to take out my camera to check if the snow had stopped.

the light snow came a bit unexpected early this morning, and the weather forecast predicts 90% chance of snowing tomorrow. so i guess, bj will be really white by tmr. and my room is super warm today i feel like opening the windows.

let twenty ten be a good year for all of us.
