we want snow!

minus 4 degrees out! *keeps running to the window to check for snow* i sincerely hope for snow. i sincerely want want want to see snowflakes in the shape of crystalline stars. *clasps hands together and silently chants for snow*. hoping and wishing for a white white christmas. it prolly won't be much fun after awhile but i'll be taking a picture of my first snowflake. i'll prolly name it.....some special name. i've gone slightly kooky.

oh gosh. my friend just reminded me that its december next week. meaning.....winter bears down upon us, unavoidable. praying hard that i won't suffer too horribly. on the other hand, manchester's up north so we'll probably have snow? mmhmm! slush slush

am here.am cold.

i'm here! in salford. enjoying the english wet cold weather. how to describe it? bleak. just plain depressing bleak. argh. my feet are cold. interesting flight though, as seeing it was me first international flight. some drunken english fellow who gulped down so much alcohol but still insisted on having more gin and tonic. ooh, the food on emirates was quite good. never went hungry. and nice movies too! my fave, sound of music was playing. =D
no time for jetlag. sighs. went straight to register blah blah blah after arriving. walked everywhere. buildings are 5-15 minutes apart but walking is tiresome for a pampered penangite. somemore the weather so cold, windy and rainy. blah! in the end, my hair looked like some mop that had been involved in a typhoon.
good thing is, have nice housemates. nice english girls. very helpful. right now, am really thankful for my Bible. oh so thankful. and thankful for my loverly family who cushioned this traumatic experience. haha..otherwise i might have gone siao already. what with the having to sit on the plane for so long, finding out the weather is so bleak and most probably gonna get worse! have this feeling i'm gonna be thankful for alot more.
oh, i'm so tired. going to sleep. for now, bye.


here's some pictures for y'all.

nice view of manchester, eh?

the appalling state of my room. i know. *sheepish grin*
