I finally know how snow feels like and how people in snowy places adapt to it. As much as i see so many happy faces as snowflakes trickle down to faces of Hollywood actors and actress, with so much glee but on the comfort of my comfy armchair, snow is actually not as attractive and in fact quite depressing. You will realise this when you have to muster that extra effort to wear inner wear, your first layer, your second layer, your jacket, your overcoat, thick socks, boots before going out of the house. Oh yah, gloves and a hat too. Then when you reach you car, you realise that it is buried in heaps of snow and slush. Sigh, you spend 15 mins scrapping and clearing the car before getting in and starting the car. The drive can be exiciting though but dangerous. Slippery conditions abound and one slight misturn, you will be slipping and sliding. You park your car in an open carpark and face the winds snow again, in such freezing temperatures. This is all the work that i do before going to office… As i reach the office, it sometimes feels like the day is already over and i need rest…. NOT! Day has only just begun… I have to repeat this cycle each time i go to work and go back home and each time i go out….sounds like a tough cumbersome process…. Does snow sounds attractive to you now?
HAHAHA! No, not anymore. I also haven’t seen snow before..
