Thank you, thank you for all your encouragement and support. But it’s also very stressful leh….*bites finger*. Ok, this auntie here promises to try ok? But this will be a general blog and not just on BYJ (for the uninitiated, BYJ = Bae Yong Joon)

From a very young age, I’ve always wanted to see a white Christmas.

Blame it on the Christmas songs, the movies, Christmas cards and most of all, the many Enid Blyton books that were a staple diet when I was growing up.

Growing up in a tropical country, just a few degrees away from the equator, snow seemed so very romantic and wonderful… warm chocolate, fireplace, snowman, etc… all made even more appealing during the scorching hot months of July, August. A bathtub full of snow… hmm…

Of course watching Winter Sonata made this desire even greater. hahaha!

Last year, back in UK for a family visit, I finally got my wish. It was one of the coldest winter for a long time.

One early morning, shortly after Christmas, I woke up, drew apart the curtains and was greeted by this sight.

I was so thrilled, I shouted to my still sleeping hubby:”Hubby, hubby, snow, snow!!!!”

I felt like a little child that had just been given a toy that she had wanted for a long time.

Isn’t this a beautiful, lonely picture? Blue, blue sky, white snow, bare trees, empty, winding road. I kept thinking of April Snow. And wish I had brought the cd with me. But I’ve subjected that poot hubby of mine to enough Korean pop back home alreday and shouldn’t subject him to further torture when we’re on holiday.

But I do wish I was able to listen to that song then.
