a trip to Botanical Garden

More photos here

the weather was oh-so-lovely. bright mr sunshine was out, beaming proudly in the clear blue sky. the temperature was ok. not that cold. not that hot. the weather was just too lovely to be wasted just like that. something must be done. i shall not just laze in my cosy room and let this beautiful day slip away from my hand. hence, i decided, i must go to botanical garden. i've never been there before, but i've heard plenty of superb reviews bout the place. i have to go there.

rather than going to town (an innocent visit to town will always lead to dangerous shopping spree! hehe) where money will keep running out of my pocket like water, going to botanical garden to view scenic panorama sounds more tempting to me. Since my friends are busy preparing for their exams, i headed off to Botanical Garden by myself. it is simply a journey that i do not regret.

after a visit to the RHH, i walked all the way to Botanical Garden. It is not that far. it took me just about 10 minutes walk. I got there, and snap snap snap all the way! I am starting to enjoy taking pictures of sceneries now. It is more natural and I love it.

Snow in Sheffield =)

It was 3rd January 2008. I was fast asleep in my cosy duvet, when my handphone suddenly emitted a sound. a text message received. usually i will just ignore the message and continue sleeping. i will get back to it after i wake up. but somehow, miraculously on that day, i found my hands reaching for my handphone. with lazy eyes, i read the text message. 'SNOW!' that one simple word made me jolted happily out from my pinky duvet. i rushed to the window and, yes, it is snowing outside! weeeee~

my housemates must have got the text message as well, cause i can hear their voices cheerfully chatting outside my room. Emy and azian (who happened to stay over at our place the night before) rushed into my room and jumped up and down happily. 'It is snowing, weh!' hehe.

Azian was obviously more excited than us, since this is her first time to actually witness snow in Sheffield. This is our third year here in Sheffield, so we've had experienced snow before. But still, that doesn't lessen our excitement even a notch just to see the beautiful white snow covering the black bleach ground. Despite the biting-cold weather that comes along with it, i still do LOVE snow. it is just so beautiful, a beauty from Allah that i just can't explain in words.

with enthusiast rocketing up to the ceiling, we decided to go out and play with the snow. eventhough the snow was not that heavy, that did not stop us from snapping pictures! hehe.
