SEJUK......bila nak snow????

Cuaca di amman semakin lama semakin sejuk hingga mencengkam tulang...tak tahan sekali sejuk di bahagian kaki, i pakai stokin sampai 3 lapis+fluffy slippers..sejuk sekali walaupun heater terpasang..memang kaki I cepat sejuk, kalau musim panas pun jarang I tanggalkan stokin terutama waktu tidur apatah sekarang musim sejuk..dulu ingat negara arab semuanya panas sebab adanya padang pasir ...rupanya tidak, winter is winter even though snow is only 'pouring ' down once or twice ..itupun mungkin in late january or early february....

I ingat my first experience lihat snow masa di DC..it was at night, my friend ,Rufina n I were studying near the clear glass window..we were also listening to the radio n we didn't realize it was snowing until the DJ said, 'It's snowing now in DC." We were shocked n looked outside the window n..."wowwwwwwwwwww, it's snowing lahhh", we screamed like crazy.

What happened next? You bet!!

Off we went, putting on our winter gear etc..we strolled the whole part of our beloved town of Rosslyn(situated by the Potomac River) It's like dream came true..I had been longing to feel snow , to touch snow,to taste snow n on n on n on............we dragged our feet where nobody had set foot on the white blanketed snow...it's like Rosslyn was ours(it's true coz tak de org lain pun kat jalanraya yang 'jakun' macam we all......tak kisah memang suka sangat masa tu....

On our way back to our apartment,ours was on the 9th floor of River Place (it's like 5* hotel ...miss u river place!!), we were so embarrassed when we saw a group of malaysian boys (who also lived on the 9th floor) were looking at us..even though it was at night but all the street lights were on n they could see us clearly....

Guess what??When we reached our apartment, one of them(a boy with nickname Apple ) called us n apalagi kena kutuk macam-macam coz malam-malam buta keluar main snow.......Biarlah asalkan kami bahagia... it was cool man!!!.

Itu kisah first snow in the USA dulu-dulu punya cerita...

Let me tell u the first snow in Amman...If I was not mistaken it's on the 4/2/06......the night before we experienced heavy rain n very windy.....after subuh prayer I went back to bed until around 6.30am I got up coz I had planned to cook nasi lemak that morning...( my hubby was on leave, so he was here in amman and one medic student from dublin , syafiq who was on holidays also spent a night at my house). Before I went to the kitchen downstairs, I said to my darling hubby maybe it's snowing n I looked thru the window.....It's all white outside..i couldn't believe my eyes, it was snowing, it was snowing!! I told izzat n sumayyah that it was snowing but nobody believed me....

.Why ??

Coz it's been so many times that I was only joking about snow...

When they found out that it was really snowing............macam mak dialah jakun first time nampak snow........Mimi, izzat, sumayyah, zaid, syafiq n my darling hubby pun keluar rumah main snow n they snapped pictures......I masak nasi lemak but i made myself clear to them...snow in my house backyard was mine, I would be the first to touch n set foot on it.....nobody else could..hahaha.After finished cooking apalagi I launched the 'pijak snow' ceremony in my backyard..dah dapat bergambar I pun 'serahkan' snow pada my kids...sukanyalah mimi n sumayyah main snow n buat pingu, nak buat big snowman tak cukup banyak snow ...dapatlah diaorang bergambar dengan pingu....

Itulah snow yang agak lebat, bertahan sampai tengah hari,.....yang lainnya sikit-sikit je tak cover jalanraya pun..........

Apapun I memang suka snow............when I think of snow , I think of my childhood dream............SNOW! SNOW! I LOVE U SNOW !!
