typical day

Good afternoon! Woke up at around noon and was lazing about in bed (yes, that's what snowy days are about. Being lazy!) when the fire alarm rang. My second time in 2.5 months being jolted out of bed due to the fire alarm, zzzzz. The first time that happened, I was still fast asleep in bed. Talk about the best alarm to wake one up, ever. Hrmph.

Anyway, standard protocol calls for everyone in the block to evacuate our flats and assemble at a gathering point in a nearby carpark. We never bother with going all the way to the gathering point but usually stay right below/outside the block cause we're aware that there's no actual fire going on; just the fire detectors being sensitive again. Another reason for this is because the fire alarm goes off so often that we find no cause for alarm (#puny).

throwing snowballs at windows!

As you can see, we weren't totally prepared for it so there were some who are in shorts, braving the cold. Tracy's forever and always in fbts in the flat so whenever we have to evacuate the flat, she's very gamely decked in shorts. March marks the start of spring but apparently the cold decided to stay for a little longer this year. It's a rare snowy spring day so some of us decided to play in the snow by the lake! I just trudged along and watched others make snowballs cause it was coldddd. Been snowing quite heavily for the past 2 days and it still is right now. The first time I witnessed the tiny white icy flakes floating from the sky, back on my second day here, I was so happy I kinda danced about in excitement. Nowadays, snow's grown to be a rather common sight but I still enjoy it very much. It's just so so beautiful ❤
