It's snowing... and time to enjoy it

So, it's been snowing quite a bit yesterday and i 2 of my 3 classes of the day were cancelled, due to the thanksgivings holiday...

but, i still woke up early for work, and then, got back from work, wasted time doing nothing, updated my blog again, and had lunch, and went to my Differential Equation class to collect my MT2... it's weird that he held on to my paper til the end of the class, because for the entire class, we were going through the paper... so, i was just sitting there without my paper, listening to the discussion... still don't really understand why... the result, not too bad, did a silly mistake... that's about it... happy...

went back to my room after that... Quang had this ingenious idea of going to the Arb (Nichols Arboretum) to walk in the snow... and to admire the beauty of nature... so, without nothing to do for the next 90 minutes, I decided to do this 'random act of stupidity' together... I grabbed my camera and wore gloves because we will be out for quite awhile...

halfway through walking in the 'woods', my batteries of my camera failed on me...(partly because I haven't been charging the batteries for quite sometime, and the cold temperature contributed partly to it too...)

Looking out from the window down the hallway

However, i still have several nice photos of the scenic Arb...

This is near the entrance of the Nichols Arb

Nice? It's so quiet and so serene...

River... really nice to kayak here during the summer and fall, but too cold for now...

That's Quang, the genius that came up with this idea of walking at the Arb when it was snowing..

So, we walked around and snapping pictures(Quang's camera was working all the time)... we followed the path, and halfway through, we kinda wandered off the path and started to walk our way through the woods...(not really dense, but really fun... tripping over some branches, and slipping every now and then...) After more than an hour of walking in the Arb, we got back to our dorm, and got ready to go out for movie...

Putt, Chye, Quang, Lili and I went to Showcase Cinema, which is quite far away, to catch Harry Potter and The Globet of Fire... We reached there at about 6pm to catch the 6pm show... The show was quite good... the CGI was awesome... but some of the characters weren't as good looking as they are supposed to be... the biggest letdown... Cho Chang... however, all this letdown were redeemed by showing Emma Watson in that hot dress, walking down the stairs... oooh... HOT HOT HOT...

got out from the cinema at about 8.45pm... tried calling cab but none responded... so, we decided to walk to Meijer to catch a bus... as we walked out of the cinema, a taxi came and 5 guys jumped out...(we were wondering whether the cab takes 5 ppl...that answered our question, and solved our problem of couldn't get a cab too) we hopped into the taxi and got a ride back to Central Campus... we stopped at South University St. to get dinner... again, we went to No Thai! I had a Chicken Gang Ped...(curry with Bamboo, Mushroom and bell pepper), Medium hot, and not bad... after that, we went back to our respective room... where I watched last week's Alias... and then, I called it a night, sleeping before midnight, which is like for the very first time in many months...

And again, yesterday was 23rd... which marked me away from home for 15 months... 1 year and 3 months... and counting...

Today's is Thanksgivings Day... Happy Thanksgivings!!! I'll be going to Melanie's, my hallmate's home, somewhere nearby (about 30 minutes drive), might be a longer drive because of the snowy and windy weather.... it's -11C outside now... with high of -7, and low of dunno what... and it's windy... nice...

I really enjoyed the walk in the Arb yesterday, i'll most probably go back there tomorrow and have a longer stroll, with my fully charged batteries... no worries about me getting lost because I will not wander off the trail this time and I've my cellphone with me... and there's coverage in the Arb...

til then... u guys enjoy... and have fun...
