winter's finally here!

just as we thought that spring was coming, with the days getting longer and warmer... temperatures dipped suddenly over the past few days and this evening, after i got back to the warm comfort of my home, it started to snow.... like really snow. for the first time since we stepped foot on copenhagen. and it was quite heavy too. visibility was supposedly quite low, according to jm, who appeared at our doorstep covered in snow, and the snow actually settled and formed white roofs and white bicycles. haha. debbie has a video but i haven't taken it from her.

in another first, today was also the first time i actually cycled in copenhagen. borrowed deb's bike to go to school this morning, and i didn't really know the way, so i was like 10 mins late for class. haha. (what's new, i would have been late even if i took the metro instead) it was quite ok, albeit a bit tiring, and slightly scary to be on the road. just when i thought that perhaps the weather might be warming up and it wouldn't be too cold to cycle. tomorrow i'll ride my landlord's bike. it's way too high for me but i'm gonna try anyway. cannot afford to spend 310dkk on the monthly concession anymore :(

the weather must feel really confused. feb was supposed to be the coldest month, but everyone thought that spring was coming early this year because it wasn't as cold as it was supposed to be.

to put everything in perspective, in jianfeng's words: "the flowers must feel damn du lan. open already then have to close again."

    you know cycling will do wonders to your body. according to Shing! He lost 6kg in 1 month just from cycling! If you keep it you, you'll be super-toned and then you'll be glad you cycle everyday! heehee...
