I was very excited when I looked out of the window to see it snowing suddenly. Got my camera, braved the cold and ran out of the flat wearing my tee shirt and shorts. Few photos later I returned to the warmth of my room. Brrr... But the first few photos were wasted efforts, there was no hint of snow at all because it wasn't snowing very heavily. Later it became more snowy and I ran outside again but still no luck. Sighs. The snow stopped about 10 minutes later.
Only later in the afternoon did I manage to snap two photos that had any indication of snow when it started snowing again. Good thing the temperature had not gone up, or it might have been rain instead. Actually, in the photo it does look like it's just raining heavily! But this time the snow only lasted 5 minutes or so. Too bad. All the photos I took from behind a window (my room's, and the one in the corridor) didn't work too. No sign of snow at all.
Was listening to BBC Radio 2 online after dinner while browsing blogs and was reminded of Singapore. Imagine, listening to British radio still can think of Singapore?? Wells, one song certainly worked. It was 'Downtown', sung by Mathilda (if I didn't hear wrong). 'So go downtown, everything's waiting for you...' (or something like that). Remember the advertisement for Downtown East? That's the one! I'd always thought it was some silly jingle they made up for the ad, but now I know it's not. The version I heard was in four languages, 'a special version made specially for BBC', according to the DJ.
Haha don't ask me why I was listening to Radio 2, I just suddenly felt like hearing some oldies... and this station had some oldies programmes. I was going to click on one of them but the 'listen live' came on before I could do that and I got hooked by the oldies they were playing at that moment. Haha perfect! But later another programme started and this time it reminded me of band. Cos it was a documentary about some brass band composer or about brass band music(I think). So it had lots of not-very-short snippets of brass band music. Nice.
