Snow

Living in Malaysia..with only high humidity, sun and rain all year long…i used to envy those who could go overseas to enjoy spring, winter and fall of 4 seasons countries. I used to enjoy looking at their clothing…on tv.. different sets of styles for each season…i was fascinated by their winter coats…gloves.. and the snow!!! Awww….they looked elegant…and different.. I couldnt get enough watching that !! It must have been fun to be able to build a snow man…and to snow fight… in the high humidity of Malaysia… to escape in my mind into another season…….was wonderful…coming from a middle class working family, i knew going to overseas was not an option at all…. And so..i dreamt..…there is no harm to dream eh? Besides… i never dreamed of ending up in another country..to actually live there... that was far from mind….!! I was fascinated as well as scared to death…

As i was at the airport leaving Penang for İstanbul, i still remember my mom’s friend’s son told me to not buy too thick winter jackets…at least the ones that will make u look like a walking fat snowman….*Buy winter jackets that will keep u warm as well as keep u looking good…* he said….He was right of course… he used to study overseas..he should know...he was right to insistently told mr to not kill my style and body shape while keeping myself warm…

But did i listen? Hehehehe well..sort of....i was more concerned of keeping myself warm…so i bought quite a big winter jacket..at least bigger than my size then... but i was warm somehow…The truth is…u dont need to have too thick winter jackets in İstanbul coz it rarely snow and the snow doesnt really stay…it usually melt almost immediately…

But going to places where the snow doesnt melt is of course a different matter… last year…i bought this blue winter jacket which makes me 3 times fatter but is the warmest (coz it is the thickest) of all… i have thinner jackets…so having a thick one is a must somehow… who knows i might be in the snowy snow place…i thought…. And i was right… it needed it…though i looked so fat in it (in addition to my already fat figure…).. i was warm…

And for this Malaysian..to be with the snow….aaaaaahhh….. i simply love it! Esp when u r at the height of more than 1300 metres high :0) i guess if u put Malaysians at snow places….. u will find that they r the most easly recognizable lot coz they will be among the happiest lot…. At least this Malaysian was…is and will always be :0)

İ will be slowly uploading the rest of the photos into my photo blog… in a day or two..
