This is my first time going through winter and I don't really feel cold. Its all warm and fuzzy for me. "Why is that so?", you ask. I'll explain in a while. I've been expecting it to snow for quite a while, really desperate to feel how it is like because winter is always associated with snow, atleast in the movies I watch.
Yesterday, when I woke up, I was surprised to hear my phone beeping. It does that when there is a call or message that you've not picked up or read. I got 2 text messages from Rena.
She was urging me to go outside quickly to step on snow before it was all gone. I peered outside the window and it was all white. The view was beautiful. The day before it was a construction site for new apartments and now it is like a beautiful drawing. The snow was still falling lightly and I hurried to get ready.
I wanted to return Rena's call and the phone rang suddenly. Rena called me and told me to quickly get out and have fun in the snow. Thanks Rena! I really appreciate your text messages and your call.
I decided to walk to the office which would take me 40-45 minutes but I thought that it would be nice and I'll have lots of time to step on snow. Ignoring the mess on the highway and roads, Beijing has suddenly turned into a really scenic place. The small 'hutongs' that looked shabby yesterday, looks so warm and cosy now. Who said white is bland?
When I arrived at the office, I got another text message. This time its from Dominic. He asked me if I am enjoying the snow. And nearly at the end of the day, I got a text message from Bjorn also asking me about the snow.
Its the first day its snowing in Beijing and I am not worried about the cold weather or distracted by how beautiful the snow can be but the warm feeling I get from the people in Exoweb. Thanks guys!
