brr...

it's winter now. i'm a cold frog. i hate winter. ><
funnily enough, 'cold frog' doesn't have a direct translation into cantonese. i tried literally translating 'cold frog' into canto for my relatives, only to be met with blank stares. nowadays, i just tell them, "i'm afraid of the cold/i get cold easily."
three years ago, i was still stuck in the insane asylum (more commonly referred to as the princess alexandra hospital :P) around 6:30 every morning, the nurse would dig me up for breakfast. after the nurse got me kitted for the day, i'd ask, "nurse, can you please gimme another jumper? i'm still cold." the nurse would stick one jumper on me, then i'd say, "nurse, can i please have another jumper? i'm still cold." so the nurse would stick another jumper on me, only to hear me say, "nurse, can i please have one more jumper? i'm still cold."
@ this point, the nurse would stop and look incredulously @ me. "emily, are you sure you want to wear THREE jumpers?!" and i'd reply, "yes, coz i'm cold! >< look, if you see me during the day and i'm melting, you've permission to take them all off, but right now, i'm COLD!" XD
BTW, i think that whoever invented the heater deserves a nobel peace prize. :P
luckily, when i came home from hospital three years ago, dad installed an air con for my room, meaning i'm now warm in winter and cool in summer. :) i'm particularly grateful for the heater in winter, coz i'm a first class messy sleeper. i @ least wake up once every night, freezing my socks off coz i've kicked my blankets to the end of the bed/off the bed entirely! to combat my messy sleeping, i remember mother once zipped me inside a sleeping bag. but guess what? come the morning, i'd officially squirmed out of it. XD
but yeah, basically: i hate getting wet and i hate being cold. :P
hmm ... i guess this post should also be reflections on autumn, too, now that it's officially winter.
well, after saying that summer was actually quite bearable coz of all the flooding, which kept the temperature from searing us, autumn met us with some spectacularly hot days, if you can remember.
but autumn's officially my favourite season of the year - know why? coz my bday falls during autumn! :D
anyways, next post here ... umm, i think SHINE fellowship are going to the pastor's place on saturday ... cya then!
cheers,
em. ^^
