God Spilled a Bowl of Icing Sugar

... a very very large bowl of it.

Just wondering around the other day in the pure whiteness and chanced upon Bloesempark (Amsterdamse Bos) on the way down to Amstelveen, the sheer size of it is amazing.

Icing sugar? Snow on logs,... isn't that how Christmas log cakes came about? Staring at logs made me hungry, even snow on twigs reminded me of pretzels with icing on it... sigh. I'm such a glutton.

Christmas in Winter Wonderland

My first week into the cold weather here in Netherlands and am enjoying every minute of it.

Though we are not experiencing as much snow as England, which too much of anything could be a disaster, it's sufficient to build snowman and have a jolly good time throwing snowballs.

Spent five hours walking in the park/ snow today, everything from scenery to passerby, the atmosphere just felt so surreal and calm. As if it's hasn't been totally polluted by modernization.

Did I mention that winter's my favourite season? lol Guess it's not hard to tell.

Missing and Missing Outs

.
.
.


Mood: Sentimental/ Empty

Have I been away for too long? I welcome changes, we grow along side with changes. Some of us change for the better, few stays in the same spot.

Changes, one of my girlfriend's leaving next year... I can't help but start missing her already. Since I might be flying earlier than I thought, it would be less than a week of us being in the same country before her departure.

Despite feeling the void, I'm glad that she's finally taken on the challenge to further her studies. It contradicts that both the sense of sadness and happiness can both occur at the same time. Sigh.






Mood: Shitty

Missing out on a buddy's visit home end of this year, feeling shitty.

Though I've gotten used to being away from friends most of the time, even more reasons for me to hold on to our friendships even more dearly.

Friends, they watched me laughed, they watched me cry. They walked with me, shared memories with me. I can't imagine what I'd be without them.

There are some whom I'd only acknowledge as aquaintances, they passes by quietly.

There are some who leaves deep footprints, and those I acknowledge as friends.

Missing out on the departure and arrival of two friends, I'm more sorry for myself than to them. I'm sure they'd do fine without my presence, but I can't say the same for myself.

Goodbye G, and D, enjoy your trip home.
