I Love Winter.... I Miss the Snow

Bonjour! Comment allez-vous?

Let it snow... Let it snow... Let it snow....

Snowflakes

Now it's November. Dah nak masuk December dah kan? Nanti dah nak X-mas dah. Kalau pk pasal X-mas mesti tingat pasal snow. Pulak tuh baru jer lepas tgk citer lama Sandra Bullock - While you were sleeping. Ada scene yg ada snow. Tuh yg tetiba syahdu ni... tingat snow.....

Rindu nye nak pegang snow.... rindu nya nak tgk snowflakes.

The first time snow turun and first time RedBerry tgk and pegang snowflakes masa RedBerry tgh shopping kat Dublin. Masa tuh baru balik dari kelas, pegi jalan2 kat shopping mall kat situ. Sekali semua org dlm mall tuh bising. Rupanye it was snowing!!! Histeria semua org!!! hahahhaha

Kebetulan masa tuh, it was the first time snowing after 4-5 years dah tak snow kat Dublin. Semua org (termasuk mat salleh) pun happy sakan biler nampak snow. Lawak giler. RedBerry ngan my frens lagi la jakun tahap dewa kan. Menjerit meluru keluar mall, terlompat2. One of my frens bawak camera. Apa lagi, siap amik gambar sakan. Hahahhaa... sungguh nostalgia.

Rindu nyeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!

Jom kita usha, reasons naper RedBerry suka winter and rindu sgt snow.

*ZZZZAAAAAAAaaSSSSSSsssss!!!*

# 1 - Beautiful, cold and white winter scenery

Cantek kan? Semua bende nampak putih jer. Nampak bersih and sejuk mata memandang. Hahhaa mmg sejuk pun. *grin* Kalau bangun pagi2, tgk kat luar tingkap ada snow, mmg rasa happyy sgt. Rasa tenang jer. 

#2 - Making Snowman

Kalau tetiba snow tuh tebal sgt, mmg ada peluang la nak buat snowman. RedBerry tak pernah dapat buat yg besar. Buat yg kecik2 ada la. Coz masa kat Dublin and London dulu, snow takde la tebal sgt. Kalau time tebal pun, sejuk sgt nak lepak kat luar lama. Org Msia la katakan :P

#3 - Making Snow Angel

Snow Angel ni best esp kalau lepak kat tgh2 snow ramai2 and buat snow angel ni ramai2. Naper panggey Snow angel? Tgk la gambar kat atas tuh. Kalau kita move kita nye tangan ngan kaki serentak, boleh dapat shape ala2 Angel tuh... nampak kan? Hahaha comey giler. Time ni mmg best kalau nak cari alasan berguling2 dlm snow la.

#4 - Snow Sliding

Masa first time sampai Dublin and first time dapat main snow, we all satu batch keluar apartment dalam kul 3 pagi, semata2 nak main snow slide nih. Hahaha giler kan? Kebetulan lak, masa tuh snow lebat turun after midnite. Tunggu la dlm a few hours, so  that snow dah tebal, ramai2 turun main snow slide. Kalau pk balik, mmg entah apa2 la. Jakun punye pasal kan. *grin* Tapi best!!!

#5 - Snow Ball Fight

Snow ball fight ni mmg harus lah main kan. kumpul snow dlm tangan, kepal2 kasik bulat... and baling!!!! Baling kena lah tepat kat badan org lain. Perghhhh.... kalau kena kat dada, sakit jugak. Kat padang besar best la main ni, coz boleh kejar2. Ada sekali tuh budak laki baling kat muka RedBerry, terkena pipi... merah menyala pipi! sakit!!! hahahaha Tapi tak marah... c'mon! it's snow fighting anyway. Balas balik la!

#6 - Catching snow on tongue

First time RedBerry tgk snow with my own eyes, and pegang snowflakes with my own hands, RedBerry takleh nak resist from sticking out my tongue to catch the flakes out of the air! Siap terpk, kalau bawka sirap nih best nie... terus buat ABC... hahahhaa :P



#7 - Walking in the snow

Paling best kalau snowflakes dah tak turun, tapi jalan penuh ngan snow and masih baru. kalau dah melting tuh tak best dah, jalan jadi licin. Kalau silap terpijak ice tuh mmg boleh jatuh la. Bahaya. Yg best pasal jalan atas snow ni, the feeling masa kita pijak tuh. Kasut habes la basah kan.

#8 - Enjoying hot steaming coffee

Biasanye before masuk kelas or masuk opis, mmg kena stop dulu la beli coffee for breakfast. Kata winter, pulak tuh kena time snowing, perghhhh... pekena coffee mmg ngam lah! Bau coffee pun kalau kita lalu depan kedai2, dah menyelerakan. Time winter la nak cari alasan minum coffee or teh byk2.

#9 - Wearing layered clothes with long jacket, 
long boots and scarf

Rindu nye nak pakai lapis2 ni. Baju kat dlm dua tiga lapis, kat luar pakai long kot. Kalau ada boots panjang lagi cun. Scarf mmg kena pakai. Kalau time sejuk beku sampai ke tulang tuh, kena cover leher and telinga. Telinga confirm merah, coz sejuk. Bukan takat merah jer, sakit. Mmg RedBerry kena cover.

AND

MOST IMPORTANTLY

#10 - Makeup will not "melt off"

This one RedBerry baru discover after pegi oberseas lepas study. Dulu time2 belaja mana la sentuh makeup nih. Pakai bedak Johnson & Johnson and lipstick jer, beb. Skang since dah pandai tempek2 makeup ni, RedBerry dapat beza kan kalau pakai makeup kat Msia and kat luar. Ada certain products yg RedBerry boleh guna everytime kat obersea, yg kat Msia mmg tak dapat RedBerry nak pakai. Bukan apa, weather tak sesuai, coz nanti muka RedBerry jadi oily.

That's why RedBerry suka winter and snow!!!

I love winter.... i miss the snow

I need a vacation.... *grin*

I like...... Smell of Rain

Bonjour! Comment allez-vous?

It's been a while tak hujan lebat for a whole day. I really miss that. Today ada la hujan sekejap. Tapi kejap sgt lah. Tu pun, RedBerry kat dlm opis. Then panas balik. Panas tuh satu hal, tapi bahang tuh, yg tak tahan. Malam2 pun kalau pasang aircond camna pun, still panas. Global warming teruk sgt ke?

Hujan oh! Hujan, mengapa kau tak turun???? Sebab katak tak panggey kau ke????

RedBerry miss hujan, coz tak tahan panas skang nih. Another reason is i like the after-the-rain smell. Trasa nyaman, tenang. Esp kalau kita dok kat kampung, owwwhhhh nyaman nye. Pulak tuh kena hujan pagi... owwwhhh... sgt sejuk... sgt best! Kalau atas katil, mesti tarik selimut, pulak tuh hari minggu.. owwhhh mesti la layan tidooooooo *grin*

Kalau hujan petang pulak, mmg bersyukur sgt lah. Just imagine, dari pagi sampai la petang, panas. Berasap kepala nih. Tetiba hujan... hujan pulak lebat. waaahhh.... kalau dok kampung, dah lepak kat luar umah, menikmati hujan. Bau hujan ni mmg tenang la. Dunno why, mmg RedBerry suka bau lepas hujan. 

Ni RedBerry amik from one of the websites pasal hujan. It says that:

"......Another after-the-rain smell comes from volatile oils that plants and trees release. The oil then collects on surfaces such as rocks. The rain reacts with the oil on the rocks and carries it as a gas through the air. This scent is like the bacteria spores in that most people consider it as pleasant, fresh smell. It has even been bottled and sold for its aromatic qualities!"

PULAK tuh.... kalau petang2 hujan lebat, dapat pekena ------------->>>>

KOPI O PANAS

UBI KAYU REBUS, Makan ngan kelapa parut!!!

Perghhhh!!! It's PERFECTO!!!!!

Tingat zaman2 masa kat kampung. Masa tuh nenek RedBerry still ada. In fact, moyang RedBerry pun masih ada. They all mmg suka masak2 nih. Esp kalau tea time tuh mesti la ada something. Ye la, kalau atok balik from solat Asar, mesti dia nak makan. Kalau dah hujan tuh, nenek tau2 jer we all nak makan ubi rebus yang sedap itiewwwww. *grin*

Owwwhh hujan, please la turun.... 

Let's dance in the rain

If I were a Ballerina

Bonjour! Comment allez-vous?

In my previous entry, i did mention that i cant sing, remember? I am a so-called 'tone deaf'. But if u ask me whether i can dance. My answer would be.... well, i can move.. i can shake my booty. Dance is actually not necessarily u have to shake your booty like Beyonce. Dance is when you start let your body move to the rhythm. So if that's what u called dance then... yeahh i will say i CAN dance, baby! *:LOL*

When I was in standard six, i joined a group of student to perform for Teachers' Day or something (i cant really recall the occasion..sorry). The song was Brother Louie by Modern Talking. If u asked me did i still remember the steps? OF COZ...... NOT! I still cant even believe how did i get involved with that group at the first place. But i remember that it was MADNESS... and FUN! The next one that i performed on stage was when i was in my second year at the college. Jangan marah aaaa.. it was Malay traditional dance! Hahaha.. Lagi parah aku... but i think i did it very well. *a big pat on my shoulder*. Ok fine! I can move, i can shake a booty.... i simply can dance! Hooorrraayyy! Hang on! The question is... can i do Ballet? *drop dead*

Ballet dancing

What?! Ballet? It never crossed my mind to learn Ballet... hahaha... since i was small, ballet is far beyond my reach.. beyond my imagination. Of coz i do love to see ballet dancing. It is beautiful, graceful kind of dancing! But dun u think it is for orang-orang kaya? Kan? Kalau masuk ballet jer.. it means u anak org kaya, beb. But not anymore! Nowdays, anybody can afford to learn ballet. Dun ask me how much, but i know it is affordable. :)

A Ballerina

Nevermind, just put aside that it was too late for me.. for myself to learn Ballet. At the age of 32, i dun think i wanna pursue learning ballet. Hahahaha... gelak besar la my husband. But! If i were a ballerina... a ballet dancer.... how it would be.. how it would benefit me? Come let's share some info about ballet dancing *smile*

En Pointe

Ballet benefits:

1) Promotes better posture
Ballet exercises require the use of good posture and alignment.


2) Scuplts and tones your body
The movements are designed to tone and firm muscles, so we can develop long and lean muscles without developing thick and bulky ones.


3) Develops poise and body awareness
The exercise called Barre, which is designed to help build poise and grace. These exercises are repeated as each class to help build balance, strength and poise.

Exercise called Barre

4) Helps to relieve stress
Ballet is an exercise and it releases feel-good chemicals called endorphins into the brain. So the movements are known for releasing stress and tension from the body. This in turn contributes to an overall improved sense of well-being.

5) Promotes flexibility
Baller uses muscles that are seldom used in other sports, giving us a total body flexibility workout.

6) Promotes creative expression
Ballet is also a form of artistic expression. We interpret each dance movement in our own unique way and it becomes our own personal expression. This can be quite therapeutic for both mind and body.


Ok tak? Byk lagi benefits of ballet dancing... Ni adalah antaranye yg RedBerry nak share ngan uols. *grin*

What we need to be a ballet dancer

Will u marry me?

If i were a ballerina, rasa nye Mr RedBerry kena propose me camni la ek? hahahaha... best nye!! Tgk la kaki pompuan tuh. Imagine i kena standing on the tips of the toes like this... hikhikhik... it could be hilarious!! and.... most of all... Mr RedBerry kena pakai seluar ketat tuh???? OH NO!!! tak rela u!!!

If i were a ballerina.... mesti everytime mengemas umah, mcm ballerina kan? Sambil sapu umah, sambil menari ballet... boleh imagine tak, uols????? Kata nak move GRACEFULLY kan.... *chuckle*

If i were a ballerina... biler Mr RedBerry sampai umah from work, i pegi sambut dia kat pintu mcm pix kat bawah ni.... hahaha... aduihh tak boleh blah la... *gelak tergolek*

Beautiful and graceful.... perfect!

Whatever it is... I dun think i can do ballet.... if i had a daughter and if she's interested, then i will let her do the things :)

Happy dancing!

Ok la. See ya in my next entry!

Till then... A Bientot!
