It was in the end of march 2007. it should be spring time already, but weird enough the snowfall was so heavy at that day. It almost reached  my knees by evening. Everyone surprised, but this out of season snowfall was really beautiful. This is a photo I took when I was walking back home from school at that time. We (my friends and I) were cold. We wore no winter jacket, cause it was spring time already. We were cold but still this snowfall hold our breathe in awe.
"How mysterious life is. How great this world and it's creator." in a foreign land where I wasn't used to it yet, I had such thoughts. At that time, my mind flew right to my family and friends in my beloved tropical homeland. How hot it must be there in my coastal hometown. Yet, here in the same earth, it was freezing cold! I remember I was reaching out my hands trying to catch some of those snowfall. "this is water. In my hometown, this snowfall would come as pouring rain." it's just a matter of form, but the mood it brings was so different.  It was all white and quite. I feel so calm and at ease. I can't deny that sometimes I swore because of the cold. Well, I can't do anything about it. I was raised in a country where the everday temperature was never go down more than 25°C.  Yet, in winter days the temperature could reach -10°C... But still, even now I still miss this scenery sometimes. It's just another proof of how mighty and crafty the Creator is. There, in the cold and white snow, I found myself wondering about GOD and how is HE able to carefully create this little piece of snowflake one by one. His thoroughness is so wonderful, I can't find words good enough to explain what I thought at that time.
