A white X'mas in the desert
At precisely 6:03am on this X'mas eve morning, I received an sms from my Project Manager asking if I wanted to go jogging with him. I agreed and lazily hauled myself out of bed to prepare for the morning run. Upon opening the front door, I was greeted by a most unlikely scene ... the surrounding area was so misty and not to mention cold too. The chilly humidity was a pleasant welcome since the weather had been very dry lately. With my windbreaker zipped up, we started the workout. Visibility was less than 10 meters and passing vehicles were practically crawling cautiously.
With this kinda environment, it reminded me of scenes in ol' London during yesteryears that we often see in the movies (think Oliver Twist) and was half expecting Jack The Ripper to jump out of the corner and take me to my doom. Haha.
40 minutes later and panting heavily, I entered my room and what I saw in front of the mirror shocked me. The cool weather had caused the water vapour in the air to crystalised at the tips of my hair. Hence, I literally had my entire head covered with ice. Cool huh. :D
Anyways, it's not everyday one will have the oppurtunity to experience this kinda thing especially over here in Abu Dhabi but I guess it's the closest I can get to a white X'mas. :p
Have you been naughty or nice this year??? Here's wishing all of you a very Merry & Blessed X'mas!!! HO HO HO.
