A white Christmas, for me?

For the people who live in the tropics, it just can't be help that we wished for a winter wonderland, a white Christmas.

It's wishful thinking, obviously. Unless, I travel out of the equator and into the upper part of the Northern Hemisphere. It's not deliberate, I know that the Europeans and Americans are suffering in their dreadful weather conditions. Too much of snow result in disruptions and chaos.

From London to Paris to Russia to some states in US, the wintery weather is taking to an extreme. Wow, not to be a sadist, but I do love some snow. Well, as a tourist. I doubt I can spent all my life experiencing it over and over again.

Ahh well, this year, I'll have to be content to spend Christmas in Singapore.

Nevertheless, the spontaneous trip to wintery Sydney was so worth it. I had my share of coolness and rain to last through the year. It's really a memory to remember, a trip that was put together so fast, decided today, flying off the next. Sweet, sweet surprise~

I'm placing my hopes in my near future, that I could enjoy myself with trips to winter wonderlands, beautiful summers, breezy springs, and scent-heavy autumns.

Cheers to this festive season. May it be as lovely and beautiful as every other Christmases to come.

Where the treetops glisten, and children listen to hear sleighbells in the snow~

I just love good, ole Christmas songs. Nothing too modern nor too "choir-y". Just traditional songs sung by the few crooners who make your heart beats faster.
