Great day, Dunedin snowed! Let me tell you the story of the 'coolest' day ever (more like coldest day).
The day began with me going to church meeting. I had to leave home earlier because my flat-mate needed to take friends to airport, so I happily dolled up, put on my high heels (toes exposing) and went out.
Before I got in the car, it started to snow, I hesitated for a second if I should go back and change my shoes but I decided it can't be that cold so I sticked to pretty high heels. Throughout the church meeting, the snow, the hailing, the rain were amazing to watch!!! I was so excited to walk and play in the snow! Everything was white, so pretty!
Ok, now time to go home, got in the car, my flat-mate was a bit worried but the passengers including myself was excited to see how the town will looked like, coated with white snow as we all didn't realised we will need to drive up and down the hilly road to get back in town. So when we got to the up hill, our car stuck half way, not enough friction to go up. We waited and here came a good man, tolled our car up the hill and warned us not to go down the hill as it can be extremely dangerous.
Initially we wanted just stay in the car and wait for another friend who has chains on his car's tyres to rescue us. Unluckily, another church friend got into an accident with another two cars while going down the hill so he has to be rescued first. We couldn't wait anymore, it was freezing so everyone decided to walk back to town and that's when I realised I made a really bad choice for shoes today. So I got a friend to stay back with me, I put out my hand with my thumb up, hoping to get a ride from some stranger.
It was comforting to know there were many nice people in Dunedin, this man came along and gave us a ride to the main street (but still on the hill as he is not going to town) and saved me 12~15 minutes of walking in the snow in bare feet (high heels with toes exposing was as good as bare feet). So we got off his car and got no choice and started walking and putting my hand out again. Some cars past by waving and smiling to us, how considerate! But another driver showed his kindness after we been walking for 10 minutes and we hopped on and got to the town and we went to chopsticks straight away to have a hot pot to warm ourselves up.
I was supposed to work at chopsticks today so I will need to change to sneakers but I was too lazy to go home to change my shoes so I went to buy a 20dollars new shoes. Went to friends' house and made snowmen in front of their house. Suddenly my boss called saying that they are closing earlier today so I don't have to come in to work! Oh damn! But Hooray! It was cold yet fun. We also went to a carpark and made a snow-angel. =) Spent the rest of the day with friends talking and singing and cuddling~
I hope it will snow very heavily tomorrow that Uni have to cancel all the classes! Teeheeee!
