This is my third year in England. For the past two years we were happy for white Christmas in Leicester. We experienced snow as early as mid-December. But this year I was quite disappointed when Mr. Snow didn’t come even on January. I thought I won’t be experiencing snow for the last time here.
But hey! Last evening, it was snowing really really heavy all over UK. Me and my friend were on trip to Stoke on Trent to play at the Water World. FOSIS (Federation of Student Islamic Societies) arranged an event that brings sisters around UK to experience night for all women in Water World. With only female life guard and female participants, it had been the best experience for me that I know I’ll never get in Malaysia.
The journey from Leicester to there was supposed to take around two hours. Due to heavy snow along the road, we arrived later than planned. Many cars stranded on the highway. This is my first time travelling by road during heavy snow. We were all really worried as we can see many vehicles stuck and not moving since the road was slippery.
After playing for three hours in the Water World, we headed back to Leicester. Then something unexpected happened when our coach had some problem and we have to change to another coach. We waited at services for around one hour with thick sow outside. I was too tired to play with other sisters who enjoyed snow ball fight and making snow man at the car park. Well it was 1 in the morning. After swimming and playing for three hours, who won’t fell exhausted?
We safely arrived home at 3.30 am. I couldn’t do anything anymore so I fall asleep as soon as I lied on the bed. Fuhh! It was a great experience. When I woke up today and looking outside the window, I snapped this picture. It’s really nice to meet you again, Mr. Snow!
