Snowy Weekend

Its getting a bit more frequent for the coming weeks ahead. Infact why shouldn't it be. After all X'mas just round the corner and that's how the folks like it to be - a white snowy x'mas. But for now its slushy and cold. Yup slushy because winter's snow here is usually mixed with rain. Notice, Sunday's snow that comes after Saturday's rain. Remember 7 eleven's slurply? Especially when you've been drinking one for an hour or so and there's not much of actual ice left at the end. That's what you get when you mix snow with a rain. And you call that "slushy". Snow would be nice without the slush-i-ness. Oh well, wait and see, I hope we could go out and enjoy it a fair bit on Sunday. Probably built a snow-man. But, who am I kidding, with exam and project due, a good 5 minutes of the outdoor would probably do - and then its back inside and right straight to the books.

The Weekend

So we lost count of how many weekends we've been away from home. Its really not our fault. I guess that's because the number just got bigger and its easier to count based on the months now because that's a smaller number. I would say give another 8 more days and we're officially been away from home for 2 months.

The spring season is officially over this week. Starting next week it summer. However, we're going to experience alot of rain this weekend. Our friendly CBC weather man, Peter, has forcasted a soggy Saturday noon till Sunday and most likely till next week onwards....



Hopefully it will clear up for the following weekend as we already got our tickets for the Nova Scotia seafood festival.

A Weekend At Point Pleasant Park

Although it is called Point Pleasant Park, I sometimes call it Pleasant Point Park. Anyhow promised earlier, here are some of the photos we took when we were at PPP last weekend. This was our fourth time there. Our first was about the last month when we just arrived to Halifax.

We made 2 trips over the weekend. One was on Saturday night when we left for the place at 8.30 pm. While on the second day we went during the afternoon.

On the way to PPP,

On the second day, we decided to walk through SMU campus, so we had some shots of it to show. We also took shots of Purcell Landing which was the place that we had our lunch and also read some notes. The weather was perfect too. Did you know that this is actually the LAST week of Spring? Starting next week it is already summer, so expect highs of 20 and lows of 15teen from now on.
