If someone were to ask me what's the most bizarre I saw, I would tell them I saw ice cubes pouring from the sky. And that really did happen! Omfg! Canberra rained ice on tuesday! It was freaking scary lah! Moreover, its like the first time I ever saw a hailstorm! Haha! Other than in the day after tomorrow that is. And well, I don't think many people have seen icecubes pouring from the top as well. I was in the common room doing my stuff and I saw people crowding around the entrance of the common room.
I was like, " WTH? Why people all crowding at the entrance? Nothing better to do is it?"
So being a true blue Singaporean, I went to look at what's the commotion about. And And And! I SAW THE SKY RAINING ICE CUBES! They're the size of those ice cubes you get in the tray! That was some sight! Everyone was very fascinated by the sight and were running and throwing the ice at each other, taking pictures of it. Its freaking painful to be hit by the cubes. That height and the velocity they are falling from. Gosh!
Ice cubes falling.
Cubes on the floor
Cubes around the plants
Frost on the floor.
People started to collect the ice into buckets!
Look at how big the cubes are.
Tom and me.
I know its like super unglam picture. Without makeup, with my hair like some cock, with my commonwealth tee and all but its the only picture i took with the ICE! haha! so yep! Bear with the ugliness lah! haha!
The union court, which is somewhere in the campus, had ice up to the calf area. And Zhong lost his slipper in the midst of taking pictures of the ice. It got stuck in the ice and never came out! haha!
We were all asked to evacuate to the common room and wait for the fire brigade to come to evaluate the situation. Had to stay there for 3 hours lah! But the good news was that school's cancelled for the next 3 days cuz of the damage it caused. There was some major short circuit and flooding in the school campus. So, the facilities were down. And thus we have our 3 days holidays! =)
The day after the hailstorm.
Look at how badly beaten the tree is.
The courtyard looks as if it has grown grass overnight. The tree which used to be big and strong looks as if its balding now. They had to sweep away all the leaves and clean up the whole hostel. But still, i'm thankful for the break!
Before and After the hailstorm!
Before the hailstorm, I went for this Chinese New Year celebration held by the Singapore Society in ANU. Didn't know we weren't supposed to come in white or black, because its not the first day. So in the end, I came in my favourite colour-white and black! Lol!
Kung Xi Fa Cai!
There is no Mandarin oranges in Canberra.
So we use grapefruit or big oranges instead! haha! We had lunch and lucky draw there! Pics of the celebration!
The booth they set up.
Some auspicious sign they wrote.
Me and minmin!
minmin and me with tingyi!
Tingyi was damn funny lah! Got caught in the pic with me and minmin when he's on the phone!
Flowers I took! =)
One group picture!
I won the second prize in the lucky draw! Haha! So lucky! but the prize wasn't very big. Was just some discount voucher in a Chinese restaurant in Civic.
With JD. President of Singapore Association.
Took a picture with the president. Its only a 20 bucks voucher at hidden dragon. So with the voucher, I went eat with min and Lawrence! Something pissed off happen, but well it ended the best it could lah. The only thing is I don't think I will be patronizing the shop anymore.
Min got this lollipop for me! haha! Its so big! its the size of my palmmmm!!!
See See!
The uber big lollipop! wont be able to eat it lah! shall just hand it for people to see!
After the ice
2 days after the hailstorm, we had a shopping trip to Woden. Some shopping center located about 40 mins bus ride away.
