First Snow of the year

What a happy moment !!!

Recently sun goes to bed at 3pm, and it has been very often gray weather...

But yesterday, the first snow fell in Norwich, well all over in UK.

I have been quite stressed and busy busy due to several assignments to hand out before the Christmas vacation.
Snow gave me a moment to take a peaceful break and breath deeply.

In fact, this is the first time to see snow falling since 3 years ;)

Je love it !

Halloween

I went to attend at a charity Halloween party organized by Ben's sister on the Eve of Halloween (Oct 30).
It is "charity" because her son has Cystic Fibrosis since his birth.

The purpose of the party was to contribute to the disease treatment for kids like him.
Unfortunately he had chest infection a couple of days before the day of the party and had to stay in hospital for 2 weeks.

Of course, this 3-year-old little cute boy was not going to attend at the party but we worried about him.

Fortunately, 2 days go, he could go back home.

He looks like other kids when nothing is wrong but once he gets a spasm, it can become very serious problem.

Anyway, for the first time, I had to disguise in a ghost.

I did not have time at all to prepare because of all university work.

Friends told me to disguise in the ghost lady coming out from TV screen in a the famous Japanese horror film.
I know I don't look like her so much...

I was so impressed by other people very seriously disguised !
Also I had heard that the party would be for friends and relatives.

But, when I got there, I was so surprised of its scale...
Not at all family party but huge, very well organized gorgeous one!
There were over 240 people!

Live band music and DJ as well.
There was a bar and a section to get professional photography, too.
The meal was very nice☆
It was a very nice party and I was happy to get to know about the disease although it is very rare disease among Asians and to contribute to it a little bit.
