Right. So my wish for heavy snow did come true in a nasty way. I was definitely asking for too much, and I almost paid a price for it.

A blizzard occurred today. BLIZZARD...not just normal snowfall enough to cover the place in white!!!!

I had to walk 30 mins in the blizzard (and thank goodness I was asked to leave the clinic early when the doc realised I don't have a car) from clinic to the main bus station because this kind woman I met at the bus stop specially came to tell me that the bus isn't operating due to bad weather.

Thank goodness I wore a sweater beneath my thick jacket, instead of my usual underdressed attire for winter (I was still underdressed though..), but I was freezing like mad. Couldn't even talk, and my feet were so cold that I couldn't feel my toes anymore. The ground was slippery and it was a nightmare having to make sure I don't slip and fall, plus enduring the tormenting cold while my feets immersed into the thick white snow.

I promised my bf that I'll be back when the snow falls and I told myself that I MUST make it back no matter how tough it is. That kept me going in the cold. My feet were hurting so badly that I could hardly walk at one point, but it was the thought of him that kept me moving.

Finally, I made it to the bus station, covered in snow. I knew I must have looked like a snowman and had to shake off all the snow that has accumulated over my bag and head, just so that others won't be laughing at me.

I caught a glimpse of the coach, and I thought I'm saved, but the driver said bus services are all terminated, and because the weather is so bad, the motorway is jammed, accidents have occurred, and if we leave the station, we might end up getting stuck on the road for hours. Plus it is extremely dangerous as the coach drivers were saying that it's too slippery to drive safely.

The driver did try to get back to Cardiff, but it was just impossible. The bus was sliding off the road even when we weren't even 5 minutes into the journey. The traffic wasn't moving one bit at all and he had to tell us to find an alternative way back.

I was very scared that I can't make it back. I didn't want to break my promise. And most importantly, I forgot to bring my debit card!!! All I had was 5 pounds, and if I can't get back to Cardiff, I knew I'll have to sleep in the streets. And I had no food with me too.

I was freezing as I made my way to the train station. I didn't know if the trains have stopped operating. The buses and taxis have all stopped operating, and all I could think of was to put my last bet on the train.

I was touched that my bf cared lots for me because he rang me so many times to see if I managed to get onto a mode of transport safely. When he heard that I am stuck with only 5 pounds, he told me to stay put while he'll rush to catch a train to go and find me. My heart warmed instantly..I didn't expect him to wanna do this for me. But I knew I wasn't going to let him come over. It's simply too dangerous and the last thing I want is for him to endanger himself for me, and risk getting stuck in the middle of nowhere.

It was a mad rush up the train. I managed to pay for a ticket with no guarantee that it'll depart. It felt like as if people were running from some war..rushing up the train as quickly as possible to grab a seat.

I was lucky. I managed to get a seat..not very comfy..but I'm not grumbling. It was the last train to leave for Cardiff. The train operator said there are visual problems, so the train might not be leaving, but they'll try..which they did.

It was loud cheers and claps when the train started moving. I wasn't sure if I was ever gonna make it back, but at least, I'm a step closer.

My bf was extremely happy when he knew I got onto the train safely, and said he'll bring an extra sweater and wait for me at the train station because he heard me shivering like mad on the phone. Yup, my teeth were chattering endlessly.

Fortunately, the blizzard ended and I managed to get back to Cardiff safely. Didn't want my poor boy to get out in the cold to meet me, so I just told him to stay in the flat and wait for me to get home.

The moment he opened the door, I felt a great sense of relief. He gave me a very very big hug, and I felt totally like a baby. I couldn't talk at all...I was still shivering.

My toes and fingers were so painful and I couldn't do much with them. But my boy was really kind, helping me remove my shoes and socks, and getting me my set of dry warm clothes so that I can change into them before tucking me under his blanket. I felt so comfy that I dozed off, and got woken up by him to have a bowl of hot noodles which he cooked for me. He was guessing that I must be hungry, which I really was.

Sweetest conversation while I was tucked warmly....

Me: I was so scared that I'll not make it back to see you. What will u do? Will u really go and find me like u said?
CG: Yeah. I was already planning to catch a train to find u. I can't let u be alone out there.
Me: But what if the train isn't working?
CG: I can walk...it is extremely far I know. But as long as I can get to find u, I'll try every way to do so.
Me: Thanks. I'm really touched...and I know u will. But it's alright. I'm home now. By the way, even if u wanna walk...u can't. They sealed the motorway.
CG: Oh no..then there's no way..
Me: U can swim there and find me.
CG: Huh? I don't know how to swim there.
Me: If u don't, just ask the fishes, the Sea King or the mermaids for directions. They can help u. No, wait! I won't allow u near the mermaids. I'm afraid u'll be attracted to their beauty...hahaha.
CG: Full of rubbish...hahhhaha

I'm a lucky girl. Really lucky :)
