Living on the equator means you do not get seasons. It is simply warm and humid all year round. No seasons also mean no snow. I grew up in Singapore (a little island on the equator) and the only experience I have of snow is what I see in movies or television programs. We don't quite get the white Christmas.

Yesterday, I felt snow.

Even better, I snowboarded. Something I always wanted to try; one more item off the list.

Ten things I learnt from snowboarding:

• Kids are naturally and literally fearless.
• You need waterproof pants.
• You need thick knee pads.
• You need thick butt cushions.
• You cannot ski or snowboard if you have acrophobia.
• Hardest part of snowboarding is getting up.
• Snowboarding is like swimming, u get hungry fast.
• Repeated falling on snow can hurt.
• Slopes are way steeper at the peak.
• You can still perspire like a pig even if it is cold.
