Summer HeatThe weather here in Queensland has been extremely hot lately, it can reach up to 39 degrees in the day and it's not the kind of warm we get in Singapore, the kind of warm just sting the skin..like you are in a sauna but just that you simply cant sweat it out.
Accordingly to the news, it's all due to climate change. and it is about 20 degrees higher in some places of Australia for this time of the year.
Some days I can even feel dizzy because of the heat esp mid day..I cant switch on the air conditioner whole day too, cos of the high bills and its very drying on my skin too.
Hot also cannot, air con also cannot..dilemma
(Our couple flip flops..I need to buy a Size 7! The heat must have made my feet expand by another size...)
Just when the weather reports come and say there will be a thunderstorm coming, I was so happy about it cos finally can get some humidity and also keep down the smell of cow manure (they use it as fertiliser and the wind carries the smell everywhere.yucks).But the thunderstorm came and also took the electricity away. There's been 2 power trips so far, the latter being worse as it lasts 4 hours and during the warmest time of the day. I drank 2 L of ice cold water today just to combat the heat..haha
And now, icy soft drink is now our latest best friend,we even bought 5 flavours (which mean 5 boxes..a bit crazy..but its on offer haha) of it. Kirks is like the Yeos here. Nowadays when we go to the supermarket, there are a lot of people buying crates of Cokes and other soft drinks, the kind of sight when we can only see during CNY.
And temperatures are forecast to go even higher, I think I would be suffering from heat stroke very soon..haha
Going western...and I got a burn on my face while frying that drumstick..heng never hui rong.
Breakfast served on some days too..very hao ming..eat until fat qu..haha..
Gavin in his new job..Compression Engineer at Arrow Energy..a much happier man at his new job..getting his own company 4 wheel drive soon..
The place we staying now..look very much the kind that need a serious renovation. But can tell you..this is one of the better ones out here le..there are much worse..lol..
See my eyes so puffy..I never have yan dai in my life b4 de leh..sianz (and most of the pics I keep wearing this dress..cos most other clothes are with the house removalists..I should have brought more clothes along)
back track a bit ..There's a Brisbane Festival the weekend before we head back to Dalby..Gavin even got new specs made..and I heng heng got the free sunglasses (worth$150) leh..cos we use the coupon..
The car was covered in sand too..so we got a car wash on the way back..and the car wash owners really know how to earn money..there's even a 'sandstorm special'. It's only $5 for a maxi wash (usual price is 13.90 per wash)..but cheap things don come so easily de..the queue was so long..we practically sat inside the car for 45 mins for our turn..I even had the chance to take a little nap while waiting..lol
