Whether Weather

For the past 2 weeks or so...the sun has been scorching my fragile skin everytime i walk out from my apartment. I've got quite a decent tan since then, thanks to that. Most of the people here enjoyed the sun, as they don't get much of it like what we used to back home. I would welcome a nice tan too but not the extreme heat.

Since yesterday, the weather has turned bad...or rather different, I'd say. It's chilly again. The temperature dropped from 30 over to now which is about slightly above 20. In the morning, its about 22degrees. With the cold wind blowing right at your face...it's a lil cold for a summer's day. Grey clouds are hanging above the sky right now...but no rain just yet. I have my umbrella with me today. Hope I don't have to use it.

The other day when I was walking by the Post Office. I saw a Chinese couple on a bicycle with their young daughter. As they cycle pass me, the daugther pointed at me and said to her dad in Mandarin, 'Papa look! Chinese people!'. I was rather surprised...its not a rare thing to see chinese on the streets...i see them all the time...but why such commotion? I guess it's not just the natives here who thinks we're somewhat 'different'.

I found another chinese restaurant last night. This is the 6th chinese restaurant I've been to here...and the best so far. Though it's not as good as those back home, but it'll do...for now. A least something different...than the usual pastas and pizzas. There's a Indian shop which sells Tandoori too...but they dont do eat-in. Maybe someday I'll go get something for a take-away. Life is just so dull without variety.
