Melting Moments

aahhh...
while i'm doing this, i'm only moments away after the internet streams on at home *yay!*

So our fornightly activity went well. We only reach home at 5 in the morning after sending off few friends who joined us. Made yummy chilli crabs last night. Spoke (or type, rather) too soon! Dear Lufee and Grace just asked if they can join us crabbing this weekend. Now I can't say it's a fortnightly activity cause we've agreed to bring Sharm n Raelene for the next weekend!

It's melting hot here. Today's our 15th day of over 35 degrees temperature. Crazy! This Wednesday I'll be running the workshop/seminar to the refugees. The weather forecast said temperature will cool down by Tuesday. I sure hope so!

My boo has been having this bad stomach-ache for few days now. I hope it goes away soon. Sylvia finally came around after nearly a week away. It's too hot even for her.

MY 10 ways to surviving heat this summer!
1) Keep frozen water bottles/fruit boxes/drinks in your freezer - before leaving home, wrap them with hand towels. A 750ml bottle will supply you with icy cold water til after work!
2) Close blinds and windows - to keep heat wave from entering homes/rooms.
3) Wear thin clothings - bare skin when in contact with sun can do more damage.
4) Avoid blasting air condition when you're in the car if you frequently go in and out of it. The sudden temperature change can result to major headaches.
5) Drink, drink, drink. Always, always, always keep a bottle with you at all times. I even keep a frozen one closeby at home!
6) We often dine out or buy take-aways. Standing near the stove in this weather is not a way to keep the heat out from the home!
7) I make roasts and grills more often.
8) Keep indoors. Though this may not be a good idea if you're like me, indoors means shopping malls! Indoors as in home/office/uni is fine. hehe!
9) Go crabbing! Or fishing! Where else to be when you can't sleep! I find it harder to sleep-in (or just sleep for that matter!) in this weather. The beach winds are much much better!
10) Let's head to the beach!

Now for the big day. Those coming from different states/countries, we may need to get your details and confirmation to have your accomodation booked and trasportation ready. Dear Papa has called few days ago ranting about it in my ears.

Sigh.

At the moment, I feel so un-motivated to do this.
