winter di Wellington

yes, it is winter dah nie ..selalu sejuk sampai ke tulang dah nie ..especially the last one week ..since that horrible winter storm a week ago ...gaya aku cakap nie as if aku tak pernah dok masa winter kat overseas kata kekawan aku ...memang aku bertahun dok UK ...tapi aku rasa zaman Newcastle aku tu tak le sesejuk winter Welly nie ...the main factor yang buat sejuk kematu tu ialah the wind ...at Newcastle takde angin sehebat southerlies nie ...so, sejuk2 gitu ajer ...here, dah le sejuk ..tambah lagi ngan angin ...kalau northerlies take lagi ...southerlies membawa angin sejuk from the Antartics ..sampai ke Welly jadi kesejukan melampau ....tambah pulak rumah2 kat Welly nie bukan cam rumah2 kat UK yang mana most houses have double glazing ...so sejuk macam mana pun kat luar, dalam rumah is hot and warm and most importantly dry ..kat Welly, most rumah takde double glazing pun ...and it tend to be lembab ....and susah nak dipanaskan ...due to the material used for building rumah jugak ...sini byk rumah kayu ....sebab keadaan nya utk sesuai nya kawasan kerap gempa bumi ...and I was told masa gi Asthma Roadshow tu utk pakai berlapis2 dlm rumah ...and get a humidifier kalau rumah tu potensi lembap ...to dry the air ...i am lucky, my rumah kontena nie dry and my heater is working very nicely ....coz aku compared ngan rumah2 kawan kawan aku yang lain ...yg sejuk mcm ice-box pun ada ...tapi so far, rumah aku nie paling panas huhuhu ...

Botanical Garden - pokok hampir togel; jgn tertipu ..nampak pnas dan cerah, tapi sejuk jugak tu!

as a result of these extreme cold weather last week, aku missed Wellington LUX festival ...bukan sabun LUX ok ...LUX festival ni is a light festival ...dorang buat showcase lampu warna warni yang menarik di sekitar city ...sempena solstis musim sejuk ...tapi none of us jadi keluar coz last friday memang ribut kuat, plus suhu as low as 4 degrees ...aku awal2 dah surrender and bagitau dorang I am staying in ....so semua tak gi kuar rumah ...

was very disappointed coz couldnt see the display myself due to the weather ...tapi tengok gambar2 memang awesome ...even kekawan aku yang takde kat Welly pun dok email kata I should go coz show memang spectacular ...so perhaps, next year, and hopefully the weather will be better!!!

sebab sejuk kan, lately makanan ruji aku pun bertukar ...now for dinner memang akan makan sup ajer ...untuk panaskan badan ...my fav are sup tomyam, sup jagung and ayam, and sup sayur ...makan ngan nasi panas ....lega tak terhingga hahahaha ....so actually, i cannot wait to get home ni ..aku tahu le jerebu and all that, but i just have this urge to get out from this winter weather ....i need some warmth ...winter weather nie gloomy and buat aku melancholy jer hahaha ...hilang keceriaan aku tau!!! even now, aku nie macam popiah jer as i am typing this posting ...macam popiah coz bergulung2 dalam duvet hahaha

that's all folks, popiah nak tengok DVD nie ...happy weekend semua ...

p/s well done to bang long kiter! semoga sukses ...aku doakan dari kejauhan ....
