The average temperature that i am withstanding outside is like a freaking -4 degrees C.

Caught a conversation between two exchange students at the shuttle bus stop today.
One of them was saying how she really feel for all the students from tropical countries.. and she named a few which i barely rmbr except for Hong Kong. the other person then added something about never getting to experience this transition at our home countries. and yes, Ms. A then suddenly thought of MY sunny island. she said "oh yes, and SINGAPORE!" or maybe it was 'especially Singapore.' i was frozen on the spot trying not to move lest the wind gets into the jacket. Ms. A then said that for her she's quite used to it so she just needed to decide whether "it's cold" so "i need to wear a cap." yeah. for poor sunny islanders we need to check the weather forecast like ten times a day just to see if we should wrap ourselves up like a penguin before we step out of the room.

it is THAT bad. Last night it was -4 degrees C too, but msn weather forecast predicted it felt like -10. and our dearest Mabel and Jackson actually ate ice-cream with gloves on. this is the coldest i've experienced and just when i thought i can survive this, Jackson met Mr. Vomit today and that Korean was telling him that it's going to get EVEN colder. like thanks. now all my optimism got blown away with the cold wind.

lucky for us the weather is going to be slightly warmer for the next few days. i think i'm going to stay in this weekend.
