Freezing my brains off...
Are the people here weird or is it just me? Just the other day, the temperature was testing the thickness of my skin. The morning air was freezing and almost had my nose numb after long exposures. There wasn't even wind, just plain cold. Reminded me of my winter episodes in Beijing. So that morning, I took great care to dress properly so that I won't shrivel up and die.
A spagetthi strap, a shirt and a black long sleeved blouse. And a huge waterproof jacket to top it all. I was wearing jeans and even wore boots. Snuggling in the comfort of my warm clothes, I bravely embarked upon the journey to uni.
As I walked down the main road, I was amazed by the people's lackadaisical attitude towards warming themselves up. Most of the Australians were dressed in shorts and sleeveless shirts. The men wore Tees and jeans. Okay....maybe these people have adapted to the drastic weather. No big deal. But as I continued walking, I saw asian students dressed the same way too. The girls were wearing only long sleeved blouses and skirts. No jackets. No jeans. I was shocked.
I started to freak out, thinking that I must be crazy to think that it was cold. Or has my skin become dysfunctional?People must have thought that I was a sua-ku, wrapped up like a popiah on such a mild weather. It must be time for me to give the doctor a buzz.
A few days after that, the weather lighten up and the sun blessed us with its glory. And with minimal clothings, I jogged down to the bus stop. Then strange sights began to penetrate my vision. I see people dressed up in the thickest clothing possible. Heavy coats, pants, shoes, scarves......
People here sure are confusing.
