I said brrrrrr........

I'm seeing far too many of these ugly but damn warm puffa jackets around at the moment (I may or may not own one myself). They are everywhere and why? For some reason this supposedly tropical island that held all my aspirations for a life bathed in sunshine all year round, has turned into a dreary, hazy, bloody freezing ice bucket. When I was advised 10 weeks ago on our arrival that we should really invest in a heater, I arrogantly smirked and dismissed the possibility of that reality here in Honkers. For some reason though, I took her advice and thank the maker - because as we speak, I have the saviour that is that manufactured heat blasting into my tracksuit-clad legs while my good old knee-high uggies deal with my frosted periphery.

I have a message for you Honkers. SORT YOURSELF OUT. Bring back the heat or else.

I understand you very well! Guangzhou isn't south enough either and it have been quite cold for the last month or so. Wearing lot of cloths inside and outside. And sitting infront of my heater as I write this :) I have to say your blog seems really interesting so I'll continue reading!

LOL. Who'd have thunk it??? No need for puffa jackets here. But you know how much I'm longing for one...

Thanks for Rewinding at the Fibro!

The puffa jacket is one of those items that divides nations. You either love or loathe them. I'm the latter, but I promise I won't judge you if you own one (not much anyway). ;)

My friend lives in HK, and they try to come back to Melbourne for summer to avoid the HK cold. I hear Singapore is warm all year round?
Funny, I have a similar blase approach to the weather.
