Welcome

Life is full of colours. Sometimes it is so bright that we beam with joy from east to west. Or it can be so mundane that when we colour Mr. Sun yellow, we forget to don on sunglasses for him and smack a grin on his face. Unfortunately, there are times where experiences can be so dark and cold that it sucks the life out of you.

Colourful moments are what make our stay here on Earth worthwhile. It is so refreshingly vibrant that you can almost feel a warm embrace in the blizzard cold and taste the rainbow in the night.

The two of us welcome you to our blog as we share with you the different hues of life from our perception and hope that in doing so, you too will share with us your thoughts and experiences.

Sincerely,



I can't help but be British right now

Sunday, March 7, 2010
Let's be British and talk about the weather for a change. For the past couple of weeks, and without fail, i've been complaining talking about the weather. In Singapore, during the day, the weather is so scorching hot that I don't even want to leave my room. During the night, it gets really warm that I perspire in my sleep, and eventually I end up using the air-con.  In Shanghai, China my friend (Usha) told me the weather is really really cold!







In Melbourne, Muhsin told me despite having a weather of 25 degrees celsius, they are also having hailstorms! 



Effects of global warming is in our face ladies and gentlemen. According to my cousin, "it's never too late to save the environment". I hope that's true. For the sake of the people living in Singapore and weathering the scorching Sun, I hope that saying is true.

Update: Not only for the sake of people in Singapore, but also in other countries where heat or cold is unbearable.

Maybe I'm weird, but I like talking about the weather. It's something we can't escape and it seems no one is bothered to learn to why the weather is as it is. I even elected to do climate geography as an elective at university.

Personally, I had the mentality that talking about the weather is mundane and conversationally, boring.

But in the face of all the drastic changes in the climate, (like the monsoon season in Singapore ending sooner than usual and the hot weather plus humidity becoming more unbearable), i think it is high time we start doing something serious about saving the planet.

I'm not being noble nor a do-goody. But it's come to a point where the extreme heat seizes my brain capacity to think sometimes.

I think I need to adopt Arina's "go-green" attitude now :P
