The winter is ending

The class has started. Although the class runs fortnightly, it surely keeps me occupied. But I am not going to talk about that, it is no fun...hahahhaha... let us talk about the winter.

I am sure, you must wondering whether there is snow in the winter. Sorry to disappoint you (and with my pleasure of cause), there is NO snow in winter, in Brisbane...normally. Haa.. but this year the climate changed a little. It was colder than before (according to Brisbane people, we will never argue on that....bbrrrr). So in some rural area, it was snowed, very thin though. The lowest we got is 3 deg. Day time was so short. I spent most of the time hibernating, fighting with my nauseas as well. Truthfully, winter did me no good. I got nose bleed, my working hours became too short. Cant stand how the house smell, because it was so cold outside, you couldnt open the window when you are cooking. So the smell linger in the house. Skins were dry, due to hot water and the heater. Yaya and Atang also suffering from dried skin. Ingat winter nie such a big deal sangat laaa.... so bantai mandi, lepas tu malas sapu losyen, duduk pun dekat dengan heater.... haaa... amik..... But what ever we experienced, we did wonder how are those people in the northen hemiphere can cope in the winter. Climate during summer pun macam winter kat sini.

Nevertheless, this is what we called experience. If we never came here, we would definately will not gain this experience. But I am glad the winter is finally over. And before the winter make way for the colourful spring, it left a trademark last week. The rain came and stayed for the whole week. Alhamdullillah. Filling up Brisbanes' almost dried up dam. But Sunshine Coast got the worst of the weather. Some part of the district were flooded.

Other than coping with the weather, I managed to submit the proposal (and I already received positive response from the committee) and.... I also managed to finish the Deathly Hollows...Ok... I did say that I will not read it until the confinement. But hey... who am I kidding. The book was sitting there on my bedside table, it was so tempting. Before I went crazy, reading and finishing it seemed most sensible thing to do. Besides, I deserved a break. So I finished the book, and felt light headed after hahahhaha... (I dont like how the story end though.... cant believe that harry marrying ginny)

For that I end my story. The winter is going, spring is coming. It is spring cleaning time. So get out your broom and scrub, and go scrub the shower (this is a job for atang....hehehhee...)
