IT IS HOOOTTTTTTT HERE

Mak oi..panasnya kat sini! Oh my God it is hot here in the middle east. The land of the deserts and camel and the extra closer sun. At least that's what I think. The BBC weather check says the highest temperature is 39C and the lowest is 24C. I thought I saw it reaching 44C the other day.

Since everything is in white, everything glares under the sun. I squint and frown when I go out under the hot sun. I broke my Gucci shades. Damn!

It is so hot, even the water tap is hot. The heater is not on, mind you. I try to take shower preferbally before 7:30 in the morning. Any later the water will be too hot, almost to the point of scalding.

I also try to avoid doing big business in the afternoon, for the hot water, ouch, is a real pain in the ass, I must say. And when you flush down. you can actually feel the warm sensation on your bum.

Washing dishes at noon is also avoided. I usually wash the easier ones and use that scrub thing with a handle. Ouch! Ouch my hand!

During winter, I sometime save my ablution because it was freezing and I am too lazy to go through the freezing weather. And now again I try not to expel any intestinal gas through the anus.

Thank Goodness for the ceramic tiles, at least that's cooling. I cursed the ceramic tiles during winter. Oh I foresee love hate relationship with them tiles.

And they say, the worst is yet to come. During full blown summer, they say lah kan, they would usually collect water at night for it to cool down so that it is possible to take bath the next day. Oh dear.

But all these heat will not stop me from going out I suppose, for tomorrow I plan to go camping overnight at Al-KhOr beach. Depending on the weather of course, otherwise it will be a mere night picnic.

:-D
