Roasting in the Heat
Have you ever wonder what it feels like to be sitting in an oven? Nothing being able to run away or avoid the crazy heat and humidity over here has driven many over their patience level. People need to cool down a little, and I know I definitely am one of them. IT IS SO BLOODY HOT!!! I have been awaken by the heat in the mornings, sweating like a pig. In the evenings, the temperature hardly changes. Sometimes it still remains as hot as day that I find difficulty in sleeping. Ahh… summer. Though I am from a warm country with year-long tropical climate, but this IS unbearable. At least at home, it is nice and cool, and sometimes a little nippy in the early mornings. The "mamak" culture is a big hit solely because we can’t be as crazy as the French and Italians to sit outside enjoying drinks during the day, but we ca do that in the cool of the night!
So, I guess it is by keeping one occupied as much as possible. This might help in trying to forget about it heat. However, there wasn’t much happening over here since I last blogged. Yeah, there was movie night at the Tuzi home. We watched DVDs with the kids, enjoying "Veggie tales," and "Angel Wars." We had a great home-cooked American Italian dinner of spaghetti, meatballs, salad, and for dessert, Tiramisu! I was singing my meatball song while I was dishing out my share of pasta and meatballs… "On top of spaghetti all covered with cheese; I lost my poor meatball, when somebody sneezed! … …"
I got to teach at Ginza for E.V. on Saturday. Yeah, some income. Anyways, the great part about teaching is that I was able to talk to some really interesting people like super businessmen and even an instructor of microbiology who asked my opinion about the Yasukuni Shrine problem! However, the best part of my Saturday was that going to the school in Ginza, I found a shop that sold tonnes of bunny stuff , generally in the traditional Japanese taste. PERFECT! I got myself some chopsticks according to the seasons. I wanted to get some chopstick rests too, but the were a little costly. After my day at the school was over, I just took a nice stroll (despite the heat) to the station, walking through the famous sights of Ginza.
However, I think it is best to describe the last few days that it was really hot. It gave me a splitting headache this morning as I traveled to church and in lasted the entire day! Man! That was a pain. I came back and tried to sleep it off as I was out of aspirins. When will the heat go away?
