Abit of a bore ...



Blame it on the heat (we always have to blame it on something other than ourselves!), but work on that mini scrapbook album is coming along veeeerrrrrryyyyy, slowly ... am begining to wonder at the rate am going i'd probably have nothing scrap-related to post on this blog!!

So, speaking about heat ... its been so swelteringly warm lately. The humidity doesn't help either. One sweat buckets (ok, so not very pleasant to imagine) even after a nice cool shower ... then again, at the rate the sun's scorching this tiny part of my world, even the water (that's suppose to be cool) is warm! :P

So, not much respite unless one hides in airconditioned room 24/7. Which is impossible because one needs to commute. Get out of house, get into car, get out of car, get into office, get out of office, grab lunch, get back to office ... all that spaces in between the 'gettings' is sheer exposure to the unbearable heat. I got my car tinted to shave off heat and UV rays and still its like a furnace everytime i get into it ... those leather seats don't help either. (Why do they use leather on car-seats in the tropics?!!) If you want to know about bum burns, am a good point of reference ... I should do something about those seats ...

As you can tell, indoor carparks aren't exactly plently in my part of the world. We have space, you see ... loads of it, so multistorey carparks with that shaded relief is only confined to the business district and major shopping malls (which we have only about 2, as i write).

The haze is back too, by the looks of the skies. Its no wonder my sinus is acting up ... (the inconveniences of a sensitive nose :P). I just hope its not here to stay ... we had haze so dire once even rooms indoors looked smokey and you couldn't see beyond 100m.

And how does the heat and haze affect my scrap? In every way!! It just dries up all that creative juices and energy ... leaving one rather lethargic and flat ... abit of a bore, really ... :P

Honestly, i shouldn't be complaining with the sort of catastrophes China and Myanmar are dealing with. I should be glad for the scorching heat that makes all things grow (and wilt) and all is well ... even if there's a tiny storm in the political teacup as i write ...

No catastrophe there, just a little trifle.
