I see some girls baring legs though. I'm like, WOW. and while we're on that, their legs are tanned as well (looks like some people have been at the S-O-L-A-R-I-U-M, tut tut. or ok, maybe really perfected the art of using a self-tanner). Oh well. Nothing that a hot plate of fish & chips and some hot chocolate cannot solve. Not that I've been having these all the time. And even so, I might still not put on weight cos Terence and I pound the pavements like nobody's business every single day. HAHA. who am I kidding. The scales will tell when I return.
And since now I consider myself a sort of authority on cold weather travel, let me recommend that you always buy anti-histamines before departing. When the dryness hits and you're sitting mournfully on the bed scratching your skin off (and urgh, rather morbidly hoping for pain to replace the itch), it'll be too late to hit the chemists at even 5.30pm cos that's when the sun sets here. YES. IMAGINE THAT. I WOULD NOT KNOW HOW TO LIVE IF TERENCE WEREN'T HERE WITH ME. ok, I jest. But really, I was already thinking that Singapore should enjoy European summer hours whereby sunset is at 9pm+, not 7pm+. This is alot worse.
And I was so convinced earlier on just now that the Claratyne wouldn't work on me; that somehow I would be the only exception to the rule- YES, I was really breaking out in freakin crazy & itchy rashes all over. But within a minute, I was healed. HAHA! very very very pleased that I can at least focus all my energies on combating the cold now, without the distraction of nasty little bumps. Oh and slathering top-grade moisturizer all over won't work. I tried.
On a positive note, my face does not shine by mid-day anymore. Haha... but in all seriousness, I am having quite a good time here despite shopping being not too great cos it's winter and: 1. I refuse to peel off my layers of clothing to try something on unless it's really to-die-for 2. The colours are really sombre (bought 6 articles of clothing so far; 5 are black, 1 is purple). But it's really a different experience from Singapore. I love just plopping myself down on the grass whenever I see a sizeable patch. Haha.. It's relaxing here. People don't look so tense, are not so self-conscious.
Ok, till then. See you soon. Melissa, Carissa and Paulineissa (HAHAHA. Sorry, I just have been wanting to do that since forever), I miss you guys!
