Winter's Coming!

It's gotten extremely cold (relatively) over the last few days. Suddenly the unwanted heat in the afternoon (ugh, especially with the sweeping, dust-carrying wind) really seems like something of the past, and depending on who you are, you may miss it, ... or not. ;) - anyway, I have found myself having to now wear jeans (more on this later), and also a long sleeve tshirt under whatever I wear just to stay warm.

I also got myself an electric blanket, though I'm contemplating on what ceramic heater to buy - I am not sure which one to buy, any recommendations? The price of heaters can really be expensive, I wonder why. Okay, so I don't have to use heaters in Malaysia, and airconditioners are not exactly cheap, but are heaters really that expensive? (I see an average of 60 AUD for table top ones, that are ceramic - think the heating filaments ones are much cheaper, but I believe filament ones are easily gone, according to hearsay).

Anyway, about the topic of jeans. I happen to dislike wearing jeans a lot. In fact, I have barely any pairs of jeans in my wardrobe (if that word is appropriate for what I have in my room!), perhaps because I love my khakis so much more :P - I dunno, it's just this thing I have with jeans and the flatty pockets that come with them. The lack of pocket real estate (read: space) is a real downer for me. Still though, the "tightness" (relatively, compared to a cloth-made pair of pants) is really good for "insulation" from the cold outside, so... I'll let myself go for this. (YES!)

In addition, in light of not having Heat and Mass Transport Processes 1 lecture tomorrow at 9am, meaning my first class is 11am, I have vowed to clean up my room! Yes, folks, my super messy room is about to be cleaned up (then finally I can invite guests over to my room, subject to my housemate's approval though ahahahha). Yipeeeee! :D (now that was a tough thing to say.)

So, to all of you who love cold, good on ya :P
For the rest of the hotttt people (such as myself, no pun intended hehe), we will be minding our thumbs waiting for the next change in season.

Until next time!
