23rd june 2007.Day seventy one.
winter's officially here. and hell, its going to stay here till late september. three whole months of cold rains and thunderstorms. three whole months of not being able to go online as usual since during a thnderstorm you have power cuts. dammit. i hate perth's winter.
think about it. what's winter without the snow and all. even if it means freezing your butt off because of snow. i'll like to see snow for once in my lifetime. but no. perth doesnt have winter. it's just rains and thunderstorms everyday. you didnt read wrong. its EVERYDAY. other than the cold rains which reaches a low 5 degrees out there which i cant imagine myself walking home in such a situation. (i think i'll just freeze out in the cold)
there is also hail storms (of which i have witness one today in the afternoon). not kidding, it was all sunny after the clouds moved off somewhere. then it happened. it sounded like someone was knocking over your roof. but merely, it was icecubes that fell from the sky. if you think about it. it was as though heaven aboutu had a large refrigerator that made icecubes and like popcorn, everthing just exploded out and fell unto earth. haha;D but yeah, hail storms are nice to see, because its like snow, just that it isnt white at all. (though it's not nice if youre caught in one) i think its painful. WAIT, it IS painful, dammit.
i went grocery shopping this morning with my aunt and grandma. i dont think perth people are used to seeing students studying while waiting for someone. well, it's very much a common sight in spore when you see students studying and doing homework be it on the trains or buses. i was waiting for them to finish up grocery shopping, we went different ways. i bought my shopping already, so i waited for them at a bench ... and i took out a my economics book to study. wow. you get stares all over. the boy pushing the trolleys passed by me three times. one family sat beside me after they bought icecream or their kids. two cute girls. another family came after that. two boys. (okay, i wasnt really studying, well i couldnt- not when i had people staring and smiling at you) HAHA.
i spent the rest of my saturday indoors because of the stupid rains. it starts one moment and stop the other. (imagine me rushing in and out of the room turning off and on the internet modem to avoid a surge in current should there be a power cut from the thunderstorms) i looked rather stupid then. did i mention? the rainbows here are really awesome. after the rains, when the sun comes out. the rainbow comes out and stretches all across the sky. its just as amazing as your stars. ps: charmaine, when you come here. remind me to let you watch the stars and rainbow. you wont regret!
