The Heat and Rain

The one thing that we are still trying to cope with is the weather in Singapore. You would think the weather in Penang and KL would prepare me for this. You would think as a full bred Asian, I would want every part of me to soak up the glorious sun and not complain. 

Here's the first lesson about Asians and our weather. We get the sun pretty much all year round. When you get one thing long enough, you tend to not want it so much.

Another fact about Malaysians; we all drive. This is not because we are a rich nation. We just have to because our public transport is not exactly top notch. So imagine us hopping in and out of our air-con cars to get to places.

Our mode of transportation in Singapore so far has been tough. When you are on a shoestring budget (please refer to earlier post, we are not expats!), you are your own transport. 

My only comfort is that we are living a healthier lifestyle as we are made to walk everywhere. Don't judge us with our umbrellas until you have lived in this heat as long as we have.  

Occasionally, we get a break from the heat. We get torrential downpours instead. 

Now you understand how important this great creation is for us. In Asia, no matter the size of the bag we are carrying, one will still be able to whip out that wondrous gadget to shield us from heat or rain.  

We are not as big a fan when it comes to raincoats. But they are rather cute.
