Oxymoron of the day: Wintery summer

Brrr... brrr....
I knew it's gonna be a tad cooler today, but never knew it's gonna be this cold! Menyesal tadi sebelum masuk Bluey Babe, tak masuk balik dalam rumah untuk ambik coat. Konon I thought "Eleehhh... how cold could it be?!"
I forgot this is Adelaide, it is turning into Melbourne, weather-wise.

Is this really summer? :-O  14'C?



The wettest after 45 years.
Eh, bukan..bukan lampin basah walaupun umur dah 45 tahun. Instead, ni pasal perubahan mendadak last week. Hujan renyai-renyai dari pagi smpi 24jam, so it was officially the wettest day in 45 years, since 1969.


Imagine la... this year dah la siap buat rekod baru, Adelaide punya heatwaves sampai 14 hari. Sampai aku berkampung satu family tido kat ofis beberapa kali. Pokok kesum aku yang subur menghijau malar segar pun terus layu di tasik madu, termasuk la kesum yang Najwa bagi -_- Tu kira dah pindah ke bawah shades tu, siap dengan air bertakung. Agaknya air tu pun jadi panas kot.


Maybe lepas ni aku kena tanam pokok ketum pulak la. Senang nak supply ketum kat Queen of Istana Hinggap, untuk buat air ketum (nescafe susu) yang menjadi igauan Melayu di Adelaide ni.
Well, last Wednesday tu, the temperature shot up to 43'C, punya la menggelupur panas. Basket (basah keti), tak senang duduk, tak senang berdiri semua. 
Tapi the following day, Allah turunkan rahmat hujan. Terus jadi 30'C.

Siap banjir lagi kat few areas.
Dengar citer, kat city pun banjir. Mula la hati aku pun goyang nak pegi ofis last Friday. Tapi aku pegi jugak. Maklumlah... aku kan nak ligan award untuk PhD Student Paling Rajin. Mihmihmih.

Takde la banjir mana pun actually. 
Either Aussies ni memang exaggerate sebab tak pernah tengok banjir (baru surface runoff, dah kecoh kata banjir)...
Or maybe time aku lalu tu (10.30am), dah surut sikit. Tapi gambar kat South Terrace ni memang buat aku garu kepala jugak la.

Summer is still here, at least until the end of this month. But, my.. I am glad (syukur, Alhamdulillah).
So, ada chance la birthday aku next week tak rimas sebab panas sangat.
Speaking of my birthday,  ada budak tu (Lil Adam) dah ketaq plan nak beli itu ini, nak buat itu ini. Hahaha. 
"Memang perangai mama sebijik," kata MrHubby.
Ye la... lagi sebulan nak birthday anak, aku dah kalut pikir macam-macam. In fact, masa Lil Adam dulu, beberapa bulan sebelum tu aku dah berangan. Poyo!
