Climate change?!

Weather in Melbourne is pretty hard to predict. Even though it is forecasted to be 36 degrees Celsius in the day, but when a gush of strong wind comes... you still have to pull a jacket on, or hide in a building OR behind the building (like what I usually do).

People describe Melbourne's weather like a woman. You know, fast in changing decisions, and have sever mood swings in a day. Weather here could be sunny in the morning, heavy downpour, then sunny again. And the wind here comes with or without the rain. Normally in Malaysia, when there's a strong wind, we could expect it's going to rain in a bit, but here... strong wind all day long... yet there is not a single drip from the sky. Weird huh...

One thing I would take it as a fact here is that, when you spotted a fly in the morning, that day will be a sunny day for sure! When you don't see a fly during the day even though it is sunny, remember to take an umbrella out. Just to be safe... and dry. As I'm typing now... Here comes a fly at the edge of my lappie. Gahhh...



This is a good website to check the weather forecast: http://www.bom.gov.au/vic/forecasts/melbourne.shtml
There's also ratings for Fire Danger, & UV rays.

Oh and by the way, sunscreen is a must here. I'm not too sure why, but the ozone layer at NZ n OZ is the thinnest, skin cancer here is really common. So guys, remember to get your sunscreen ready when you are at NZ or OZ, put a layer of zinc would help most!!! and REMEMBER to put it at your ears too!!!

Deck Painting Day

Painted the outer sides of the deck few days back.
Decided to paint the rest of it today. Since it's sunny...
