Seasonal Change
I think autumn is finally here! Almost 3 weeks late, but better late than never. Temperatures averaged around 24 to 25 degrees today, and I know some may say it's not THAT cold, but you can't really blame me for exclaiming the arrival of autumn as temperatures have been ranging somewhere between 32 to even 36 degrees since arrival.
For the first time here, the outside of a building was cooler than the inside. The sky turned darker earlier too, and it kinda reminded me of the typhoon a few weeks back. No typhoon this time, not even rain. Having settled down already, it suddenly felt like I was in a different place all over again.
I kinda like cold weathers, something different from home, but there's one huge problem. As Elaine, Bryan and I realised yesterday, we tend to eat much more when we're feeling cold. Much, much more.
We were stuck in a horrible downpour at Mongkok, but that didn't stop us from going on a feast escapade. We always saw Mongkok as the place to shop, especially for our sports stuff. In fact, the bulk of my purchases were made in Mongkok. But somehow or rather, there was not much shopping yesterday. Instead, we braved through the strong winds and rain to actually try new kinds of food. We had like super delicious deep fried and bbq sotong from the roadside stall, we had nice and cooling 'guai ling gao', we tried some cold noodles in a small bag which was soooo good, and we rounded it up by eating warm and yummy 'dou jiang you tiao'. Sinful.
To add to the troubles, I ran for almost an hour and a half today, and I realised I was literally not sweating at all, probably due to the cold weather. Oh dear, this is not good.
