Co..Co..Cold

Before I went to sleep last night, I decided to leave the window slightly ajar so as to sleep comfortably with a nice cool breeze, ensuring that the room doesn't turn too stuffy. Well it backfired, as temperatures dipped to around 11 degrees in the early hours, and I was so cold that I couldnt sleep anymore.

And as of tonight, temperatures at new territories is ranging around 8 degrees. I thought there was maybe some kind of misprint on the observatory website, so I went out with my shorts and slippers to test water. I shouldn't have. Water turned to ice.

I kinda under-estimated the weather in HK. You see the last time I came to HK it was during winter, and temperatures averaged around 17 degrees. But it's only autumn here now, and it's hitting below 10 degrees. My wardrobe doesn't seem to be able to withstand this temperature, yet with less than 3 weeks to departure I'm a little reluctant to buy some warmer clothes. I guess in some sense I will probably be staying indoors much for the next couple of weeks rushing to meet my deadlines, but the problem is my open-sea facing room is freezing as well, despite all windows and doors shut.

It's times like this where I miss sunny Singapore. Then again, the grass is always greener on the other side, and when I'm back home, I'm sure to complain its too hot.
