Cold Outside

May 16th, 2008

I am, for once, not a person to bring an umbrella because it is for losers it’s just a hassle to bring an umbrella around! But today it was raining so heavily and I had to walk 200 metres to the bus stop because I was to catch another bus which I don’t normally take to get to uni earlier, thus, I HAD to use an umbrella, but that doesn’t make any difference because it only kept my head and shoulder dry and the rest of my body soaked wet.

It was cold - probably only about 10 degrees and I think that no one deserves to be outside at this temperature because everyone should be snuggling in bed! Unfair. Bloody unfair I’d say.

But nevermind, I’m all ready for winter!! Bring on winter!

Winter is here, which means SAD is coming too! SAD literally means sad, and also stands for Seasonal Affective Disorder, that is, people aren’t normally depressed show depressive symptoms in winter.

Even cars are SAD at this time of the year.

So if you want to do charity, please send some chocolate and coffee my way and I’ll be a happy llama during winter!! Anyone? Click ‘C O N T A C T M E’ on the side bar to email me for my address. *ahem*

It is the disaster season, so please lend a helping hand wherever you can. Hundred thousands have died while you comfortably plant your butt in the chair sipping coffee and read this blog. Or comfortably snuggle in bed, munching on your chocolate muffin.

I hate (note: hate is a very strong word) the Myanmar / Burma junta with passion but those people who were hit by the Cyclone Nargis are innocent. Well, at least most of them anyway. Hundred thousands have died and they are throwing people into the river, so I’m just guessing another tenth of thousands will die due to lack of sanitation, food, clean water and medical aid.

I have personally donated AUD50, how much are you willing to donate? I am only a student and I only earn AUD120 a month, and write on average one $5 post every two days. For the Australians, you can go to World Vision’s site and donate, for the others, please find info from your local organisations.

So, if you’re earning at least AUD1000, and you’re donating 50 cents, will you please go die? I challenge you give a bit more!

    SAD is not only prevalent in winter wor…in Malaysia, I think it’s available all year round, given that Malaysians don’t experience 4 seasons.

    I’m questioning this though..

    With all the funds pouring it, does it go to the junta or actually helping the people?

    This month is a bad month, 2 big disasters in such a short period of time.
