Just went through the coldest days of my life! In fact, according to the news, last weekend was the coldest winte the city experienced since the last 100 years. The lowest of the temperature was recorded at -35'c. That wasnt all, the wind made it felt even worse with a bone chilling cold of -42'c. There were news reports of some homeless people freezing to death even though the city council tried to round them up as much as possible. Pity them. Cant imagine dying like that.
Couldnt do much then during the past week besides hibernating at home. Couldnt even last 5 minutes outdoors. Ice formed on the windows inside, and walking on the wooden floor felt like walking on ice, even with socks on. Was so bored, I did a little experiment to see how cold it really is. On a slightly warmer day of -20'c, I placed half a glass of water outdoors. Found out it took only 2 hours to fully ice up! Thts how cold it is. So now that the weather is a little kinder, cant wait to go out sight seeing.
My uncle was suggesting that I go back early and settle the documents to migrate over fast. Now Im in a little dilemma. Should I go back early? What on earth am I gonna do if I go back early? Got nothing to do, and jobless. Even if I do apply to migrate fast, what am I gonna do meantime? The application process wont be immediate. May have to wait between 6 months to a year before I get an answer. So far, Ive only secured demonstrating job in campus, but thats not good enough! Plus, the finance department in campus pays at a damn late date. Look for other work in KL? Well, its not easy to find environmentally related jobs in kl. Even if I do find one, going to and fro between home and office. Headache. Sigh
