Hot Hot Heat!!

Kuala Lumpur is currently in the middle of a heat wave. Yes, I know that sounds somewhat ironic; Malaysia, a country on the equator with a tropical humid climate has heat waves? But it's true and one is happening right now. Its been averaging around 35 degrees C for over the past week, crazy humidity thats not doing my hair any favours and lightening storms nearly every day... but no rain. Where is the rain?! Never thought I'd hear myself ask that question!

Even the locals are wondering whats going on with the recent weather we've been having out here. If they find it hot, can you imagine how I'm coping?! Aircon on full blast while sitting in skimpy shorts and vest tops, sipping ice cold drinks isn't always enough to stave off the heat. Though saying that, I know that when I get to New Zealand in a little over a week I'll be complaining non stop about how cold it is and how I wish I was in hot Malaysia sweating away. Some people are never happy.
