I was so happy to see the engulfing dark clouds this morning....until it rained for just less than 5 minutes?! It has only rained once from after Christmas till up to just now. Well, at least that's in the state I stay. The time it rained back then was exactly like just now - less than 5 minutes? These kinds of rains only make it even hotter & the mosquitoes are having a party throughout the nights@#%$ If it was 5 minutes downpour then that's not too bad but it was less than the regular spray hose? ArgghhI hope the weather changes soon....

ha ha ha ha... it is that hot eh? I never really noticed the weather that much. In the mornings, when I leave home, it is still cool and comfortable. When I get to the office, it is on an air-conditioned bus. When I get home, it is in an air-conditioned bus as well. And when I reach home, it is in the evenings where the day is cooler also. And the nights are so windy, I have to close the door to keep the wind out! So, never really feel the full force of the heat much during the day.

Yeah, now that I remember where you are from. Penang is usually hot at this time of the year. A clear difference compared to Singapore. Well, you can try putting some lemon grass oils in the room. Or apply some on your clothes or body if you don't mind the smell. They are very good mosquito repellents and are natural. So no worries about chemicals or anything like that. Also, try to find the source of the mosquitoes. Pour some of that lemon grass oilment in and it may remove the problem a little as well. Try the paperplate and oil method. It really works wonders in removing them irritating mosquitoes.

Yeah, Penang is always hot this time of the year but with so little rain, that's really killing. Hmm, lemon grass method, maybe will try that out, haha

Well, we live in an apartment on the 9th floor & we don't usually switch on the fan as it has always been windy but nowadays it's so hot & also the mosquitoes are getting smarter - they use the liftEven with the fan switched on, they attack us in the night & mind you - ON THE FACE as well, such audacity!@%#$

I could send you some of our snow That might cool yu down a bit. Can't help thinking that if it's that hot at yours we might be in for a hot summer here too so please do me a favour - kill off as many of those moquitos as you can. I can put up with the heat but not with them!

Hahaha.. I agree with you that its so hot nowadays and the dry spell is still going on. Even the grass at graveyard was burning the other day. Moreover, there's haze because of forest burning from our neighbours and it's giving me headache. ARGH!!

Oh ya, the graveyard dried grass on fire. I think I saw that before but can't remember when already. Yes, the haze is terrible as it makes my throat dry when I wake up in the morning due to irresponsible people who love open burning
