I will admit sometimes the australian summer is just scorching.. it's really hot, but you know it's really not that bad when u really really think about it. You just need to know how to deal with it.. Like lets try to focus and think of the good points about summer and try to forget a bit about the heat.
1. Don't you rkn daylight savings is an awesome thing? it means theres more daylight to be enjoyed with friends going out. It doesn't get too dark too soon and i don't know ive yet to meet someone who has gone 'crap i hate this light i wish it was dark at 5pm'. It open windows and doors i think.
2. Isn't summer fashion awesome? isn't it great waking up and it's not scorching.. but relatively warm so it allows you to go out with just a singlet/teeshirt and some shorts and not bother about a jumper ^^. Like don't you hate those days when you know it's going to be hot but like it's soo cold to go out without bringing more layers and then ur like .. shivers.. this crappy jumper is soo anoying to carry..
3. Entertaiment in summer is awesome! Sports! (tennis ^^), the best movies come out over the summer, shopping! christimas and boxing day is awesome then theres also chinese new year and that means money because we're asian and then also celebrations in the city for NEW YEARS and stuff and that means pretty fireworks! Theres just soo much to do over the summer! Additionally when it's too hot to do anything watch TV! i know a lot of you asians out there has given up on tv and don't touch it because for some reason it doesn't appeal as much as internet tv or whatever but the best shows come out in summer!! and summer tv is awesome!! im pretty sure they use the Australian Open (Tennis) to advertise like Heroes and Greys Antomy and Desperate housewifes and all the other cool ameican imports we get.
4. It's also a time to work extra hours save up a bit more, summer jobs are awesome, if you already have a job you can just work more and get more money =) yay for that!
5. Yes i'll agree with david UV rays is disgusting and can kill you but sunscreen isn't all so bad you know. it acts as a skin moisturiser (okay maybe that just applies to me since i have dry skin =.=)
6. Don't you find when hanging out in the summer and yes sometimes its uncomfortable and the heat is on and it's disgusting .. hmm... it's relaxing in a way? i mean hanging out with ur friends in the summer after exams, no commitments no nothing it's just seems soo carefree you have nothing to worry about and yes it may become really boring after but i still love it haha.
Hmm i suppose the summer heat never really bothered me soo much as like i always looked at it like it was just a season to hang and chill, relax and unwind, and although uncomfortable a lot of the times, im pretty sure your most happiest memories are made during that short 3 months of scorching heat.
ANYWAYSSS after saying all that i will add to davids fustration to the heat (i know im just going against summer now)
