The light drizzle last nite simmered down the temperatures over the past few days somewhat...bringing a temporary relief to the summer heat...it has become so overbearing to such a stage that i literally wake up with my bedsheet wet almost every morning...YES!! I wet my bed!! with my soaking sweat...boy it's damn hot...and our room dunno why no ventilation also...fan on full blast...windows open big big still damn bloody hot every nite...but at least it is a sign summer is here to stay...no more shivering days at sky pond!!
