Glenelg Again

Since we've went to Glenelg when it was hot, now we've experienced it when it was freakin' blistering cold! This was a few weeks back, before our classes started. It was Austrlia day, so got lots of ang mohs going about with Australian flags and singing some patriotic songs. Wah but it was sooo unbelivingly cold!!! It was the wind, really. When it blows you just shrink... We were supposed to see a comet when the sun sets, but there were too many clouds. So after dark, we spent our time trying to find a warm place to hide and walking on the pier. The winds were so strong, it was like we were gonna get blown off the pier. And there were a bunch of people fishing for crabs. Crabbing, they call it.

The beach was too windy and the sand was flying all over the place. So we sat on the grass facing the beach. Bad idea 'cos we still got sand all over and into our food anyway. Not to mention that it was so cold. Somemore there were ang moh guys going about shirtless in board shorts singing some Aussie patriotic songs. Not to be outdone, Jebbrine and I started singing "Negaraku".... I think the cold must have gotten to us...

Don't be decieved. Despite the sun, it was very very cold...

The wind was so strong, even the seagulls flew senget.

This here is a blue crab ('cos it's blue??). The guy in this pic is a 10th year student whose family was originally from Malaysia. Lots of Malaysian Chinese here, and most of the younger generation are born in Australia. Apparently these crabs come out at night, when the sea is all cold and rough. So if you want some decent crab meat, come crabbing at night. Provided you don't freeze to death and get blown off the pier la.

The best hot chocolate I've ever tasted!
