Being born and brought up in a country of hot climate all year round, I am not too keen about sunny hot days. I had never understood why some people love sitting outside the restaurants or cafeteria in a hot day. And I certainly find it weird for those who love sun-bathing under the big hot sun.Having living in this country that is cold for at least half of the year and where it gets dark at 2pm during the winter time for three years, I finally began to appreciate the sun or to be precise summer time. One obvious thing is how everyone looks happy and energetic. Many like to take time off from work to travel around or just simply stay at their summer house with their family.
Unlike the majority, I do not do too much during summer. In fact I work more during summer. It does make me feel better when I step out of the building to head home past 9pm and the sky is still bright. It may sound pathetic to hear that I still have to work like a rat when many are lying at the beach or sitting at the garden sipping coffee, but I am still able to have my fun time. I like to get ice-cream from a nearby shop at the hospital with my coworkers and chill out during our "coffee" break. Oh yeah, I love barbecuing during summer too. I guess this is one of the few local interests I picked up after I came here. I still can't believe that I am organizing a bbq for the lab next week when I am already struggling to complete my work.
Well, all work and no play makes the already boring Jade a super dull girl. Enjoy your summer.
