Hubby has very thick skin (and fat akin to whale blubber), so anything above 0C is tolerable to him in T-shirts, Bermuda shorts and strappy sandals. Thing is, as we walk out as a family, with me and Sam all nicely bundled up & lo-behold hubby in T-shirt & Bermuda, naturally people cocked an eyebrow. In other countries, that is about all the reaction you'll get.
Here we have so many people stopping us on our tracks and asking “你不冷吗?”(Aren’t you cold?). After being asked umpteenth times; hubby finally had it. The next day as we were dressing up to leave, he was with a jacket and long pants. I asked if he is finally feeling the chill. He said “No, I just want to stop people from asking me 你不冷吗?"

About Me
- Fern
- An "aspiring" writer who's stuck in a wrong career but had no guts to make the jump to the literature world because: 1. the money is good (though it's not fantastic, I'm not going to deny that it's good...) 2. have serious inferiority complex in own writing skills (which is definitely a no-go for an aspiring writer isn't it...) So will just have to constraint literary ambition to blog writing & let the aspiration go through a natural expiration
