The Nights Are Getting Colder

No, not that I'm lonelier, but the long-delayed monsoon season is finally here.

2005 has got to rate as one of the hottest years ever. There have been countless mornings where I woke up in my own sweat. I thought to myself, "This was not the place I came to a year ago." When I first came to this small town last year, it was a very cool place due to the rolling hills and palm oil plantations all around us. But the first half of 2005 proved me wrong.

However, the past week has seen huge improvements. I stopped waking up in a wet t-shirt, and on a few occasions, I even felt chilly and had to use the blanket. Now, that has not happened for quite some time, I can tell you that.

I hope the rest of this year is this cold.
