My Blue Heaven

Never thought I’d say this in London..

But I’m actually wishing the temps would drop a little! It’s been really hot this whole week.. even at night. I don’t mind the heat during the day.. its nice to have decent summery weather.. plus I’m in air conditioned offices. But trying to go to sleep at night in the sauna of a room that I’m in is really hard (these british houses are TERRIBLE – they really keep the heat trapped in – which is good for winter, but sucks for summer.. and no such thing as air conditioning either!) Last night I really didn’t sleep very well, tossing and turning and waking up the whole night coz it was so stuffy and hot.

But other than that minor complaint, I am enjoying the nice weather we’ve been having here. Am making full use of my singlet tops and skirts and havaianas. 🙂 I hear this summer in London is going to be a warm one! So in preparation, I went on my first shopping expedition last night. 😀 I haven’t shopped since I arrived here in London.. thats like… a whole MONTH AND HALF of NO shopping!!! :O Anyway, almost every girl I’ve encountered has raved about The Top Shop on Oxford Street.

I finally decided to take a trip there after work.. and its pretty cool. The latest fashions in one big store (which is PACKED full of girls!!!) and the prices are quite cheap too. I bought myself a pair of sunnies for £10. Not bad eh. They’re rimless aviator/J.Lo style sunnies… medium filter with that gradiant shading thing.. in a brown-gray tone. I likey. 🙂 The only thing that sucks is that I’ll have to wear contacts to wear em… ah well. They sorta look like the 2nd from the top, in the picture to the right. Very similar shape & style, but a slightly darker brown/grey shade. And the sides have a double, not single err.. metal thingy.

Anyways. Getting close to end of the day now. Woohoo.. almost the weekend! I get to sleep in tomorrow. Woohoo! 🙂 Gonna go to Salsa class again tonight, the first time since the ankle sprain. Hopefully I should be fine to dance. Coz tomorrow I’m going to go to Zoonation (hiphop) class as well. And thats much more intensive than salsa! Gotta get back into dancing… have slacked off a bit. 🙁

Gotta get more active too.. coz I have been pigging out waaaay too much lately. Ugh! I can feel the kilos starting to pile on! :\ Although, I have started running regularly. Been going once or twice a week – running around Clapham Common park, which takes me about 20-25 mins. Great exercise and outdoors too, which is nice. Just need do it more often and keep it up regularly. (I lost my overseas Fitness First pass… grrr… Thats why I took up running. Its free!)

Current listening :: “I’m A Slave For You” – Britney Spears (For some reason I love listening to this song when its really hot… it just suits that sorta weather…)
