GOODNESS GRACIOUS!!!
i cant even begin to try and explain how H.O.T it is over here okay..
and it was after it rained!!!
there was this huge thunderstorm on saturday that lasted for quite a few hours..it was flashing like twice every minute!! seriously!! and it rained so hard that the water sipped in thru the window sill, even though i had stuck plastic to the outer surface ( yeah i know it looks stupid and makes noise when the wind blows but hey, it keeps the water out when the snow melts and acts as a great cold and wind insulator )..
i got up feeling oh so tired the next day cos i sleep facing the window see..and i dont pull the blinds together cos i like the room to have some natural illumination..so i had the lightning flashing in my face the whole night..you couldnt see the lightning though cos i suppose the clouds were so thick, it was just lots of white light..so i just lay in bed for awhile and while dozing off to sleep, i was counting the number of lightning, the interval between the lightning and the thunder - longest was 30seconds between the 2..seriously..and it seemed like it was from so far away..
brings me back to the times when i sit by the sliding door at home, mug of hot black coffee in one hand right after being awakened from my afternoon nap..there’s something soothing about watching the rain fall pitter patter into that puddle, watching the ripples get tangled with each other..the smell of rain..the cool wet breeze..letting your thoughts astray as you mindlessly gaze at nothing in particular..being startled by the sudden lightning and waiting for the thunder to follow..
the mechanism of rain..
yet here though, the thunder sounds different..really, i aint bluffing..next time it rains in malaysia, listen closely..there’s the lightning followed by the clap, and then the rumble growling away..here, there’s the flash, a loooooong pau-za, then growlyrumbledeeroar which is quite prolonged..
dont i have anything better to do you say??
when the mind is free and the heart is without a care and the brain without a burden, you just seem to soak in everything..
of cos all that left the internet connection a mere piece of wire and i was forcibly offlined for 1n1/2 days..
and then it rained some more..
and now its sunny..
and i cant take it..
it was just after rain, minus the sun at 9 am today and it was 30degrees..
by noon, the sky was a clear blue that made me feel like i wanted to be a falcon that could fly up oh so high..but i’d probably burst into flames though - it was 40degrees!!! 40-scorching-degrees i tell ya!!
and the weird thing is, nobody’s under an umbrella!!!
of cos i am strictly off umbrellas - i dont carry one and i dont think i ever will..but none of these russians do - they are all heading for skin cancer i tell ya..
and there was this final thing that i needed to get - shoes..went to mega on saturday but didnt see anything nice that i liked so i went to fantastika instead..then i decided that i might as well get something that’ll probably last longer and headed back to mega, so finally i am done with my shopping - oh, still got strawberries to get for mummy, hope they have the real juicy ones like i saw at the rinok the other day..
and then i packed the bags, which i have no idea how i am gonna get em down 4 floors - hopefully the lift will be functioning on that day..
so i am actually in the mood to be heading back home, with loads to look forward to..nyum nyum..
