Wet,wet,wet !

Freak Weather ...

Travelling down South to see loved ones was dampened with the torrential rainfall throughout the journey. It was not a surprise to see vehicles being stalled and tow tracks are doing many a favour by being around. They are the first to arrive to render help. Some accidents were really nasty.

But it was good to see the old folks at a stop-over in Muar before we left for Kulai to see grandma Lau. The journey was lengthened by the ceaseless rain today and now I know how the folks in Queensland feel with so much water everywhere. Kulai town was inundated with flood waters and were we glad to travel in a 4-wheel drive ! Many smaller vehicles had to make various kinds of detour to avoid the rising waters. I have never seen a flood of this degree in reality. I only see them in the news and some pictures.

How is the by- election in Tenang going to make it? How many will be able to arrive at the polling centres? Will there be a possible postponement?

Then I began to look at the dark clouds and rain again. I honestly have not felt so lost in this weather ... before the annual new lunar year. It always used to be hot, hot, hot ! The bougainvilleas will be blooming so beautifully unlike the pathetic looking ones in Por's place. Oh everything feels so different without the usual scorching sun. I hope the weather will improve in the next few days.

But the gloom is uplifted when we reached Singapore to be with Grace and Esther who came down a day earlier for a show. Yes, it's good to see the girls again. The next few days will be a good change from KL and I hope to see what the season's mood is like here. This is my first time in the Lion City for the season. There were never reasons to come down but now it's different because Grace is here. She finds it difficult to travel with her working hours ; so we had to travel for her instead.

Looking forward to spending some days with the girls before they leave again.
