Rain, rain, incessant rain...

Rain, rain, go away!

The relentless barrage of water droplets is irritating! The house is kind of stuffy now because the windows have been 95% shut over the past two days. Every now and then, the rain reduces to a drizzle or even stop, but open your windows for a moment and the storm resumes service. Even walking to the bus stop has become quite a hassle.

And the clothes remain damp, day after day.

And there are floods everywhere. There's the report of a nursery suffering $10k worth of damages to its plants and even office. Then there's the case of the mud slides in parts of Singapore. And let's not forget those collapsing trees that crushes vehicles and other stuffs.

And there's my own experience of travelling through the flooded stretch of Lornie Road outside MacRitchie Reservoir. There was construction work going on there, and the water reach the workers' knees! It was quite a sight to behold - the workers wading around, the vehicles crawling through the pool of muddy water, and the ants breaststroking through the mess (I didn't see this, but nothing's impossible). I pity the car owners whose cars were parked in the MacRitchie carpark. There's no way those carriages are going to start after being semi-submerged for hours, unless they drive high-tech automobiles with the ability to utilise hydropower...


Come again another day!

It would really be good if the rain could stop now and come back on a hot Sunday afternoon. It's quite frustrating that we are having excess precipitation here, while hungry, emaciated African kids can only pray for rain. If only we could transfer all the excess rain clouds in the world to where they are needed, there would be no more Sahara Desert et al. Ah... Utopia...


Little children want to play.

Hopefully scientists will be able to develop technology to 'correct' environmental conditions. May the world be free from deserts and floods! Afterall, it's not right that kids in Singapore play with water (they need to learn to appreciate water) while their counterparts in most parts of Africa can only play with the thought of playing with water...

The good thing is: I can get a good night sleep!
