Umbrella

It is raining at my place as I am typing my blog, so I decide to change my topic for the day and write about the rain.

It is pouring outside. Lightning striking, thunder roaring, wind howling and vehicle’s alarm going off. The rain is so heavy that it is like a curtain that blocks all views around my vicinity. Usually, I can see Suntec City from where I am seated at my PC. But I can see none of it now.

I pity those who want to go home now after work. They are probably being trapped somewhere, unable to go home, as umbrella seems to be useless in this kind of weather. Hiding in shelters, especially bus stops, will not help either, as the wind will sway the rain right into the shelter and I believe that, by this time, many bus stops should be packed with people.

I love it when I am at home and it is raining heavily outside. The whole surrounding is so cooling especially when the wind blows into my place. I cannot stand heat. It will be great to take a nap now. Something like hibernating, I guess.

But before that, I need to wait for my wife who is one of those struggling outside, battling against the rain, to try to come home from work. Fortunately, her colleague is giving her a lift.
