Pkchukiss - Reality Wine

Singapore has turned into a near perpetual toilet for the skies these 2 months, with the loo trips as frequent as every evening; each a heavy hitter in itself, so much so that no sane outdoor activity could happen from 3pm onwards.

Well, I could try dashing down to the supermarket for a few things during the lull, but it usually means a gamble that could see you laden with shopping items, no umbrella; or sprinting back home in the rain with your shopping and turning up at the lift lobby looking as if you had just come out of the shower. And that is for a 10 minute shopping trip at the local supermarket just across the road!

With such capricious weather, I can only look wistfully whenever Open Season time starts. No running in the rain, unless I am a hardcore person who doesn’t want to go to work the next day. Wait… I could try that if I didn’t want to go to work the next day, right?

Besides that point, the sky looks alluring with the pastel grey shades across the skyline. I always liked how the cool, stiff breeze always comes with these clouds (I think they are called cumulonimbus clouds), it is a welcome relief from the baking heat in the middle of the year.

I really feel for the NSFs whom are currently serving their National Service right now, surely some of them must be stewing in the muddy ponds that form from the rain. Imagine having to walk through the entire outfield exercise in wet clothings, and the prospect of a freezing night to pass without a change of clothes: my heart will be with you. I’ve been there, and done that. The jungle tropics can be cruelly cold at night in Decembers.

Now that is something anybody who hasn’t been through it would even know, don’t you agree?
