Dear Earthlings (and disguised Spacelings),
I said my utmost gratitude to Allah SWT when it finally rained last night. It has been a super duper weird climate in Malaysia since the last few weeks (or months?). I could still recall laughing at a cartoon column in local newspaper recently, which joked on how Malaysians were finally able to wear fancy winter clothes in this tropical country.
Locals in Cameron Highland were reported to finally able to wear their sweat-shirts in the noon since last 20 to 30 years. I guess the sudden dropped in temperature has welcomed mixed reactions from at least everyone. Of course I, on the other hand was in euphoria to be in the cool, breezy ambience. I always have this thing with air-conditioned environments, if you must know.

There was even an unusual report which we Malaysians seldom get to hear it often; frosts were somehow found on plants in higher grounds in Sabah! Although it was no close to snow but still, it sounded bizarre to me. Especially on seeing the huge fact that I am residing in one of the tropics with high humidity, dry wind and copious rainfall throughout the year.
And when I thought how any weirder could it top the situation more, we suddenly had to endure another drastic changes in the climate again. Not the usual chumminess but it was beyond everything familiar. It was too hot and too dry yet too humid. No sign of rains for quite a few weeks (which pretty good for laundry chores) but most of us had to suffer from poor signs of hydration.
My lips chapped so bad that sometimes I could even taste the dried blood on them. Of course it was not a pleasurable thing, well except that you somehow share the same Cullen’s bloodlines (of Twilight). So when it rained last night, I was pleased to relish every second of it. Now I know how rigid it is to be in countries with the slightest rainfall counts.
Well I used to hate a lot when it rained during the laundry day just because I was too lazy to rearrange the wet clothes for indoor drying. To be exact, I just can’t cope with the damp smell in clothes. But if I had to choose between wet days and hot ones, I sure love rain more than anything. But then I guess it is always a win-win situation to every God’s cause. No?
So let us be thankful to whatever weather we have, people!
