Missing the rain

My friends say that it's been raining in Singapore.

I woke up this morning missing the feeling and smell of rain. The clouds and atmosphere changing when it's about to rain, and the huge splatterings of raindrops, and even, sometimes, being out at MR and getting rained upon, a mixture of sweat n rain and my shoes smacking against the muddy slushes.

Oh. How I miss the rain and it's coolness. And sometimes the dirty aftermath (if i so choose to run!)

And today, in Abu Dhabi, it's sunny as usual. The worst has passed. Aug 24 was supposed to be the last official day of summer and it is true. The weather has cooled a little and by 630pm, it turns dark quite soon. Still, the temp is about 42 now. 😁

I am sitting in costa with my coffee, a cake and a book - Educated.

These last 2 weeks, I have just been feeling tired. This is the truth. I think all the early mornings are taking a toil on me and the past 2 weekends, I kept sleeping. And sleeping. But today I felt a little better. Today, maybe I just decided to do something different with a change of environment. So I headed to Costa for an afternoon read and coffee.

I am reminded of God's love and the little things I can be thankful regardless my emotions. I am reminded that post the rain, there is the rainbow. I am missing my family and friends in sg, and the rain. But today, i just want to feel grateful for even this afternoon at Costa.
