Seasonal Rain

I have almost...forgotten that I have this blog to maintain. Just realized how forgetful I am getting these days. Perhaps I'm already growing old.

The trip back home last week was a fun one. The bus was very comfortable. Its almost as good as Business Class on your regular airlines, only this one...it takes 5 and half hours to reach KL instead of 1 hour. And...not to mention the occasional, goin up and down for immigration checks and a resting stop.

On my way back last Sunday, I had a tummy ache. I was trying to hold back and was pouring cold sweat already, but the bus has yet some distance to cover before we reach our destination. So I had to dare myself and make a request to the driver to stop after almost 20minutes of endurement. He said we are almost at the one stop we have to make before our arrival. Can I hold for another few kilometers? I took a gulp of cold air in and held it there. Nod. And walked back to my seat. There, I was straining very hard deep down below for another 10mins or so before I rush off into the emergency room once the bus has stopped. So much for having a good experience with bus.

The season's changing lately. The sky would just turn dark and pour heavily without warning and then after an hour or so, turned bright again as if nothing has happend. I wonder why the weather can change so drastically now. Or has it always been like this before, just that I'm too ignorant to realise?

An ex colleague has been in Singapore for a few days now. I met him for lunch earlier on. We talked about the old times, though we were not that close back in Jakarta...at least he still make an effort to call me out and do lunch, which I'm kinda glad. Friends don't come easy. It takes two; plus alot of effort to foster and to maintain.

Talking about the weather or the sky. If you look outside in KL, I found that the sky is not dark at all at night. It got the orangey color not just black only....in Bangkok, it was pitch black at 6 pm..... I am not sure will I go to the loo like you did... most likely I will not....I am that type of person who does not like to make big business in public loo..
