And It Finally Rained

It had been a really hot couple of days here. This morning was especially warm. Almost unbearable. I took my car for a wash before lunch and thought that the wax would stay on for at least a couple of weeks.

The lunchtime was still hot. Afternoon rounds came and went, after which I had a meeting until almost 7pm.

The car being cleaned earlier in the morningOn the way home, it started to pour. There was almost a flood at the exit of NPE towards Bangsar, and cars were in single file to avoid the water. The rain was really heavy.

There went the wax. But at least tonight would be cool ....

Welcomed Rain

The haze had been threatening to hit KL again, and the weather had been really hot lately. Certainly much hotter than before I left for Brisbane, and the rain yesterday afternoon and today really made the difference. I can now feel the air conditioning in the apartment.

And being post-call, all the more reason to just laze out in bed with the TV on .... Let's see what was playing ....

Welcomed Rain

The recent haze was predicted to get worse and any patch of rain would certainly be welcomed as came with it would be a some fresh air and sunshine.

Wee, it did so on Monday when the sky was getting grey and the air had that smell of burnt soot. I was on call and managed to skip to the bank during lunch with Anita. School was closed, so the boys were at home, enjoying an extra few hours in bed.

While we were tucking in, suddenly we heard thunder and soon after the heaven opened. It poured heavily for a good half an hour and soon after, the air was noticeably cleaner.

But that did not last long. By the time I returned home for dinner before my evening round, visibly deteriorated again although not as bad as the first thing in the morning. But, those few hours of fresh air was a respite. Long it may stay that way ...

Scary Afternoon

I had an early start this morning. One of my patient turned unwell at 5 am, which led me Tibet's runny ward round by 7. This then allows me to start my clinic at 9 sharp despite having almost 20 inpatients to see.

The clinic was also a long one since I cancelled tomorrow. Rushed to Friday prayers before my afternoon round.

By 5 pm, I was already sat at home. As usual, a quick look through my email while sitting at my balcony but this time in really strong wind. Guess it was going to rain. A look across into town and it was already covered in clouds. I guessed the traffic today was going to be bad if it rained heavily.

Time to enjoy my coffee.

A Happy End to Monday

Looking forward for a busy week coming. On call, followed by a couple of lectures before the end of the week. Since I was last on call almost 3 weeks back, the ward had been light and I had a couple of weekends to enjoys my photography.

Great to see that the weather turned gloomy this afternoon as not to pine for another outing with my camera ....

Looking forward to a quiet night preparing my talks ....
