Entries in rain (30)

Thanks Heaven

It was threatening to rain when I ended my morning clinic but when reached the Doctor's Lounge after the Friday prayers, the heavens opened. And boy, did it rain?

Nice breeze instead of the hot sun while walking to and from the mosque, and I was lucky that it only started to rain when I got back to the hospital. It rained but wasn't as heavy as it was on Thursday. Thursday's storm was a major one!

Rain and Tennis

20 minutes to get to Jalan Duta but took double the tune to reach Subang after that. It poured but luckily I left early and the traffic was lighter than I expected. It was torrential when I finally settled in.

I pity those who set off later as I could see the Kewajipan elevated road was already full leading into the Federal Highway.

As per usual, heavy rain would mean clinic cancellation. So, let's watch tennis instead. And Nadal was absolutely destroying Robredo. They should've had a standing eight count, or better still, just stop the fight early! Maybe he's sending a message to Federer to give it up as he was knocked out by Robredo in the earlier round.

Windy Afternoon 

The plan this afternoon was to join the boys for their swimming class straight from the apartment after work. Usually on a Saturday afternoon, I would gave lunch at work before taking a breather for a couple of hours at the apartment.

Being Ramadan, there was no lunch today. So, in spent the afternoon just watching TV - watching the fascinating documentary I blogged about earlier.

Right after the documentary, the weather just changed. It was raining heavily outside night this moment. Hopefully, then traffic won't be bad as we planned to have our iftar outside this evening.

Dozing Off

After the whole week of bright sunshine, torrential rain hit KL just now. Luckily my slow morning extended to the afternoon. And even though things picked up before lunch, it sion quieten down again and I was able to leave the hospital just before 5.

Thus, I was able to avoid the rain and the suspected heavy traffic. But I got caught when I went to pick up my boys from their Qur'an class earlier. It was raining cats and dogs. And the rain did make me feel sleepy. In the sofa now, and I was sure I would be dozing off soon ....

The New Viaduct

Saw this now famous photo from yesterday afternoon on the Interweb. Unfortunately I couldn't tell who I should credit it to. But I was caught behind this. I was halfway up the ramp when I had to stop and turn back. It was pouring down yesterday, and I planned to escape early as Tuesdays were supposed to be my free afternoon.

It was sunny until about 2 pm. And then the it became suddenly dark and heavens opened. And it was torrential! I managed to get things sorted out and was about to leave the hospital at 4, when the road started to become waterlogged.

I made a U-turn to go up the ramp to join NKVE, when I had to stop halfway up. Apparently some poor soul had his car caught in the water, and despite efforts to free him up, the engine stalled.

A few makeshift traffic wardens the helped clear the traffic for us to reverse back onto the main road, and put up signs to stop people from entering the ramp.

For the last week, since it started raining heavily in the afternoon, that stretch of the bridge had been clogged with water. It was due to the rubbish wing strewn onto the road, and blocking the drainage. But it was still funny to see the ramp tubes into a viaduct!

I hope that the MPSJ folks would clear the drain fast as that stretch was one o the main artery road feeding into either the NKVE or Federal Highway. As for me, I better not take that ramp the next time it rained .....
