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 .....

Rain!

The rain was finally here. After a day of haze yesterday and all morning today. Hopefully the rain would bring fresher air. After sorting out my morning rounds, I decided to clean up my apartment and catch a quick nap before my afternoon clinic. All were sorted out by the time the rain arrived. It helped to cool the weather somewhat, before stepping back to the hospital.

It Is Windy!

It is about to rain outside while I was at the lounge waiting for admissions. After being on leave for four days, it was back to work for me, and straight I being on call.

Had a couple of admissions so far and I am sure there would be more to come. One look outside and it was scary. Heavy wind again and I am sure it would be pouring down soon. The last time this happened, a couple I weeks back, we had tree branches falling at the Doctor's outdoor carpark - luckily I pay for an indoor one - with damages to three cars. The problem with this was, one can't claim from insurance. Luckily, there were no injuries.

It is brewing again outside, so here is praying that it would not be another mishap!

Raining Saturday

Oh No! It looks like it would be raining today. I made plans for a quick photowalk in town, with a busy week lined up for next week and weekend. So, hopefully the rain would let up later today, and I'd be able to snap some photos.
