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.

True enough, Nadal gave Robredo a right bashing.

Bangsar Crying

I planned to stop at Bangsar Village and the shops surrounding it during lunch, but it just rained all afternoon. I thought I could get away by waiting for the rain to pass. Unfortunately it kept on pouring down even until I left for clinic from the apartment.

Waiting for the rain to passIt looked like my maid had her work cut out for the weekend as the heavy rain flooded the patio. Luckily there was no report of flooding or tree falling. That happened the last time it rained this heavy.

The Haze Was Back

We only had a couple of weeks of let off. I woke up this morning to the smell of haze when I stepped into the parking lot. I didn't think much of it until I heard on Twitter that the haze was back.

Sure enough itbjust got worst by the afternoon. Visibility was still OK, but I couldn't see central KL when obese driving. Looked like it would get worse tomorrow.

Since my boys just finished their exam and would be on their summer holidays from next week, I decided that they should be off tomorrow if the haze worsens. They didn't complain.

Uprooted

I wasn't joking about the wind yesterday. On my way back to Gombak, I had to take a detour to avoid an uprooted tree near Bukit Bandaraya. It had stopped raining by then, but you could see that some of the shrubs and leafs been blown away. The place looked a mess.

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.
