Cool Snap

It wasn't exactly freezing but it was enough to stop you on your tracks. 22C morning temperature is certainly well below the average for KL and it looked like for the coming weeks, that would be what we would have in store.

It felt like a cool early summer morning in England. I managed to sleep without the aircond quite comfortably with the balcony window opened a hole of nights back. And sitting at the balcony in the breeze at late evening was very pleasant as well.

Low clouds in the eveningAccording to the Meterological Office, the cold snap was brought in by the Pacific Monsoon. This would last for at least another couple of weeks. Coupled with thick cloud and morning rains, I wouldn't exactly label the weather as great. In fact, it was really dull.

Imagine if we were on a break at Fraser's Hill. I'd probably be having hot chocolate on front of the fireplace. Looking forward to some not-too-hot weather. Actually, kind of nice not having to sweat walking for my Friday Prayers.

The water was just too cold and both of them ended up with runny noses when they go to bed that evening. Best to enjoy it before its novelty wears off ...

Sunny Start

The weather today had been a changeable one. It started off gloriously with sunshine up to lunch. But by the time I went to pick up Idlan after football, it had started to darken. It was raining heavily on the drive back and when we reached Bangsar, the was some flash flood near Lembah Pantai.

Luckily the rain stopped before the traffic started to pile up. It looked serene outside with fresh air after the rain. It was nice having a cup of coffee at the balcony.

Glorious sunshine before rain coming after the walk was done .... Fingers crossed!

Windy Start

It had been cold in the house all night despite the air conditioning being on the low setting. It turned out that the weather was gloomy outside. When I walked out onto my balcony I thought that a huge storm was coming.

The problem with early morning deluge in town was the traffic. You could tell that the traffic was going to be bad from looking out your window. True enough, traffic was crawling .... Good Morning KL!

Heavy Downpour

This is the stuff of nightmare during Ramadan. Late afternoon rain and flash flooding. That was what exactly we had this afternoon.

Anita was stuck at Bangsar Village buying groceries and food for berbuka. She was not able to get into the car and had to wait in the mall. When the rain finally let, the traffic were building up. It took her half an hour to get back to the apartment which was only less than a couple of kilometres away. Such was how bad the traffic was.

I was lucky since I was able to get out of the hospital early although I got stuck in heavy rain along the highway. It could have been worse ...

Happy Sunday Morning

It certainly been a gorgeous morning, and although I was on call and had started receiving admission before starting my morning round, the beauty of the morning was not lost.

Things went smoothly this morning, with everybody in a good mood. Idlan was at home already starting his tuition while Anita getting ready for open house at her friend's place. I would be at the apartment waiting for admission and would be returning to the hospital after lunch. For the meantime, I might as well enjoy the morning sun. It was a shame that I was on call, because otherwise I would have been out with my drone ....
