Denied Again

This post was written on Friday, 3rd June 2016

The crave for droning was strong. And I was denied again. This time due to heavy rain. Two days in a row. Even Anita felt sorry for me ....

I managed to get to Putrajaya, had a drink before it started raining. Thunder was everywhere and the lightning made the flight a no go.

If I thought it was bad at Putrajaya, it turned out that the rain and strong winds had caused havoc in KL There were hailstorms and trees uprooted. A few buildings were damaged as well as area of flash flood. It was not pretty.

So, the drones would have to wait that bit longer ....

Great Light

After many afternoons of going out for photography and putting, we decided to stay in this Sunday afternoon. I was actually having a map after lunch. And today, the weather turned out to be gorgeous!

But since we had planned to stay indoors, Idlan just finished his homework and generally had a quiet night in. How I wished I was outside instead...

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 ....

Scorching

I spent Monday mainly indoors. During lunch, I joined Anita at a restaurant near our apartment and at that point experienced the searing hot of the current heatwave. It was bordering on brutal.

And apparently Malaysia has yet to experience the worse of it. That was just the beginning.

I needed ice cream ....Searing hot during lunchBy late afternoon, things was almost unbearable. My clinic was done early and I finished my ward round before packing things up for home. But not before a quick stop at the mart for some ice cream.

I understood that schools in Perlis and Kedah would be closed for the next couple of days due to the weather. My boys were having their exams this week and will be having their Easter break soon. Not sure what the plan would be looking at the weather. Idlan was keen to go to Penang, but judging from the weather report, things were worse up North. Maybe Fraser's Hill may be a better bet!

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 ....
