Finally
It finally rained, after a long dry spell.
Read in the paper earlier where meteorologist forecasted that the long dreaded rain will start during the eve of Chinese New Year.
Why long dreaded? Because for the past few years, whenever it rained during this festive season, it only meant one thing - flood. And it's getting worse each year. I remembered reading an article predicting this year's flood the worst ever.
It's not like my housing area will flood or anything. But the idea of out visiting in the rain is not so welcoming. Last year we even have to cut short our house-to-house visiting as many planned-to-visit areas were flooded.
Anyways, I should be counting my blessings instead of grumbling. Unlike others, I don't need to worry whether the water will enter my house when I'm in bed, or the need to evacuate any property when the water comes.
A relief yet a worry. This rain is really giving people the headaches. Let's just pray the rain serves its natural cooling purposes, and then begone with it. ; )
