Torrential Predictability

Some flashbacks of a trip from not too long ago...


The weather lately isn't something to write home about. The slightly more eager North-East Monsoon this year has practically drenched the entire island after a couple of non-stop shower spells driving the relative humidity close to 100% (if it hasn't already hit it) - wrecking furniture in ways one would least expect - via the insidious mildew. So that aside, here's what's been brewing in the workshop...

Monsoon In The City

The weather has been unforgiving of late. Flash floods across many of the water catchment areas on the island. A while back, it rained non stop for a full day. We've had the 3rd highest recorded amount of rainfall in 75 years. Power failures too. But for the better part of the island, life goes on. And that means something. It's something to be thankful for.

And then, a blast from the not so distant past:

Different Seasons

Confessions Of An Urbanite

Urbanite I am. Country I thought I'd be, but having been there and back, it appears the urban landscape, for all its cold impersonal bluntness, it exudes a somewhat antagonistic attraction that exceeds that of Natural infinity. But we're seasonal creatures as we are those of habit. There's a season for everything. Urban is now.

Red Yellow City Lights

Just back from the land of tea, Pandas and 麻辣火锅 (Ma La Huo Guo)...not that they are inter-related, but there you go. Chongqing-Emei-Chengdu. 8 days worth of mayhem, with the +K in Minstrel guise. Here's a start to the photo series in the coming week. It's back to work in 3 hours or so...time to hit the sack.
