Finally Rain Shower

Finally rain came pouring after many days of hot sunny days. We like the sun shiny days but we need some rain to cool the temperature down too.

After few hours of rain this afternoon, water started to accumulate on the part of the road where drainage is poor.  We were on the way to fetch our eldest from Uni slightly after 4pm.  Many are off from work earlier than usual working hours during the month of Ramadan.  Classes at Uni also dismiss slightly earlier.

on these ones too..Desert roses are the only flowering plants that I have.

Long waited rain shower

My sitting area in the office is away from the window, hence, whenever I want to check on the weather or relax my sleeping eyes I would go to my bosses' rooms where there are windows.  These are the views from my workplace.

 

  The huge state library is under construction and it is progressing well..the weather has been smokey and hazy.  Just last Monday, I have to ask my better half to fetch my girl home earlier from school because the haze was so bad that I could smell the smoke even in the air conditioned office.  My girl has sensitive nose, it is very unhealthy for her.

 

  

Fast forward to yesterday (Saturday), the haze hasn't dispersed. It was worse in Kolombong and Inanam area when we traveled to view a show house at Bukit Bantayan Residences, a condominium development by Gamuda Land.

On our way home, we were greeted with much awaited rain drops, at first we thought it's only a passing rain (it happened many times with the 'false rain"), we were very happy that it rained heavier and lasted for 2 hours.  We need more of these showers to end the El Nino phenomena.  

Yes, we are having rain shower again right now, on Sunday evening.
