After yesterday's post about the weather I couldn't help but chuckle to myself at the irony of today's weather. It was almost as if God had heard me making fun of the half-hearted rain yesterday and was saying "how dare you mock me! so there, take that!" today.
It POURED today. I woke up to the sound of the rain beating against my window. It was the kind of morning that was perfect for blowing off work and sleeping in. It rained like I've never seen it before. The roads were flooded as I drove towards town to the point where I couldn't even see the wheels of the car in front of me because they were submerged in water. I pitied the poor sucker on the sidewalk being splashed with muddy water from all the cars driving past. Unfortunately, that was me moments later. I have to park my car diagonally across the road where my building is and have to cross two roads to get to my office. I was so thankful that I was wearing shorts today and clutching my heels in one hand and my umbrella in the other, I splashed through ankle-deep puddles in my flip flops. It was a bit of a mission but I made it to my office some twenty minutes later, relatively dry compared to others, after navigating the puddles and working out the shallowest points at which to cross, standing well away from the curbs at the cars drove by.
This was Asian rain :)
Anyhoo.
In completely unrelated news, its my dad's 50th birthday today. Its such a milestone of an age but my dad doesn't want to make a huge deal of it so we're just going to have our usual family birthday dinner. I spent days trying to come up with a gift idea but what on earth does one give a man who's at the top of his game and already has all the material things he could want? I did try to get him tickets to a show that I know he would have loved but unfortunately they were sold out. I'm stumped for ideas. Any suggestions anyone?
