雨

the absolutely dreadful time of year - the biannual monsoon season. i might be wrong, but it seems like it's started, though it did come a bit early this time.


It's been pissing the entire day today (to me at least. for those who wake up before 11 am: talk to the hand or go cry about it for half an hour. for those who wake up later than 12 pm: you're a pig), and it shows no sign of easing up at this time. the sky was already dark out at around 6 o'clock, and thanks to the wonderful timing of the heaviest onslaught of the day, i got a healthy dose of soggy clothes right before i got to my tuition (i'm the tutor). and to rub salt in the wound, i've just been told by a friend from down under that he hasn't heard thunder for over 2 years now.

as if that's not enough, i have a particularly persistent pet-peeve. yup, you've guessed it, it's rainy days. i guess it's a spill-over effect from my football madness days because you see, if it rains it usually means no football. and no football makes for a very agitated and destructive me. maybe i ought to do some growing up. but come on. where's the fun in being a grown up if you can't behave like an 8-year-old.

so the entire day was effectively ruined because of the morbid rain. uninspiring and lethargic. i need to wake up to sunshine, not dark skies - that's why i go to sleep damn it.


p.s. in the ultimate irony, the chinese character in the title of this post is the word that no matter what, my student can't seem to remember... bloody hell, look around, circumspice!
