Monday, March 08, 2004 The skies just played a cruel joke on me. Yes, I'm home again. I was almost at my camp gates when I received a phone call -- my sweep detail had been cancelled. It appears the VIP doesn't enjoy breakfast in the rain. So here I am, back in front of my beloved computer, slightly drenched and quite disgruntled. A nice introduction into my rant for today: the rain. I hate rain. Rain has ruined many of my activities, more than I can count. Soccer games, trips to parks or to Pulau Ubin, even shopping trips or dates with friends have been ruined by rain. Because I do not have a waterproof bag, I hate to travel when it's raining. I always fear for my bag and the inevitable book within. Whenever it rains I will moan, "There goes a fine day." Even after the rain has stopped its effects linger. Puddles along the pavement to weave and skip about. Dripping eaves everywhere. Cars offering free showers as they roar through puddles on the road. Outdoor activities are a no-no after a rain. Wet grass and muddy tracks combine to ensure the day ends with me wet and dirty from the waist down. I used to enjoy tumbling on a cool bed on rainy mornings, refusing to wake up till noon-time. I used to peer out the window at the lashing rain pounding the streets, the wind howling anguish, the lighting weaving amongst the clouds. All while snug in the warmth and comfort of my home, feeling thankful for the roof over my head and the four walls around me, looking at the forlorn street below which seemed devoid of life, like a ghost street in a ghost town. Sadly, there is little opportunity for that in my life anymore, no time to gawk at the rain, no time to whittle away in the house doing nothing. There's no reason for me to like the rain anymore.
