On Rain Watching

Staring into an angry night sky, I am given to wonder how many others are denying sleep to prowl the streets, choosing the cold blanket of rain to the warm covers of humanly embrace tonight.

I am certain I am not the only one who is having insomniac thoughts as bedfellows tonight. That, would be too much of a compliment, even for me.

 
I am still suffering from the sunburns that the basketball session on Sunday has given me.

Spring and Autumn have always been invisible; fast to arrive and equally fast to leave Singapore, Winter never visits, and Summer often overstays its welcome. The weather has been, to be putting it mildly, unpredictable and uncomfortable.

Hot and steamy sounds like a wonderful description of a session of sex, which unfortunately serves also to describe the feeling of a short 5 minute walk after rain. Hot and wet is also the perfect conditions for new cultures, of the bacteria, that is. The weather is perfect for plants and organisms. Mosquitoes and insects find it the ideal condition to breed and reproduce.

If only the Singapore population feels the same...

 
On Fortune Tellers

Fortune tellers who can but tell the future should be avoided as they cannot equip you with the equanimity to face it.

Forture tellers who tell you that you can change your future need to go no further as they have told you what you want to know most.

Your uniqueness and your special needs are precisely what make you statistically insignificant and therefore justified in being overlooked during consideration of the welfare of the masses.

 
Instigator, in our current, local, political context is used to denote a person appointed to be a scapegoat in order to absolve the crimes of other partakers on the pretext of ignorance, madness or more commonly stupidity.

 
I am back.

And let this mark my return as well as the beginning of my third year of blogging.
