The Worst Drench Ever

I blardy hate recent KL's weather, I tell you! HATE!
I had the worst drench ever in history today! My usual evening 7-8 minutes walk from the office to the nearest monorail station felt like 70-80 minutes! It was pouring madly. And I meant mad in all extent that you could possibly think of! So much so that an umbrella didn't help (it almost got blown off by the wind coming the opposite direction. Twice!). My slippery slippers didn't help either (but much better than wearing heels). Can you imagine if I had the guts to "choose beauty over safety/comfort" ? (there's this chinese saying that sounds that way). Oh, and it didn't help either, that there was this idiotic driver (driving an S-Class Mercedes, mind you, probably with pea-sized brains), running over this massive pool of water, while a few of us poor pedestrians struggled our way through the horrible storm on the streets! What a super-idiot. Urgh! By the time I got to the monorail station (finally, reliable shelter!), I was wetly equivalent to a pail full of water. My pants were fully drenched, as if I'd woke up and worn a freshly-soaked pants to work today. It was dripping drops of water with every step I took along the way (like I just emerged from a pool or something). The outcome/takeaways from this were...

(a) My whole bag was soaked too. Imagine two linings, the outer layer was of synthetic material of sorts. But it was soaked. Everything I had inside was wet - my purse, my mobile phone, my office access tag, my pen drive, papers, cards... And I have them all properly dispersed on the floor to dry out now. :(

(b) Energy & spirit drenched along too! :(

(c) How un-user-friendly can the public transports in KL be, or to be exact, how the roads leading to the public transports in KL can be.

(d) Never associate all big nice cars with courtesy drivers. Never. (I'm just too pissed to be fair enough to judge "the driver" fairly now. You may be rushing home to see your kids, or may be rushing off to the nearest toilet to pee, or you may even be rushing off to save Cicakman from falling off the wall, but I don't care!).

  1. I don't think it's just KL having this kind of weird weather lor. At least there's no hurricane or blizzard coming near.
