The rains had arrived...the cool change has come

Yup for two consecutive mornings....yesterday and today...the rains had washed out the morning exercises of many in Penang....suddenly the botanical gardens and municipal park seem so quiet again...no more bad music streaming from the street blasters for line dancers...and crackling sounds of some old recordings playing chinese tunes for tai chi and qi qong practitioners....they jar into my ears and disturb my meditation when i'm jogging...interfering with the wave patterns that i so desperately want to induce....there should be law against disturbing the peace and tranquility...how come they cannot do their thing in silent mode...or at least get better music and better sound system...

My early morning gripe....but rains not only bring a certain freshness in the air, a coolness in the morning that trancends words...u have to experience it....especially in the Park or Botanical gardens...maybe it is the positive ions...i dunno....its something u rarely experience during the hot and dry season....u probably will never experience in KL except in FRI, Kepong...then again, how many people in KL actually had been to FRI....

yup, poor KL souls....kl or the klang valley have no inhabitants, they have only inmates living there....that is another blog....

thank GOD for early morning rains...they clear away the haze...u can see along way off after the rains especially if it is more than an hour of rain or so...the skies are clear and the hills providing the backdrop to the island looks so green...(not so green now...with so much encroachment) the hills seem to sparkle and light up....

Yes, the blessings that rains confer after a long dry spell.....the joy that it brings...the refreshing air...the coolness of the morning...there is yet still hope....
