Rain, Rain, Go Away

It is the winter rainy season right now in Singapore.


A torrential rain storm would start, last for several hours, stop just to tease you and the 100 others who are waiting for taxis, and then start raining again with the same gusto as before for a few more hours. Rinse. Repeat. Check out this 29-second video and listen for that thunder crack near the end.

There is absolutely no need to wear nice shoes around here nowadays.

And the humidity is just a smidge high.

A few days ago, I found my sleeveless black dress (thick suit material) that was hanging in my closet, completely, thoroughly, pervasively covered in mold. Note: I keep my closet door open always for ease of access so this was truly a shock. It was grotesquely disgusting and the dry cleaners said no promises since the mold could’ve damaged the fabric already.

There are some sunny or somewhat dry days that peak out and then everyone has their laundry out to dry.



Just another winter on a tropical island…
