Sydney rain on a Sunday

I often start my blogpost trying to explain the absence of posts made due to some inevitable business or laziness issue. Thus, i shall skip that explanation this time around. Regardless, today's excuse will be; lack of internet connection in IPG KBA and that sucks balls. That aside, it's a rainy sunday morning-afternoon today (probably til nightime as well. I'll confirm that later)

Anyways, if there is one notable difference between Sydney rain and KL rain, it would be the consistency. Sydney rains koalas and eucalyptus while KL significantly rains stray cats and dogs. If that make no sense, well, let's say Sydney's rain goes down slowly - pouring or drizzling to be exact. The rain is in tiny little drops and it may last a couple of minutes to a couple of days. So, a rainy day in Sydney is pretty much a laidback day to hibernate or enjoy a cup of coffee. KL rain, on the other hand, sound pretty much like hailstorm (without the hails) and you can hear it coming miles away from the thunders. You'll see people running for shelter in terror and kids hiding in corners, freaked by the thunderclaps. Okay, i'm exaggarating that point but yeah, it's pretty much like that. In a say, KL raindrops are big drops of water that goes down real fast, loud and hits you hard in the face - suitable for a classic western death scene in the rain - while Sydney's slow and trippy pour - like ones in a Bollywood mv clip.

But, rare case of the day, it is raining Sydney in KL at the moment. It has been raining since early this morning and yeah, everything today seems slow and smooth. Woke up to the sound and chilly air of the rain and the first thought i had was, "hey, sure rains like it's in Sydney today". So i had my cup of coffee, listen to She & Him's Volume 1 and pretty much stare out of the window the whole time. Lunch was a tiny bit of issue as i had to get to the restaurant down the street with no umbrella. So i put on the same jacket i wore on rainy days in Sydney and bolted down the road - just like old times. Oh, and more classic life in Sydney twist, i had a walk in the rain with her, sharing an umbrella she had with her which wasnt exactly hers, and had lunch with her under the pitter-patter sound of raindrops above the roof - again, just like old times. Everything about today reminded of my life in Sydney and while i'm dreadfully missing it, it's pretty cool that i'm reliving a moment of my life from almost a year back in KL. Not sure who i should be thanking of this wonderful day so yeah, thanks, God, you've done it again. lol

Anyways, here i am blogging on my balcony while watching the rainy weather outside =)
