Jottings.

It rained early this morning, heavily. And it is raining again now, very heavily. It has been raining for the past couple of hours, and I never experienced such a long heavy rain before in the past 2 years. Indeed, in Cardiff, it rains a whole lot more compared to the rest of UK but it is nothing like right now, in Tapah. Usually, when it rains in Cardiff, it would not be as heavy for as long, but the entire day would still be wet-ish, humid and gloomy. But of course, there are the usual exceptions. You might get sunshine peeking through the grey-ish clouds which miraculously transform into bright white fluffy cottonballs of the sky amongst the striking blue sky.

I drove out to have my curry noodles for breakfast together with my family today. =) Tastes great, as always. Sadly, the much adored laksa shop has closed end of last year. I'll miss the old auntie's laksa. She's always very patient, kind and 'serving'. Not to forget, her husband who helps her out serving herbal drinks at their small shack. Such a wonderful duo they are. Beneath all the occasional disagreement and arguements and name calling that they do, is perhaps the unwithering bond formed decades ago..remaining ever so taut.

On another note, Shu Li has just watched, and suggests for leisure watching: Snow Cake



...which reminded me of a photo I took last winter, proving that all the endurance towards the cold was worthwhile. A splendor the sight was indeed.
