Am troubled. Something is not quite right. Cannot place the finger firmly on the issue. After all, the senses are being pleasantly assaulted by this new day. Big rain last night (at least 50mm - love the new rain guage) and the day is fresh, fresh, fresh! Late morning, on the way to the balcony, … Continue reading NORMAL
Mizzle: Rain but not. The random spits that last 15 minutes with the promise of so much more, but becomes nothing as if God had put a muzzle to the mizzle! Drizzle: most dreaded, especially in colder climates. Almost not felt on face, but brush the hair or outer layer of clothing and a slick … Continue reading RAIN
Traffic light in far distance yet again cycles though Red Green Orange Red. Movement? Not even a millimetre. 10 minutes sitting in a left hand turning lane at least 100 metres from the intersection. Never before in the last nine months at the new place have I experienced such delays getting home from the supermarket … Continue reading Waiting

Kuala Lumpur rain only needs 1 degree of fall … Continue reading Rock It!

Yet again, the … Continue reading A Warming Argument (long read)
From an Eggshell womb, sprouts Chili Padi (Birdseye Chili). Baby Pandan that was salvaged from a chopped up plant a few weeks ago is standing up ok. "So you like plants?", the first date states with a frown of suspicion. I am intrigued why someone could be so circumspect about plants. "I have black fingers. … Continue reading the SPROUTIST

(Courtesy ACDC - Rock 'n' Roll ain't noise pollution) Rock 'n' Roll does not require formal training or reading of sheet music. You just have a feel for … Continue reading A Warming Argument Part 7
ADAPT or ....! "The only constant is change", attributed to Greek Philosopher Heraclitus. Climate/ Weather is always on the move, sometimes subtle, sometimes not so. This state of movement creating change used to be relatively consistent with some upticks and downticks, but the average was pretty smooth. This change has become more extreme and will … Continue reading A Warming Argument Part 6
TIME "Time and Tide Wait for no Man", Geoffrey Chaucer. A most famous quote and most appropriate."Time, he's waiting in the wings, he speaks of senseless things......", "TIME" by David Bowie. I included this because I reckon the Song, especially the piano work is awesome! Time is of the essence here People! Humans are stuffing … Continue reading A WARMING ARGUMENT Part 5
