big fat raindrops...

... fell from the sky as I drove home from work today. I rather enjoyed it actually. Since I've been here the fat variety has been sparse. Mostly it sprinkles with the fine spray sort... what we would call a drizzle back from where I come from. So, the fat raindrops actually got me rather nostalgic for the days back in Malaysia when it poured. Weird how the strangest things can jog the memory to a time and place.
Ain't it though...I hear RC and you know I live in Ga.
Did anyone today tell you that you were kind? Well, you are. I should know. :)
Cheers!
I love a good rain..I am tired of the spritzing that passes for rain in here the valley. I really love the sound of it, I can lay in the dark with the tv off ,my music off and just listen to it rain.
oh it really is something isn't it? there is nothing quite like a tropical downpour during rainy season or being in a house with a tin roof when it pours so hard youcan't hear people speak when they are yelling, hehehe.
When I was a boy in Malaysia, the rain gave me relief from the heat and it was then I could imagine what it could be like in a cooler climate of a place like England. The irony is that now when it rains here in England, it reminds me of Malaysia and when I used to imagine what it could be like here!
KFarmer - you are kind to say so. :)
dusty - I know. I was laying in bed refusing to get up for work until the very last minute.
lime - LOL... yeah, you know of what we speak of. Then after the rain the smell of wet earth fills the air.
kien - ironic, huh? I was actually remembering camp times at John Valley when it poured.
Had the same thoughts this weekend when it poured down here. Same but different.
When did Kien grow up ? Hahaha.
BTW, John's Valley does not exist anymore, so you are not going to be re-visiting that place but only in your mind.
days in malaysia? did you live in kl? i lived in thailand and indonesia... that's where they make REAL raindrops.
