Admiring The Blue Skies

I love watching the skies this past few days. I'm glad I'm able to find simple pleasure just by watching the bright blue skies. After the bad haze we experienced, I'm still excited when I see faraway trees are green instead of dark grey. I'm glad I can see all the tall and majestic looking buildings in KL. I can really see the windows and the lights.

I felt like someone with poor eyesight who has just gotten her first spectacles. Everything seems much clearer now. Despite my allergies and mild asthma, I'm glad to say that my vision is the only thing affected during the recent haze.

I can't stop admiring the bright blue skies and the spots of cottony white clouds looks like billowing waves. A colleague suggested maybe I need a seaside vacation to which I fully agree. Another colleague didn't quite get my fascination with the blue sky. But I'm sure today many will miss the bright blue skies as it is pouring in KL this afternoon.

I didn't expect the rain despite the grey clouds. We went out for lunch as usual and can't return to office due to the heavy rain. After waiting for quite sometime and the rain didn't show any sign of stopping, we decided to hunt for umbrella. I already have 3. One at home, one in the office and another in the car. I have no choice but to buy another.

I didn't have a folding umbrella so I might as well buy one. Giant's stock of umbrella was sold out so we went to Guardian. The cashier smiles looking at so many people buying umbrellas. The 3 umbrellas we purchased come up to almost RM50. Any salesperson would smile wide. Even our colleagues who didn’t go out very far for lunch laughed looking at our newly bought umbrella with the price tag still intact.

It is OK. Let the rain wash the world and hopefully tomorrow we can see bright blue skies again.
