It’s been raining and raining. Same thing at this time 30 years ago. In fact, I can remember what I was doing at this time 30 years ago. And unlike now when appointments are cancelled because of the rain, I loved the rain when it was during school holidays.
I wasn’t always this adventurous. In my early teens, I was a bookworm. But I never really liked my studies. I loved to read story book. From novels to science books by Isaac Asimov, I could spend the entire day reading them. At that time, Queenstown library was just across the road from where I lived. I visited every couple of days to stock up reading material. With the weather cool and rainy and school closed, I would tuck into pile after pile of books borrowed from the library while the other boys got themselves wet and muddy at the football field.
Hence, I can tell you for certain what I was doing during this rainy season 30 years ago. My apologies to those who were not born then. Today, I don’t like the rainy season so much. It’s downright bad for business.
Apart from dental appointments being cancelled, taxi drivers are also having a hard time. No passengers. And worse, fares are going to be increased. If the economy is really that good, why is life getting tougher for people like you and me? I guess when it rains, not everybody gets wet.
