Sweltering..

It's been a brutally hot season. Ask anyone how their Chinese New Year was and you'd hear the same remark from anyone - "very hot lah!"



Not surprisingly, the heat and dry season brought about forest fires. These terrible forest fires caused a terrible haze.



I woke up on Saturday morning and was greeted by a curtain of white haze as my first view of the outside world =P I hate not having a full view of a clear morning sky and fresh and clean air.

However, around dinner time and especially during the middle of Saturday night, the rain came, and come it really did. It rained the entire night and even up till the time service began at church at 10am, it was still raining where I was. Some of us felt that the rain was probably man-made, but for me, I believe God brought the rain. Many prayed for rain. Even though man might have gone up into the sky to make it rain, if God hadn't allowed it, their efforts would be futile anyway.

Thanks God, for bringing the rain. I couldn't help but let out a yell after church, that I could see clear skies again, for a bit...

*By the way, the 1st 2 photographs were actually taken during the morning, not evening like the 3rd picture. Imagine how hot the days have been lately. Morning sun and you get that kinda look on the sun. That's an angry looking sun for you!*
