The weather has taken a turn for the worst.
A predicted 2 weeks of rain and wind, and temperature hardly reaching a double digit.. where did this so called promised heat wave go?!
Yesterday while attempting to get to my workplace,
which is fortunately (and in conditions like these, unfortunately) just opposite the seafront,
I got blown a number of steps forward in an out of control manner.
Had that sacred little traffic light not been built there, I would have been blown right into traffic and possibly ended up as a roti canai/paratha on the road because I had no control over myself at all.
So there I was, clutching the pedestrian stop button box on the traffic light for dear life, actually praying for the wind to stop for a few seconds to allow me the mercy of darting to work safely,
which was literally just across the road.
Yes, I was aware that nicely sheltered people in their cars must have been laughing at this creature in her puffy jacket clinging on to the pole. I did manage to make a run for it in the end and got to work looking like I just escaped from a horror scene.
I can't imagine if my friend's 8 pound Yorkshire Terrier had been out and about in this weather, he would have been blown to Scotland for sure.
I think I will eat more burgers during my lunch break.
