Weather With You

Sekali sekala aku suka jugak memantau perubahan cuaca, especially the obvious changes. It has been a bit windy for the past few days. Wind means nyaman when you are at this altitude, but not when you are at higher ground. It can be painful.

I woke up this morning to a gusting sound through the holes at our car porch. It made the howling sound. This phenomena normally happen when there are storms coming. But, as I left the home for Fajr prayer, I said to my son, the sky is bright and no storm is coming. However, the wind was definitely pleasant. It lasted for a few hours until 8.00 a.m. and the sun started to shine.

The same goes for a few days. But, it was surely hot days.

However, I can remember that friends way up in the north used to celebrate this phenomena which actually happened at this time of the year. They call it Angin Timur. Sounds like a song title from a local rock band. And yes, the wind is so strong for a few days/weeks. They will organise a group ride and they rode the flat roads of Perlis through sugarcane plantations, which most of them will curse and...come back again the following years.

I have suffered enough from other rides with similar conditions. Not in my future list.
