Predictability

Even the rain in Singapore is predictable. It is probably- a syndrome that grips most urban cities- their predictability. The rain is like a daily sitcom. It has a fixed time, a fixed duration, the same story line and just like the actors in the serials, aometimes, it can get a little too animated. The clouds in Singapore are beautiful though- small wisps floating so close to you at times, big heavy laundary bags at others.

I have seen the moon on the Singapore sky, not too many stars though because our celestial gems often lose out to the manmade sodium lamps an neon lights lighting the Singapore view and skyline. I have heard of statements like, 'the sky looks too starry for a Singapore sky!'

The rain in Singapore is not obstructing. It doesn't flood roads and you know that it isn't an unening spell, so you can be sure that ther will be respite. It looks bigger on a bigger field of view though!

I haven't seen the sun rise or the sun set, i guess it quietly slids somewhere in the basement of a tall sky-skraper. Then takes the MRT to paya lebar, a bus to the Parkway Parade and finally walks down to the eastcoast to rise from there in the morning.

I'll ask him when I meet him next on the MRT station- where does he dine? Raffles or Clarke Quay? Where does he shop? Orchard or Bugies?
