Impending storm

The news is plagued with typhoon Haiyan which is causing destruction at Phillipines. A storm which covers such a large area causing havoc and pulling out lives from people. Winds as fast as most sport cars can go 250km/h, the winds feels like you're standing in front of a gas turbine outlet at full revs.

This infamous typhoon also affects my homeland as well as the island that I am staying, sudden winds can come and go with heavy torrential rain following after. It is quite scary to be suddenly surrounded by large dark clouds which burst out in fury.

Looks like there will be limited opportunities for a great sunset these days.

Hot weather

It has been a very hot week, I mean it as in the weather is very hot and the skies are barely covered with sun. As I walked under this hot desert-like heat, I wonder what's up with the weather, why is it so hot these few days, even my bath is like sauna. 

The un-sweet smell of sweat seems to cover every inch of my body as I walked back from lunch. The sun is just so cruel, but I just imagine those who are living just in the middle of the equator, I think they got used to the heat. At least the heat here is so-so, only these days it gets too hot.

Maybe the earth just got tilted a few degrees and now the place I'm currently at is just as hot as Africa. Still, no complains as I reached the control room and the air-conditioning is just perfect for a hot day. It seems as though I just worked out despite the short walk from the cafeteria. 

Though at the end of the day, the sun is just glorious.
