.....

Climate change!!! I have never experienced such things in my whole life here in Brunei (and that spans over 2 decades!!!) Monsoon rains I have experienced, flooding, even into the house, but never have I experienced such strong winds..mind you this is the 2nd time and I was at home! The 1st time was Friday night when I was at work..mind you I work by the sea, and its really scary to look out the windows and see total darkness illuminated by flashing lightning streaks repeatedly and seeing in those flashes the heavy and heady waves breaking ominously on the beach just 50m away from the window. And to think I parked under a tree!! I expected my car to be flattened. And tonight again, cooped up at home wondering how much stronger the winds could be, watching forlonly at my poor babe being mercilessly battered by the winds and rain..argh..
