Dubai's 2010 a Rainy Start

dubai welcomes a wet first day of 2010 as rain poured down heavily sometime after friday prayers. funny that when i thought of writing this as my first posting for 2010, i remembered that the 'unusual weather' was also the subject of my first posting for 2009. read it here.

tak nampak burj al-arab!

anyway, we just got back from our usual weekend mandi rice fix when the rain poured like a normal monsoon day in malaysia - huge fat droplets, fierce hard sounds of rain drops, along with a thundering lightning once or twice.

we noticed a lot of huge puddles bordering on little floods here and there, especially depan rumah-rumah besa gile kepunyaan pak-pak arab tu! negara yang hujan pun 3-4 kali setahun, memang tak bersedia dengan sistem perparitan yang berkesan!


this is the one of the times when malaysians can feel like they're king of the road - we're used to driving during heavy rain, blurry windscreen, with only the tail light in sight - tak macam pak-pak arab ni memang tak biase lansung.

so time ni boleh tunjuk terer. hihi.


on 010109, it was hazy. and today, on 010110, it was rainy. coincidence? hihi.

let's analyze - last year started hazy, and true enough, dubai faced a lot of challenges in 2009, and felt the pang along with the rest of the world during the economic downturn; as most of you might have already know.

however, 2010 looks like it's starting with rain - as we all know, a sign of blessing from above. could this be the year dubai would be blessed with a speedy recovery from the economic turmoil it now faces?

have a great 2010, people!
