Wow, it's been raining heavily each day for quite a few days now. And July and August are supposed to be relatively dry... Good thing is that the rain keeps the weather nice and cool. You know, rain is one of the defining features of Singapore. It rains anytime, anywhere, all year round. And when it rains, it can really rain. That's why many of our canals are so deep and wide. I'm always impressed when the little stream at the bottom of the canal along Bukit Timah Road swells into a raging torent within an hour of rain.

Today, of course, it rained too. Well, it stopped in the morning, so after church I went down to Orchard, jalan-jalan for a while, then met some friends for dinner. Unfortunately, the recommended place at Cuppage Plaza was closed (some place called Ueno) so we adjourned to a run-of-the-mill izakaya in the same building. Went looking for Island Creamery (that famous place in Serene Centre) after dinner at Centrepoint based on a rumour that they also had a store there but failed to find it. Guess it's only at Serene Centre then. Proceeded to Coffee Bean etc. etc. etc.

Wonder if it'll rain tomorrow...
