Here’s something a little funny I saw on Facebook today. It had been raining the whole day (from the moment? woke up) till afternoon.

I’ve blurred out the names on purpose. Can’t show everyone who’s saying what, right?

In rain-related news, my condolences to the people affected by the landslide in Bt Antarabangsa. I didn’t know about it until late evening yesterday, when on our way back from Malacca, we made a stop at a petrol station, and saw the headlines of the newspapers.

It’s terrible. I keep thinking, what if it was my family in there? People are dead, homes are destroyed. How many more tragedies must occur before something is finally done? Our politicians are all talk but no action. The Highland Towers tragedy is still fresh in many peoples’ minds. And yet, unmonitored hillside development continues unabated, and the ones who suffer are the innocent.
