Rain!

In a normal year, Dubai has rains 2 times a year... But recently, it hasnt really been normal.. just last year, it rained 5 times!

Because Dubai doesnt rain very often, there is piratically not drainage system to speak of and so once it rains, there will always be ponding and how fast it dries up will depend on how hot the sun is for the next few days.

The other day, there was an urgent message from the school because there were light showers and the weather report said thunderstorms are to be expected.. and KDHA (which is like our MOE in Singapore) announced that all schools will close immediately and parents have to go and fetch their children. So shiok man..loh hor then can mian tak chek...






In the end/? Boh loh hor lor! It didn't rain!:) Wahahahahaha ;)

That night though, in the middle of the night.. there was a relatively huge downpour... and so the next day.. when we were coming home from lunch.. we saw this...

Trust children to make the most out of the ponding...

Bet Singaporean parents wun allow this cos "the water is too dirty!" wahahahahaha...

Ace told me though that due to the light drizzle they had in school, there were puddles and they had puddle jumping competitions to see who can make the biggest splashes...  Sigh.. no wonder he was especially smelly that day...
