Rainy day + Vanilla drink + Jazz by Jay Soto = Perfect Tuesday.
My Gmail theme was minimalist until I changed it to dynamic theme recently. Dynamic theme changes according to time or weather of the city where I live in. I like how rainy day is represented in ‘Tree’ theme as a soothing and pleasant color blend:
My entire Gmail was filled with vibrant blend of purple tone until the rain stop.
This is an unusual news entry in my RSS:
Singapore’s iconic Merlion statue was struck by lightning on Saturday (28 Feb) afternoon during a thunderstorm. Local news radio station 938Live said the Merlion was struck by lightning between 4 and 5PM local time, causing parts of the statue to fall near a group of startled visitors. Luckily nobody was hurt.
The 8.6 meter-tall Merlion has the head of a lion and the body and tail of a fish, and sits at the mouth of the Singapore River near the central business district. The body of the fish represents Singapore’s origins as a fishing village, while the lion head symbolises Singapore’s founding by an Indonesian prince who named his new settlement after a lion he saw when he landed on the island.
If my memory serves me right, there are plenty of tall buildings and trees near the Merlion. I’m wondering how the lightning could strike the statue which is relatively short compared to tall buildings and trees nearby. Hm…
The weather has been pretty extreme in the past few days. It was cool and windy in the morning, bright and sunny in early afternoon, and a couple of hours later the thunderstorm came.

The city where I’m staying now is very dry and has low rainfall rate in a year. This city is surrounded by mountains which prevent most clouds from reaching the city. The sky is almost always clear; deep blue during the day, and dark with stars and bright moon during the night.
With almost no cloud since December, it is easily predictable that there’s no rain or snow at all. Local friends here said the snowfall is usually happen in late January. I hope this year it falls a little earlier so that I can have another chance to play with the snow and build a snowman.
