Hallelujah.. Alhamdulillah.. It rained!

Last night , the clouds that were looming in the sky for days finally burst open and poured down much of the anticipated rain. We 're experiencing a prolong drought and it would be good for the dams they say. There hasn't been significant rainfall for months and it was highlighted in the news that the water level at the dams were pretty low which inherently led to Level 4 water restrictions up from Level 3 in October....
It was drizzling in the morning so it seemed okay to bring dear daughter to her swimming class... but then it started to rain more and more heavily. A massive downpour occurred then it drizzled again...
Eid Fest was on today at the showgrounds. I told dh we had to drop by so that I could find a specific booth from last year's eid fest while kiddies could ride on a camel or go to the amusement park. We were there for a half hour or so when to dh and everyone's horror, the rain got heavier and heavier by the minute. People ran for cover and waited and hoped for the best. I think we were all stuck there under the tents with countless of other visitors surrounded by a sea of mud, paddles and streams of water...(Lecak habis)!! Anxious faces stared at the rain while some braved the rain or carried on with their business, eating or chatting. Dh forgot to bring umbrellas along to the booths so he finally decided to brave the rain to get to the umbrellas in the car while it continued to rain, cats and dogs style.. Still the rain was good for the dams though we humans were cold and soaking wet on this fateful afternoon.... really it is.
