nope i did not go to wild wild wet... but the experience i had today was "wild wild wet"
alighted at a bus stop about 6 mins walking distance from my home today at about 3.05pm.
it was raining very heavily, so i got stuck at the bus stop with a stranger.
so i stood and waited and waited, hoping the rain would stop soon
waited...
waited...
waited...
the next bus came along about 15-20mins later...
a woman and a secondary school girl from westwood i'd guess got down and were stuck at the bus stop as well...
the sec school girl borrowed the woman's phone and called her father to come and fetch her...
about 10mins later... her father came and fetched her home...
and so the three of us waited...
and waited...
and waited...
another 15-20mins later...
the next bus came... and an auntie and a rv girl got down... took our their umbrellas and left...
and so we waited...
and waited...
and waited...
the 1st stranger decided to go... but when the rain got slightly smaller (still a bit heavy though)...
and the two of us left at the bus stop waited
and waited
and waited
...
then when the rain finally got smaller at about 3.50pm, the woman decided to go and i followed soon after...
45 mins stuck standing at the bus stop... listening to the lightning strike over and over again...
even my hair was wet by the end of it while under the shelter at the bus stop -.- showing how heavy the rain was, that it simply came pouring down at an angle towards us in WAVES...
my shoes went from dry... to Damp... to... SOGGY >.<
i got from amazed at how the lightning could strike continuously, one after another, again and again... ... to shocked when a lightning struck super close to us that is was damit LOUD and i kinda felt like i could taste it... ... to bored at the end of it all...
during that 45mins, lightning probably stuck like around 40+ times... -.- so it was like one every minute...
zzz...
anyway... so the 6 minute journey home... was kinda like an adventure... rain pouring down on me... and i splashed around, leaping over big big puddles of water/mud... ...
ah well so that's the end of a very wet day...
seeya peeps :)
