rain rain

today as usual, I headed for my morning lecture at the university. After lecturing for about an hour, it began to thunder and storm outside! There was hardly any point in trying to beat the sound of the roaring rain, so I had my students do some work while I walked around to check on their progress.

Anyway, instead of leaving straight for home...I was stuck with no umbrella. So we talked a little about their future plans and all. Most of them have not even thought about it. They are Sooo into enjoying their current lives, partying hard, having every expense paid for by their parents or a bank loan (paid back by their parents.) This is the current generation. They have little value for money, have no idea what hardship or responsibility is like. They just spend spend spend and have fun. Well, I kinda gave them a little lecture today, coz the results were poor. I painted them a picture of reality and that set some of them thinking seriously for they will graduate soon in a year.

Anyway.... yeah, after that, they went on to their next class, while I stood on the porch watching that torrential rain falling hard and quickly from the seamless sky. I stood there for an HOUR! What an hour. Finally, I ran to the car.... soaking wet. Thank God no students were around or they might have seen my "see through" "wet look" blouse and hair. Not very nice. haha..

It continued to rain the entire day till the evening...then I got out, with my camera again (a cheap one...I'm bugging my husband for a better one.) My garden though small, is a lovely place to be after the rain. The children love it too. Nel loves watching the flowers, Baby J loves plucking the flowers and throwing pebbles. :)
