i've been trying to put off blogging for quite a while because it scares me everytime i open my photos folder and see like 1000++ photos and i don't know which one to upload and where to start T___T
but now that it's raining outside, it reminded me of an entry that i actually wrote on a rainy night in Sydney.
- 8 March 2009 -
it was drizzling when we decided to head out.
we were cruising down the roads of Sydney's city slowly, the amount of rain fluctuated now and then with every few blocks.
soon, it turned into a downpour.
what a night to visit the harbour bridge.
after we parked, ju came out with the brilliant idea to use the car shade as an umbrella. the moment we jumped out of the car, both of us held on to the sides of the shade and hurried down the steps to the nearest restaurant that overlooked the harbour.

after we parked, ju came out with the brilliant idea to use the car shade as an umbrella. the moment we jumped out of the car, both of us held on to the sides of the shade and hurried down the steps to the nearest restaurant that overlooked the harbour.
with the huge shade opened above our heads, it looked as if we were parasailing...on ground.
the place ju chose was perfect. with only the restaurant upstairs operating, the spot where we decided to dock was closed and empty.
the shade we used was left on the table to dry while we were busy trying to snap pictures of the ghostly looking opera house and harbour bridge. by now the rain was so heavy it created a silverish silhouette around both buildings.
things looked so different at night. i was used to seeing postcards and visiting these places during the day that i had no idea it would look so captivating at night. ju said it lookes even more so because of the heavy rain.
the best shots i got with my cacat-ed camera during the rain.
the wind at the harbour was blowing so fiercely we were both splattered with rain. it was impossible to walk back to the car. there was a point where the wind blew so strongly that the shade escaped both our grips... and smacked ju squarely in the face.
i was still babbling on when i abruptly realized that ju's face was momentarily replaced with a car shade.
poor ju ju.
as we sat there and chatted, a friendly old guard came to check on us. he knew that we were stuck there because of the rain and allowed us to stay on until the storm blew over.
guard: "Not locals aren't you? Where are you from?"
me: "Malaysia! Have you been there?"
guard: "No no, not much travellin. What is it like?"
me: "It's a tropical country, not as cold as aussie"
ju: "She's not used to the weather here, and it's raining."
guard: " LOL! are you very cold??"
by now it felt like i was stuck in a freezer and every gust of wind stung my skin.
me: " It's cold. VERY." *shivers*
guard:" Aahhh...I know why.
huh?
it's because your boyfriend is far away from you."
and with that, he chuckled and continued his rounds.
what a heart-wrenching way to put it.
i like random conversations with random people. it gives you a whole new perspective sometimes.
i am feeling empty.
and i think i will be, for quite a while.
