I feel like home!!!!

What a feeling today... Got up in the morning ( was it really morning? hmmm..) to the sound of rainfall!! At first I could not believe it. The exact same thing happenned like last weekend. RAIN!!!

Indeed, it was raining again today. For Qatar standard, I would consider it as heavy rain. For Malaysian standard, it was probably nothing.... However, it was slightly heavier around solat Jumaat time..

In fact, there were deep pool of water everywhere especially near Al Bayyan Gardens where I normally go for solat Jumaat.. It was quite deep really. I was lucky. I did not get stucked in the pool of water. Else I would have spoiled my car engine..

Thanks to the rain... I also realised that my Skoda's windscreen was not fitted properly when they replaced the windscreen long time ago. Traces of water & wet interior clearly visible near the driver's side..At 1st I thought I forgot to wind up the driver's window last night. Then I realised that all windows were properly wound up.. A good reason for me to send the car to my Transport Department for service..The rain did make me felt like home today. It would be perfect if the flash flood was also there, just like in Kuala Lumpur... hehe..

2 extreme weathers in 1 hour

Got out from house a bit late today. Sunny day with temperature around 25 C. It is nice to have that kind of temperature, a very pleasant temperature to do a bit of walking.. I also managed to take few shots of pix on my way to office. All around Doha, we can see all kind of flowers with nice bright colours. Almost the same feeling during summer in UK... Next question - Where are the tulips?

It is completely different story when I reached the start of highway to Ras Laffan. It was all foggy with visibility dropped to 100 meters. At one point the visibility was only 50 meters. The temperature dropped to 20 C!!! Feel like in UK during summer again. We could see some cars pulled over for only one reason-SAFETY. Only near Simaisma exit the fog was clear. Manage to get few shots while driving...hehe.. Some experience people told me that it would get worse during peak winter... Interesting. We never thought of such kind of weather situation in Middle East. How ignorant of me. How could we never learn such thing in our Geography lesson at school?
