I'm only happy when it rains

Song by garbage

I wonder what happen to the band. They played this song when I was driving one day and then it started to rain, was it a coincidence? Irony ? ... Anyway I was driving up to Obek ( Auntie's) house to get food the other day ( nowadays my wifey don't have time to cook for me so we are paying Obek to cook for us ... the food is not bad - comparable to my mom's cooking ) when it suddenly rained like God's wrath on earth. Man, it was pouring! I slowed down to 20-30km/hr. It was like every 5 seconds someone would pour a bucket of water unto my front windscreen. As I was driving through the Science Centre road lightning suddenly struck nearby . It was so loud that I thought I felt my car shook.
I reached Obek house later than usual. By the time I reached there the mini storm already cleared. She gave a sad smile and said in Malay
" Look at what the storm did to my plants ... "
And she pointed to her collection of lovely Orchids and Bouganvilla plants that was stacked neatly in shelves at the corridor. Some were sort of damaged.
" What to do Obek ... the rain was falling fast and hard " I said
" Why don't you try to grow some ? " she said
" Been there done that .. but it didn't work out " I said with a smile.
I took the food, gave her money, gave Salam and left. She thanked me and went back to mend the damage to her plants. I drove back and saw some of the plants on the divider side of the road with broken branches. Well at least Obek's plants were not as badly hit as these 'guys'.
