A Sunny Morning

Right before I get into my car and driving to work, I took this down. A fresh and sunny morning in Ipoh. Anyway, you can never predict a downpour in the afternoon. It's close to the 9th month of Chinese Lunar calender. So, raining season is approaching.

Weather is changing fast recently. A clear day in the morning turns dark and bring thunder storm in the afternoon. Anyway, i do enjoy the cool day rather than hot sun.
