Dining with Cool Breeze

Not only among friends, even the radio DJ’s are complaining the extreme hot weather lately. Anyway, we start to see some changes in the sky today. Clouds were growing thicker & darker in the evening. There were scattered showers at the outskirts of the city. One week ago at this same hawker street in Ipoh Garden East, I escaped myself from dining here (even though this is an open space) because of the warm, humid & windless atmosphere. But tonight, I can enjoy my dinner with natural cool breeze without sweating my shirt wet like past few weeks.
