Back to work

I was caught in a 4 hour jam yesterday afternoon. This saw me arriving back in KL slightly after 8pm. Now the slow crawl was expected but the sudden heavy rain on the outskirts of KL just before the toll was not. What started as a dry and warm drive suddenly became a tough drive with minimal visibility. The reflector i.e. divider was one of the two markers I used to drive, the other being the lights of the car ahead. Everyone oddly enough wasn't going very slowly despite there being water leveling up to about 2-3 inches at most. It was a scary drive. Am glad to be back safely. And now, back to work. But first, morning mass because this is Lent.

Lent

Kinokuniya at SUria KLCC

 We're into the second week of Lent. Easter weekend is the 8th of April. Until which time, as part of the preparation of soul for celebration of Easter proper, we're not just meant to practice moderation but to grow spiritually closer to God. The materialistic aspect of moderation means no books usually for me. But as my resolution not to buy books came before Lent...so I've added some more to the list of penitential preparation. ( of a more spiritual nature )

A random shot ...shopping spree circa 2011

And when you forbid yourself from spending money on clothes, tis is when just about everything looks good and shouts out to you to buy it/them.
