It's really dry in penang now. It hasnt rained in weeks...leaves are turning yellow, but not yet to the point that they look dead.
Instead, everything looks beautiful here now. Utterly beautiful. the grass in the fields are yellow...but it's not dusty.
it's just perfect. reminds me of California. The sunset's awesome too, it's not glaring anymore in the evening...but soft and orangey. the perfect sunsets.
Just how sunsets should be. And all the festivities...Chinese New Year's still in the air...red lanterns of all sizes hang from houses big and small, shabby and posh.
Thaipusam's around the corner...people are setting up booths and makeshift altars along waterfall road....the lights are amazing....soft hues that clash with bars of warm sunset dashing in between the huge angsanas that line the road.
it's a good time to be alive in Penang. I forget about work problems the moment I step outside.
Who would have thought would end like that

Oh my, are you tellin' me that it's autumn in Penang now? Autumn in a place like ours? lol. Of all the seasons in a year, I love autumn most followed by winter and then spring. Summer doesn't appeal at all to me whereas autumn....ah well, guess I'm just a romantic person at heart. :-)
hey! seremban's like that too for the past few weeks until it start to rain again last weekend and it rained every day ever since~ i too love the rainless fell~ makes everything brown and yellow~ a change from the usual greens~
I picture autumn when I read your post.
I can imagine the sunset filling the sky with crimson and gold,
Leaves of red and orange and brown
And some look like pure gold,
Fluttering down from the tress,
Carelessly dancing in the crisp autumn air,
they gently cascade to the ground.
Covering the earth like a warm blanket,
of brilliant colour and beauty.
I just love the colours of autumn.
Time then to sit on a rocking chair at the balcony and crochet. Ah, so blissful! ^_^
