A Royal Sherry Cherry Trifle and Trusting the Weather

The El-Nino is easing its way into our region if it hasn't done so already. I can't imagine the heat we would be subjected to in spite of the rain that comes after an afternoon of intense heat. 

Right now, the hot weather is unbearable as it is.

The lone palm tree standing tall outside my house will give you an indication of what we are experiencing. Here's a picture for you to view. It was once a green and lush palm tree. How unfortunate that it is dying today

The poor tree once stood regal as the rest in the residential area. However, growing taller than the rest made it vulnerable to the direct heat from the sun.

Here's what happens. After the heat of the day, the afternoons are inundated by heavy thunderstorms. These thunderstorms cause massive flooding in some parts of Kuala Lumpur.

The dried palms then fall to the ground. Soon, this tree will be without any palms and have only a trunk to stand testimony as having lived once. 

The question, of, if it would fall on the cars parked by the side of the road or fall onto the rooftop, is quite scary to think about.

The tree will be cut down in a matter of days, and we shall be saved from the danger of having our roof damaged.

However, trusting the weather is quite something else, a predicament in fact.

On another note:

Congratulations to the newly crowned King and Queen of England. I found the perfect recipe for a trifle in the Independent News. You can find it in the What's New column below. If you do get the time to bake the cake, let me know how it tasted.

Au Revoir, Shobana.

Poetry is art, and art is subjective. You can tell this came sweetly from the writer's heart. It's been a long while since I've read actual poetry so it was a breath of fresh air. If you love personal poetry, this was a quick great read.
