The Start of the Wet or Cyclone Season. This is perhaps the hottest time of the year for Darwin (30-35c)with humidity levels at an all time high (pretty much like Singapore). But while the South prepares for Summer and bush fire season, we prepare for any impending cyclone.Lining the streets now are truckloads of 'rubbish' such as old sofas, TVs, bikes and even a stove top. The rationale for the clean up day by the council is for residents to tidy up their garden, tools and tie down any equipment as they are potential flying missiles/projectile in a cyclone. Obviously some people are taking advantage of it by clearing out their whole garage.
Its perhaps a coincidence as well that a letter from my Superannuation (CPF) indicated that I have not names any beneficiaries. You hardly think of such things in Singapore as we are so 'sheltered' but the last big one was Cyclone Tracy in 1974 which pretty much flatenned Darwin. You just wonder if the next one is due soon with all this global warming and odd weather talk.
Maybe a Will in the process too.... Cat can have my Global Knives, Serene can have my cookery, Kheng (the racer), Mike (Giant MTB).....hmm, I dun have much other possessions to give ; )
