rain rain

i was only an hour and a half into my sleep when i was awoken by sounds of a fierce thunderstorm. it was 6:30 in the morning, wind was howling through the windows and rain lashing down hard.

i didn't go back to sleep immediately because i was amazed by the ferocity of the storm. it's been a long long time since i've seen one so terrible and i considered going down for a walk in the rain but felt it was too troublesome, so i just sat by the window and watched the rain until it quietened down half an hour later.

i couldn't go back to sleep so i've been awake since then. shit.

anyway here's another story about rain, but this time it's about my cat whose name is RAIN, in case you don't already know.

the whole of last night he was staring at invisible things around my room and i could see his eyes following whatever he was looking at around. sometimes he went stalking it around the place and try to jump up at it but there's nothing there.

he started at around 8pm and at first it was still kind of funny in a sick way. my sister was talking to it (the cat, not the thing) "ay rain, what you catching? nothing there lah. you see ghost ah? siao!" he wasn't just jumping around randomly like a crazy animal, but was stalking it like when he normally stalks other prey like insects and lizards BUT THERE'S REALLY NOTHING THERE.

but he went on the whole night, and it wasn't really that funny anymore when i was watching soccer at 4am and he was still going at it. he finally gave up/ got tired/ the thing went away at 5am and went to sleep in his basket.
