ah! thanks gen! good to get my terminology right? is weather still too dry in singapore??? over here the snow has almost totally disappeared (yay!) :)
It just rained! Or rather, it's been a rainy few days! I don't think I've ever been as happy to have rain. My kids and I practically yelped in joy before we closed the classroom doors when the rain started. =)
