of chocolate massage and 97% humidity
i step out of a traditional javanese hut and find myself embraced by the smell of rain. When did rain turn nostalgic for me? It doesn't 'smell' when it rains in dubai, but here in jakarta the 'smell' is irresistable and makes me want to stay outside just a little longer despite the mosquitoes.
I wonder what makes the difference..is it because im in the tropics and the smell is merely of grass and leaves which dubai is obviously short of. I was from the tropics, the tropical island of Singapore and this rain reminded me of the many afternoons when i stood in front of my grandmother's yard watching the rain.
And then I remember my grandmother and how she has left us just a month ago. I hope my mum is doing well. I'd like to go back home soon.
