The great silver lining is unlike other cities I've been to, even when it rains in Singapore, it doesn't do that for long. You'll get clear blue sky and this beautiful nimbocumulus cloud at 11 am, and half an hour later, water, enough to fill up the Three Gorges Dam in China, starts pouring and twisting your plants in the balcony left and right. The good news is, just like how it comes, which is to say very unpredictably, the blue sky will return just as fast, and you'll enjoy our sunny friend again.
