The rain has been really bad in December and early January, with several flooding episodes in Singapore.
Our flight back from Penang on 17 Dec 2006 was unable to land due to bad weather and turned back to Kuala Lumpur International Airport, where we awaited word from Changi Airport and watched the aircraft refuel.
I've never had such an experience before, not even when flying into and out of Newark Airport when it was snowing.
The perverse insistence of the rain has also cancelled several tennis sessions, though of course nowadays I don't play tennis because the floorball season is so demanding. And the rain seems to have increased the number of mosquitoes around.
Anyway, we had quite a fun, eventful trip in Malaysia, what with the drama of the return flight, and her dad's rental car hit by an unknown vehicle while parked outside the house.
We stayed a while in Ipoh, and watched quite a bit of HBO and National Geographic in the hotel room. Rain takes out the satellite TV signal; was watching the supernatural thriller Fallen and there were just a few minutes left when suddenly the screen blanked.
The rain these days has been insane.
