And so it must have been a great blessing to me that afternoon when it began to rain at Lake Kenyir.
The timing of the rain could not have been more perfect! My friend and I had just returned from our bird watching trip and we had enjoyed a scenic walk along Lake Kenyir from Pengkalan Gawi.
We were lucky it didn't rain sooner or we would have gotten all wet!
Once we returned to our comfortable chalet, I called up the Ulik Mayang Spa to book for our massage. I had thought of going for the massage before we go for lunch, but unfortunately, they could only schedule our massage at 2pm, which was about 2 hours later.
I was not really hungry so we decided to rest for a while after all that walking in the morning. I thought it would be nice to just relax at the balcony overlooking the lovely lake!
I wished I had brought along a book to read! My friend was obviously immersed in his book as you can see from this photo below.
Sorry I have to blur his face as he insisted on keeping his identity a secret. Haha! Just like me : )
And then, all of a sudden, the skies opened up and it began to pour! Hooray!
My friend went inside to bed for a short nap. I could not blame him. We woke up at 6.15am that morning remember?
As for me, how could I miss the rain? Although I must admit it's nice to be sleeping in bed while it's raining outside!
I decided to sit there by the balcony and just enjoy the rain. Thank God for the rain!
Yes, those are my legs and trust me, you will get to see more of them in my upcoming posts, haha!
No words can describe my happiness sitting there looking at the rain and feeling the wind blowing and listening to the sound of the rain falling. It's so relaxing I could feel myself dozing off.
Of course, before dozing off, I made sure I took some photos of the rain!
And for those of you who followed me on Twitter, you would probably remember I tweeted about the rain in Kenyir. Read it here.
While my friend slept, I was practically tweeting away on my handphone. Haha!
I didn't really need a book, I just need my handphone. LOL!
OK, in case you are wondering why there are two almost similar pictures here, well, the above picture focuses on my legs and the picture below focuses on my handphone. Haha!
I did doze for a little while and before I knew it, the rain had stopped and two hours had flew past.
I really missed that rain but I guess all good things must come to an end. It was time to wake my friend up. I did not want to be late for our massage!
rain rain go away.
oops you like the rain? I love the rain when I'm at home and not in the rain..haha
So how's the horse-kill-chicken (massage)[ma-sak-chi]? coming up next post?
Careful I can see the reflection of your face from your handphone!!!haha
So I heard that in Asian countries, it can rain instantly and then it goes away as quickly as it comes. That's pretty interesting, can't really imagine how it feels like to be walking on a sunny day and all of a sudden, the sky pours. I was told it's very common in Asian countries. I love the rain too but the rain in San Francisco is typically fierce and windy. In other words, you're almost guaranteed to get sick if you walk in SF's rain.
Love the raindrops picture.
p/s: we dont want to see your legs. we want to see your face. Hahaha
We all love the rain (minus the legs).. Haha..
Show us the face. Not the legs! :)
Rain is good. Especially when it's hot. But not when it's time to leave the office. Can cause havoc on the roads.
i don't like rain, i seems like very gloomy to me.. instead i love sunshine day, more energetic and vibrant!!
yeah, i agree with Mei Teng!! show us your face, not your legs and hairs.. :p
i think the chalet is nice and cosy.. i would allow the exception that i sit on the balcony reading a book on that rainy day.. :)
.. and like your friend, i think it's even better to take a nap while it's raining out there.. hahahaha!! :D
Cheh.. when Cheah said he can see ur face on the reflection of ur fon.. i went n scrutinize it... nothing pun!!!! aisay...
cheahs@n, I love the rain when in the home too! Definitely not when trapped in a traffic jam!
Reflection? Haha! I already checked that before I posted the photo : )
rose belle, yes the rain can come suddenly here in Malaysia, but most of the time, we do get ample warning, like dark skies and rumbles of thunder. San Francisco's rain is that fierce? Better not get caught in the SF's rain then : )
che-cheh, glad you like it. Want to see my face? Haha, that's impossible! : )
daniel, sorry about the legs, but more legs coming up! Haha!
haha..twitting is fun eh?
nothing to do, tweet lah! =P
kenwooi.com
mei teng, show my face? No way! The best I can show are my legs, hehe.
Yes, I dislike the jam caused by the rain! But I don't blame the rain, I blame the jam! : )
SK, so you are a sunshine person, eh? Well, I like sunshine too but I also like the rain. I adapt easily, haha.
Want to see my face? Meet up with me. Since I treasure my privacy, my face is not allowed on my blog. Meantime, the best I can do is show my hairy legs, haha!
merryn, haha! Of course I checked whether can see my reflection there first before putting it on my blog, what do you expect! LOL!
kenwooi, haha, you got that absolutely right! Nothing to do, tweet lah! : )
When you are about to doze off while enjoying the rain and the wind you did not take a trip to the "Tree of Souls" in Pandora? haha
Nice pictures of the rain and leaves but not the two tree 'trunks' on the coffee table. lol
You only sign up for Twitter recently, but you're already hooked on to it.
Looks like I have been left behind...
Yeah I also love the rain but I don't like the rain in city....The streets become muddy and the crowd in the city...yuck...I love rain in my village where there is greenery and I can happily watch it from my window.
Thanks
TC
Oh here comes the rain! Ahh I don't think I could focus on my book if it was raining either... it's too tempting to go to sleep!!! LOL
damn, i love rain and this place is totally awesome bro!
i like it so much.
so romantic, indeed.
a good place to read a book too. maybe i can take 7 hours for 700 pages? man!
I don't know, Foong, on a holiday, I don't think I like it raining. I feel it's a waste of time having to stay indoors. Basically, I'm a sunshine girl.
Taking a nap on a holiday is also a time-waster to me. I might as well sleep at home. Oh well, you didn't have a choice, I guess.
Btw, nice pictures of the rain.
hey i looked out from the window, it is really dark and going to rain soon. i feel even more sleepy after looking at yr pics :( *yawn*
The rain is only as good if you're indoors and sipping a cup of coffee! :D
Can't remember when I was drenched in the rain though we get plenty here!Still, good to be indoors.
i would prefer to see yr face that legs! hehe..
didn't play in the rain? :D
aiyah! So many hairy legs in one post! LOL
rainy days + a quiet day in my bedroom = heaven. :)
bananaz, haha! I did not know about Avatar at that time.
The trunks are supposed to add interest to the picture, LOL!
khengsiong, well it's never too late to join Twitter! : )
neo, don't like rain in the city? Well, I don't mind as long as it doesn't flood! : )
iamthewitch, haha sleeping during the rain is bliss! : )
faisal, yes it's an awesome place. You should go Kenyir and read your 700 pages book : )
happysurfer, yes usually I don't want to stay indoors during my travels too, but at Kenyir it's different. I'm there to relax and relaxing at the balcony seems like a great holiday to me! : )
xin, haha go to sleep! : )
lydd, well a cup of coffee sure makes it even more enjoyable! Haha!
keats the sunshine girl, plenty of rain at your place? That's nice! : )
wenn, I know! Everyone is saying that, but I think I can only show my legs, haha!
lina, not this time, haha! Prefer to sit on the balcony and enjoy the rain. More hairy legs in my upcoming posts, so be warned, haha!
I agree with you : rainy day + quiet day in bedroom = heaven! : )
lol you and your rainy affair xD

Yeah! Luckily you guys are not caught in the middle of the rain right? But even if you did, I know you wouldn't mind at all. LOL :D
Warrr.....asked people to massage you heh??? So how was it? How was their service? :p
Yeah! It will be nice too if I can be there enjoying the scenery. :)
Hahaha :D War...so you "boxed" your friend's face lar? Yeah! he must have enjoyed it a lot huh. But if I were you guys, I am not going to read books. Not at such a beautiful place. :)
Why would you wanna show us your legs? hahaha :D
Awww....it poured huh. I am sure you enjoyed every single moment of it right bro? Why didn't you play in the rain?

tekkaus, what has rain got to do with MC? Hahaha! Oh yeah, she has a song called Through The Rain - now I remember, but that has nothing to do with me liking the rain : )
Will talk about the massage in my next post : )
Actually it's nice to read a book at such a beautiful place! It's also nice to tweet. LOL!
I showed my legs to compensate for not showing my face, hahaha!
Go and get a more "canggih" phone and start tweeting on it! Haha : )
benbes, then you will like Lake Kenyir! Go and visit there : )
bengbeng, yes you are absolutely right - that's another reason why I love the rain! : )
Beautiful Place to enjoy time !! Even i would love to see this place with my own eyes and for sure at the time of rain only !!
This is the place where my friends and I wanted to go during our roadtrip but had to cancel due to time restrictions.. Now I can know the place better, thanks to you! :)
Happy belated 2010, Foongpc! Great to be back here again.. :)
