Typhoon Wipha
Temperature: 24 c
Weather: cloudy
I should not be blogging today. I have solid reason for not blogging because it's my shift today and I will be working until the nightclubs close and the drunks start urinating on the streets.
But how could I not blog after knowing that some of you actually make it a point to read this blog every morning, or some even risk their lives reading this blog while driving (though I highly disapprove such habit, I am nonetheless touched).
So today I will talk about typhoon Wipha: the first ever typhoon I experienced in my life.
This typhoon Wipha has made a huge hooh-hah in Shanghai. You could read about it from the newspaper, internet, billboards and you could hear about it from the radio or TV. Typhoon Wipha is everywhere. People talked about it everyday. So I thought it must be a big thing, maybe something like Twister or some other natural disaster Hollywood movies. In fact it was so big that my father-in-law called me to see if everything was ok. I was not afraid at all and to the contrary I was very excited. Let the Typhoon comes, I will take it on! I suddenly remember a song by Scorpion: “Here I am! Rock you like a hurricane!” I was very pumped up to meet this typhoon Wipha.
On the 19th morning (which typhoon Wipha is forecasted to hit Shanghai), it started to rain heavily and the wind was picking up speed. But it was still manageable. I, with my barbeque stick umbrella, could still walk to office (though my Hushpuppy shoes were completely wet). Schools were closed due to the typhoon and some law offices, I heard, were closed too.
When I was in the office, my colleague told me the typhoon was going to hit Shanghai pretty hard at 2.30pm. “Shanghai will be like in the centre of this typhoon! You see the scaffoldings there? I bet it all will be blown away!” he said. That’s cool! My seat was next to the window and I got the best view when the typhoon Wipha launches its attack on Shanghai.
We waited patiently for the typhoon to come. Minutes and hours slowly went by and 2.30pm was just around the corner. The great show performed by natural forces was about to be witnessed by me!
Then 2.30pm came, no show. Then 3.30pm, still no show. At 4.00pm I was getting impatient, where was the typhoon? Why all I got was just rain and wind? Where was the destruction it promised? I checked the net and found this:-
Wipha missed Shanghai by 100 km.
Oh, how anti-climax it was! It's like watching porn movies and when it comes to the most interesting part, the computer hang and cannot be fixed!

Bro Stevo! Reading this blog while driving to work?! That’s kinda hard to beat! Unless someone comes up and says, “you know what, I read your blog while having sex!”

I m glad that Shanghai was not hit by the typhoon. But how can u be disappointed son, u know how many people are going to suffer if the typhoon struck . The TC people will be v busy in helping the victims.Yr. wife will get involved in relief work too.
Steven, pls concentrate in driving, don't make us worry about u. We love u so much, so u must love yrself to prove that u love us too.

Mum, if you read my comment without Niann's exaggerations, you will know i read his blog or surf the net in my car when there is a traffic jam only. He just got too excited and keep writing about it. Dun worry mum, I am a safe driver, i have not killed anyone so far.
The only blog i can think of right at the top of my head that'd have ppl reading during sex is probably Jenna Jameson's (with very little text) so don't feel too bad if nobody do that yet.
