splash

"here comes a big one"
the two half-crouch, anticipating the approachinbg juggernaut. it zips past them, causing shockwaves of water in its wake to come at the two. with precise judgement and stupendous athletism, they leap high into the air, expertly avoiding the treacherous waves.

but that was not to be

"wah shit big one big one lai liao lai liao"
the lumbering bus speeds towards them at break neck speed, parting the puddles and conjuring up waves of dirty water that swallowed pavements. as the waves approached, the pair hopped meekly into the air, trying in vain to keep dry amidst all the splashing and slushing, much to the amusement of the passengers in the passing buses.
"nb ccb kena already la"

and that was the story of how xide and i
tried to keep dry

trapped under the overhead train tracks
at bt timah,
the rain poured down as curtains on either side
soon, the roads began to flood with water and traffic
which inevitably led to vehicle-splash-man
xide and i cowered under the shelter of the bridge
jumping over every splash that came our way
xide cursed the living daylights out of the undead
while i, being immensely cultured,
kept veeerrrryyyy quiet. shhhh.

all was bleak
until xides maid,
in an act of splendid initiative
and armed with not one
but two umbrellas
found us in our miserable state

xide said it but i'll say it again
give the woman a pay rise man
