When some mornings are hot
And you cannot sleep
It's 00:49 am, Saturday early morning in my part of the world. I've been tossing and turning in my sleep and now I'm fully awake, cannot go back to bed. It's hot and I'm sitting, imagining how it would really feel to take a good dive in Wara Kolo (name of our river).
The icy cold water particles would penetrate every thirsty pores on my body, penetrating every membranes and sooth every longing cells. I could feel the cold sensation reaching my brain and every part of my being, driving away the heat and leaving me in calm suspension between the sand and the air.
I could see myself floating in sweet serenity, looking up to the stars, into the galaxies and imagin if it's cold up there too?
I could stay here forever, submerged in this tranquility for as long as my body can sustain me. But nay, I'm back to my reality, typing away as I hear dogs barking in the distance.๏ปฟ
The heat is slowly fading as my ceiling fan beats the air particles tirelessly while spin on full speed. Oh you poor fan, if only this house is kitted with aircondition you wouldn't work so hard.
But then, wait, did I hear water drippling at my neighbour's bathroom? Yes. Ok I probably need to have a bath too. Good idea ... and good morning to you. ๐

Puddle Jumping
I am sure we all had our different experiences of doing puddle jumping as kids, whether it be at a school playground as a game or by jumping a real puddle on a village road by stepping onto stones, dry land or whatever dry stuff that's available to avoid wetting our feet.

Fair Exchange, No Robberies
Dark Memoirs - Index There are at least two kinds of people in the world: those who write this half-arsed kind of intro to a story that looks to separate the rare and the norm, and those who realise it's an overused framing device and don't.

Scaling Smart: How Startups Grow Into Trusted Market Champions
Every thriving company begins with a sparkโa vision that dares to imagine a better way of doing things. For startups, this vision isnโt just a dream; itโs the foundation of everything from team building to product development. The most successful founders donโt keep that vision locked in their headsโthey translate it into clear, actionable strategies. This clarity helps unify the team, align decisions, and build momentum from the ground up.

Where's the Glory?
In breaking news, rehabilitated Republican Senator Johnnie Johnson (Pronouns: HE, HIM, HIS) called a press conference from the Menโs room of the New Orleans Louis Armstrong International Airport, Concourse B, across from the Ignatius Reillyโs Lucky Dog stand. The Senator had just returned from a sexual reorientation rehabilitation program in Memphis, TN after being publically disgraced at a Buckeeโs Truckstop restroom soliciting sex from an undercover cop three months ago. He is a founding member of the Reformed Christians for Christ, a conservative, pro-family and ex-gay advocacy group. In the spirit of being reborn, Senator Johnson invited reporters to marvel at his plans for a major remodeling of airport bathrooms.

Congratulations on TS Sibu!
Oh wow, I wasnโt expecting that smooth switch between the fantasy of where you wanted to be at the time, In cold wara kolo โ and where you are now. The fan working too hard, very nice personification and then the realisation of your neighbours water running, signalling your need for a shower hilarious and deeply relatable. I loved every bit of this ๐๐ฝ๐๐ฝ also congratulations on your 1 st place win under most subscribed to creators on this weeks leaderboard ๐๐๐ youโve got a new subscriber ๐ค

Congratulations on top story
Beautiful! I loved reading this piece! I can relate. I'm glad I'm not the only who daydreams like this. It's worse when the fan isn't working. That's when a bathe or a shower is your saviour ๐ I also feel bad for my fans sometimes. ๐
Wow! Kaya Back to say congratulations on your incredible TS๐๐บ
I hope you managed to sleep well after your bath! It truly sucks when it's too hot to fall asleep
Ah, the sleepless night vibes! Dreaming of Wara Koloโcold water, calm serenity, floating under the starsโpure bliss! Your fanโs a champ, but the neighborโs bathroom drip was the real MVP for that bath idea. Good morning, and happy cooling off!๐คโจ๐บ
