Phew! The heat! What’s happening to the weather? Raining the whole afternoon. The Federal Highway is flooded in certain parts. After over two hours of “all hell broke loose” type of heavy rain; there seems to be no letting up. The rain clouds are in their element. They seem to have re-stocked their rain, with plans to continue this “throwing on water on us” and no plans to end.

Burrr! You’d expect the temperature to drop to a level that everyone will feel comfortable with. But (not “however” in this instance) nnnoo-oo-oo-o! Guess again.

I think humidity was at one of its high levels as it made being outdoors really (to emphasize the next word. Not bluffing😂) uncomfortable. Or maybe, it was the haze. The weather bureau over the last few weeks has been reporting the air in various towns, including K.L., P.J. and Subang Jaya, has been at unhealthy levels.

Jeannie needed to have an errand done at Mid-Valley Megamall. We got to her appointment a few minutes early, waited a while, then got the errand done. We decided to go to Burger King for a fast meal.

I donned my Gatsby (1) cap today. The Gatsby was commonly used by the Europeans and Americans in the earlier part of the 1900s. Now, it is used more as part of dresswear or a fashion statement.

The decor at Burger King seemed to have matched my attire. Shirt, pants, bag, cap😀

I had my usual Whopper set and Jeannie had a chicken burger set. I have always loved their fries, especially with the skin still on the potatoes. The fries come in a nice decent size, unlike those longer, twig-like size, plasticky variant; that other fast food joints serve. Now, the Burger King fries are skinless – I wonder why. However, the delightful taste is still there. Yellowish, lightly browned, the fries here are good.

The meals at Burger King, especially their Whopper, are good. Always freshly prepared, their food is good. I have no idea why Jeannie always pronounces “whopper” as “whooper” and I always have to correct her pronunciation. Sometimes, I think she pronounces “whooper’ just to rile me. She knows I will correct her pronunciation instantly. Haha.

We had a nice, relaxed, fairly laid back lunch. Enjoyed, it.

Every time we, Jeannie and I (the Batik Influencer and the Hatted writer) come out, we look out for new happenings, new things. It is interesting to note that no two days are exactly alike. Now, to exercise by window-shop sightseeing. First stop, hats perhaps?

NOTES:
1. The most noticeable distinction between the newsboy or Gatsby cap and a flat cap styles is that newsboy caps are rounder, puffier, and look a little baggy. Unlike a flat cap, which has no bagginess, a newsboy cap is sewn together from the top of the hat creating eight panels. A newsboy cap is often called an eight-panel or gatsby cap. The flat cap has a longer, stretched out front.
