Out of nowhere, the rain poured down in what seemed like bucket-fulls. Just two minutes before, it was clear skies (albeit a humid night). Visibility dropped to about 10-20 feet. Singaporean weather can be so fickle!

Check out how he just attacks his food! Must’ve been ravenous. Such a funny and awkward creature. 😛
