It doesn't stop, does it?

The rain, I mean. It feels like the monsoon season is full on already, even though the US elections are just over (woo, Obama!) and the school holidays in Singapore haven't officially begun yet, and there's still the Deepavali and American Thanksgiving holidays to go this month.

In other words, it's still, only November.

I'm not ready for it to be December yet. Yes, yes, I know, the supermarkets are already playing Christmas music and selling panettone, and Watson's is selling Santa-Claus style Christmas hats. But how did we get down to the last 52 days of 2012 already?
