The flood was here again

It looks like super-heavy-rain-which-caused-flood-inside-and-outside-the-house always happens at least once in a year. October 2007 I wrote about When water turns into an enemy and October 2008 I wrote about Say Hi to Mr Flood.

This year, the flood came one month early which was on last Saturday. I went to Cambridge Mall with boyfriend in the afternoon, when the sky has turn extremely dark. Not long after that it rain heavily while we sipped our coffee and chocolate drink at Starbucks.

The rain haven’t stop after 2 hours. My Mum told me that the flood has come into the house and that it was impossible for my Dad to fetch us home. Flood here and there. Don’t even mention about sedan cause MPV like Innova also couldn’t go through the flood.

So, we were literally trapped at Cambridge Mall. Great! We had dinner and sat for few more hours before the flood had finally gotten better.

Long time no see, Mr. Flood! There was at least 5 cm height of flood in the house. Imagine how high it was outside there.

As soon as we got home, we boyfriend quickly changed and helped my parents in throwing the water away (to the bathroom, which is also the source of the flood in the house). Luckily my superman is here, else it would be me who did the task in above picture. But, poor him, had a body ache and sweat so much after that. Erm, see the bright side, it can be counted as fat burners although not an instant one. :D

Now, I’m just wondering (more into worrying actually) what if I am not here and my bro goes studying abroad, how does my Mum gonna handle the flood? Wait until the maid comes in the next morning? What if the flood comes on Saturday? The maid doesn’t work on Sunday.

Sigh.

    5cm ?? wow, that’s quite a bad flood. should do up some drainage system in the house so that the water can clear by itself when no one is around to help. wonder can this be done…
