f.l.o.o.d

My 1st encounter with the recent sudden flooding that hit Singapore.

On leave and was supposed to fetch my students at bedok for an excursion to the Zoo..
Woke up in the morning and the rain was pretty bad.. thot that we could visit the Jurong Safra for their indoor playground instead of the Zoo..

And along the way to fetch my student, you can see that
the heavy rain is causing pretty big problems for our drainage system...

4 lanes beside Tanah Merah MRT changed into single lane due to the flood..
and i was damn worried that my car will stall.
And that's not the only roads flooded..
1st time driving in this condition and i tell you..
Its bad..
and to a certain extent, its scary..
sounds ridiculous but somehow i kinda have the tsunami kinda feeling when I drove thru the flooded roads...
Not a pleasant experience...

Heard from the radio that Boon Lay is also pretty badly flooded..
So ended up bringing the students to DTE instead..

Glad that they had fun at Xplore kids and when the sky cleared, was able to let
them play at the beach..

2nd atempt in this year to bring them to the Zoo... failed...

Photos will be up shortly...

On a side note, my 3month old Dell died on me..
Time to claim warranty
