Rainy Tuesday

It has been raining non-stop for the last 24 hours. When i woke up early this morning, it was raining cats and dogs. By noon before heading to work, the rain turned smaller. However, that didnt last long. Thankfully, i managed to reach my work on time. The road to my workplace somehow got sealed off due to a flood.

YES. FLOOD! The water level reach our knee cap. Roads were sealed off for safety reasons. This is the first time in my whole life that i see flood water reaching till knee cap. Car almost submerged in water. Road became river. The water just overflow from a nearby drain. Very bad.

A colleague of mine was tasked to do an assignment regarding the rainy season during the day. I was like laughing at him for not wearing a pair of swimming trunk. Retribution. By night, my boss decide to assign me to do a follow up. I was like erm... Nevermind. I went and it was an eye opener.

Wading in water at night was not fun. In fact, it was dangerous. Water level was pretty deep and i had to carry a large umbrella. Gosh, it was heavy. I was afraid i may fall into a nearby canal since i cant differentiate a road from canal. Halfway down the flooded road, i decide to make a u turn and walk on higher ground. If not, i would have drenched badly.

When i returned to office, my legs couldnt take it. I might be allergic to the water or something. My legs were like red and itchy. Fortuntately, it subsided. It was such an exciting night. I guess this is the first flooding incident i ever encountered. It is still raining at this hour. I hope it will end soon.
