What A Day!

Today I had made an appointment with a friend - to meet her at around 3.30pm.
After lunch, I decided to take a short nap. And right around 2pm, it started to rain cats and dogs. So i sms'ed her informing her that i might not be able to make it coz its raining very heavily - a STORM. But after around 45 mins she sms'ed back saying that she would wait for me. I waited for the darn rain to at least subside and then drove out.

As you might already know, when it rains the traffic gets really bad as the irrigation system here is kinda bad. So expect flash floods. True enough when I past the first toll, on my right the water has risen up so high that it had over flowed to one section of the road. So 1 lane was closed and only 2 lanes were accessible. Cars were crawling.

I made it there and this friend of mine is kind of a dependent sort. She doesn't drive so every opportunity she has, she will make that other person be her driver. Took to whereever she wanted to go and then grabed something to eat and drove her back.

OOOOO the way back was worse. Way way before the toll to my home, the jam has already started. Crawling all the way. After about 45 min of crawling, and as I neared the toll, on my right i could see those RELA officers and the fire brigade. And ambulances... ooo apparently the water rose up so high till most of the road was covered and i could debris on the road like wood, etc. i could also see a bunch of ppl... at the shoulder of the road, i guess they had to be removed form their homes due the rising water. Horrible day huh.

Without the Rain we suffer the hot and haze, with the rain, we encounter flash floods. There is just no escape is there.

I got home.... changed into comfy clothes and at 9pm finally able to catch the second episode of Take5 - USA. It felt good that no one is fightin with me for the remote - I could watch whatever I wanted. :P this is becoz my dad has gone outstation for a wedding dinner and the little brats have been shooed to the room to sleep hehehee..

Then I was surfing channel and saw that AXN - Amazing Race Asia was on.. ooooohhhh GREAT. Missed the 1st episode on thursday and have been wondering whther they have any replays, finally saw it.. wowowowowow
