awake to the sound of monstrous lighting strike
which made the sky seem so white
and sound as if world war III happened
right at my backyard
the sound of the wind terrifying
and the heavy pouring of the rain
combined all those element, its like nature own orchestra performing
though it's the disturbing type
but i end up going back to sleep
despite the abnormal phenomena
Morning
Was shaken awake by my mum
apparently our house was flooded she say
i panicked as i left all my notes on the floor the night before
rush out of bed with that out of the world bed look
only to realise that my mum spooked me
the water level almost enter the house
flooding the entire porch of the house
i had the sense of relieve and annoyance
heard from my mum that when my sis waited for the school bus to pick her up
the water was at knee level outside
and my dad car almost KO-ed while fetching my brother to KTM
after the water resided to an acceptable level
followed my parents to their office as their office have a history of being flooded
and they need the extra manpower to become cleaners
saw a lot of car stranded in deeper flood area and their owner screaming at the phone
saw a few shop lot owners unable to go into the shop due to the major flood right in front of their shops
flooding their shop and goods
saw a lot of my neighbour, busying with their brooms and mops and bucket, using skills i never seen before
to clean up the compound of their house
saw massive traffic jam caused by everyone using the not so flooded route to work, 3 lanes become 4 lanes, car squeezing like sardines cans, honking like nobody business
saw school fields and basketball fields becoming on the spot swimming pools, flooding up to the knee level
saw school kids plowing through the water with their bag and books up high, trying to get into dry area while ensuring their bang and books are dry
saw school kids playing in the water as the school was forced to close for the day due to the flood
it took half an hour to get to the office, which is way longer than the usual 5 minutes
in the end there was no flood at the office, which shocked my parents but they are unusually happy
cause nothing was damaged.
scary flood, first time in my life i seen such a flood. ><
it's time for the state government to improve the drainage system here.
and for a bonus, the power generator at my housing area was totally fried by the flood, no electricity until backup power generating trucks were sent. but the power supply was super unstable. sigh.

Me: i see a river in front of our house
Mum: more like a swimming pool
Dad: it's just rain water and drain water.
Me and Mum: speechless.....
