| Jurassic Park??
|
This week has been an absolute disaster. Or so to speak. It’s been a really stressed week, packed with exams, work, assignments and news of oral… Ahhh… But it’s not like it hasn’t been like that before. Actually it’s been like that forever… But college is really a place where you have to fight to survive. It’s every man for himself and survival of the fittest. Which I am not. Anyway, it’s been raining quite heavily these past few days. The rain is actually quite consistent falling from about 2-3pm and stops at about 4-5pm. On Thursday, the rain was causing a jam in my usual route home so my ‘smart’ driver decided to take an alternative route. And wow… that route was like… flooded. I haven’t actually seen a real flood before, as in for my own eyes. Even though it was not very deep but let’s just say it’s up to the shins. So basically it wasn’t a real flood but it’s close enough. Anyway, it was too late to turn back so my driver just continued going. Frankly to say, I was quite tempted to open the car door and let the water in but that’s crazy. As we kept going, I saw some things that was really quite amusing. Even though it was flooding, there were actually people who were still outside in the food stalls with their pants rolled up, legs dipped in the water and enjoying the fried noodles or roti canai or whatever they were eating. On the other side, the water was blocked of by a small slope so it felt like I was passing through a small valley. But this valley had a lot of waste containers, rubbish and actually it looked more like a waste land. Though, there was something that made me feel like I was on the Jurassic Park river ride in Universal Studios or something. It was really amusing, really. And this is due to what? Bad drainage systems. Then again I think drainage systems are non-existence here. Such a pity. Those poor people who have to mop out their houses later and wash out the dirt. Thankfully my house is on a hill. Cheers ;P
