Just finished some work and it's now lunch time. Thought this would be the time to put up a new post in the blog.Yesterday, the rain was pretty heavy and lightning was striking like crazy. What surprised me was when I read today's paper that apparently the thunderstorm flooded several main roads in KL. The Star has a good photo on its front page of the flooded Jalan Sultan Ismail. To think that I used this road everyday when I was working at the old place. Read "Storm wreaks havoc" in The Star.
Strange to have these kind of things happening in KL. One would think that the authorities would already have some sort of planning to tackle the flash floods that occur after a heavy downpour. [This time I chose the right word, read Dubya Speak below]. There is a saying as we know, "once bitten, twice shy." Apparently, this is not the case when it comes to flash floods.
Maybe Jalan Sultan Ismail should be renamed Sungai Sultan Ismail everytime it gets flooded.

teringat masa duduk di Mersing dulu. Banjir setiap 5 atau 4 tahun sekali di rumah saya.
Suka dgn banjir di sana, airnya jernih tak macam banjir dibandar-bandar besar. Jadi kalau ada ular yg menjalar, boleh cepat-cepat lari. Bila banjir, suka teman abah saya tangguk ikan keli atas jalanraya depan rumah kami!
Ah...the old days.
Saya dah update e-novel saya.Mungkin tak seheba karagan abang Kelana. Tapi kalau ada peluang, datang lah singgah ke blog saya.
Love is all around indeed.
I deliberately chose that title simply because of nostalgia to that particular period in Glasgow, when Wet Wet Wet topped the charts for God knows how long, and Four Weddings and a Funeral dominated the box office.
Anyway, you're right about no love being around if one is trapped in the flash floods. I remember a cartoon by Dato' Lat which depicts a flash flood in KL, where one of the characters said to the effect that all his life in the kampung, he has never experienced flood. Only upon moving to KL, did he experience one.
