Water everywhere!

Definitely the start of the monsoon season, otherwise why there were so much rain for the past few days. In fact the rain didnt stop pouring for 12 hours since this morning. And look what happen to our area.

The weekend started off brilliantly. We went to have dinner at Excapade Sushi in Kiulap, our fav japanese restaurant. Enjoyed the food as usual. Then the next night we went to watch High School Musical 3. Ayang is crazy about this disney movie, since the HSM 1 then HSM 2 and now HSM 3. So exam or not she has to go! Alot of people at the Empire cinema for the 7.00pm show but we were there at 5.30pm so its not too bad.

Saturday night was when the rain started, non-stop and its flooded again. Very serious condition.

This is the house along side the road leading to our house. Photo taken around 4.00pm when the rain stopped at last.


This is our road, full of water. Only the 4 wheel can get through. The normal cars didnt dare to attempt it. Might as well because it got stuck!

The fire brigade was busy helping the resident to pump out the water from their homes. These people stay in the lowest area of our kampong, so unlucky. Every time it rains heavily, they have to endure the muddy and slimy water in their homes. The firemen did a good job in helping.


Photo of our neighbours' houses. Theirs were the most affected usually. I dont know why maybe their houses were built slightly lower? Dont know.


The water at our front porch. It was really not so bad, the water was up to our first stair only, the cars were ok but i was still a nervous wreck.


This was our small back yard. Full of water and the plant pots were drowned in the flood!


Please no more rain, dont want the water to get into the house. It would be disaster.
