Raining, Raining, Flooding...

It's been raining, raining and flooding, in urban Singapore.

Yeah, in Singapore that was believed to be well-equipped with full island drainage system, 15 Reservoirs and a Barrage. It was unbelievable to many friends abroad that our city area, the Orchard Rd was severely flooded days ago!

What's worse, our government argues that Singapore is not flood-proofed; not unless we want half our roads taken away to built canals!!?? Then reproving Singaporeans of wanting everything to be perfect.

Today, it was heavy raining with strong wind; we avoided the city area, braved through the flood prone zones and reached Commonwealth for some warm dessert.

It was drizzling lightly as we drank... We wondered, if there'll be flood news tonight, or of more trees falling and killing...?
