Just a matter of an hour..

.. that it started to flood along Jalan Tutong. It started to rain around 7.20 after I reached Tamu Selera. While having dinner with my gang, it started to pour heavily. We realized that the rain wouldn’t stop, hence we went back early. On my way back home along Jalan tutong, it started to flood in front of the flat apartments at the Batu Satu’s traffic lights. Then it got worse when I went further down towards the Istana. To make things worst, it was still pouring so heavily that it affected my vision on the road. And I actually missed my junction! Hahah!
Had to u-turned back and im glad I did, cos I was able to see how deep the water level was in front of my junction as a car was making its way towards my area too. The momentum of the water was like the flow of the river. I couldn’t believe my eyes! There was smoke coming out from the exhaust pipe of the car in front of me when we were moving up the slope! I have no idea what that supposed to mean. Water in the exhaust?? Engine not functioning well??

After reaching home, I then feel secured since my place is located uphill. And its pretty safe there. It also took me a while to settle down and feel my legs again. It was shaking the whole time when I was driving back haha!! Scared Die Me (SDM)!!!

First thing we did when we all reached my office this morning, we talked about the rain last night. I came to know that there were landslides along jalan tutong and the four lanes became two lanes only due to the mud. It was flooding at places, so bad that half the car was submerged in water. Luckily my brother managed to escaped the water and went back KB home to sleep. He cant make it back to his place due to the flood. I called back home to see whether it was flooded in KB last nite. Apparently, it didn’t flood last nite, but flooded during noon time yesterday.

This morning when my colleagues were on the way to work, they happened to came across several accidents. I was told that it happened due to the slippery road that was caused by the flood.

I dunno what else to do but to hope that the rain will stop today. No more landslides or flood please! =( And I guess im staying home tonight if it rains! SDM ahh!!
p/s: sorry no pics cos i was busy concentrating on the road!!
