banjir

It literally translates the word "flood".It's my first time experiencing it.Shu's home is near the river and it turns out that because of some construction happening downstream which results to narrowing down the river path,the river upstream would have some clogging up problems and that eventually results to over flow and it would coz flooding.

Shu's dad woke him up this morning to move the cars to the surau parking lot nearby coz the water level had gone up to the road.The water level was almost knee high and I think some houses were flooded.It's not a pretty sight.I cannot imagine how the owners whose houses have completed sunk under about a meter of water feel.

It's not clear,clean water that floods the area so everytime we wanna go to the cars at the surau we'd have to fold up our pants above the knees to walk through the water slowly.My mum is totally worried but I'm ok.I like water.It gets cold sometimes but the water is good.

I am a bit scared of what's gonna happen in a couple of hours time should the water starts flooding the house.Shu's dad estimates that we should start moving things upstairs at about 3am later.SO.......we just have to be prepared.

Shu's mum isn't so happy about the thought of the house getting flooded.She just did the flooring and the kitchen area.We were told that the last time this happened was back in 86.Nobody expected this to happen.Obviously,that means no one is prepared.With enough warnings,I did mentally prepare myself for this.Not that I expected or anticipated it to happen.

I hope Kecik and Fei Mao are alright at home.Mum called me up and told me that those 2 cats have been sitting at my room door and making a lot of noise even when the room door was opened.She said they expected me to come out and get them :( I will do that as soon as I get home........which is........most probably on either Tuesday evening or Wednesday morning.

I can't possibly get on an airplane in this weather.The planes probably wouldn't take off on time anyways.

P.S.: I love you,baby! >.<
