I think this is the first time I am asking rain to go away... I love rain, I enjoy the drop in temperature that comes with it, I like to snuggle under the blanket. Well, I love my sweaters and jackets even more! But today, it is disastrous.
Orchard river? Heard of it?
We only have Singapore river but after today, we are going to re-write the history, today we have an Orchard river. Orchard road is practically flooded. I didn't witness it, but looking at the video posted in Facebook and pictures on STOMP, then I realized my office area was also affected this morning. Thanks to the 4 walls I'm working within, I can't even see anything beyond blocks of concrete! I came out during lunch and witnessed the aftermaths.
Traffic was horrible. Cars, bikes, lorries all lined up... slowly moving. There was half of a rubbish bin right in the middle of the road. The other half was laying some metres away. Not just one, but all the bins have fallen apart. What's worse - I saw the postbox laying flat on the ground... it is damn heavy and I wonder how strong the rain was to be able to move this thing?!
I like the cold, but I can't sacrifice Orchard road, can I? :(
