ONE UNUSUAL DAY

9th May 2007 - Wednesday, Melaka, today was an unusual day. I woke up early in the morning and drove to work. My working place was roughly 10 miles away from home in a secluded area called Durian Tunggal. It was a rural area surrounded by thick forest. The sky was clouded and shady. Some how I could sense something was different. The weather outside was calm. The air was freezing cold. Everywhere along the road to my office was covered with fog. Not a slight wind could be felt blowing neither the trees nor the mist to move. Way too calm. Nevertheless, I proceeded my way to work.

At 10am, things begun to changed. The sky turned dark. Suddenly strong wind was blowing mightily. Rain took place and soon turned into a heavy thunder storm. Clouds were seen covering all over the eyes could ever perceive. Work at my site suspended due to the heavy downpour. We could only proceed with the internal works. At late noon, the rain slowed down but drizzle until evening. On my way home, as expected, partly of the path already flooded with rain water as high as 1 foot. I drove my way across the flooded road. When reaching my home, the water level around my area had reach critical level. If only the rain continues for another hour or two, definitely my living home will be flooded.
