Colleagues going to work
This is the volleyball court in between our apartment & the office
Our garden.... becomes a swimming pool for our croc. Look at tokoloshe's head in the background.
My feet... soaked in water. I was in the kitchen cooking dinner....It flooded for 3 whole days!!! The water level in our apartment rose to about 10cm in height in the wee hours of the morning.
Darling Juno had to save himself from the flood by climbing onto a shelf that could barely hold his weight up. We had to "rescue" him by carrying him onto a sofa. The poor boy was shivering in cold. He had no where to pee and do his business. He was voluntarily constipated!! haha.
We spent 4 hours cleaning out worms, dirt and mud in our apartment.... it was so back breaking. Norm even got bitten by a leech. That blood sucking thing caused his wound to bleed continuously and he had to wrap his feet in a plastic bag. What a sight it was.....
Those were the longest 3 days in my entire life. I wanted to go home so badly. I never imagined that I would get to experience such a thing. Afterall, Singaporeans are really blessed and the only natural disasters we see are on television. Now, I really understand what it feels like to be in a flood, going to bed with wet, soaked feet. One thing for sure.... I don't wanna experience the flood ever again!
Through it all, we still thank God for His protection over us in times like this.
