Warning! Flash floods will be a norm till January!
Thats according to the weather forecast on papers. Yesterday, I was stuck in one of those flash floods in a car! Yup, I was DRIVING when it happened. Haha I always lament to my instructors that hopefully it will not rain when I am driving because I guess it will be tough driving on a wet road.
Ta-dah it happened yesterday and it was one of the worst flash floods so far this month. I was driving along Bukit Batok and Choa Chu Kang area when it started pouring. The rain was so heavy that I panicked. Haha it's the first time driving in the rain for me. The visibility was so low! I could only see the traffic lights and car headlights when I am near them. If a guy suddenly dash across the road, I guess it will be a hit-and-run accident already. I couldn't see anything practically except for those lights.
There were floods in those areas too but not as bad as reported in the papers.Phew! Otherwise I will be pushing the car as what some did.
My instructor threw me a challenge midway through - drive in such heavy downpour during night. No way!
Here's an interesting video about SU in school. Haha just 2 weeks ago our prof showed us the same video but with different themes. What he showed was Hitler talking about sg politics and something else. It's funny that the same video clip can be translated into different themes. These producers are good in "putting words into Hitler's mouth"!
Enjoy!

Ah! I want to get a camera so that I can capture nice shots in China and Taiwan!! But I am so broke now :(
Haiz...now that my phone is spoilt, I can't take any photos at all when I go there. Sobs :(
Anyway, exams are coming! Mine is starting next week! Argh I still have tonnes of readings to read and FYP report to do! FYP is so ma fan!
Wow Pandas are coming to Singapore!!
That's a great piece of news for today. I think that they are an amazing kind of animal, always cute and make me want to find out more about them. Finally I can see them again.
Anyway, I think that driving is fun...for now. So far I have been on the road driving around Bukit Batok area and even went to Clementi. I am still at the stage whereby trying to learn all the turns, overtaking etc. I like this stage. I guess next stage will be what I dread...the circuit courses and parking! But for now I enjoy driving!!
Today is 9 Nov and I am flying off on 7 Dec...less than one month!!!!
I am getting excited for the trips coming dec. I am excited to experience winter! I have not tried weather that is so cold yet. I can't wait to wear the winter coat, put on gloves and scarf and maybe pairing them with boots??
As for taiwan trip, I am excited about the food! I want to try their night market snacks!
How I wish exams to quickly end!
By the way, Christmas lighting at Orchard is up already! The lighting ceremony was on Saturday and the lights are beautiful, giving a cosy feel instead of the usual icy cool feel. But too bad my handphone camera did not manage to capture it well.
