Most Singaporeans will have absolutely no idea what I'm talking about. Neither would I if I hadn't been caught in one last night. It simply means that the tide is so high, it causes flooding in low lying areas. Went to Big C to buy a blender - saw that the road, with its many potholes, was a little flooded. Little did I realize that within the hour, the whole road was totally flooded - more than ankle deep. Thot I'd try my luck ... it ran out and I drove my self into deeper waters. Blender went swimming (it was sleeping on the floor of my bike) while my boots went snorkeling! I was afraid that Joyce and I might just be persuaded to go swimming if I hit a pothole or if my bike stalled. Thank God neither happened.
It was worse than this...like I said, my boots went snorkeling!!
The waters did not subside this morning and many houses along the sides of the highway were flooded. Parts of Highway 1A were still flooded with murky, muddy, dirty, smelly water... my poor bike!
