Floods in Singapore... Ooh, nasty!!

I just saw this online - Singapore flooded today with cars stranded on roads which were flooded by rain water along the main commercial area, Orchard Road. Singapore has been experiencing unusually wet weather the past week.

On the other hand, Kuala Lumpur has been hot and dry. We could do with some of that rain in Singapore though.

    I would have thought flooding is more of a common occurrence here than over in S'pore..hehe. Oh yes...we could do with rain here.

  6. We had the same weather few weeks ago. No major floods though. Looks like all the water fell down, south!

  8. SK, the aftermath of a flood is seriously no fun, what with the cleanup and such. That must have been a first or a recurrence after a long while.

    Nina, thank you.

  9. Mei Teng, I know what you mean. I'll have to catch up with people I know in Singapore for updates.

    Looks like no rain in sight here in KL today. The weather is beeeeauuutiful outside. Being stuck in the office is not an option unfortunately, but I'll live.

    KS, are you kidding? More states would too. Oops!
