Looks Ominous...
Looks like rain again....Contemplating whether to go to the gym tonight. Especially after getting stuck in the floods on my way home last night! Seriously! I've never taken such a long time to reach home on the same 'supposed to reach home in 10 minutes' route! I must've left the Mall before 8.30pm and only reached home around 9 pm.
Everyone was driving really slowly, saw a few cars stuck in the middle of the road, one car smoking whilst the driver kept stepping on the accelerator and the car not budging, a few cars reversing when they realised the road in front was just in too deep. I just kept following this car in front of me whilst we made numerous detours, but finally got stuck on the road leading from STPRI to St. Andrews. I was shaking a bit, but managed to not panic, since my dinky car was on relatively dry land. So I just parked my car and waited with everyone else, for the rain to stop and hopefully the water to recede soon. Felt a bit better when I noticed there were kids in the next car, don't know why, but, I guess we all felt we were in the dilemma together and gave each other silent support.
Unfortunately, this inconsiderate fool behind me just keep beaming his highlights every so often, almost made me blind, stupid A-hole! How the bloody hell is anyone supposed to move idiot! Obviously the cars in front don't dare drive through the god knows how deep the 'puddle' is in front of them. Then he resorted to blaring his horn. God damn it! Then everyone started reversing as it seemed the water on the road between SOAS and SMJA had receded slightly, so decided to do the same, but big bully driver in 'ok, so he is driving a 4 wheel monster' decided to show his balls and just drive through. (Huh! Good luck buddy! oklah.. I'm sure he made it through, but us mere mortals in normal height cars didn't want to risk it ok!!)
However, driving through the SOAS/SMJA road wasn't as easy as I thought, it was actually quite deep still, felt the water beneath my car, prayed to god my car wouldn't die on me, or float away or whatever, felt as if I was in a motorboat or something cos I can only see water! and waves! from cars coming from the opposite lane. Then the car in front braked a bit too quickly, to avoid water gushing out from this huge hole(?)on the road! Stepped on my brakes, but felt the car sliding instead, thought I was gonna hit the car in front! But luckily, managed to stop just in time. Only when I got on the road leading to the gas station did I feel relieved. Omigawd! What a drive!
And, oh yeah... skipping the gym tonight. It's pouring.
