MONSOON season!

( @ elen's apt, and me own room! )

It’s now monsoon season, where the heavy rainfall during summer over Southeast Asia. And yes, for someone who’s got an F on his geology, Jakarta is one of the cities included in the area. And I’m living in one part of the suburb of Jakarta, well known as flood district.
It’s now not yet flood in my so called ‘district’, but rumor has it that in Bogor, it’s flooding everywhere and the dam there could not bear anymore water and they opened the dam gate, so in probably 4 hours from now, the water’s going to flow heading to lower part (which is suburb area, which is my area!). it’s 7.27 pm, and the “water” will “arrive” here around 11.27 pm! Isn’t that a pleasure!
I have experienced flood like 5 years ago, it’s thigh deep flood inside my house, and all the stuff from 1st floor fortunately already moved to 2nd floor, so all the family lives in 2nd floor. And for 6 days, there’s no electricity running! So no air-con! It’s a disaster!
Back then, we have this place to stay at the mall (my brother open some games arcade place in the mall near house), and since both our cars been engine-flooded, we have to walk from our house to the mall with flood everywhere! Yea it’s close by car, but by walk it’s horrible, especially with dirty water on your legs! Me, my sis fang, my sis due and my auntie back and forth from mall to house everyday for 3 days cause on the 4th and 5th days, there’s this rumor of a crocodile running free in the water, so our mother tell us to take ‘boat’ in the road! Picture it! It’s hilarious! And so for my dad and mum, they stay at home, they feel more comfort staying at the house than the mall.
Escaping that certain condition is overwhelmingly great! Especially the part where the lights on! I’m not hoping the situation will have a ‘re-‘ apply! Certainly not now! Lets just hope the water go somewhere heading sea or that we have a great water-pumps to ‘deliver’ the water back to where it belong, the canal!

Lots of Love
