pitter-patter

Me: (groggily) hi, are u going to college today? please say no
S: yeah. i might go today , becoz it isn't raining. we have work, remember?
Me: really? (i peep outside the window) but prayed for a heavy downpour the whole of yesterday.
S: i know :(
Me: well, it could rain... so don't go
S: but i told everyone i'd be going if it doesn't rain
Me: BIG DEAL. DON GO. sigh.

one hour later

Me: i dunno if i should come. it has started to rain now
S: (in a small voice) i am outside college :(
Me: ok, i'll be there :

10 minutes later

Me: i am not coming :
S: why?
Me: i'll have to row/wade my way through the waters
S: :O
Me: ITS FLOODED OUTSIDE!!

sigh. i stepped outside, to open the gate and be off, i found my legs below my knees missing :\
knee-deep water. YUCK. i got drenched, despite the useless unbrella above my head. and.. when i hurriedly came back inside, i found one of my footwear missing : i went out again to see where it went. it was happily floating in the water. i tried to wade my way to get my shoe back. it bobbed up and down in the water and got neatly stuck on the compound wall 3 houses away. i saw the drainiage pipes broken. : i was paddling through ditch water, sewage and ........

after all, what do u expect? heavy rains.... low-lying areas affected..... and.......... NOTHING BEING DONE ABOUT IT BY THE AUTHORITIES.

our fish-pond is overflowing with water. i have to go every one hour and pour out a few mugs of water. poor fishes :( some swam out and died :( the blue finned ones especially. so many of them dead :(

i wish it did'nt rain this hard.. though i usually like rain.
and i prayed for a heavy downpour :( . i don't like this at all :(

mournfully yours..
me..
