About 100mm of rain fell in the central parts of Singapore between 8am and 11am today. This was more than 60 per cent of the average monthly rainfall for June.
I was one of the many affected by the heavy downpour. At near lunch time, I heard my colleagues speculating why there was a traffic jam when they saw the immovable vehicles from their window. Then, at lunch time, we knew from a colleague that the whole Orchard road was closed. We couldn't go anywhere for lunch, so we settled lunch at the next-door hotel! A lousy day for those who were trapped in Orchard Rd but we, on the other hand had a good reason to enjoy our lunch. Because of the weather and ambiance of the restaurant, it feels like a lazy day. Wished I was snuggled under my blanket then! Some of my colleagues even had their external meetings canceled as there were no way for them to reach us.
I never thought Orchard Rd could be flooded. Lesson learnt: Never never take things for granted!
