Hello everybirdie! How is you today? You know Singapore has been seeing the heaviest of the heaviest downpour for centuries in the last couple of days. Also, they stopped using the word ponding because if they continue to use ponding for this kind of situation, a lot of people especially the younger generation which includes limpeh, will be pondering who to vote for the next GE.


Why oh why, despite our achievements for the last few decades, we are still unable to handle situation like this? Is it because we got not money to develop a good drainage system? It is because our sifu at see bay lor cannot foretell heavy downpour like this beforehand and warn cheng hu? Is it because there are more people now in Singapore and the tendency of littering increases which means the long gao gets choked easier? Is is because Commonwealth is very near Potong Pasir and that is why the under developed town causes the choke in the long gao in Commonwealth and thus the flood? Why? Why are situations happening in the 70s where we were less developed, still happening today?


This, you have to ask the long gao expert for limpeh is just a mechanical engineering diploma holder and no doctorate in long gao engineering. Ok, limpeh lied. Limpeh have a degree downloaded from www.download-a-degree.com.


If you, a Singapore who have migrated to Canada, have someone telling you that the below pictures are from different parts of Singapore, you confirm will say ball call leng air thai chee. But my friend, the pictures below, taken from http://www.straitstimes.com/breaking-news/singapore/story/heavy-rain-causes-flashfloods-traffic-jams-several-parts-singapore-201 are indeed pictures taken from different parts of Singapore on 5th September 2013.

Imagine you and your gf/bf come here to say i love you and you love me then kiss kiss touch touch while the rain was pouring. By the time you guys finished touching, the rain stopped and this is what you see in front of you, your would've thought this is the training ground of Leicester City Football Club.

Imagine you have a date with your gf to celebrate mooncake festival and you waited for her at her block while she was dolling herself up for the night. Since you know she takes a long time doing that, you decided to play Candy Crush while waiting in your car. 1 hour later you wait until you buay tahan and decided to go up to your gf's place to ask her faster. You open the car door. Its time to go Leng Kee to buy new car leow.

Imagine you work very very hard for years and have always dreamt of owning a Mercedes Benz. You finally saved enough to choot chia and you've just collected it from Leng Kee Merz showroom. You look forward to drive back to your neighbourhood and show off to your neighbours who always felt that you cannot make it in life. You turn out onto the AYE. You thought you have reached the shores of Phuket instead.

You favourite game show on TV is The Unbeatable Banzuke. You finally get to star in one. You also got reprimanded for climbing the fence and tried your best to attend school because you were taught that truancy is wrong. All the values you have learnt in school are washed down the drain with the flood on that very day because you were reprimanded for trying your best to go to school as taught by your teachers. The one that reprimanded these students should be jailed for 40 years and publicly caned in the prison canteen for doing that.


So, you gotta ask yourself why this is happening in Singapore. Do you hear this kinda thing happening in New York? No. Do you hear this kinda thing happening in London even though it rain throughout the year? No. Why then why, this is happening in Singapore?


Do you think you want to go through this kinda shit your entire life? Limpeh think you do. Good luck, limpeh's fellow country man, good luck and best of luck. Limpeh, limbu nor limpeh's kids are going to endure this kinda shit.


Moral of the story? Shit happens. Do something about it and cut the crap about saying what is not acceptable or find excuse why this is happening. It happened in Orchard road already, now Commonwealth area. Limpeh really hope that the next place will be the Istana.
