KING TIDE FLOODS KUCHING!

Sunday evening, wanted to go to church early at 5pm, excitedly driving along the 7thstorey flat, i saw the water rising from their drains. i thought only tat area, but after the cornering to church, i saw water, at least 1 foot deep of water, St. Peter’s Church became an island ahah!. everyone who wanted to go for mass tat day left outside wondering whether theres still mass or not? HELLLOOO!!!? DUH!!! of cos la mass canceled, wad a bonus question.

i haven’t seen this situation for a long time. The last time was like wad 1993. where i wanna go to skool and went back eventually cos my school was submerged like i floor. seriously back then was great! yea my primary school was right behind tat church.

today , Tuesday 13 January 2009, is the Third day of the King Tide, prepare for this. evacuation? no need la i think…all depends on mother nature.

look at that guy walking in the flooding area, kepo? not? trying to help? maybe. look at how deep the water is? knee high… so about 2 feet or so.

and trying to zoom in as close as possible to see whether the water went in the church or not. not that much i think, hopefully. and again, its been awhile since i last saw. even the RHB bank area was flooding, some say it reaches half of the Proton Wira car and also the the Toyota Avanza parked there.
