Rain that did not stop
Sorry for the unclear photo,you can only see that the place is wet and not the rain but it is actually raining.It has been like this since morning and have not stopped since then.It has not rained like this for like about one week or so but today it is raining heavily.Although it has been raining for the past few days,it was not as bad as this.Many people are staying at home today as it would be difficult to go out in such a weather.Even my family is staying at home.My father went to Batam to play golf but now he is already back as it is also raining heavily there and there is no way he could play today.If you look at the roads today,there are not as many cars as there would be as the heavy rain kept people in their homes and make wait for the rain to stop.Unfortunately,the rain has not stopped since morning and by the looks of it,it would not stop soon.This kind of heavy rain made me recall the time when Orchard Road was flooded by this kind of heavy rain.Many people also had their homes flooded.Especially people living at the lower parts of Singapore.Now.people are more careful when it rains this heavily.They would put sandbags to prevent the water from entering their houses.The government has also made the drainage system better by putting some kind of barrier to prevent rubbish from clotting the drains.At Orchard Road,they have improved the system by putting in a drain that can be opened or close.This is to prevent Orchard Road from being flooded again.They are also raising the roads to prevent the roads from being flooded.Luckily for me,the drain at my place is very high and that will prevent water from overflowing the drains and flood the place.I hope that the rain would stop soon as it is getting cold...
