oh for gods sake...
to answer ur question
i guess the rain really did Singapore a number on friday.
jams on every highway u can think of. i myself got stuck in a very
wonderful AYE jam.
u bet trees fall across the road in the rain. why trees fall down?
water moves soil. a lot. so if the soil is moved away from the
trees roots. nothing holds the tree down except gavity. so if the
cg is wrong...TIMBER!
. thomson rd must have had one tree fall down affecting ur 156
bus.
as i mention rain moves soil...naturally u've got
landslides at jln anak bukit entry to PIE. confirm whack services
74e 151e and 52 and 985 down.
landslide at Bt batok MRT tunnel
almost every bus service wd have gotten disrupted due to the
rain.
next question why the rain?
and why so much.
this phenomenon is called monsoon season. In most years the monsoon
winds blow over malysia...mostly pahang area. meaning above
us.
but somehow soemthing got screwed up in the climate for 2006-2007
possibly due to global warming or the slight el nina effect we;ve
got
the monsoon clouds n winds shifted downwards a few um latitudes
(pardon me if i used the wrong axis) and u see the clouds form easy
over our area and bring forth rain , johore, Singapore.
very fourtunately our singapore drainage system is very good
already. u see johore kanna flooded.
