Water, water everywhere but not a drop to drink...

Friday 21st Dec.
Well, it hasn't come to that yet! Sincerely hope it never does tho! Yup, it's another season of floods. In the South, the East & now even the North!! Supposedly due to the North-east monsoon. But the North? The South? Yup, in the past, it has been an annual affair for the states of Kelantan, Trengganu & Pahang but since last year, Johore suffered too! And now, Kedah in the north is affected as well.

According to the Meteorological Dept, the worst has yet to come. A 2nd wave is forecasted to be on its way. Till 29th Dec. Due to the expected high tide. Let's hope and pray that all will be safe.

Weather here is sunny but kinda cloudy. Forecasted rain in the afternoon/evening. Hope not too heavy tho. Water in main drain outside is stagnant...bad. May signal a return of minor incoming water as before...

Lot 10 is quiet. Normally so. No visitors. No nothing. Routine. In a funny tho positive kind of way, routine is good.

Me? The usual. Actually did a small purchase in our local auction site after a seemingly long period of inactivity. Item is a Pixel watch. A new fad in Japan & HK. With a Jumbo Electroluminiscent display & an expandable coloured polycarbonate bracelet. RM45 + RM10 delivery charges. What those watches look like ( I chose a pink unit...for my other half.) :Supposed to have got it yesterday but that was a public holiday. Hari Raya Haji or Hari Raya Korban, as it is now called. Today is a Friday...weekend here...also an off-day for civil servants. So no Poslaju courier service. Gotta wait for tomorrow lo. Hopefully...

More importantly now is our worry of a health hazard. The on-going construction opposite is producing a constant dust content in the air. I mopped our floors yesterday morning and immediately after, the floors were covered with a layer of fine brown dust! What a waste of my efforts! Also our car has also a brown "skin" over its normal silvery surface. Not forgetting tho, one can just imagine the amount of dust in the air to have produced that effect. Wonder how much we had already breathed in...bad!

Unfortunately there is no cheap simple solution to that problem. Guess we'd have to tolerate all that comes with development for another 2 years. Housing project expected completion in October 2009!!

Wish us luck...and good health! We do need both! To survive...
