Flood Friday

Again my Jakarta was hit by the flood. I was helpless and stucked for morethan 5 hours inside the car on a toll way.Lucky the car was high and filled by petrol so i wouldnt be so worry if i got stucked in there. It was 4.00 pm in the afternoon when i left my office early than the usual working hours. Really i dont care anymore as i need to do my examination which was re-scheduled on that day. I rang up few friends n some of them got stuck at University so i forced the car to go near by at least to picked up what was left there. In a very struggling n tiring hardship I nabaged to get in there. The power station in some building was off, so it was making it worst. I kept going n left the car on the road which was quite safe from the water because it was almost reachin 40 cm high. I fold my pants and started to walk. Finaly, gosh....it was worst!!!!small flood has hit the campus quite bad. After trying to sorted out few things with campus i ran back to the car and quickly find a way to get out from that area.

That moment i said to myself i must entering the exclusive area which was taking me 2 hours to get there than the usual time because of the traffic as it is normaly only take me about 15 minutes. At least that area is very safe and cant be flood in there as i know each of that housing complex owner paid some amount of money to suck the water and spill it somewhere else (really this housing complex is lies on the flood area). I was hungry, cold and wanted to go to toilet. Really it was almost like 'armaggedon' and all the chaos and panicking people brrrrrr. I keep praying that God will safe all of us. I was so lucky as the car was able to pass the water which was keep increasing in numbers and i finaly got into that area.....so relieved.
I know one fine restaurant just in the corner of the street for us to fill ourselves and to have little rest. After some moment we spent there i decided to go back to Mom's house which is takin me at least another 2 hours but again i was so lucky i pick the right road as the road was clear and traffic was not so bad so i can get home early. All the tiredness was all washed away as soon as i get home. But someone' must do something this situation really kill us. This cant be SEASONAL EVENT!!!!!!
