Little Red Dot Press - Raindrops keep falling on my head 19 Dec 2006

It is the time of the year, come December and January, the NE monsoon brings along its healthy dose of South China Sea moisture and lands upon the little red dot of Singapore.

The rain have been relentlessly falling on and off for the past three days. With the lunar first day approaching fast, memories of floods in previous years came erm.. flooding back.

With exceptional high tides, there were an outbreak of areas where businesses, cars, people and many more affected by the torrential rain.
The year-end news have never fail to feature

- stranded cars *frantic car owner overheard shouting..'OH MY MERZ!!!'*
- lifted skirts, sarongs and folded pants wading through knee-high water areas
- fallen trees *few squirrels seen scrambling away with their nuts as chainsaws burst into actions*
and last but not least,

citizens of this little red dot mourning and complaining...

This is your editor reporting, high and dry, from the Little Red Dot.
