Warning of a nightmare soon to come

June 13, 1997 (Friday)



At night heavy rain. That the outside began to flood with the drainage too small to drain away the heavy pour. The drainage hole is too small that a piece of PVC debris can easily block the flow of water.

Almost half an inch of flooded rain water on the outside. Before the water reach into the master bed room and sitting room, we tried to clear the drainage hole.
 Worst still, the light went off. This power failure occur occasionally in the city.

So I hold the flashlight while Shirley clears the hole.

We did not know this poor drainage system of our flat is a warning of a nightmare that will happen in a month time......... that our master bed room flooded but with water not from the veranda but with water sipped in from the inner wall
