Heavy downpour early this morning created havoc with the morning rush hour traffic, causing massive jams and several accidents on the roads. We were traveling along our usual route to office and were caught in a massive flood along Orchard Road in front of the Marriot Hotel; the flood was raising fast and furious, 2 cars were stalled right in front of us in a slightly more than ankle deep pool of muddy water. We were hesitating (afraid we will be the third victim to be stuck in the flood) but buses and cars were piling behind us, horning impatienly. "Jia Lat liao, cannot reverse, die die have to proceed forward". Bo bian my hubby decided to swtich to manual gear (for more power); and step ultra hard on the accelator and woah whew!!! We were as if driving into the sea, big pool of water splashing high onto our windscreen, blocking out our front view, and fortunately we survived through and make it safely to our destination. What a ride.
