Yeah, at the time I am writing this entry, I am writing from Labis, Johore. Its a small town stranded between Cheah and Segamat. Does Segamat sounds familar to you? If you have been following the news, yes this is one of the towns in Johore having very severe floods. Even my PILs who wanted to come back here on 21st Dec have problems coming back as the rail service had been terminated and the buses simply couldnt cross over due to the floods. So you can imagine how bad the situation is. They had to make their way back to Singapore and only able to come back the next day after they called up the bus company confirming that there are buses. We also almost couldnt make it here as well as some areas of Yong Peng were still having floods then. It was only passable recently. Plus Spore was also pouring heavily at the time we are setting off. We were quite hestitated at first but knowing our character, we wouldnt give up something we have already planned for, so we decided to set off anyway..
So yes, we are here finally. But it has been pouring on-off that we have to cancel our trip back to Sitiawan which is meant to celebrate hubby's maternal grandmother 80th birthday! ;'( FIL is worried that we will get stuck in the floods and couldnt get back to Singapore on time to return work so for safety reasons, we better stay put. I hope grandma wouldnt be too upset about it...
Anywayz, thanks to the flood. We cant go anywhere. Malacca was affected by the flood so we cant go there for the famous chicken rice or shopping at the Jusco. Tungkat was affected too so we cant go there for the famous beef noodles. Segamat, which was our main source of entertainment was also out...
If you wonder what we have been doing here on this small town for the past 3 days....
Day 1:
Driving around the small town. Part of Labis was also caught in the flood. So we drove around and kaypoh-ing to see how bad the flood was and whether they have cleared up the debris.
Day 2:
This is the only adventure we had so far. We drove to Segamat and visit PIL's friend. Her house was flooded (heard its about 5ft tall)so now she's busy clearing the debris. We also drove around Segamat to witness the "after-flood" situation. It was like a war-torn area.
We bought a mini-pool for Trenyce sometime back at Jusco, so we had some nice time playing water with her.
Day 3:
We stayed at home the whole day. I suppose Trenyce enjoyed the most today. She had some painting time with hubby in the morning then after lunch, we played water with her again at the mini-pool. This time round more exciting as MIL bought her a water gun hehe. Then in the mid-afternoon, Trenyce seems to get a bit bored cos she cant go out and play (It was drizzling outside) so Hubby brought her to a nearby aquarium shop to entertain her.
I suppose Trenyce enjoyed the most from this trip with the "exciting programs" in line for her: doing painting, swimming/playing with water, chasing the birds and getting lotsa of RM$1.00, RM$1.70 or RM$1.90 toys kekeke :p
