When parts of Singapore were under two feet of water

So now, this is flooding in Singapore. Courtesy of @JeromeKG's blog The Long and Winding Road.

Flash floods and BBQs in Singapore

Seems to be a regular occurrence over here, although I would suspect that the vast amount of building work doesn't help matters by diverting the natural flow of water. However, it's still not as bad as many countries and when a country has this much rain, some flooding is inevitable. Isn't it? Still makes a lot of people 'enraged' though! Those 'Stompers' just love to get angry about it!
Meanwhile, chez Chapman, we had a very nice afternoon whiling away the soggy day with some friends, a BBQ and beers. An Australian chef turned up to cook (well, he seemed to reckon he was) and we even enjoyed a star turn by a singing granddad and his guitar. Kids loved it (and so did most of the parents). The wheels on the bus surely do go round and round. That's the way to do it!

Floods returning to Singapore

I'm pretty sure Australians, Brazilians, Sri Lankans, Pakistanis etc would be pretty dismissive of this! If you follow the Twitter feeds some people think it amounts to a flood, other to 'just a big puddle'. Make your minds up! It's wet, but it ain't that wet!
