yesterday, it poured here.... for the first time in a looooong time, i woke up to raindrops on the roof.... i mean... dont get me wrong.... it rains a fair bit here... but usually its just thunderstorms at night... and in the morning, its dry.....well... it was refreshing to wake up to rain for a change.... but it was POURING~~ and although i opened my eyes in the morning with a smile, due to the history of broken bones, as soon as i tried to move from my bed, my entire body was aching....
our maid came at noon with her jeans drenched in rain... she told me that the gate to our place was flooded with "THIS" much rain (pointing to her knees).... i didnt believe her....
but when i walked out to goto work.... there is was... the entrance to our apartment blocks flooded with 40cm of water... there were all these koreans and chinese people standing around complaining that they cant get out..... they were all wearing sneakers..... i was wearing sandals... coz my maid told me to wear sandals... haha
it didnt rain so much that the entire are flooded... it was just bad maintenance around our apartments that our entrance is caved in like a basin.... so most people stood there..... looking at our apartments... then a lake..... then the rest of the city..... some chinese girl that i dont know kept trying to talk to me about how much it had rained.... duh~~~~ and it was STILL raining!
later she asked me to give her a piggy-back over the flooded area... hahahahahahaha~~ i said no.... then i just walked thru the flood wearing my sandals~~ hehe.... some chinese guy tried to ride his bike thru it.... then stacked it into the water.....
just to annoy the people on the "other side" of the flood... i stood there taking these wonderful photos with my phone ^^
onto other news.... my mum is coming to china next monday.... my boss wants me to goto hong kong to renew my visa.... coz he screwed up the entire renewal process for all the teachers.... to tell him that he can shove the hong kong idea up his rear, i bought all the airline tickets for my travel with my mum, and got it sent to work... haha.... he told me.... ah... we can fix up ur visa after ur mum leaves.... (i might have to goto sydney for a week)
and the final GREAT news is... i got an email from UTS today saying that my leave of absence application has been approved.... so i can finish my 2 subjects in 2009.... but i MUST go back in 2009.... hehe~ niiiiiiiiiiiice~~
i now just need a chinese visa so that i can goto the olympics in August~!!!! (fingers crossed~)
