Flood.

The great flood is here in the UK! Many people are stranded... and i'm one of them!! : (

I'm in Manchester now.. and I'm stuck in Manchester with no way of going home to Plymouth, cus the train line between Birmingham and Gloucester is disrupted due to severe flooding in the Midlands!!

I'm sleeping on my friend's couch.. have been for the past nights... hopefully i get to sleep on my own bed... SOME TIME SOON. The train services say that things will be disrupted for a week! Oh no! how am i going to get to work by tuesday!!??!

The flood is quite an amazing one... you find it in the Bible when God told Noah to gather 2 of a kind and build a gigantic sampan.. When I saw it flood on BBC news.. I thought to myself.. oh no.. poor people.. houses destroyed.. people stranded.. all sorts of amusingly strange and sad things.

I won't say that people are suffering though.. but the effects of it is greater then what it seems on the surface.. Transportation is brought to a standstill.. i who live in the south, and am in the north can't get back to work in the south.. strawberry, blue berry and other farms in Gloucester/Worcester/Hereford-shires are destroyed..

Its a strange whole new experience.. being disrupted by natural disasters, i never thought of it before. This is as compared to Singapore.. where you can almost never have your life be disrupted by our weather (Going to sentosa to play does not count).

It puts into perspective how in life, you largely can't choose which portion of the pie you want to get. Sometimes you get the pick of the crop, and sometimes, you get the rotten parts. Regardless of the outcome.. its just about picking your ass up, and getting on with life as best as you can, and thats living your life to the full.

Though there are few casualties because of the flood (thankfully) and people are largely taking the severe flooding with a strange light heartedness.. still.. pray for the victims.. especially those who have their livelihoods destroyed by the raging waters, and also.. that London Paddington Station will not burst at its seams and have a major stampede or soemthing, when I fight my way there to go home tommorow. : S
