of flood

i was in a foreign land (maybe not foreign for the rich lads), so i seize the chance to.get to know about the country more.. rarely online although almost all places provide free Wifi - the bus, the cafes, the hotels & so on... frankly speaking, after the 1st wave in Pasir Puteh, i thought the situation was better.. Wrong.. it turned to be the worst nightmare for other district.. flying at low altitude when approaching Pengkalan Chepa (because the weather is bad) , I had a rare opportunity viewing flood from the sky.. & as many already know, KB, from sky, look like a new island,surrounding by rivers & sea!! yeah, it was that BAD.. something that i never guess nor do something expected.. the reality struck me like a lightning.. this wasnt the worst flood in lifetime just for me, it was the worst nightmares to most of the victims.. what used to be a smooth road/the way from airport to my house, was a journey of 'Duck Tour' (resemble the amphibian vehicle @Duck Tour in Langkawi) - alternating road, water, road, water again & the cycle continue.. UMK students brought their bag, a mother with her baby struggling in the flood, to reach the main road (cold & 'sehelai sepinggang) & thousands of scenario that i havent face before... it's lucky that i arrived safely, but beyond that, i'm grateful that i made the decision to move to clinic (risk of being a flood victim @ kuarters if i still stay there - in the event of flood, i believe the Primum non nocere concept, indirectly - save the medicines to save lives).. talking about medicines, i remember having an uncle who got his supply of medications from Ipoh, but trapped in Kelantan because most roads are closed to light vehicles, coming to clinic to get his 'staple food @medications) but all i can do is offering alternative since clinic doesnt have the List A medications. & for the pregnant mother who had just having an episode of status epilepticus few weeks before, no alternative suit his condition, so, ringing the original hospital was the only option available.. Perhaps some doesnt realize the importance of saving medications in flood, but believe me, witnessing that two scenarios, that was a noble job- be the unsung hero who save lives or preventing emergencies when the hospital building was drowned.. , post flood, the food supply was scarce ( almost all food section in supermarket here are empty), people queing a long queue to get fuel @ petrol stations, most of ATM run out of money, at some places,the prices daily food/necessities spiking, & keep sky-rocketting
