Sandakan is now known for its coldness. The weather here is as cold as Genting Highland. But, as a contrast with Genting Highland, Sandakan offers more seafood. Somehow i will say there will be less seafood sold in the market as there is always raining, super heavily.

Some might prefer the coldness as if they lived in UK or USA. Some might not because they like the sunny day. For me, it’s okay for both if it didn’t hit the limits of mine.

On 29th, there was a new experience for me. My house was ALMOST flooded. I remember i slept at 2am that day after facebooking and chatting. I was the last one of my family who laid on bed. That time it was raining really really heavily.

After 2 hours or so, around 4am, my mum woke me up =.=
Mum: Lip!! Wake up!! Daddy has gone to the office!!
Lip: hmmmm……
Mum: Quick!! Wake up!! The garage is flooded!!!
Lip: WHAT??!! O.O

I quickly jumped out from bed. My brother had also woke up already. Yeah, the front part of my house was flooded. The muddy water ran quickly, just a little bit more (like 2cm more) then it will ran into the house. I was still in the shock and my mind gone blank. I stressed myself and quickly changed my cloths.

The whole neighborhood was in a mess and all were awake. Hate the cars were going there and here. They could actually affecting the flow of the water, remember that was only 2cm!!! X.x

My dad had gone to the office because there was landslide behind the building. My brother guarded for the water level, shouted for us if the water really flow into the house. My mum prepared the clothes, used towels… I twisted my brain to think what will really happen if the water flowed in. At the same time, pray for god, really hardly.

The kitchen was the lowest part of the house, thus it was flooded, just a bit. Helped mum to put the clothes trying to stop the water flowing in. Suddenly thought of the toilets, they were started to flood also. Quickly went to search for the plasticine in the old toys box. Founded, and used it to stuck the holes on the toilets floor.

Settled and the only danger was the front part of the house. Hoping it to stop raining. It was so close then all the water would be running in. I thought of anything that would really happen if that nightmare happened. Moved everything we could to the tables, chairs, as long as it was high enough. Dad called and he said the town was totally in a mess, and of course warning him not to put himself in danger.

Around 6am, the rain stopped and was “calm down” and the muddy water slowly flowed away. Got to start cleaning the kitchen, toilets and finally the garage. When we almost finish cleaning everything, dad safely came back home. Settled down and we ate maggi for breakfast as it was already 7 something.

Heard there were people died in this nature’s revenge. There are also landslide everywhere, including Grandview *Bo, is your dad okay??* There are trees branches falling down, blocking the traffic. The tree at the Sung Siew’s junction fell down on the old Girl Guide’s hunt. The town is like a muddy pond. I really hope it stops raining and so we can really enjoy Chinese New Year.

The TM line was off for DAYS!!! That’s why i could not online and so, i did really felt like dying!! I heard other areas’ line were repaired. That’s so unfair!!!! >:O The entertainment left was only the TV =.= My missions going to friends’ place in CNY should be gambling *BOBO~*, catching up and also ONLINE!!! Ohyea, that’s also why i have that much time to write the longgggggggg posts =.=
