....

the sky was turning so dark.

the wind started to howl like mad.

i had second thoughts about going to Taman Megah with Thahirah. but i thought i'd see what she says. even if we decided not to, i should at least give her a ride home.

i ran to my car as fast as my file, sling bag and pump shoes could take me on the bumpy road outside.

the moment i was in the driver's seat, huge rain drops started to pelt my windscreen in big heavy thuds. crap...

headed down the road to college and was caught in the annoying jam amidst the Sri KL parents. the rain was getting heavier and heavier. drivers were honking from every angle. [why the hell are they honking? like it would get us there any faster! dumbasses....]

around the corner i saw with my very own eyes, a tree branch falling down onto 2 girls pinning them to them ground. i wanted to scream for them. poor girls. Thank God it wasnt a very big branch. they got up and were unhurt. their umbrella was a gone case though.

i got into college. Thahirah popped into my car. She was a little shaken as well. It seemed the chairs and tables at the concourse were shaking and moving around. posters and buntings were flying everywhere. people fled into the office.

i veered out of college and was slapped inthe face by a stagnant traffic out side. so i was in a position that was directly in the middle of my college gates.

a huge gust of wind blew. i saw from my rear mirror the big gate swinging towards me! all i could do was screammmmmmmmmmm.

the car shook from the impact. Thahirah was stunned. i was crying inside. the gate bounced off and came again. the second blow wasnt as bad. but my car felt like it would turn turtle any moment.

fear enveloped me. i knew my parents were trying desperately to contact me. my handphone was out of juice.

i tried my best, manouvering around fallen tree trunks andalternative routes. finally sent her home.

then i did the same thing to get back. it was like a maze. everywhere had uprooted trees. i could not get back. after rounding the area i finally made it back.

my dad went ballistic when he saw the car. my mum was lecturing me about having bad judgment.

my back door is still functioning but water could get it. my bag was all drenched. i need to get it fixed. and its coming out of my pocket.

sigh...
