It rained so badly during lunchtime that I started taking shelter in the Marine Parade food centre. With a flood building up to the ankle level around us, a bunch of other people were with me on a elevated ground right outside the toilet. All of us were adults wearing socks and a bit cautious of them getting soaked. Those walking on water were adults without socks and those with socks were school children several groups of them. They continued eating their lunch, doing what they were doing and having a great time with the water.

I'm thinking about Tsunamis and hurricanes that so often happen around us. With a heavy storm like that, I wondered if that was the beginning of a bad one right here in Singapore. If so, with or without socks, whether we are sheltered or not, it would have killed us. If so, we would have all died but the children would at least have had a ball of a time before they go.

As i live, I do envy the children and want to be somewhat like them.
