SAF gives out goretex jackets now, we don't really use poncho anymore. Ironically, I remember on my first route march in Tekong when rain were falling like needles, our SAF goretex 100% waterproof boots is completely useless if raining durations lasts more than 30mins.

I'd absolutely missed this flooding ~ as it wasnt flooding in the place I live, nor the place I worked. Or maybe it did and I was just safely indoors and totally unaware.

I was one of the idiots that accompanied a friend down to orchard that morning.
who'd think singapore would flood that badly??
though it did get interesting when our cab started loosing friction/traction going through a heavily flooded stretch and it felt like the car was sort of " drifting " side ways.

That happens in taxis anyway after 10-min of rain, especially the old floppy Toyota Crowns or even older Yellow Top Nissans.
