Palm Sunday And A Mini Tyhoon In Ipoh

It's Palm Sunday today... went to church at 7.45am with bright spirits.. and each of us were given a beautiful cross made from palm leaf.....
Pastor preached on The Journey to the cross by Jesus as he entered the city of Jerusalem with shouts of Hosanna by the people who laid palm leaves on the ground as Jesus rode by on a donkey, the very same people who had him crucified a week later and then He rose on the third day, ie Easter....
 "He came from heaven to earth... to show the way...
From the earth to the cross, my debt to pay...
From the cross to the grave, from the grave to the sky...
Lord I lift Your name on High..."
On the very same afternoon around 4pm, a strong and howling wind came to my area.... Never before I heard of such howling wind before... "wwooooooooooowooooo" and rain splashed into my main entrance.... and in no time, my balcony was kind of flooded too...
Something must have got stuck cos the water just wouldn't budge....
and an idea came to this Lady MacGyver
Covered the head with a thick towel, she went into action....

Using the stick, she searched for the hole....
Seems like the hole was stuck with debris.... 
That was why the water couldn't go through....
That being done, she began to retrieve her floating slipper....

Got it!!
Finally..... done!
Ok, that's it!
No more clog.. no more flood.... 
The task is accomplished!
Time to get myself cleaned up before I get a chill....

    It was on Friday afternoon here - terribly heavy rain, very strong wind, thunder and lightning. Luckily, nothing blocked, no flood...

    Really hope you will be ok, won't catch chill. You were totally soaked! Raincoat or umbrella will be better I guess, The towel you used was also totally soaked. Just curious who took the photos of you while you were in the rain?

    Usually I go to 1st mass service at 6.45am. The palm cross was beautifully made. You like playing in the rain, eh. See the last pix, so happy, hahaha. Yesterday afternoon, over here, also heavy rain and strong wind but it lasted only a while.

    errr, i can see you are a REAL BLOGGER!! instead of asking that somebody to hold an umbrella for you while you work in the rain, you rejected that idea, but get him/her to take photos of you in action so that you can blog about it!! hahahahaha~~ :D

    Dear Friend Claire,
    You done a very good job for the everybody! But u didnt save urself from harm. Do u know such storm has strong lightning? Next time, use a pair of long boots than bare footed!!!!
    No joke, friend. Buy a 2 ft rottan of finger like size n spare it there for use when another blockage comes.
    Hope my suggestion helps. till then..
