On the rise again

The water level has risen again. Heavy rain, although for a short period but everyday has caused the water to rise again. My land beside my house is covered with water. The drain behind the house has overflowed. The main drains by the main road has also risen, almost overflowing. Hmm..... That's how it is. This morning, I heard on the radio that among the places in Selangor expected to be having flood is Kg Parit Mahang. If the weather continues the way it is now, it is most likely to happen. Not only Kg Parit Mahang but also Kg Bukit Cerakah ( where my house is), Kg Bukit Hijau and Kg Bukit Kucing. All these kampong are susceptible to flooding.

House construction

House constructions going on around my house. Directly behind my house, behind but to the left and directly in front. All three are at various stages of construction. I think the one directly behind will finish first. They started first anyway. Now at the finishing stage i.e. plastering, tiles, etc. In a few months time, this place is going to be lively. Just the way I like it.

Rainy season

Its the rainy season alright. Everyday it rains but it's okay as long as the rain is for a short time. Heavy it can be but not for long. Half and hour or even one hour is still okay. Anything longer than that will spell trouble for many in the village. Now its November. There's still December to come so it will be touch and go the few weeks ahead. Hope everything will turn out alright. Last year I remember coming here in the months of October to December while my house was being built. Funny thing I don't remember the heavy rain. I only remember how hot it was especially when I am riding my bike. Yes, there were occasional rain but not flooding as is happening now. The water is the drains were also not that high!

November and December 2017

The first picture is in November 2017 while the second picture is in December 2017. It was hot and sunny and dry. Not like this year when it is all wet.

At Kuala Selangor

Was at K. Selangor last Thursday. With the water problem at home, we had to do our washing at a laundrette somewhere. Usually it is at Puncak Alam but this time because we had other things to do as well in K. Selangor, we decided to do our laundry there. After that we went to a TNB panel clinic where I took the injections for my trigger finger problem. Today after three days I think the thumb is beginning to heal a bit but lets wait and see. Hope the injections will do the trick and I don't have to have an operation on the finger.

Trigger finger

My left hand thumb is having a problem known as trigger finger, a direct consequence of living without water for about a month. The thumb will sometime locked in a bend position. When I try to straighten it, the pain can be terrible. Especially in the morning, it is the worse time. What happened was I was buying many water bottles for my water need. Can be six seven bottles a day or even more. The trouble was some of the water bottles were easy to open but there were some that were extremely difficult. Being a left hander, I had to use the full force of my left hand and the thumb. So everyday, I was doing it. Six seven times a day, maybe more. After about a month, I felt pain in the area of the thumb and surrounding it. Then one day it locked in a bend position. When I straightened it, I felt a painful sensation. This continued for a few months until I said I had enough. I need to do something about it. I went to see the doctor and that's when she told me it is a trigger finger occurring. Yesterday, she gave me two injections  the area of the thumb. Hopefully, it will cure.

Alhamdulillah

I called Syabas three times. Every time I called they sent their people. They will checked on the meter and then they will leave without telling me what was wrong. Even at night they will come to check the meter and then go. Meantime, I was unaware of what was the problem while the water remain slow, even trickling at times. I checked with our neighbours, they said the same. Water from the pipe is so damn slow. After three days, out water tank dried up. No more water. Our solution was to connect a rubber hose from our backyard where there is a pipe connected direct to the main pipe to the bathroom for water. The water was slow, sometime trickling, sometime zero but that was the best we can do. Finally on Thursday, after four days, a Syabas contractor came to our house to check on our problem. I showed them the slow water flowing from the pipe. They said they will rectify it come nigh time. Ahamdulillah, this Friday morning, the water situation is back to normal. They must carried out the job last night as promised.
