The pouring rain in Kuching City.......

The weather in Kuching City till end of 2010 seems to be superbly fine...... we continue to enjoy the sunshine plus occasional rain. Comes the New Year 2011, the first week is still okay but all of a sudden the rain starts pouring!!!!!

I remember it has been raining so heavily on 10th, Monday night till the next morning......... and what shocked us on the early 11th morning is that the Kuching International Airport is closed - all flights coming in and out of KIA is 'CANCELLED!' The main cause and scene of attraction and concern happen to be an Air Asia Flight from Kuala Lumpur to Kuching upon arrival skidded off the runway!! Though such accidents do happen in Kuching, but it seems to be first time in history which resulted in the airport closure!! This is also my first time experiencing such a situation, whereby sending someone off from Kuching airport only after four attempts with a total waiting time of nearly 40 hours as from the original flight time.

Hoping that the rain will not continue to pour as next week will be 'High Tide' and I believe that everyone is praying for fine weather so there won't be flood in Kuching City, especially those flood prone areas. "May God bless us all!"
