A video of a flooded stretch of road made its way around social media this morning (13 June). 

In the short clip, vehicles are seen moving at a very slow pace due to the high water level and the inability to see lane markings on the road.   

The flood location is identified to be on the main road towards Punggol Road and TPE (PIE).

This is how the 3-lane road looks like during normal conditions.  

After yesterday’s heavy rain (12 July), PUB issued a risk of flash floods occurring in several areas in Singapore.

With thundery showers expected till mid-July, be prepared for any sightings of a flood.

Full of sarcastic humour.

IMO, this is one of those rare moments for SUVs to demonstrate their capability in Singapore.

The optimism that we all wish to have. 😎

Not gonna lie, this person is asking the REAL QUESTION here. 

If you ever encounter a flood, here are some advice to note:

  1. Drive slowly and defensively.
  2. Do not speed or accelerate suddenly.
  3. Pump your brakes and monitor your engine performance after driving through the flood.

  • Space: Large and Empty

    Over the weekend I fell into a bit of a science-fiction/science rabbithole. You know, one of those when you click on ONE Youtube video and suddenly the whole Sunday afternoon is gone and your algorithm is all messed up.  Anyway, obviously there's tons of fascinating stuff about space and science and all that. Too much, really.  But one fun fact has stuck in my brain: All the other planets in the Solar System could fit between Earth and our Moon.  It seems crazy to think, consideri

    More aliens on Earth?

    "Scientists Just Discovered a Creature That Breaks the Rules of Life". I mean, that's quite the headline.  Sukunaarchaeum mirabile is also quite the name to pronounce. But yes, that's the name of a recently discovered organism that apparently challenges the traditional scientific definition of 'life'.  There's a fair bit of scientific jargon to sieve through, but the quick summary is this: Cells are considered "alive" because of their ability to self-replicate and reproduce, whereas vi

    Why I bought Fanta Orange and hand carried it back from Germany

    - The curious case of the European Fanta - I paid 5 Euros for a small 500ml bottle of Fanta Orange and brought it on my carry-on bag, on a 13+hours flight to bring it back to Singapore. You might be wondering why; after all we can get Fanta Orange in Singapore - it's a Chinese New Year staple! BUT NO! European Fanta is DIFFERENT! From its colour, to its taste, the European Fanta is unique and better, and I would say it tastes closer to Origina (which is like the best fizzy orange drink
