Last Saturday, was a big day of the temple in Weston. it was the birthday of the god (Sin Kong Sin) in Weston temple. and all the representative from KK area, as far as Keningau came, to bring their god to pay their respect to Sin Kong Sin. it was a very good experience..
After the event, we planned to go back to KK at around 4pm. the sky was so dark. and actually we heard a lot of people complaining that they cannot pass through the road (if they come from KK/ Menumbok/Kuala Penyu) because of the flood. only big vehicles such as lorries and buses can go through.
somehow, we still try to go back. and if we really cant go through, we will turn back home. we have 3 cars wanting to go back to KK. one is Deche’s Honda CRV, one is Henry’s Toyota Vios and another one is Milia’s Suzuki Swift. Deche was in front and and he went through but he called and advised us not to go because with his car, which is slightly higher, the water level was half of its door..so, we have to go back Weston and decided, only to go to KK, early in the morning the next day..
We woke up early on Monday morning, but we got news from orang kampung that the water had rise until the waist level. and, that’s impossible for any ordinary car to go through, as it will destroy the car engine. so, I have to call to the office telling that I will have to take emergency leave. later in the evening, around 7pm, we asked the orang kampung again..they said the water has started to lowered, and we hope it will continue to lower until the next day. I have to get another emergency leave for our journey back to KK and luckily the company granted me compassionate leave, and considers it as natural disaster. =)
It was a real experience..and I’m so glad I got the chance to experience it..though I actually had headache, thinking of how we can go to KK. we even planned to go to Sipitang and take speedboat to Labuan..then, from Labuan, we take ferry back to KK. or another option is to drive from Weston-Tenom-Keningau-Tambunan-KK. somehow, the water level was not as high as the previous day and we saw Kelisa went through the water. every driver that managed to pass through had a proud smile on their faces as if they are the hero of the day. =)
after waiting for at least an hour, we got the news that Ko Tiew will be going to Beaufort too. so, we waited for him to arrive to pull us over to the other side, as his car is bigger and tougher. His 4WD will pull Henry’s Vios and Milia’s Swift. They are to on but not start the engine when they are in the water..this is to avoid the water going in to engine. and, once they arrive on the dry (no flood) land, they have to start the engine, so that they can hit the brake. Ah meng, Tuaci and I were at the back of Ko Tiew's 4WD. It was so adventurous. Heh. *proud*
Thank God, everything went well and smooth..when we reached Beaufort, we had our breakfast, then continue our journey back to KK. we arrive KK at around 10:40am and we still managed to enter the office for the 2nd half of the day.
