The Bus Is My Other Car.

Rained the whole day on Monday (8/3). As usual, NJ was flooded the next day... heh Atlantis. Earthworms, not a few but A LOT, were washed 'ashore' onto the pavement, left to CURL UP AND DIE, and then be decomposed by the endless trail of ants. Luckily my lunch was digested, or else, the ants would have something else to feed on.

I ate my lunch together with rainwater that splashed in. Water leaked from the ceiling pass the electrical wiring of a fan in the canteen (What if there's a short circuit?). The water also provided the much needed water and nutrients to the algae along the wall. When I returned my plate, a drop of water landed on my head -- leaky roofs. The glass roof is practically full of leakages. Sigh, if you can't maintain it, why build it in the first place?

Neither do I fancy 'open-concept' staircases (in a not-so-nice term, exposed staircases) -- climbing staircases while braving the rain/wind and making sure you don't slip. There were puddles of water everywhere because the concrete floor wasn't even paved properly. Firstly it wasn't even, but luckily it was a lousy job well done -- the floor was so rough that it gave me a better grip on the inundated floor! The linkway was flooded (what's the use of sheltering when your legs get wet?!). I wish I could cut across the field under the rain, but people will think I'm 'gila'.

Even walking in the main school building on a rainy day will get me wet -- the roof protrudes over the ledge. Eventually, rain runs off from the roof, splashes onto the ledge (and onto anyone who walks passs the corridor), and then floods the floor. Water seems to have even found its way into the classroom walls -- there were watermarks everywhere. Or is it just cheapo paint?

SIGH!!!!!! But at least the lecture theatres don't leak :)
