typhoon has hit us already this morning and from what i saw it wasn't exactly a preety sight. this was of course all thanks to the nincimpoop duty officer who had not the slightest idea how to use the fax machine here, this occurring still even though he's been here for one of the longest times. so after doing all that i needed to do, or rather doing all that he was Supposed to do, i popped my head out of the reception room and could feel the immense weight blowing right smack into my cheeks.

my chubby little cheeks.

haha, i cannot believe i'm actually going to put that up. but whatever it is, the fact is that the wind produced by the typhoon was uber strong. this took place at around 0800h. by the way singapore and taiwan are within the same time zones so don't bother me by asking what time is it in singapore when i experienced all that.

-hmph.

really really strong winds there were, but as usual, sleep is of utmost importance and thus i shut the doors and went back to bed. throughout part two of my sleep episode, i could distinctly hear the doors and metal shutters banging away. that obviously caused me to rustle in sleep but as i said sleep is of utmost importance. finally woke up at around noon just in time for lunch and i guess by then the typhoon has already gone by, not much of a strong wind and rain as i walked over to the cookhouse for my meals. slight drizzling and that was all.

all to the aftermath,

that is.

the reality of the true strength of the wind only dawned upon me way a few hours after lunch where i walked over to the basketball court cum carpark where i conveniently found the basketball hoop stand nicely fallen to the ground at the other end of the park. it moved horizontally across the park hit the kerb and then well, fell over. this stand i'm referring to is the basketball metal stand with wheels that you see in school, i think. haha. but imagine that. just moved across the park by its own, all thanks to typhoon sepat.

now i still cannot go out

and it's once again,

ALL THANKS TO SEPAT.
