I experienced this today. At the morning. As you know, Semarang city is a flood city. Especially for Citarum and Tlogosari road. Hehe, Tlogosari is my house. But the water didn't come to my house, yeah, lucky for that. So, last nigth is raining, hard raining. And today, is flood again. I must go to school to follow TOEFL test for my extra-result. I departed on 9 a.m from my house and went to the school by motorcycle with my father. I don't know why my father chose Citarum roads even that he had known that flood problem will come. As i predicted, the water began to reach our motorcycle. My father tried to full-up the gass. But, you know, Citarum has a ugly and rough road ! So many hole in the way. So difficult to pass it. And for the beginning, my motorcycle is cathced on the hole. My father tried hard to full-up the gass. But, he couldn't. He ordered me to go down. And my mind said : 'What ? This is flood , dad !'. I just tried to say, "But i used my shoes and i brought so many cartons now (that cartons are for my Chemistry assignment)". I tried to push with my self. But that is in vain. Because i don't wanna got late, i tried to take-off my shoes. One by one. Slowly, because i really don't wanna go down.
We passed the Pasar Johar wtih the people still looked at me. At the traffic, i said to my father : "Dad, why you didn't pass the Barito road , that will avoid us from flood problem like this". "I'm sory, i think last night the rain is not hard. You know i'm slept, right ?". "Yeah, hu'uh, but i tried to confirmed". "Ok, other chance", said Dad.
Yeah, that's just my experience, friends. Don't pass the Citarum if raining is fall at night before. Or you will get the moment like me. Maybe, i'm lucky-if we can call it luck-because some people got down from their motorcycle and got well all with no exception ! What a pity, huh.
