Hello I'm alive!

Melbourne's most intense hailstorm just happened this afternooon! ><
It was sunny n cooling at 1pm n by 2pm the hailstorm came!
The Malaysian Student's Council of Australia Victoria had a bbq this nooon in Flagstaff garden :s
At one moment we were under the umbrella cooking chicken and the next moment we saw flocks of birds flying across our umbrella and we heard droppings on the umbrella!
The 1st thing that came to my mind was "OMG BIRD SHIT!" XD
N the next moment we felt hard rocks literally hitting us!

There were more than 100 of us in the garden n we didn't have enough time to run to the shade so all we had was the big umbrella that cud hardly fit 20 people ><
Ice cubes shooting from all directions n wind blowing everything left n right for almost 10 mins! What an experience.. @.@
There were people holding down the umbrella n some crying throughout n yelling each time the ice cubes hit them n some were still EATING.. HAHA!
Pretty amazing how we made it tru! :)

Well obviously the bbq cudnt go on because it was flooded when the hailstorm subsided and it was left with pouring rain!
We ran for shelter n had a mini catch up session there until the rain stop!
I must say it was a blessing in disguise somehow! :))
The MASCA people were awesome! XD Great experience :)



Sheng Loong n I helped the committee pack up n clean up n then we headed home!
OMG lah. My apartment's concierge area was flooded n the lifts were spoilt so there was no way up except the stairs!
I live in THIRTY-SEVENTH floor!
I cudnt care much but to walk all the way up 37 flights of stairs! ><
Wasn't that bad as it sounds actually!

Cleaned up myself n fixed my legs! :(
Didn't think it wud impact my leg so badly but oh wells.
Lets just smile n keep that experience deep down :)


Made a couple of calls after reaching home..
But you disappoint me much :(

Watched the news also! N guess wad!
Apparently we survived out in an open space with the most intense hailstorm, 100km/hr wind and one of the worst lighting n thunderstorms ever! Pheww.. N Melbourne City flooded!
Melbourne has got lots of cleaning up to do! ><

Anyhow! I survived! XD
N God's great :)
