I thought you lived in Malaysia, @SHaYap

You have any personal stories to tell about where you live?

And what, in God's name does 'Shayap' mean?

Btw., a week or so ago I watched a couple of videos posted by a 3d Eye. It was about harassing women, like in trains, busses, railway stations and so on.

Was that you?

It's kinda a hodgepodge of my initials, almost but not quite "Y.H.W.H"

Nope, not into that kind of nonsense to be honest...

I actually meant personal stories about the floodings, yours, or from friends or family.

I'm some ways from the heavy flooding, just scattered villages hit hard about a couple of miles away. Both my sisters staying in the capital got stuck at home for a few days, nothing too serious. 

The clean up effort helping out those that got hit hard still continues, but it's helping a lot, volunteers and aid is better than expected, even during hard times like these. As the saying goes, we do what we can, those who can afford it, donate, those who are unable, gave time to help clean up, many shoulders lighten the load. 

Lemon, lemonades ...
