johor rain

A day trip to Muar and back. And true to the reports, it was pouring like mad. The muddy waters along the highway rose to unbelievable heights, flooding some of the "handmade" houses along the roads, and the waters rushed down the mountainous slopes with incredible speed and strength. It was unthinkable to be stranded in that area in such conditions. The clouds sunk very low too, some of which hang wispily around the slopes of the surrounding mountains, creating a somewhat serene effect amidst the heavy downpour. It was surreal to drive through the clouds and see that everything around you is white and misty. Perhaps even in the heaviest of storms, there always exists a pretty picture to be admired.
