Just watched The Unit season 2 episode 5 title Force Majeure. Guess what, the mission was about rescuing a general from a hospital in stormy weather. The street was flooded, rain was falling heavily and hurricane was about to come. The same thing happened in real life yesterday (ok, minus the hurricane). The different was, can yesterday condition in Jakarta considered as force majeure?
Let see. The definition of Force Majeure itself is …. In the unit, the rain storm was depicted well that it was out of hand. There’s even evacuation center. Not to mention the hurricane that was coming. What happened in Jakarta yesterday was (imo) lighter than that. It surely cannot be considered force majeure. It only rained from Thursday nite till Friday afternoon. The intensity varied, it didn’t always rain hard, but still flood was everywhere. Bad drainage was accused to be the source of this ‘force majeure’. If that so, why can’t it be improved? Can’t it be fixed? What about the missing swamp and open spaces that used to be water conservation area? They were replaced by concrete jungle named malls, town centers, junctions, etc. *sigh… so many whys…
Anyway, I think this time last year I also stayed at home, trapped by (the annual) flood. And just like last year, I’m listening to Eric – Hanya Bermodal Cinta. It’s been a while since I last heard this song. It’s still enjoyable, the melody, the lyric… “Maafkanlah sayang bila kau tak berkenan, mungkin aku hanya lelaki hina…Bermodalkan cinta tulus, kesetiaan kepadamu” *chuckles
Well, that’s all. Just had this urge to write, thanks to The Unit – Force Majeure. We have to think positive in this matter. Look at the bright side, we can ask for permission not to go to work using this excuse : ‘due to hard rain that had been falling since last nite’ lolzzzz
