A TikTok video uploaded by @Iskandar6400 shows a man stranded in his lorry with water levels rising as high as his vehicle's doors.

Two firemen approached the man, only to be surprised by the sight of the man cooking Maggi noodles in his lorry.

“Are you hungry?” asked the lorry driver.

“Yes, I am. But do you want to come down from the lorry now or stay here?” answered the fireman.

In the end, the driver, who was alone, declined the rescue offer and said if things go bad, he will find his way to a shelter.

“It’s okay, I want to cook and eat first,” the driver said while laughing.

The video has so far attracted over 450,000 views and over 20,000 retweets on Twitter.

Netizens, of course, loved the man's chill attitude:
