Bros and Sis

A simple get together! It’s easily a crowd when there are 15 bros and sis in the family. But nowhere we could have everybody at the same time as there's always someone on posting overseas or at work.

Today the weather has been pleasant after the big downpour yesterday. Driving in such condition was quite hazardous as there were still lots of water puddles due to many potholes and uneven surfaces. These were specially so along the Tutong-Jerudong highway. And obviously quite dangerous and no wonder there were so many accidents along this stretch of road.

Hope somebody would take notice and inspect that highway for the good and safety of road users. Most of the repair works so far were minor and some even made the situation worse by making the road more uneven. One would be tempted to drive on the fast lane (right lane) to avoid these uneven spots. Having said that, some roads in town are always in immaculate conditions and seemed to be maintained all the time. Wonder why the lack of focus elsewhere.

One thing that has not changed is the infamous Kuilap roundabout. I always see dangerous situations here. There seems to be a flaw in the design. To me it's quite obvious and should be remedied straight away. But I presume those in this field knows better and who am I to judge. However, the effort to educate the public through the media on the proper way of using the roundabout is not making any impact. I still see people diving straight to the next exit from the inner lane of the roundabout or people circulating the roundabout using the outermost lane. These are basic things not to do when using a roundabout.
