between snow & rain..

Trying to avoid the snow blizzards is just an excuse for me to be back here. Actually I missed home so badly or rather a few pack of pepz. *giggles* But then when I'm here they're so busy being involved either directly or indirectly with the current natural disaster containment.

Well, obviously I can't blame them as it's a real priority to help your fellows country's inhabitant and I just had to admit it that it's just not my luck to spend times with them but then I admire them for their dedications.

The thought of escaping the heavy snow and being caught in the wettest weather back here is not a soothing one for me. But then its mother nature at work, so i guess no point in me continuing my rants aite! The weather has gone crazily wild and according to statistics its the worst since few years back. Still we must continue on living and executing our everyday chores the best we can. Patience is very important at this time. Hopefully I'm up to it. *sigh*The Natural disaster caused by the merely non-stop heavy downpour had causes distress to the public here especially those who had been badly hit by the landslides and inundation. My condolences and sympathies for the families who had lost their beloved ones and possessions in the natural disaster. Power outage and health are among the main concerned and major problems faced by the authority to deal with during this bad weather.

I know the related authorities are doing all they can to try in overcoming the situations the best they possibly can. Being back here in Brunei I could see how they had to work round the clock in ensuring the public safety especially those located in dangerous area and necessary precautions had been made.
For the past few days since I've been home I also received cautions SMS from NDMC (Natural Disaster Management Center) giving out early warning to the public especially motorists and those who live in rural remote lowland and slope hilly area. Some were even asked to evacuate their premises to avoid any possible threats.

Last night I learned that motorists were trapped in bee line as the road along Sg.Liang in Belait district was cut-off by fallen trees caused by landslides from another heavy non-stop downpour making it inaccessible temporarily. I heard that they had to wait patiently in their cars for a mere 4 hours and the traffic halt stretches up to 4km.

But in that mad chaos, I'm ultimately proud to note that some of the motorists and bystanders also helped in clearing the road. I think we must applaud those peoples who decided not to leave all the works to the authorities on site. Bravo for the job well-done to my fellows country men.

Oh! to my friends who were caught during the mishap last night..didn't know you guys are that patience and kind heart-ed too..haaahaaahaaaaa nahhhhh just kidding pepz, know that you pepz are superbly wonderful individuals all along, love yah! *grin*

Between snow and rain, I guess its just another way for our Creator to test our patience and thankfulness. Hope and Pray that Allah The Al-Mighty has mercy on all of us and save us from any further disaster. Amen! I'm happy to learned that the NDMC was organizing mass prayers asking for Allah blessing enlighten with the country being continuously batter by heavy rains causing floods and landslides. Public were all welcome to join in the congregation.

To be caught in heavy snowing is another thing that I would try to avoid possibly. I mean you simply can't go anywhere with a peace of mind. You're shivering like hell and it's best and wise to stay home get warm up by your heater appliances, watching your favorite shows on the telly or simply going online while sipping your hot chocolate and munching on brownies. Please make sure the heater is not broken at all time cause you never know when disaster strike.
Before getting back here the weather there was painstakingly cold to the bone and just imagine how freezing it would be if you're there now especially last Sunday when it all begun. brrrrrrrrr freezing like hell I can tell you that.
Where ever you're whatever you do, nothing is more blissful and comforting than being surrounded by your beloved family and friends. Knowing and ensuring their safety are very rewarding feelings than anything else. Endless love, hugs and kisses for my parents, brothers and sisters. *smile*

Okay folks, I should end it right here and let you all decide where you wanna be, which place you prefer when mother nature put a test on its denizen. Until then, take care! xoxo toodles>>>ewey!!!
