Heavy rain in KB 10 January 2009

The wet season come again to Kuala Belait. On last January 10 several areas in Belait and Seria town was submerged. The drains around are useless at that time as nearly all drains are overflowing. The situation was worsened with heavy rains for nearly 12 hours which stopped slowly in the afternoon. And the high tide which occur the day before until 10 Janury also worsened the situation.

Weird car accident but true

Overview of the accident

11 January 2009, opening my Road Traffic Accident (RTA) album is the RTA case of the Pajero at the Tungku Link highway near the UBD Flyover. Believed to be happened at 11am, the RTA which seem as 'mini case' turns complicated when eyewitness say that a person with brain disorder are seen running away from the site thus more emergency personnel summoned including firefighters from the Jerudong FRS.

For me the crash is unique as the Pajero was driven at the dirt wall/section along the highway until it lost control and smashed the ground until it stopped in the dirt. Wonder how this crash occur?

Ready to fight fire in HAZMAT case

Recently I bought a Hazardous Material (HAZMAT) specialist/investigator action model. Manufactured by Lanard and sold at Soon Lee Mega Mart for $26 later as time goes by and no one wants to buy they later discount it 50%. So become $13. Although it is not a serious action model and its kit didn't match as the real thing but is has a play value (for kids and also for adult as well).

The kit consist of :

1) Type 1 initial chemical protection suit

2) Walkie-Talkie

3) Road barrier

4) EMS Oxygen tank (C/W Mask)

5) Backpack CO2 extinguisher C/W BA Set

6) Status note board

7) Watch

8) Boots

9) SLR Camera
