Floods and Landslides

The weather has been quite unpredictable lately. One day it could be nice and sunny, and it could be raining and cold on another. The heavy and persistent rain that befell on Brunei two days ago resulted in one of the worst cases of flooding and landslide in a long while. Many places were flooded, landslides happened almost everywhere and electricity was cut off in many areas, some still do not have electricity until now. But the shocking news that came out from these events was when two lives were lost to the floods and landslides.

The current weather situation is expected to continue until March. And some said there may be repeats of the chaoatic scenes from two days ago. Whatever you do, please take care. Always be on alert and ready to move when you sense danger is coming.

And to my Chinese readers, I hope the weather will settle itself, even for a while, to allow you to celebrate Chinese New Year.
