It's a paint. It's a hump. It's ROUNDABOUT!

Ever since I started to blog, I had always, ALWAYS wanted to have a little say on this topic, i.e. Seria's Roundabout!

Few years ago, more than 10 I mean, can say that most of the road junctions in Seria have been "forcefully" added in a roundabout. Due to the reason of limited space, roundabout in our pathetic small town often looks like this...

Photo taken at the junction once you come out from highway.
Near the wet market there

p/s: I don't know most of the road name, I'll just agak-agak tell you the location nya. (If you're interested to know where is it, so next time you visit Seria then you can spot them easily)

Back to the photo, can you spot a white patch of paint on the ground?
If YES, good for you.. you can now drive safely in Seria. If NO.. please ensure you have a fellow friend sitting beside you guiding you when you're driving here.

Everytime when any of my friends from BSB came down and visit me, and saw the so-called roundabout..their reactions are..
"MUAHAHAHAHAHAA!!! SO SMALL! WHERE GOT ROUNDABOUT LIKE THAT ONE? I DON'T EVEN KNOW IT'S A HUMP OR SOMEONE SPILLED PAINT ON IT!"

The roundabout near Police station and Post office

Yea Yea. Pathetic roundabouts.... But, I consider them uniquely found only in Seria what~

The second scenario when first-time-drive-in-Seria-people will meet is...

Me: Eh, slow down. Got roundabout ahead.
Driver: Huh? Where? I don't see any.

Another20M to Supa Save rounadbout

Me: Got bah! You trust me and slow down now! (A bit panic already)
Driver: Where? I don't see any! You mean I have to slow down NOW?

Now you don't see.
Now you shocked!

(Idea copy from Chipsmore: Now you see, now you don't)

*Car run over the "hump"*

Me: -____-" Nevermind. You just "ran over" the roundabout anyway...
Driver: Is it? No feeling leh....
Me: Duh... *roll eyes*

Apalah... Seria is not only famous for it's kolomee, rice dumpling, oil and gas bla bla bla, nodding donkey and so on, now when you come to Seria, you got to see our roundabouts too! Fascinating isn't it? *Sense any sarcasm here?*

The roundabout that can turn into the "Billian Barrel Oil Monument"

Other than miniature roundabouts, we have some weird designs roundabout too..

Roundabout to Mumong road from Seria

Roundabout that you see coming out from highway,
and going to Pandan Lima

p/s: I just google it and to my surprise, the teapot monument (roundabout) in Kuala Belait symbolises the four districts of the Sultanate of Brunei

Ah.. this one normal a bit lah, but super small.. very hard to corner you know..

Roundabout in KB, near bus station, Police station and HSBC

Oh....... Now I remember.. I forgot to take pictures of the roundabout connecting Jalan Maulana & Panaga one.. That one more cool, got steel pigeons or some sort of cranes in the center.
(Weird huh?)

Not forgetting to mention, we have a big crystal arch for the Jerudong Park roundabout.


But, that's not located in Seria so doesn't count lah..

Well, we do have normal and ordinary looking around with nothing but cement and black & white paing tho.. like this.

Roundabout in KB, err.. near the black tangki there.

Lastly, show you people something you don't get to see in any other place, only in Belait ok!


Hahahaa. We got a signboard here "teaching" or "reminding" drivers how to use the roundabout in a proper way...

I remember before the signboard and policemen start to "saman" drivers who drive straight crossing the roundabout, my mum was one of them who either:
1. Run over the roundabout, or
2. Shortcut it, not turning at full circle around it.

Maybe you can't see clearly what's on the signboard.
Here, an enlarge copy.

_______________________________

One thing, erm... irrelevant to the topic one. Just want to share with you dear friends and readers...

When I was still a baby, still drinking milk from the milk bottle, everytime when I threw tantrum refusing to finish the milk, my evil mum would threaten me this,

"If you don't finish your milk, later Aliens from the UFO will come and abdupt you!"

And the picture below is her so-called "UFO" 20years ago!

Damnit! I actually buy that! Blame it on my wild imagination.... Thinking that there are really some big head green Aliens inside who cut open children's bodies and take out their organs and transplant into Aliens so they can continue survive in planet Earth.. Cilaka..

It was only till when I was in my Primary 5, seen more TV and read more books... and mum stopped the threatening (because I don't drink from milk bottle anymore obviously), I suspected what I was being told..

One day, I came up with my courage and "confront" my mum... And guess what's her reaction.

"HAHAHAHAHHA! You're still believing it! Silly girl!"

-____-" I felt so...retarded! What kind of mum is that? What if I choose to believe it till today, will wreck-up my future one you know. Serious one leh the result.

KANASAI...

Here, I introduce you the super ganas lady driver who can one hand on the stick/wheel, one hand holding the camera and take pictures! (Yes, I drive a manual transmission car. *Proud*)

Call me number 1

I know.. stupid pose. I sucks in camwhoring what...

Steady or not? If you see the pics carefully, it's not hard to tell that most of them are taken from the angle in the car.

Talking or SMS on the phone while driving is illegal I know...
But no one tell me taking picture also will kana "saman" wor.

Kekekkekekeekek~
