Sibu Road Expansion

We're gonna have a wider and bigger roads in Sibu soon! Well maybe not better, considering this is a sinking swampland so those expansions may last a few years until the first sink hole appears and damages my car's skirts, again.

But hey it's good to see the people's taxes are actually being used on things the people actually need. However I'm just concerned about the jams the constructions cause, not to mention the proximity of those huge 31530 lbs KOBELCO excavators to your driving seat and the usual slow men at work. Talking about slow, if my 128Mb RAM memory serves me right, the constructions along these stretch of road have taken place for almost 3 semesters. That means each time I come back home for the semester breaks or week frees I'm bound to see the ongoing construction. Well, man man lai, no need to rush anyways. I'm rarely here in Kampua Town, let alone driving on these roads :P

The sky is often beautifully cloudy with the "it's going to rain" look, now the roads are in a beautiful mess aligned with dumptrucks, excavators and dotted by slow men at work. What a sight.

Hardy-har-har. Look at the traffic jam the constructions caused. One can earn big profits here selling drinks or 4D results.

"Hey watch where you dump those parit dirt!" The closeness of you with these massive machines makes one to have second thoughts about the worthiness of washing cars.

Woooo... the houses which have the walls close to the roads are badly affected. What was once green patch of landscape has turned into this, um... this.... well from the picture it looks like a truck carrying fertilizers just got invovled in an accident and spewed its content al over the place.

speaking of road construction, the part near air port there, the last time me back in kampua town it's like that, this time me back again it's still like that~~ as mum said as long as the money didn't get into the pocket of the contractor, they will continue to man man lai, money is the motivator, the enzymes that get them to work faster~ i wonder will the same scenario gonna welcome me the first moment i step out of airport next year~
