Trip To Brunei ‘07 - Day 1
Hi guys! If you're new here, you should subscribe to my RSS feed. TQ for visiting! :)
I finally got around to editing the pics I took for our Brunei trip. So first up, our way there!
I will do a proper post on the way to go there (using pictures and maps) soon, but in the meantime, here’s our adventure there.
Driver: WeiChuen.
Passengers: Moi and big bro.

Group pic before the trip!

Hafta get an energy drink ready, especially if you plan on leaving early in the morning! Make sure you have your passports and map ready as well. And since BF doesn’t know the way to Brunei at all (despite driven there before), I, as co-pilot, can’t fall asleep and hafta be alert at all times as well.

Stopped by several towns along the way to Sarawak, but the most memorable one was when we were in Mesapol town. I remembered on our first family trip to Lawas many donkey years ago, and my dad brought us to this restaurant to eat the very fresh mee soup. And this time around, we managed to take a pic of the guy who makes the mee in a traditional (?) way. Quite interesting oh..

But we were most dissatisfied with the road starting from Lawas up until the Trusan Immigration stamp office, where the road were all gravelled! It was pure torture! And look how slow BF went: 10km/hour only! Took us forever to get to the next stamping place! Arrgh!

But we liked going into the ferry, even if it was just a few seconds lol..

But by late afternoon, we finally reached this place: the last stamping place at Kuala Lurah in Brunei. Yeay!

I actually forgot to tell BF to turn right into Jalan Jerudong, and we just went straight ahead, which the area became more and more unfamiliar to me. So I told BF to turn back and look for Jalan Jerudong, despite him saying that we haven’t passed it yet. And I was right. We did passed it.
But I wasn’t truly at ease until I saw this signboard along Jalan Jerudong: the junction to Tutong/Jerudong Park! And right after we saw this sign, my job was practically done, and I could finally take a rest and just let BF drive the way to Lumut, which he knows.

And that night, sis and family brought us out for dinner nearby. And we sempat lagi did a quick pose before the food came lol..
Well, that’s our day one!
