Continuation of the previous post: Trip To Brunei ’07 – Day 2.

That evening, bro-in-law also brought us to Taman Peranginan Tasik, located in Bandar SB as well. We went here not to jog, but to check out the waterfall somewhere inside the park.

The entrance

How the park looks like

Here’s the waterfall. Beautiful, isn’t it? It’s nice to have a jogging park and a waterfall in the middle of a city. Very rare. Lucky Bruneians.

You can sit and relax while enjoying the waterfall and nature sound

And it’s also a perfect spot for phototaking. Here’s WeiChuen and I on our Kodak moment.

Inside the park, we also tried out the reflexology stones.

All the guys were complaining that their feet hurts especially WeiChuen. I guess the heavier you are, the more painful it is, huh..

But to me, it was nothing. Walking in high heels for the whole day feels even worse as compared to walking on these stones! And see, sempat lagi I put on a smile for a pose! LOL!

And another thing that we noticed at this park: the ants are HUGE!!

Then we left the park, and went to our next location for dinner. And on the way there, passed this beautiful mosque:

Pretty huh? Pic taken while the car was still moving lagitu.. Luv this pic.

Can’t believe our mini trip is over, and we’re going back tomorrow! Argh! So fast!!

On our second day, left the house at 7.30am for breakfast with family..

Quick pose in the car

Our mode of transportation during the time in Brunei

And we reached Seria town. Such a peaceful old town. Been like that for 30 (?) years now.

And we went for our breakfast.

Niece Eu and I did a quick pose again during breakfast hehe..

Then went over to some shops cuz sis Jewelle had to buy some things, and the kids had a great time playing with WeiChuen!

Hehe.. another quick pose, WeiChuen and I in the car on the way to Bandar, sans sis and her kids.

While all the guys were looking at some accessories in the car accessories shops, look what I found: crystals to put on my phone! LOL! But not cheap oh, B$12.50 per packet. Real Swarovski meh? I don’t think so lah..

Then we went to a car tuning workshop, and we felt like being in a Fast & Furious movie set, with all the nice cars being modified in there! Big bro was in car heaven!

Then we stopped by at CoffeeZone for some tidbits..

This is what BF had: Chocolate Mud Cake and a Milkshake for B$6.50. The mud cake was delicious!

And mine: fries and fried chicken, with mango iced tea for also B$6.50. Bargain man (in their money lah hehe..)

We also stopped by at The Mall in Gadong to further add up to our DVD and VCD collections.

For BF, it’s all about anime! And for me, it’s a Taiwanese boxed set (much cheaper than in KK lah! Ori summore!), and my Tagalog drama hehe.. Collection mah!

Will continue later. Am so tired, I’m practically asleep while typing out this post!

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.

Well, that’s our day one!
