Life Of A Borneo Gurl

On the third day, we were also brought out by sis and family. This time, destination: Seria.

The pilot and co-pilot

The 2 little passengers behind us

I let niece Eu play with my camera, and she took this pic of us. Nice also kan? Pandai she take

So we’re here! Nice view huh..

Yup. We went to the One Billionth Barrel Monument in Seria (you can read more about this place here). This is actually our second time there, but I don’t think I blogged about this place the first time as it was some donkey years ago.. (get it donkey? This place? If don’t, then read this post until finish)

See that tiny speck at the bottom left of pic (lol..)? Yea that’s me

It was a beautiful and hot weather when we arrived there. The view of the trashcan spoilt this pic la ish..

Yea yea.. me posing with the monument

The sky was blue, the sand was white, and the grass was green. Beautiful.. Oh and not forgetting the nodding donkeys everywhere!

Don’t know what a nodding donkey is? It’s this!

Say hello to the Nodding Donkeys! The current one is green colour, and the old one used to be white colour

At the monument, it’s also a great place to relax, and as usual, WeiChuen being WeiChuen, started playing with the girls. Here, I asked him to pose with her, but she turned and ran to me instead lol..

Me and niece Eu. Purple colour rules!

And here’s us again with our Kodak moment

Still have a few more posts to do on the Brunei trip. Hope y’all bear with me hehe..

Okay let’s continue with the Brunei entries, since I still have so many things to post about when we were there!

So the main reason we went there in the first place was to attend our nieces birthdays, Eu and Qi. So on Saturday afternoon, the celebration was on.

The excited birthday girls

WeiChuen and I were put in charge of blowing up the balloons for the party, and we also managed to draw on some of the balloons for fun heheh..

Does it look like him? WeiChuen drew his face on the balloon..

And he also drew me. Well he TRIED to draw me, but he made me look like an old lady or something lol..

I think y’all know who this is..

The food and the cake. Everything was yummy! and the red eggs are a must for prosperity hehe..

The 2 birthday girls blowing out their candles

hehe.. kena ambil pic while eating.. luckily not godoot and have so much food on my plate

After the ceremony, my whole body was aching (been like that for a few days already lah) and sis suggested that I have a full body massage on this chair for 15 minutes, and an extra 10 minutes for a foot massage. Syok man.. and after the massage, went to lie down, and went to dreamland for at least 2 hours. Felt much better after that though! Lol..

So that’s the birthday post! And niece Eu’s actual birthday was actually yesterday. So Happy birthday again Eu! xxoo

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!
