Date and Day : 13/12/09, Sunday
Today Tiong came down all the way from Kuala Belait (KB), that's like 100km or so from where I stay.
While waiting for him, Serene, Shahrin and myself had coffee at coffeebean.
Welcome tiong !
Outside gadong centerpoint hotel.
We had lunch 11:45am at excapade sushi gadong.
Pinoy pinoy pinoy.
Some of the dishes we ordered. Good stuff.
Korean shahrin korean korean and Tiong my man !
So clumsy this korean fella. Spillage ! Wasting ehhh !
Serene trying sushi from pinoyland.
Tiong's trademark cap is everywhere. From perth to brunei.
Walking to Shahrin's car. He's the main driver for today.
We went to Kampung Ayer. Planned to go out a 1hr boat ride around water village and stuff.
Enthusiastic much.
Water village. Trademark of Brunei.
Many many years ago, all the buildings were built on water. I have no idea how they did it.
Quarry centre. Stones from temburong shipped all the way here. For what purpose? To stone people to death? joking. lols
High tide today. So sad, can't see any crocodiles.
The gang. L-R : Shahrin, Me, Tiong, Serene. (at the background is the boatman)
Mangrove area. Still no crocodiles...arghhh !
SNAP SNAP THE PROBOSCIS MONKEY ! Shake that ass !
Shake that tumour !
Went around to enjoy the scenery. Looked like it was gonna rain.
The Palace, Istana Nurul Iman.
Nakhoda Manis. Brunei Folktale known to most bruneian people.
Sultan Omar Ali Saifuddien Mosque. Another landmark.
Picture taken during boat ride.
Solid house.
The many many houses.
There are lots of primary schools, religious schools and 1 secondary school in the water village area.
After the boat ride, we walked all the way pass yayasan to tour at the mosque.
The perthie gang.
We reached there 3pm. Quite sad we can't see inside the mosque coz it's opened from 3pm-4pm for the public before people begin their praying sessions.
Tiny us.
Spot Tiong, the cool one.
Super humid there. We were all sweating like mad.
Walked over to kg ayer to have coconut water.
Cooling and refreshing. Look at tiong. Sweating non-stop.
Poor tiong.
Went over to the royal regalia. This is the place where all the royal items used during ceremonies and events are located. No pictures were allowed in here. I haven't been in here for 12years. Pretty decent change. It's also very cooling in here, we like. lols.
We went to Jerudong Park, used to be the main tourist attraction centre before it got abandoned. All the free rides and lotsa ppl there to brighten the atmosphere were a thing in the past. Now they reopened again, but very very few rides remaining. From 100+ before to 6-8 rides now.
Can only see tiong's hand touching the hoof.
Shahrin's fault lar he take picture like this one.
One of the many kids playground area.
I love bumper cars. So does shahrin. See his face. lols
Weish steady tiong !
Eh seatbelt please !
After many bangs and bumps...my phone which I placed on my seat dropped. At the end of the ride my phone became like so. Nevertheless, I managed to snap the pieces back in place and all is good !
Serene's first time at the merry go round.
Went over to tamu selera and had the ayam penyet at stall no. 3.
Spicy, good. I like !
We dropped tiong back at the hotel coz he had to go back. Quite late already around 9pm. After that we went over to kg. ayer stall to have satay ! It drizzled a bit.
Went back to the hotel for a bit, then I brought serene out to eat Kolo mee at Hing Han Hong or something like that. Not bad not bad coz singapore don't really have kolo mee I think. lols.
+1 point. HAHHA
We had coffee at coffeezone after that. This picture and the previous were taken using my mobile phone camera (Nokia N85) because my camera ran outta battery.
