18th January 2010. Woke up late for a change. Had lunch at the Japanese restaurant. π
Then we went to Yappy for a while to see Yanti, she was going to leave for Japan today! Incidentally, Orange and Adi were going to leave for Malaysia too. π
MissM, Red Parade (Amni) and I went to the Royal Regalia. Too bad we cannot take any photos inside the premise but I tell you, the museum rocks! I really liked the Bruneian uniforms, especially those of the black soldiers. Very stylish π
Bought some souvenirs for my family and friends back while I was here.
Then off to the airport to see Yanti off first, then Orange and Adi.
Later that night, there was an SRDC preview. I had to check it out and see how the Bruneians did theirs, so I could borrow elements of improvement for ourselves back in Malaysia. π
Met with UpperCrust too – was in touch with her on Twitter until I met her in person! Too bad she wasn’t feeling well (hope it’s because of not me! :-P) Nah, mere coincidence. π
Met Meiji too… and funny thing about Muizz…
Encountered Muizz 5 times today!
1. At the Japanese restaurant (he so happened to be there)
2. At Yappy (he was also seeing Yanti off)
3. At the airport (followed us!)
4. At the SRDC preview (taking photographs as the cameraman)
5. Followed us to McDonald’s and MissM’s house for Smart Money game later!
No wonder his ORI nick is “watchme”! π
Speaking of McDonald’s you might be wondering why I took this pic. It’s special really. Because this is the one and only McD’s in Brunei! π
We were at MissM’s house playing Smart Money until the wee hours of the morning, 4AM!
Was funny. There was one part of the game I had NO CASH AT HAND and I drew an Expense Card: it was a dinner annivessary with my loved one and it cost $15. Clifford had to loan me to pay that off, HAHAHAHA! I called him “Uncle Clifford” ever since π
Though I finished the games with the least cash at hand, but hey I got out of the Rut… YAY YAY! π
19th January.
Aww… time really flies when you’re having too much fun. Heart felt heavy and wished I’d stay at least one more day.
Here I said bye bye to Muizz and MissM…
Thanks for showing me around Brunei and thanks for your generosity too! π I look forward to see you all again back in Malaysia soon… and hopefully when we come to Brunei again – as a group! :-))
