This year, there weren’t that many stalls and I kept bumping into relatives. All assume that Wafi is my boyfriend which I kept assuring them he’s only my friend. This is what relatives always assume everytime they see a friend of the opposite sex. The purpose of this is so that they can tease you. So I have to always lay out the facts correctly. Hahaha!
I managed to get my sotong tutuk and fruits. Wafi was hungry so we went off to Batu Bersurat to eat satay for dinner but before we went there we looked at the cucul (decorated light ornaments) around bandar and at the Istana (palace). Just by looking at all the decorations and feeling the festive vibe, I felt like I was back in my youth enjoying it though the weather was a light drizzle.
After dinner, took a tour to Giant. MY FIRST TIME EVER! Well, only from the outside. Then we went out of rimba and headed back home. Wafi thanks for giving me a tour around my home country *LOL*.
The following day I went out with Dina to have my hairwash and Dina wanted to try out a facial voucher. So we venture through Gadong and went all the way to the back of the building. I got my hair wash and cut then decided to go for a massage which I find it unsatisfying as I’m still feeling achy. Leaving the salon, we went upstairs to check Dina’s facial shop.
It didn’t take us that long to stay as the voucher was only to use if Dina use their product and services at a certain amount. Talk about unexpected disappointment. So, we went for lunch at Misato because I was craving for sushi. I even insisted her to watch The Dark Knight with me. Overall, we loved the movie! I couldn’t stop covering my mouth when Joker puts a knife in his victim’s mouth every time he goes “Do you want to know how I got these scars?”- Sorry for the spoiler.
After the movie head on to Rody’s office. Then Rody insisted that we go shopping for the cocktail pudding ingredients at Hua Ho. When we were done with the shopping, it down poured and windy for us to walk back to Rody’s office and had to wait for the rain to stop which was like never. Our first plan was to have Rody’s workmate to pick us up but we end up scampering back in the rain with the help of Dina’s umbrella and Rody covered his head with his bag.
Soon as we arrived back, I told Rody, that Dina and I decided to dine in at Singapore Chicken rice for dinner which was just a two doors next to Rody’s office. Rody join us for dinner and it was such a giggle for us because Dina kept on whining that she was hungry but Rody was the first one to finish his chicken rice. Shows that he was hungrier than Dina. After dinner, sat for a few minutes at Rody’s office and surfed the internet as always my internet connection sucks big time! Soon, I sent Dina back to her crib and off I went back home to Tutong.
Sunday, the last day of the week went outside my crib rollerblading with my new skates! Had the cats following me and someone accompanied for 5 minutes. Haha. Dymn got beaten by rubber Adidas shoes *LoL* Soon, had sweats coming out and I decided to stop rolling and played with my cats on the swing. Haha. The cats acted weird as if an earthquake had hit as I push them on the swing.
The Following week 21st July.
Monday was always a blue day but had the ball rolling for preparing my Malay Interview for the Scholarship. I didn’t do much but was able to get a lot knowledge with the help of family and friends. Thanks everyone for helping out! Knowledge is essential! Always remember that.
That night, went to Excapade to have dinner with Rody. He treated! Thanks buddy! The road to Qlap was awfully jammed because of the festive celebration going on at Bandar (City). We both had bentos for dinner but Rody had beef and I had chicken. I ordered the enoki butter and salmon sashimi for add ons. We talked about local fruits (because its the season now in Brunei), Rahimah’s admission to UBD (University of Brunei Darussalam), my trip to KL and other stuff which we paused when we heard the fireworks being played outside at 8.30pm.
When I was done with my bento, we ended dinner and head back to our cars and it started to drizzle. Took his tray for the cocktail and off I went to avoid the jam which was still there! Gosh, from the time that I arrived around 7.30pmish to 9pm. Well, even before I arrived there, the jam was already there! As soon as I return, I started on Rody’s cocktail pudding and went to bed after putting it into the freezer.
Tuesday. Went out on a lunch date with my bestfriends; Yulz, Masz and Ekin. It’s been years since I’ve met Ekin. She’s happily married and she still the Ekin we love back in highschool. We had lunch at Ideal at Gadong Properties. We were LoLing non-stop, one story to the other. Masz was over-LoLing because she was laughing with her head on the table *LOL*
Got on Yulz’s car and went off to Le’Apple to book a cake under Masz and then sent Ekin back to work. Soon I was drop off to my car and I headed to Tutong town to buy some cocktail ingredients at Hua Ho with a companion. Haha. I’m sooo putting this person in the unknown position. Return home and took an afternoon nap. Later that night after dinner, I started to make three batches of cocktail pudding for my aunts and my family.
Wednesday was the day my little sis, Rahimah came back from Bangkok. I had to wait for 30 minutes for her plane to land but there were a small commotion earlier on where this Dr.Sheikh a famous Malaysian Astronaut and doctor and I don’t know what else his specialties are which I heard from my best friends who seriously adores him. So for my readers you can read his biodata here.
I was like “who the heck is that dude? Never seen him before” and ignored the commotion while I was dreading to wait for my sister to land. Finally the announcement of my sister’s flight made me ease a litte unfortunately, it took my sister a litte while to exit. Must be that she sat at the back of the plane, or her bags came a little late at the belt. However, I was glad that she arrived safely.
We then went over to Rody’s office for a while just to send his cocktail pudding *finally* and he seems happy to see it and waiting to dive into it. Haha. We left to head back home and Rahimah wanted to make her uniform that very night. Saf was around and wanted to join us. We made a pitstop to my Angah and Uwa’s house. I gave them the cocktail pudding and my treats from Melbourne for them. We had a long conversation with Angah.
It was getting a bit late to go to our tailor. When we arrived at my tailor, they were open for the whole night because they have a lot of clothes to tailor for the upcoming festive season- Hari Raya. Thankfully, they were kind enough to make my sister’s uniform. I saw my clothes already done for my bestfriend’s, Sur, wedding.
Alas, I finally get my rest! Hence, hoped that Thursday I could sleep in! Which I did! Ahaha! So I’ll continue my next post with Friday regarding Sur’s nikah (wedding). Hopefully this will keep u for the next post.
P.S I miss posting pictures on my blog...so I tried one with this awful connection and zilch, connection error. Sigh! Pictures will be available once I return to Melbourne.
