Season Holiday 2011

I was too busy to update my blog. I went around and shopping and busy schedule. December is the month of full  enjoyment and holiday mood but I was unable to apply for leave. This season.. i was just snapped some Christmas season around here in Brunei.

U went to the Empire Hotel and country club in Jerudong area. One of the Luxury hotel in Brunei.

 

Beside that, i had the opportunity to go back of the Riverview hotel where they built house and inside is so much decoration such as underwater world.. christmas, Maze and also the Ghost house. I refused to go in the Ghost house because that will not be good to my mentally.

 

Then finally is the House of snake. I used to love to snap photo with snake. My favourite pet is not snake but I just like to take a good photo with snake.

Before I left the riverview.. finally i took photo with my brother old car. And night time went to the NBT yearly decoration. This year; the Christmas theme is known as The house of Candy...

Technology Expo (TechXpo) 2011

I went to the XPO twice.. since the launching.. Started on 27th October 2011 and ended till 30th October 2011. This Xpo gathered 60 companies from both local and foreign countries, the TechXpo offers visitors and participants a wide range of IT and IT-related products and services ranging from educational tools, automation systems, healthcare products and domestic appliances.


On Friday (28 Oct 2011), I went there and brought along my Thomas and Joshua.. They seems very excited when I told them about the Xpo especially about the Angry Birds and in the ANIMAL PARK. i snapped few photos of them... and here we go..

Personally, i like the place especially Mirror because inside was so dark.. really build in 3D and it is danger inside if the children are not accompany by their parent... I cant even snap the photo inside because it is really hard to differentiate which is real and with is mirror.... 

Charity and Donation

Just few days before Raya, i joined the charity organised by both B Mobile Telecommunication Company and also the Association of Brunei Youth (previously known as Sound of HOPE)... to do some charity works. The planned is to visit 14 poor family around the Brunei Muara District. We arrived at the B Mobile company around 8 30 am and then I saw them carried all the donation things into the office cars. As planned, the houses we planned to visit is land and water village. I do not had the opportunity to visit the water village "kg Ayer" which I fond of going because they go there at 1 30 pm . The weather is really killing me in the late morning and also in the afternoon. Hot and Haze... this weather is not healthy as many will fall sick. My throat get irritated and I was weak for the whole afternoon. That make me cancel my afternoon visit...

I managed to snap few photos today.. Some photos are confidential because it related to other people dignity and also can't be published here due to CONSENT NOT YET OBTAINED.

Picnic with the Kiarong staff

This is the first time in year 2010.. I went to Beach... I was avoiding sunlight for most of my time since I 've been diagnosed with Malignant melanoma end of last year (2009). This picnic and outing was organized by lots of staff from Kiarong and also Occupational Therapy. I was happy during that time. Occupational Therapy organized few games and divide the patient into few group and supervised by the doctors and Nursing staff... This is the photos from the outing...

Day before the picnic, I am exciting yet bit anxious also... I know I shouldn't expose much to the sun but i know I can't  avoid the sun forever. I put on the Sunblock with SPF 130+ .. and went to the picnic. The food was nice and look 'yummy' but still I can't eat all the food. I ate only the Fried Meehoon and drink the water prepared by the staff. We reached there around 9 30 am and back to ward at 2 pm...

 

During the College time, I had a group of closed friends make up of 10 person (include me)... This is one of them.. Sea De....

 

Public Holiday - Hari Raya Aidiladha

Today I wake up very early to play my facebook games. Then as planned, Me, My sister and her sons went to mall to see the Megamind3D... I like the movies although it is not logic... for children...

The Synopsis of the movies:
Megamind is the most brilliant super villain the world has ever known. And the least successful. Over the years, he has tried to conquer Metro City in every imaginable way. Each attempt, a colossal failure thanks to the caped superhero known as "Metro Man," an invincible hero. Megamind decides that the only way out of his rut is to create a new hero opponent called "Tighten," Except Tighten doesn't just want to rule the world, he wants to destroy it.
 Megamind must decide: can he defeat his own diabolical creation? Can the world's smartest man make the smart decision for once? Can the evil genius become the unlikely hero of his own story?

Watching movies is not my hobby... but once in a while going to the cinema make me feel fresh, alert and happy... This is few photo that I took while in the mall, Gadong. When I arrived, many of the shops still closed...

Early morning... the mall is quiet since not many people going there.. May be people are still sleeping or busy with some family gathering and religious activity going on here... 

 

After the movies finished, we went to the McDonald and take away the food. This is the photo taken in McDonald, Gadong...

Ciledug Market in Cirebon

Cirebon(formerly referred to as Cheribon in English) is a city on the north coast of the Indonesian island of Java. It is located in the province of West Java, approximately 297 km east of Jakarta.

When I reached Jakarta, it still took me approxiamtely 4 hour and above to reach Cirebon by Train. If travel by motocycle, the journey perhap will take 7 to 9 hour reaching to destination.

Before I went back to Jakarta, my sisters brought me to the small market called "Pasar Ciledug" where they lived nearby. I went to the market by public transport and went back home by "kereta kuda." Actually I had nothing to buy there, my intention to go to the market is just to snapped few photos and publish here. Let see what I got :

Now we go inside:

In Brunei, most of the weighing machine is like this in the market:

First Raya Celebration at Cirebon

I travelled from Jakarta to Cirebon at 11 30 am. It took approximately 4 hour journey by train. Once we arrived in Train station at Gambir, Jakarta, it was such a long queue. The seat was unavailable but we still bought the ticket. At the end, we have to seat on the floor with hot and uncomfortable and limited spaces... but after all, I like this kind of experiences..because it teach me how to be strong and independently. Every time I went to jakarta, it always make me feel that I am so lucky being a Bruneian under the Rule of His Royal Majesty Brunei.

Tonight, I requested to go out and had a looked the Ciledug village. Fortunately, I brought my digital camera with me. This is what I encountered.

This is normal culture of Sundanese. This is kind of an entertainment and perform by a group of people. Some of them dance, play musics instrument and some do sing and some help in carry the things. The name of this show is called "Burok". They will go to house at requested and for rent purposes. This show usually will be performed during some festival such as Raya Celebration, when a person in the house is having circumcision or "bersunat" and also on every 17 august. This is because on that day, this kind of show will enrolled in the competition to choose the winner of Burok.

Personally, I always likes and interest in other people cultures especially art & theatre, calligraphy and songs. It always make me feels calm and an eye opener for me.
