Tour around Brunei with Mr. Clement

Desmond's friend- Clement from Melbourne/ K.L was here=)
And I was the assistant tour guide for his trip, Desmond let you win this time, you are the LEADER lah. HAIZ. haha=D

However, Desmond & I were also sort of making our first visits to certain places although we have been staying in Brunei for more or less 18 years. Shameful to say, but yup, we really had never visited places like Brunei Museum, Tasek Merimbun...
Because of that, there's still excitement in this tour-guiding trip! HEHE=P

We basically covered three out of the four districts.

Brunei & Muara- tick
Tutong- tick
Temburong- tick (yay!)


DAY 1

Woke up early, it is something rare to miss spy cos she seldom wakes up early, whatever she admits she's a pig. BOO!

We just walked around bandar, visited mosque, Kampung Ayer, Yayasan...


A very nice photo taken by Clement.
( fyi all photos in this post are taken by Mr. Clement, credits to him)
HEY DESMOND! remember what the angmoh said to me! OH HE's JUST SO HONEST! not like you.
quick!! say I AM PRETTY one hundred times! HAHAHHAH XP or else, there'll be 'opening ceremony' again even after the 'closing ceremony' (sorry peeps, it's an inside joke)
To Empire, Desmond was being childish, TSK TSK.

DAY 2


Charcoal, can't believe that's my first time there.
I am 'SUA-KU' ( lack of education & knowledge)

Those are some of my childhood friends, and it was Mei's belated birthday dinner=)

- Tutong-

Thanks Des for waiting for the pig! There we went to Tasek Merimbun, always read it from textbooks during primary and secondary, and finally we went there!

We thought it's gona be a good idea if we can organize picnics, perhaps bbq as well? at the site in the future. really peaceful and quiet with beautiful scenery. =D
Okay, this was what we did when we went out of places to go already. SIEN=(
DAY 3

WOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

After 500 years (don't get confused, it's the way of how I exaggerate how LONG have it been=P) , finally we went on a tour to Temburong District!!!!!
Reminisced of the secondary Geography trip to Temburong, those old days...
Jungle trekking! WAH really old ord. Sweat like a pig (sorry haram), nearly went out of breath. WALIU...

The mobile line went from Brunei line and to Malaysia line (since it's near to Limbang and Lawas I guess), next time can bring Msia line there, call with RM to Malaysia! haha=P
Canopy walk! The feeling of fear showed how old we people are now.
Used to walk fast across the bridge in all 'layers' ( There are 5)
And we used to get certificates when we managed to climb all layers, but now no more dy. HAIZ SO DISCOURAGING! HHEEE
*Rotates! This is not the highest yet I guess.
This is the suspension bridge, din see this few years back heard it's new.
We chose not to wear the life jackets since it's so troublesome to wear it and take it off after crossing the bridge. I can swim but I swear I won't save Desmond cos he always says I'm .... 'not slim'.
Ready for lunch?
Included in the tour package! How sweet! Enjoyable!!! Cannot 'feel' it from the picture maybeh. but really it was!
The waterfall! Had an approximate 5 min walk into this waterfall place, Clement could walk faster with his Crocs rubber shoes and poor Des n I had to go through this torturing foot massage all along ARGHH it seriously hurt! To and back, not easy mannn...

It rained when we were returning to our boat, at least weather was pretty fine since morning. (we departed at 8am)
Fish Spa! People go and tryyyy! Itchyyyy jus like how it was at the fish spa I tried in KL (without paying, when we were with wanyen's sis, we just dipped our feets into the water when the staffs weren't looking!!! HEHE)
Longhouses.

Temburong trip ended around 2pm+ and after the speedboat journey (around 30-40min) we arrived at Kianggeh jetty at ard 3pm+
Worn out with SMILE=)

On the last day, we brought Clement to our 'mother-school' =)

Hope Clement enjoyed his Brunei trip, still I gotta say, there's really nothing much here in Brunei but people are just happy with what they've got here. I feel glad to be brought up here too=)

Thanks for the photos too!
