Been a month since I ORD-ed. June has been quite a busy month for me.
June 9 - June 17
my grandma's house
My Grandma!
Went back to Brunei to visit my relative and my grandma. Got to say it look almost the same although a lot have changed! What used to be a long distance seems so short, guess is because I was a kid back then.
(the road i mention)
Childhood = go school, go home, watch cartoon, mum drive us go fetch my dad from work, then home, dinner, homework and more tv before sleep. Kinda miss the days all of us will sleep together in one room and i will insist to sleep in between my parents. And on every weekend, my mum will drive us to Labi to visit my grandma, and then drive us to seria to visit my grandpa. Not forgetting "Chenol" or so called "Chendol" in singapore drink which is my all-time favorite and the only thing I can recommend anyone who going to visit Brunei, Seria to try! Not sure whether Bandar(where I used to stay and NS guy go for RnR) there got or not cause I don't have ay recollection drinking it there.


Anyway, visited those place I used to visit when I was young, even though the Jerudong park is closed already, and I cannot accomplished my childhood dream of riding the roller coaster that I been dreaming to ride when I tall enough! I guess that the reason I not afraid to ride roller coaster, cause I been wanting to ride one since I was 5! Too bad I didnt get to visit my Primary school. Need to get a car in Brunei to go anywhere in brunei.
If I ever going back Brunei and if I got money, I will confirm rent a car! My aunt keep saying the "Next time you come back" kind of talk...but I really wonder how many more time I will go back. My mum mention she want to go back again once I finish my uni. hmm...
Going back, I realised how lucky I were born a Singaporean and staying in Singapore now. There is alot of public transport and anywhere is accessible without a car. There is lots of shopping mall and place to shop. Lots of good food. And also how lucky I am to get to local uni, dunnid to go overseas to study. I see my cousin, some go australia, some go canada to study and applying for their PR. Some in brunei, the pay not really that high. Need treasure the chance i have, not needing to leave the country (even though I would prefer to! wahaha)
Wanted to be a laidback trip, but I brought back an iPad preloaded with lots of video, so ended up watching video on iPad instead of walking around and exploring the forest area. Lot of mosquitoes too. scary!
Went to hongkong with my ASLC buddies!
Quite a fun trip and visited a lot of place of interest. Visited both Disneyland and Ocean park thank to my constant forcing! Luck was quite with us cause even the weather forecast showed rainy weather for everyday, we just happened to be in the correct place without rains! Initially didnt shop much cause I just wanted to see if nice then buy. ended up spending 300+ on clothes and new bag. I mean, I needed a new bag for school rite! but the shorts i bought cost me S$100+ alone!
the buddha
at the peak
Visited Shenzhen for Window of the World and Dongmen. and also for massage. Got to listen to their opinion too. all like damn tired cause I walked too fast...wahahhaa...3hrs, could have went for more shopping! Dongmen is like the ameyoko in tokyo! just cheaper! ok la, didnt really see anything i like so its ok.
Macau on the last 2 day. main attraction - Casino!
Thought the hotel i staying do not have casino end up got! dunnid to cross the road for Venetian (the casino inspired by venice) even though I also cross over to gamble...oops!
the view from our hotel in macau
Initially won HKD 1500 after venetian, But my friend want me to treat, so at the cafe in the middle of the casino in my hotel, I told them give me 5 min to win more money. Guess you know what happened next. in a flash, all gone! thus begin my emo night.
in the morning went back down with HKD500 and a ATM card. end up keep losing and I had to withdraw 3 times from the ATM for a total of hkd3500! lucky I managed to recoup and won hkd3500 back, losing only the hkd500 cash i brought with me. More gambling in the afternoon ended up with hkd 500 profit. After going to the so called town "Taipa city", went back to gamble and lose it. zzz...before that, I already pass hkd4000 to my friend to safekeep and prevent me from using if i lose. and I have to beg him damn long and he refuse to pass to me. lucky another gambler friend help me ask for it and I won hkd 500 before we leave for the airport.
Moral of the story - Stop me from stepping into casino!!!!
Still, I must say, I enjoyed this trip very much thanks to the company!
