Greetings From Brunei!

Hello hello! Day 2 of 4 in Brunei. I tell you, I is impressed with this country! It's super clean, super orderly, the people are VERY well-mannered, very hospitable. This place isn't as bad as what I hear people say. Went to Sultan Omar Ali Saifuddin Mosque yesterday night after dinner, and that is one breathtaking mosque! I love the lighting on the mosque at night. It is 50 years old, and it looks freaking new! The restoration works are just amazing. The carpet, design, mosiac tiles, paint, all look new. The minaret is undergoing restoration too when we went there. There's another grand mosque here, which is the present Sultan's mosque. Have yet to go to that one. Maybe tomorrow morning... Ooh and tomorrow morning we're going to Kampong Ayer, this water village where some 30,000 (I think) people live! It's complete with a school and even a mosque! Cool rite. Hahaha I'm like visiting the country for a holiday rather than the seminar. Hee hee. So the seminar ...

Off To See The King?

Off to Brunei tomorrow, will be back on Friday evening. And no it's not for holiday. Will miss you all. I hope Brunei is not as boring as what people tell me. Haha. But just in case, I will bring with me the 2 latest seasons of Smallville that I have not finished catching. Be back soon!
