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 was, hmm, okay. I get the impression that the Bruneians live in a Utopian world, or at least, they strive for that and on the surface it does seem that way. But whether it is that way underneath the pleasant exterior, I can't tell. But there was a little glimpse, where a woman, when taling about divorce, got all excited. When she was asking a question, it was almost like she hyper-ventilated! She sounds like a suppressed lady. Oh well, maybe she's a minority. But then har, I always feel such people will explode one day. There's only a limit to how patient and tolerant you can be. Haha. But but. Maybe here it's a little different.
Ah damnit my face is starting to become dry. I dunoe why whenever I go overseas (even if it's KL) my face will be dry. Maybe cos I spend more time in air-con. Hmm.
I can't wait to go home, though. I miss the people in my life. And I know one person who confirm misses me - Shez! HAHAHAHA. How's office life without me, woman? ;)
