a/n: I promised that this post is not as long as the previous one. xD but it is still considered long so brace yourself! (again)
. . .
So, our apartment.
I don't know how much it cost the committee but it was a good place to stay.
I was very please with the utilities provided inside the room. we were worried not being able to cook our instant noodles properly but as we when inside, we really worry for nothing.
We didn't get to use the cooking utensils, coz we scared they had been used with pork (as you know, muslim can't eat pork thus cn't use the same utensil that had been used with pork either).
Lucky we brought our own spoon/fork/bowl. xD
We only fully utilized the microwave and the water boiler. even the fridge kami inda on. coz we were not sure what to put inside it.
we didn't get to work the TV/Cable on our first night. but after much try from our sucky Tagaytay trip, we finally made a break through. LOL and watched the Last Samurai (or the Last Samurai watched us sleep hahaha).
my supervisor is ever so cheeky. Lucky my face is covered! She took this On Friday. this was posted in our Unit Whatapps chat at 5:54am. you see how the light outside so bright?
I only found out that in the Philippines, the sun is up so early. like at 5:30am, it was like 6:30am-7am in Brunei. On Friday, 14th, my super woke up around 5:30 and couldn't go back to sleep.
On Saturday, 15th, we both woke up at 6:30am and was bored. LOL
I was never an early raiser during vacation but i think the fact that the curtains weren't the 'block out the light' kinda curtain made us woke up early.
Saturday, 15th of the 'Getaway', we were given a breakfast, 7am-11am. me and super went up to 64th floor at around 8am and was greeted by the sight of the 'touring agent' preparing slides, projector, and speaker with some Azure banner standing on the sides. I voiced out my thought to my super "don't tell me durang kan bagi briefing untuk jual durang punya property" to which my super said, "eh inda kan" and we both decided to quickly finished the breakfast and left. which we did. this is what we called 'ada udang disebalik batu'; bagi kami breakfast free but we had to listen to them trying to 'sell' their property.
once again, ani vacation kh, business kh?
When we got back from the trip, I found out people got stuck and had to listened to the briefing for half an hour.
tsk.
So, by 9am we prepared in our room for our shopping trip; SM Megamall and Greenhills Shopping Centre.
SM Megamall is the typical shopping mall with lots of branded brand. I was mostly excited when I see a bookstore (or two) hahaha.
I only shopped at SM Store for bags. coz I was saving my money to shop at the supposedly cheap bargain at Greenhills. hehe
and Shopped I did. but again, not as extravagant as my super. LOL
this place had two tingkats, the ground floor was mostly baju, bags, and some dried fruit stall while the second floor was all phone cases and other gadgets.
Jewelries Stall (Not mine)
Bags Stall (Not mine)
Clothing Stalls (Not mine)
the second floor full of Phone Casing Stalls and other gadgets like phone, power banks etc (Not mine)
Of course, my only regret was not finishing all my Pesos at Greenhills; I should have bought at least 5 more phone cases, 10 more baju, and at least a Bag. hahaha
I only bought 1 phone case, 7 baju and no bags.
Oh I found the EOS lipbalm I've been wanting to buy on ebay. this one is mint flavor.
but when I open it in Brunei, it smells funny and I don't dare putting them on my lips. :S and it expires next year in September. 0_o ciplak tah jua banar.
I guess, now i had to buy the original from ebay. probably safer.
We got back to the apartment at around 8pm. we did go jalan for awhile to Century City Mall which is the smallest of Mall i've ever been into and it's the nearest mall to our apartment. After that we went back to the apartment and explore the 4th floor.
there's a video game room, snooker room, (where I took picture with the famous phonebooth) Movie room and a library.
We were told when we arrived on the night of 13th Aug that we were allowed to use the 4th floor amenities. Like, when did you ever spend all your time in the hotel amenities during a 3 days vacation? for me, NEVER. but it was cute of them to think that Bruneians actually will spend their time in those amenities room. Most Bruneians ideas of a vacation is shopping! and there are also some like me who preferred spending all day in a theme park. hahah never had I actually stayed in a hotel other than during night time to sleep. hahaha
. . .
with posts this long, I don't think it'd be wise to continue to post with the August Challenges.
