My Holiday In Belait (24 Jun 2008)

So, Last 24 June, I finally manage to persuade my dad to bring us to Belait, just to have two days vacation from home... Now, U might not think its far, but believe me, living in the far north of Brunei,U might find that going to Belait is worth a shot. For those of you who doesn't know where Belait is, Its in the far south of Brunei.

Okay, I'll Make Your Life Easier, Here's A Map of Brunei, Notice Where I live (Muara) And My destination (Kuala Belait).

Sister Is All prepared for the long, Gruelling, Boring, Nothing-Much-To-See-Along-The-Highway-Except-Trees Journey to Belait... Nothing more boring to cope up with the journey to Belait than the boring Jane Eyre. Dad did say its gonna be a 2 hour journey.

~Sis Qilah & Her Jane Eyre Novel~

Its my first tym going to Belait, so for me, the whole journey was very exciting.

Sis has neva been to Belait before also, but she's kinda in the pesimist side, thinking that the 2hour journey is just another boring trip.

Hahahaha

But I knew my sis well, U see.... She's always think that everything is bad, or meaningless at first, then as we progress through tym, she'll be quite happy again.

Anw, unlike my sis, who's having a great book to read, i got bored... really2 bored... so i kinda took some snapshots of Belait...

~Sumwer in Sungai Liang~

~Near To Kg Pandan~

~Err, I don't know what or where is that~

~No Idea o_O~

Through the internet, I did some research about the hotels in Belait, two of which caught my interest. Riviera Hotel on the banks of Belait River, and Seaview Hotel & Resort. My dad chose Seaview as it is nearer to the beach. So we kinda get the address of the Seaview Hotel, and its located somewhere in Jalan Maulana.

Big Problems are still ahead, my dad neva been to Jalan Maulana before!!!!

So days before my family's trip to Belait, I kinda get some infos about Jalan Maulana from my friend in belait, Tok Kaduk of PBB SMSA. Tanx Tok Kaduk... Hehehe, helpful lah his infos, and i get to know that the hotel is next to Soon Lee Supermarket.

Berpandukan imaginary map which is not drawn to scale from my dad's organizer, we make our way through belait.

Finally made it!!!!

Seaview Hotel & Resort!!!!

Hahahaha, so i was lyk searching for the beach wah, coz i couldn't find it anywhere, its lyk in the middle of a town kn. But, after I got to my room.... barutah ku nampak pantainya

~The view from my hotel room~

So, I was lyk, waaaaaaahhhh, good scenery, almost forgot that I'm still in Brunei. That Afternoon, Dad brought us around Belait Town, but we didn't get off the car. From the car, I could see the famous Tudung Saji Stall, but sadly I left my camera in my hotel room.

The most siok thing about sleeping in a hotel is that we can watch TV from the bed!!! I spent the whole night watching TV until I fell asleep. My sis was so sleepy after the long journey.

The next day, before we check out, we kinda spend 30 mins playing in the sand, breathing in the fresh sea-breeze. Later, we shop at Soon Lee Supermarket just a stone-throw away from the hotel.

Since Belait population are a lot lesser than Brunei dstrict's population, the goods are not in a high demand there, so we get to shop these high quality goods which exceeds the population's demand.

Mom got herself a bag, sis got herself 2 pairs of jeans. Dad, on the other hand, got himself a nice piece of clothing which I can't remember what it is. There's dozens of MP3, MP4 and mobile phones on display. Rows of beautiful blouses.

And All I could think of was foods to buy for the long, gruelsome, boring journey home.

It's Better"
