Family outing (Part2)

Next destination was to Makam Sultan Bolkiah the fifth king of Brunei. It was situated at Jalan Kota Batu, not far away from the Brunei Museum. This was the first time my kids visited this Royal graveyard.

The graveyard is about 200 metres from the parking area

This grave was look ancient to me. No label at all....this could be one of the royal family

Then we reached another royal graveyard, Makam Sultan Sharif Ali the third King of Brunei...

All the way to the grave

Unfortunely the gate to the grave was locked....so sad. Luckily I can took a snap of it from the gate. But my kids were happy to be there. Maybe we'll be here again if we have time together.

Family Outing (Part1)

These photos were taken on the Friday the 25th February 2010. My hubby and I tried to spend our day by visiting some historical places with our kids. Our intention is to expose them to our Brunei's heritage and at the same time they learnt it through experience. We hope to see more of our heritage and will get rehabilitate forever.

Thank you Amina for the award

Wow !!!!

My first award from my friend in Pakistan.

Thank you Amina

I like it

All the way from Surabaya

They call these crackers 'Emping Belinjo or melinjo '..but in Brunei we call these 'ta-ngang'. These crackers are made from belinjo seeds. They are the small oval fruits of gnemon tree, which are both red and green, contain a seed which is used to make tentalising, deep fried crisps. I wonder how they make this belinjo crackers....My hubby bought these from Surabaya and each cost of about Br$4.00. They comes from different taste... sweet, sweet with chilli and original. But I still like the original belinjo.

My son loves the taste of sweet and hot belinjo

Amount of one packet...emmm crispy and tasty..

Menu 4 today

Now here am I again with simple menu. We have our breakfast with bread fried with eggs, cups of hot horlick and milo. My kids loved eating this fried bread dipped into myonis and chilli sauce.

Sweet sour pandan fried fish fillet was our special dish for our lunch....very simple and tasty.

Crispy Fried Banana ...emmm yummy for afternoon tea

Dinner was provided by my mum at her house. Wooops...since too excited with mum and siblings during dinner..I forgot to have some snaps of my mum's food....

Now no more worries & doubt... my kids confindently can swim....

It was happened and started during the holidays after staying at the Empire hotel that Me myself and kids need to learn how to swim. I was jealous to those people who can swim. Am I too old to learn to swim? No..I don't think so.

It was 5 years ago my hubby wanted to teach me swimming but I refused and lazy. I think at that time my mind focused with netball and jogging activities. Before, my kids couldn't swim in deep water and I had to look after them when they were at the pool. Alhamdullilah... now I am glad and happy all my kids and I can swim freely with no doubt at all. Thanks to my hubby who cares about us and taught us to swim. It took 2 weeks for us to become good and perfect swimmers. Soon we will learn other strokes apart from breast stroke and free style. I think this will be my new activity at 2010...
