School Holiday activities 4 my kids (Part 1)

School holidays started on 19th March until 28th March. I decided to do some holiday activities for my kids. My hubby won't around with us until end of March....oh we are missing him again. Last Friday I brought my kids, mum and sis to Brunei Museum and Malay Technology Brunei. No photo taking is allowed in the museum galleries, I could only take photograph at the museum lobby. Luckily there was a colouring and quiz activities, organised by the museum staffs. My kids joined the activities and at the same time we went to see the history and artifacts of Brunei Darussalam.

Naqib worked hard on his colouring

Next destination would be Malay Technology Museum

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..
