Walk down memory lane... (updated with photos)

Had a busy weekend. Saturday night, I was covering the BSRC Berhari Raya event at the invitation of the BSRC President, Hj Idris, with the help of my son Zul273 and BB. (I was the BSRC President in 1999)

The Bruneian artists... we should really be proud of them

Sunday was an adventure day. I went with a combination of a group of 4X4 enthusiasts and 4X4 Professionals to Sukang. What started as an easy journey into Sukang, turned into an exciting and challenging home journey due to the heavy rain. Whilst the journey in only took less than 3 hours, the journey home took about 8 hours for some of the team members. (I used to teach in Melilas in 1984-5 and Sukang was our transit point and all our journeys was by boat at that time. This was my first return to Sukang since Dec 1985!)

We saw these interesting lines on the sand

and saw that it was done by this man, (with the Billionth Barrel Monument and...

a Drilling Rig in the background)

and when we peeped into his pail, this is what we saw

and realised what he was looking for.

View of Sentosa Island from Vivo City.

Brilliant colours. It brightened up the day even though it was raining.

Whilst waiting in the airport.

That's the plane we were waiting for. (Photo in HDR) Well it's there, it's just that it's not moving until it's fixed. The pilot told us it was something to do with the emergency door. Well, to be honest, I didn't actually paid much attention to the announcement. I was just happy that we were on our way home. The 1.40 pm flight at last took off at 6.30 pm and landed in Brunei at 8.10 pm.
