Its' s been ages since I've witnessed THE parade on the street of Brunei..The parade was on 26th July, one of the biggest event during His Majesty's 62nd B'day.. the main reason for me to be excited was because it is happening just right outside our NEW moved in house..




Yeah, after a long tiring month of cleaning, repairing, cleaning again, moving stuff, loading and unloading etc..Finally we moved in on that historical day to coincide with the BIG parade.

We took a walk with the kids right after work, just 3 mins+ from our house (running actually), cross a two lane highway adjacent to our building and reach the tasek lama road where all the beautiful motor lined up. it was spectacular, really missed that atmosphere.. The kids are astonished though sweating coz I insisted Nuryn to wear hooded raincoat incase it will pour.. it was windy but the sight of the colorful decorated motors kept us going against the wind.


Nuryn was drench in her sweat, time to take off the jacket.

We continued admiring and walking, there was loud music too, it came from TelBru ..they dressed up as so-called alien or man from the future , there was under d sea theme from Shell companies, the clams was fully loaded with neon lights, and few others of course the mosque, kampong ayer, giant books, globes ya know the typical. We surely enjoyed the afternoon and we left around 6 couldn't wait for the lights to come coz the cloud was getting pretty dark ..

on the way back, thank god it wasn't raining. BIG thumbs up to everyone who worked hard for the parade..
