Di sebabkan malam tadi hampir semua orang tido lambat, maka ramailah yang terlepas semayang subuh ekekekek... Kuar-kuar tengok sungai (konon nak melayan perasaan tepi sungai) terserempak dengan 2 ikan duyung (S ngan H) tengah celup-celup kaki dalam air... aku apa lagik... terus ler pi join diorang sekali.. kerja-kerja menambak sungai untuk buat empangan bermula 7 pagi dan berakhir 11:30 pagi. Makanan pagi tu was nasi lemak and puding castard.. sayangnya sambal nasi lemak tu sikit... sedap woooo... pekat!


Puan A came by and everbody, hahahaha kene plak amik IQ TEST!!! Nasib baik IQ ku betul2 at the first point dalam kategori GOOD. Hahahah saspen gak kalau2 IQ rendah kan? After IQ test, we played Gestures, aku tak main sebab perutku kembung (as it is memang sentiasa kembung pun!) So, jadik photographer ler... lepas tu main Statue Dance aka Mikey dopey dance game ekekeke. Memang seronok tengok Mike menari... macam ulat.. menguit-nguit hahahaha. Souvenirs were handed to everyone and then semua start packing... nak balik dah... uwaaaaa! Lepas ni dah takde dengar bunyik sungai masa tido.. best woooo hehehehe... ok la, lain kali bleh datang lagi ke Janda Baik... walaupun takde pun jumpa janda di sana....eh ada janda la... tapi biarlah rahsia kuang...kuang...kuang... janda jahat se Malaysia tau...

This is the first time CS staff goes out on a company retreat. Our destination - Janda Baik @ "Taman Hana, Wadi Hussein".

Everyone gathered at Projet Gombak before moving in convoy to Janda Baik. Arrived at Janda Baik slightly after 1pm - hahahah terlepas junction to Janda Baik sebenarnya.... heheheheh.samapi-sampai terus kemas-kemas and ada yang tak sabar2 nak mandi. Puan N brought pulut kuning, nasi impit, rendang and kentang goreng berlada... wahhhh sedap wooo and someone brought nasi lemak.. makan sama-sama and then Tuan Syed Hussein Alattas spent about 2 hourswith CS staff bercerita tentang sejarah Taman Hana, Wadi Hussein dan falsafah-falsafah hidupnya yang ingin dikongsi bersama 'adik-adik' dari CS.

That night we had BBQ - Ya Allah makanan punya la banyak... yang gemuk makin gemuk... yang kurus tetap kurus jugak sebab yang gemuk dah perabih makanan depa. Candles and pelita were lighted around the BBQ area creating a very cosy ambience. Ada sesi nyanyi menyanyi sambil gitar dimainkan oleh TL maka terserlahla bakat-bakat penyanyi yang terpendam di kalangan staf CS... muahahahahahah!

Lepas penat melalak, ramai yang pi jalan-jalan keliling taman Pak Habib yang dipenuhi kolam dan pokok-pokok dari lebih 30 negara. Ada jugak yang main JENGA... ahahahaha aku antara yang terlibat dalam perlawanan penuh emosi JENGA. Tapi ada jugak yang dah duk dalam hutan tepi sungai... masih nak bermesyuarat hahahahah jangan marah ye!

Last-last semua terbongkang kat tengah hall tido.... tak sabar tunggu esok! Nak berenang beb!

Leaving for KL today. After breakfast headed for the airport via the hotel shutle. The driver was a Malaysian, from Miri, Sarawak. Seems there are many Malaysian working in Brunei, especially those from Sarawak.

I've had had no chance to explore Brunei when I was here but the visit was short and pleasant. What was special was the people, the culture, which i thought was similar but somewhat different to those practiced in Malaysia. One obvious thing is Bruneians are very soft spoken and gentle. Even the language, even though the same one spoken in Malaysia, has a slight difference in it - 'anda' in Malaysia means 'you' but in Brunei means 'Us'.

Took a direct Brunei Airlines to KLIA. I love Brunei Airlines because they make ir a practice to recite the prayers before departure - something different from other airlines in the world.

After breakfast, took the hotel shuttle to another hotel about 25km off town where it was nearer to the meeting venue. Went to the meeting with an acquantance's car. The meting ended after lunch time and returned to the hotel.

Took the opportunity to walk around town - well there were nothing else to do. So i took pictures of bandar Seri Begawan, went to the same shopping complex and bought some souvenirs for family and friends.

Returned to the hotel at night via cab (Cabs here are costly - about RM25 per trip) Used the hotel Internet to send report for today's meeting to the big boss and went to bed after that.

Since this is a business trip, had to go to the office first. From the office at about 11am, took the PUTRA LRT to Kuala Lumpur Sentral and checked in at the KL Terminal. The check in staff was busy yackity yacking with his friend and spelled trouble for me later on.

Took the ERL to KLIA and the MAS flight to Kota Kinabalu was delayed for about an hour. Arrived KK International Airport and had to rush to the check in counter for Brunei Airlines to Bandar Seri Begawan.

Earlier at KL Sentral I was told that my baggage would go striaght to Brunei and I need not check them in at KK. Arriving Bandar Seri Begawan i realised that my baggage did not arrive - delayed until the next morning because i was suppose to check in to Brunei Airlines. Thank you to the yackity yacking KL Sentral airport staff.

Since there is going to be a business meeting early tomorrow, I decided to go shopping for clothes and toiletries. Walked to the nearest and only shopping complex in Bandar Seri Begawan (there is another shopping complex but not within walking distance) and shop for the necessities.

Took a cab back to the hotel (very friendly staff but was rather empty) and rested. Early day tommorow!
