Happy Holidays
This goes out to those anonymous readers as well..
I just got back from Kota Kinbalu tonight..Yes tonight..Our journey was more than 7 hours (Say what?!)..it’s the same as going to Dubai from Brunei but by air transport..Talking about land transport i.e cars which we spent for hours sitting in; was oh-so Midevil..
But going ’Convoy’ on very long road trips was more appealing than I had expected..There was altogether four families..Each with their own cruiser..including our’s ofcourse..The whole family shared an appartment for four days and three nights..Everything was going so swell with my cousins and all..Well despite the fact that; theres only three bathrooms to focalize 20 person..heh’
So if you have any plans on going for long road trips..Try going convoy with families or friends..Because come to think of it..You’ll feel like there’s always someone looking out for you: One of my uncle supplied us with Walkie-Talkies’ for each family..Really useful a) It keeps us on track with each other b) Inform one another about the road, traffics, cars and so on c) But nonetheless there’s always some jokes to be tossed around on the count of entertainment :D
But today..On our way back home..It was just silent..Well, regardless to the trafficking news each family divulge to each other..but it was just silent..Usually there were funny things along the road to joke about..I guess we were really exited on going to KK rather than going back from it..Who wouldn’t..(?!)
What were our programs?
Day 1: We Arrived to our destined appartment by 430PM..Later that night we went straight to shopping at 1Borneo..
Day2: We went shopping again at various malls and shopping places..Mainly because of the ladies! Heh’ That evening, went to 1Borneo again for the 2nd time!
Day3: I could say its one of the best day I’ve ever had at KK..That morning, a 2 hours trip to Mount.Kinabalu resort! The journey ‘into the clouds’ was great..If you know what I mean. Then we had BBQ there and..had an overnight stay.
Day4: Woke up early in the morning to catch a glimpse of Mount.K’s peak..Then went back to the appartment..Later: Went to this shopping mall and blagh..Shop!
Day5: The least favourite day..Which is today..Trip back to Brunei..Arrived home by 8PM Sharp! And of course tyring!
I’d be lying if I said I didn’t snap any photoshots during my stay at KK..Well just stay tune for em’s..
Yawn…Feels like I should hit the hay!
-Signing off. W.

Shadow of the day
We went to Covent Garden in the afternoon..So far this was my favourite place i've been to..Yet.
Its because there are several people street acting and making shows/performances of their own on the streets where people are walking by..expecting people to give out some cash..this is normally common in London though..we can find these people just anywhere we go..but not in Covent..its a place where they show you their talents..hehs'
This is what i was talking about..
This one was funny :D
This guy was sitting from a stick attaching to only one wheel at the bottom...Starts juggling with two hands, while the other two feet cycles..
And this guy..does it for a living..standing and balancing himself on a 10 feet ladder without anything holding it from the bottom..
Then starts juggling 3 pointedly sharp and solid swords..
I dont blame these people you know. And to make it clearly i am not trying to do what-so-ever to make fun of them..apparantly these people were not paid to be here..and the only people giving them money are the people who came to watch their show..and FYI their shows are not buy-a-ticket-get-a-seat..You just stand around it and watch it for free..and after the show ends they are expecting you to give out some of your money..and to make more money, they have to make more people..and to attract more people they're doing the most dangerous and risky stuffs just for the sake of money....
.Picadilly Circus.
Not really a circus, just the name..its a traditional focal point of London..Lots of shopping places, statues, peoples, cars even stretches (Limosine)
Huge screens, advertising brands, commercials...
Ripley's Belive it or Not museum in London..
The street
Told you there where Limo's..and this one is stretchingly long..
I need to know who's in it!
I liked this one..a hummer limosine..
We can hardly find this in Brunei..
.Buckingham Palace.
We were intending to visit her majesty's palace..its a long way there from the subway station..
We have to cross Green Park to get to the palace which is stretching to more than a metre's long :P
The season of Autumn explaining the fallen leaves....
Finally we have reached the palace..just look at the tourists gathering in front of the gate..
The statue in front of the palace..
A closer view of the palace..huhu..Guess who lives in it..The Queen of England!
Closer view of the guard..standing infront of the palace..
Unluckily us, today the guards are not performing the marching ceremony..
And though, if the gates we're not closed..i'd be sitting with the queen drinking tea by then..LOL!
.Knights Bridge.
Im sorry, we went to Knights Bridge two days ago..hehe..its just that i didnt have the time to post it..we went there by taxi to shop at Harrods..
