Closing of Raya Celebrations

We went to, what I think, is the last of the Raya Open Houses tonight. A nice small gathering. Us men sat outside tonight, and after the heavy rain early evening, it was nice and cool, and refreshing. The ladies stayed indoors.

The food was typical Raya food...it was the jokes and the sitting down together that made the difference.

Good bye Syawal, insyaAllah we meet again next year!

With Rain Comes The Flood


We were going down to Tutong this morning, and it was still raining since last night. We suspected it'll be flooded in some areas, and I decided to use my pick up truck..Yup we we right, flood spots here and there, and what usually takes half an hour, took us more than an hour.

Again, be extra careful...forecast is that it'll be wet for the week!!


These photos were taken at Kampong Sinaut, right infront of the masjid..

National Environment Conference Luncheon

Rain Again...

It's been raining for almost the whole day now, and it's 7pm already. Started raining today around half-eight this morning...it's kinda cool and refreshing..




A word of caution to all us drivers though! Check your tyres please!!! If they're bald ("no flower" as us Bruneians would say it..) change them.

Sundays most tyre shops are open anyways.


Be safe on the roads ok! Wear seat belts! Keep headlights on - especially in heavy rains! Keep to the speed limits - and do drive slower if necessary...

Cheers!
