Brunei ku tumpah darah ku, Ku cinta sepanjang hayat ku… Posted on 24/02/200702/12/2009 By Reedz Update 25/02/07: The slideshow is up. You can view it by clicking here. I was in Form 4 when the 1st National Day Parade took place at the Stadium. I remember going with my dad and younger brother. My dad had a Nikon SLR with a zoom lens then and he let me play with it for a bit and that was the first time I had ever handled one. Since then, I only watched the proceedings every year on the telly in the comfort of my living room. But as Johnson put it: It’s not the same. You don’t sweat. You don’t get feel the heat.

You don’t have to park 2 km away walk into town cause you woke up late………….. you don’t get to be on TV!

The atmosphere was simply electric! And in the space of that few hours this morning, I truly appreciated the essence of what being a Bruneian was about… sweet!

Brunei Darussalam Silla Korean Restaurant Posted on 24/11/201107/02/2023 Although an acquired taste with its bold and spicy flavours, Korean cuisine is slowly garnering a following in Brunei.

Last year I was one of the participant, I enjoyed it, feeling that pride marching passed before His Majesty and being under the sun wearing a full track suit. This year it was different, I got to be behind the lens and watched the whole event behind the scenes.
