The big B in Brunei


Hello!
Im back in business of typing and writing.. cuz im hell bored.. Im at the apartment at the moment. Just finished washing my own clothes -_-' I mean.. when was the last time I did that? Like...Never you knowww. But a learning experience which eventually I will have to do when I start going abroad and living on my own. OR! I could just send it to the laundry shop :P
So.. Im in Brunei and it weirdly feels like I haven't changed country. You knoww.. like when you go to Singapore.. You can feel the change but here? no. it feels just like home except of course at night.. Where it feels like im in the 19th century when there were curfews and all that.
After 9 o'clock? everyone round town starts to go missing.. like theres no human souls in the city and there are so few cars running around on the road still. It feels like 2 in the morning after 9pm. Its weird :S and then comes the timing..At about 6:30 ish. It's dark.. like seriously dark you knoww! like the moon is all up.. Like its pass 8pm back home. Which is disturbing my bioclock abit. And it feels eekyyly weird. hmm and I gotta do this for 10 days -_-

I for one person love flights.. I love the way the plane is set up. I love the way how the mechanical sound comes in when its about to take-off and land. I love it when they extend the width of the wings to make it more aerodynamic. I love in flight food, in flight entertainment. Weirdly up the extent that I even love the in-flight toilet. I mean.. How much more weird can that be right?
Up in the sky.. I love looking down. I love looking into the clouds and the sky. I love looking up outside the atmosphere and wonder what it's like to be out there. It's a bizzare thing but it's me.
The best part of the flight of course is travelling with MAS. Air Asia is just all about flying from point A to B. but MAS is about flying during point A to B. All in, comes the entertainment, the comfort, the food and the plane itself.
I was served Nasi Lemak with Chicken and Prawns with Orange Juice and I requested for milk. Because somehow having milk.. in the sky is soo much nicer. Its weird but you should try it.
Of course there wern't any form of entertainment because I flew in a 737. It's the smallest commercial aircraft there is and it's just about short flights. Unlike long distance flying for like Australia or China, you'l go in a 777 or Airbus A330. Or for even longer non-transit flights. You'l go with the 747 which is the mecca of in-flight entertainment. I mean.. Every seat gets a TV Screen which you can play games. watch movies. all that.. and if you travel First Class or Business Class. You can even get the seat to turn into a bed. Thats! how good it is..
All in all.. I love being in flights.. I have decided im going to have to buy a private jet for myself eventually just to travel everywhere :) and of course.. eventually im going to have to get license to fly for the higher level of enjoyment. lols


When I arrived in MIRI, SARAWAK.. It was all good. Flying alone is like the most fun best thing you can do ever.. Honestly! I mean you're free to do anything you want without getting questioned by parents and then comes the.... experience of custom checks when you're below 18. ahaha.. Its fun and funny. XD
So eventually I got picked up and taken into Brunei. Travel from Miri to the border of Brunei is only about 20 minutes from the airport. but from the border to Bandar Sri Begawan which is the capital.. its about 2 and half hours. its only 130km from the border but dual carriage way at the speed of about 60-100km/h not very fast. -_-
but the best bit is that.. On the way, the amazement came in. Eventhough its like kampung houses but every house would have at least 3 cars and we're not talking cheap arse cars here. Cars like Lexus IS250. Toyota Alphard. one house even had an underground parking. A big arse house in the kampung area in front of the road. I was only able to saw Mercedes S class. A Porsche 911 and a Lexus LX570 offroad car. But like.. what the heck! I'll talk more about cars in another post but. the amazement of it is there. When I arrived.. even more amazement.. There are cars not available in KL but is here.. Like Ford Focus ST and Dodge Charger. All that stuff. oh well.. But it was a good travel. and will be going off in an hours time to play golf :)

BOIENG 747-400
My favourite commercial aifcraft until MAS gets the Airbus A380. It can travel 12000KM. Will do a speed of 900+km/h and the comfort and entertainment. Goodness. I love it. and i wanna go first class in in again. Its been 8 years since my last flight in a 747. :( miss it soo much.
