Since we depart at around 4pm, it was already night time when we reach Bandar. Had our dinner at uncle's house, and then we went touring around Bandar and Jerudong.
Night view of Jame ASR Hassanil Bolkiah Mosque in Kampong Kiarong.
One of the most popular mosque in Brunei, the ASR Hassanil Bolkiah Mosque was built in commemoration of the 25th accession of the Brunei Sultan, and I heard that the royals also prayed there.
Driving around Jerudong, the old ones were especially disappointed because of the darkness surrounding Jerudong Park. It was once the most beautiful theme park in Borneo, and was said to beat even Disney Land, and now it is deserted. My parents said our family went there when I was small, but I had only a vague memory of it. All I know is that the entrance was free, and there were lots of people from our country and others alike.
We head back to Gadong, and stayed a short while in front of Lexus (Brunei) showroom. The Christmas decoration was really stunning, so we took some photos of it. Even a lot of the locals went there for photographs.

Took this photo around my uncle's neighbourhood. Hm... when can our countrymen live like this, with our gates open wide even though the owners were already fast asleep:
Before going back this morning, we dropped by the royal istana, Istana Nurul Iman, where the Sultan currently stays. Construction of new buildings were going on, as the guard said there are not enough space for the royals.
Of course, we did not miss to have Excapade Sushi before balik kampung.
Gonna stop here now. 16 more minutes when the clock strikes 12. Wish you guys a very Happy New Year!!
See you next year,
