Brunei Wiki

This is not about politic or whatsoever related to it. I'm one of wikipedia fans. There's language option on the right side of the website. That option allows reader to read wiki's contains in their own language (localization).

This is what I found long time ago. I wonder why "Bahasa Melayu" belongs/handles to/by Malaysian. What I mean is.. we here in Brunei use "Bahasa Melayu" too. There's only slight differences in both languages.. but we still use "Melayu" language.

It's better if they (anyone) put

Bahasa Malaysia - for Malaysia
Bahasa Brunei (Standard) - for Brunei
Bahasa Indonesia - for Indonesia

Bah.. Brunei Yakin.

Annual Orchard Road in Brunei (My Post with Pictures)

July 15, his majesty birthday. That day, I woke up early, wore smart and new dress. It's time to switch on the tv.. luckily the event had not started.

I went to gadong around 7pm, they provide a karaoke stage and anyone can sing "one song only".. $1 charge. Then I went to bandar, I caught myself in a traffic jam!! It took two and the half hour to get out of the car.


There's a lot of ppl.. walking here and there crossing the road.



Few roads had to be closed and mr policemen did their work greatly.. (sitting down?? no.. actually they're monitoring).



A lot of stall, they sell food, drinks, balloon, painting, dress, pirated vcds, and so on.





Down here was so called indon dangdut club.. they conquered the stage.



Finally.. went back home




I didn't manage to take few more photos. Actually there're group of teenagers showed their brake dance skill, and there're activity held on the field. I went to Tutong celebration on 17th too. I shake hand with his majesty in the morning and went to see the celebration at night.
