HUGE Opening

Sorry peeps for the delayed update. The laptop was with Syg for a few days so I was "computer free" for a while. But come to think of it, having espeed at home makes you addicted to Internet and of course blog hopping. So I just couldn't resist checking out the Internet at my mum's computer throughout the whole "computer free" period. Last night I was so bored that I asked Syg to return back the laptop *hehehe* Cheeky me, macam tah the laptop belongs to me.. Oh well, Syg doesn't mind...


Anywayz, the major happening during the week was the much awaited and anticipated opening of Giant Hypermart at Rimba last 22nd March. It was a really predictable situation, as usual, Bruneians would get the place packed up within a few minutes of opening. I received an email from a colleague on pics during the opening of Giant and cars were liked parked everywhere! Even until the edges of the highway bridge and roundabouts. Go figure! So, since I knew that the place will surely be packed with energetic Bruneians, me and Syg decided to just check out Giant the next day i.e. Sunday. So yea, Sunday's itinerary was as follows:-

8.00 a.m.- Went swimming with Syg and Syg's siblings at the National Swimming Complex (Weekly exercise)

10.30 a.m.- Went back to Syg's house and changed into my Baju Kurung to attend Syg's cousin's wedding at Kg Kasat

11.00 a.m.- Off to Kg Kasat. Didn't know that it was that far via road. Heheh

11.30 a.m.- Seated at the kem with Syg's sibs and fan ourselves out as the weather was really hot plus we were all tired from all that swimming.

12.00 p.m.- Still fanning ourselves, me and Aimi were already feeling the sweat.. Mike test comes along, so we got excited thinking that it was time for doa, but woops, not yet. Org berziarah pun alum ada... Oh well~ *continued complaining on how hot the weather was*

12.15 p.m.- After a few minutes passed and a few mike test along the way, the rombongan of org berziarah started greeting the guests.

12.30 p.m.- Finally, doa and of course makan coz we were so hungry after the morning exercise.

1.00 p.m.- Went back to Syg's house and rested there for a while as we were so tired.

3.00 p.m.- Syg sent me back home. But before heading home, we decided to pass by Giant, you know just give it a try.. Hehehe..

3.30 p.m.- Long traffic at the roundabout heading towards Giant! Syg had to turn back as he couldn't stand the long traffic plus cars were parked everywhere

4.00 p.m.- Arrived at home but then I convinced Syg to try out Giant coz probably the traffic would ease down. So I changed my clothes and off we went to Giant again. And this was what we saw:



Traffic heading to the roundabout at Rimba




After 15 minutes, we were already in the middle of the roundabout




Giant is just a few minutes away.. Heheh.. Told syg to bersabar saja coz there will be parking for us




Cars parked outside Giant




There was even traffic police assisting to ease the traffic. Talk about A really Giant! Opening




Took this pic while we were paying for our stuff.. Heheh


Anywayz, we didn't manage to park inside Giant's parking space coz we got a parking space just outside Giant i.e. along the roadside. Heheh.. We spent a good 3 hours in Giant! Hehehe.. Did some shopping of appliances as well as some groceries for home.

Oh well, a frenzy Giant experience indeed. It felt like I was in another country coz everywhere I turn, people were with trolleys. Imagine, trolleys were finished for a while so we had to wait for a few minutes before the trolleys were returned back to the trolley aisle.. Hahaha..


In another note, Arni treated us at Taurean last Saturday night. It was her birthday last 19th March and since Fizan was also in BRunei to visit her, she called for a gathering to celebrate their birthday. BTW, Fizan's birthday was last Sunday, 23rd March.




Pic taken after Dinner



I rushed them to take the pics coz while we were having dinner, they started to talk about P.S. I Love You, The Movie and I was like, "I have to watch the movie". So since the movie time was at 10.15 p.m., we were able to catch it on time.. Its a really nice and sweet movie. I'd recommend them to sappy romantics out there.. (me being one of them).. Hehehe...

M off to bed now.. Gonna have another boring but hectic day again at the office tomorrow.. How I wish it was the weekend already.. *sigh* 1 more day to go. M on leave on Friday.. Uncle's Wedding.. Gonna be a busy weekend..


Chiao!!
