new experiences at different places :)-part 2

The continuation of previous post. ok. where did we stopped?

(The next morning i woke up at nearly 9am. took shower, breakfast and went to the bride's house. then we were served with breakfast again..OMG where i want to put all the food ive eaten??my stomach cant afford them anymore. i chose to sit in the house coz it was very hot outside)......

as it was very hot : according to car reading, it's 3+ degree celcius outside. i was called by my aunt to take picture inside the house. as i was the only one who brought camera, i've to though i feel that i didnt want to do it. lol. but, nvm, it's cold inside the house with airconds. sit there for 30 minutes before the bride came in and sit at the 'pelamin' . then, more people came in. all of them are my family members. then the 'tepung tawar' ceremony started. it's very different from sarawak's malay wedding reception. in brunei, only the bride sitting on the 'pelamin' where as in sarawak, both of the bride and bridegroom have to sit on the 'pelamin'. as the 'tepung tawar' ceremony went on and i as the photographer, one of my uncle approached me and told me to join the ceremony. i was surprised and resisted to join. but at last i gave up and did what he asked me to do. it's my first time to join 'tepung tawar'. cool!! it's around 10am and i had to move outside the house as inside were getting pack with people. i sit with my uncles and cousins. talked with them, observed people and so on. it's very hot. the bridegroom only came at around 12pm. can u imagine how long we have to wait under the sun? there were 6 to 8 vespa or scooter escorting the bridegroom's car. unique!! after the bridegroom entered the house, we had our lunch. it's in buffet style. after lunch, i followed my cousin went back to miri while my uncles use another car and went straight to bintulu.

Yesterday-tuesday, once more i was left alone. but now, in a hotel room. woke up before 9 coz i slept early a nite before. went out at 9.30 to have my breakfast. after breakfast, i walked to imperial mall which is within a stone throw from the hotel. arrived there at 10am. i set the time that i must arrive there by 10 bcoz most shopping stores will be open at 10. however, in miri it's different. not all stores are open at 10. some of the stores are open around 11.30. i walked around the mall until i received a call from my uncle. 30 minutes later, he fetched me and brought me to marina bay before he fetched his children from school. we had our lunch at boulevard shopping mall. the in the evening we went to petroleum museum at canada hill before we had delicious cendol and abc. around 5, my dad came and we walked back to the hotel and then went to bintang megamall once again. we walked..walked..walked..coz we didnt have any transport plus it's not too far to walk. i got some 'souvenir' from miri as i seldom shop in sibu. sibu has very limited choice :) at night, i joined my dad and his friends for dinner. we went to muara restaurant and had nasi lelapan. very delicious and spicy. those who like spicy food and know how to eat belacan MUST try nasi lelapan. after finished eating, we went back to hotel and i packed all my things coz i'm going home the next day which is today.
