Now, you don't really care do you?
I was one of the first few to arrive at the Handicrafts Jetty overlooking the morning Brunei River. Mr. Toomer was there, looking cheerful and bubbly as usual, and so was Ms. Hancox, who came along a little while after carrying 2 cups of what looked like coffee. Or was Mr. Toomer the one buying it? I can't remember.
I didn't have to wait long for the Ships to set sail. Shortly, by 0700 hours, everyone was ready and set for setting sails. We were about to board, when suddenly -
"I forgot to bring my IC!" said someone. Must have been Azim. I really didn't pay attention, i was quite caught up with my camera, taking shots of our lovely river. For some reason, they were no longer there when i looked for them.
So, there we waited for a someone who hurriedly rushed over his IC so we could set sail to Brunei Bay.
And set sail we did.
A picture of the H.M.S Royale Temburong. (okay, thats not the name, but you get the "picture".)
This is a picture of the CREW aboard the H.M.S number 1.
NOW THIS GETS INTERESTING. PAY ATTENTION TO THESE TWO LADIES, MS. TRACY AND ANN LEE.
ahh, bumbly and talkative.
hmmm.. fuel tank is about below half already... tired.. need sleep...
...and in approximately 3.2 minutes.
....optimized recharging mode.
Hey! Ann Lau joins the club.
So, we take a nice view at the scenery and the lovely riverside trees we have here in Brunei. And of course lovely Brunei River.
It was fun.
Looking at the lovely trees, taking pictures, thinking about life and taking pictures, imagining the weekend events and taking pictures, and .. haha.
I must say my time was well spent.
Anyways, lets go back to our dear crewmen. Or crewladies.
Mmmm.. Right where we left you.
Ahh, and I initially thought she really was going to sleep in that perfect posture the whole trip. She's finally gotten comfortable i guess!
Oh dear, this one has some trouble sleeping. Must be the waters.
The voyage was predictably uneventfull, as most of us fell into a painfully distorted slumber (as seen above). I was fortunate enough to have grabbed sufficient winks so i stayed awake long enough to have several pictures taken of the trip.
LAND AHOY!
"Selamat Datang ke Temburong~!"
As the Sign said! The time was approximately 0815. For many of them-the-more intelligent
beings out there, 0815 is still considered a bit after midnight and is usually considered immoral to be awake at such an ungodly hour on a Friday. I must quickly acustom to this however, since i come from St. Andrew's and have just entered ISB.
Contrary to the popular belief, this picture was not taken upon arrival, but actually taken
before leaving Temburong.
As soon as we docked and we climbed onto dry land once again, we and the crewmen left the
ships and travelled towards the coaches.
Buses.
The trip there was uneventful as well. Apart from sitting at the butt of the bus talking to Sita, AnnLee and Lau about very strange topics such as those titled "SO how do you find IB?" or "What d'you think of Brunei?" and the ever so popular "How are you finding ISB?". It was only a while before we reached the Legendary outposts of the Outward Bound Organization in Brunei Darussalam.
....to be continued.
