So yesterday, my family drove down to Brunei and be warned; because we went to Empire hotel, there will be alot of pictures in this post haha. We were actually worried we wouldn't get allowed entry to Brunei since our car was rented and all but all was well cause it was just a day trip. The drive there was pretty tiring though, since it's about 2hours to the capital city?

The really steep and long bridge that cost RM10 for toll -___-

Brunei immigration point.

Jeng jeng jeng. And here are the Empire hotel pics. It was just too amazing so i got carried away with my camera. Didn't get a chance to look around outside though cause dad was afraid there wouldn't be enough time in the city. I wanna go there again lah *hint hint* :P

This was one of the Benz on display. I'm not a Mercedes fan but i suppose the car looked nice enough lol.

Okay, did you know their lobby is like 12storeys high? Damn, right?

According to the description, this stone is the largest in the world, and they like have it. Gosh, filthy rich people.

And walah, the only photo of me throughout the whole trip hehe.

The corridor leading towards the washroom was winding and filled with mirrors.

They had this place in the middle which was their sorta archive thingy, where they put pictures of famous and important people who have visited the hotel. You'd be surprised who was there.

I bet this is some expensive figurine cause it was encased and had a 'do not touch' sign. Its real gold dammit.

From one escalator

to the next.

Fyi, nearly everything in the hotel is made out of marble; white marble, black marble, whatever marble. And there's definitely alot of gold around too.
They even have their own cinema dammit. Gosh, i wanna stay thereee!

We kinda got lost once we reached the capital city. We passed by The Mall but had no idea how to get there. Ended up making so many turns here and there till my dad started to lose patience. Mom had to get down and ask directions from someone and eventually, we did manage to find the place.

The Mall. Their cinema looks pretty awesome and i saw this gorgeous bag by Paris Hilton. But so expensive eh, about B$300+ Oh and i saw three people i knew too; Armani, Bianca, and Aaron. Haha Brunei is a small place after all.

We left pretty early cause it was a long drive back and we had to pass through immigration again which was such a hassle. And since it was my family's last night out and we didn't know where to eat, we went back to Siamese Secrets again. Hahaha my dad just loves that place.

The long line of cars going through immigration.

I felt abit full from lunch so i just had a fresh tomato soup

and a mango juice.
Oh and we ordered tortilla chips which was just so delish! My mouth's watering just by thinking of it now heheh.

Now i am all alone, my family went back today. Classes start tomorrow, and my first class is at 8am; Accounting lecture. Tomorrow marks the beginning of a new semester, and hopefully a new beginning as well. I met my China housemate already and she's pretty cool i guess. I've been sleeping really early too and might even sleep early tonight. Gosh, Miri really does drain my energy till i feel so tired all the time.

Till the next post,
hugs and kisses.
