Updating....

Salam...Hi...tnx for paying me some visits and I really appreciate and thankful for the well wishes *hugs*
This is my right eye with the haemorrhage. According to the eye specialist, there is no specific medicines for it but what I shall do is to relax and to work in less stressful situations. This means that I have to manage my stress wisely. The blood vessels will heal by themselves over time. I am so thankful to Allah that my vision is not affected at all but I cannot wear contact lenses for couples of months from now on. It is not painful but I can't stand bright lights which makes me dizzy instantly. Oh ya... I nearly forget to mention what have caused the haemorrhage, the eye specialist said that this is due to the high fever, severe coughing and sneezing. The blood vessels in my right eye have ruptured.

Yesterday (Sunday) happened to be the last day of the school holiday and we spent the last bit of it at Miri, Sarawak. The actual purpose of crossing the border was to buy a new pair of specs for me!

It is very much cheaper there than in Brunei despite the good currency exchange rate. I also prefer to purchase my contact lenses here too.

Adapting to the new situation....me in specs... (-_-)
We only managed to spend our time here.....the sale was on too...but we did not do much shopping as we were afraid of being caught in the tremendously long jam at the checking points if we passed 5 p.m. Amazingly, by 2 p.m. we were back in Brunei already!

Earlier that day...we had our early breakfast at KFC....
Wink!

In the car....on the way back...the knackered Habibi.... (*,*)

Habibati said she was 'selling' cookies in the car....the play dough she had forced Ayah to buy!
Cookies for sale...!

To The Border

My hubby, Habibati and I went to Miri last Friday. Habibi couldnot join us because he just recovered from fever. We left him with my maid at my parents' home. There would be a health check at both Brunei and Sarawak posts. Since the world is alarmed by the swine flu, so we decided not to bring Habibi. Now, I would love to share our journey which took about 2 hours to reach the destination by car.We first had to pay BND$3 at the Rasau Toll (still in Brunei area).
Thank God...the traffic was not too bad for checking. We were now by the Sarawak's border....again another checking point. Habibati said these were "horses" heeeee.....of course it was because of the snout!Again aother toll at the border of Sarawak. We had to pay RM10 only. Below shows the high bridge of Sarawak.
Happy Habibati....

The first shopping spot...Bintang Plaza. However...we had to buy the parking coupon first..RM5 for the whole day....but...the parking space was quite hard to find!

At ToysRus, Habibati bought a trumpet and she also chose a guitar for her brother. She even chose a 'tiara' and put it straightaway on her head! Our lunch at SugarBun, Habibati liked the rice very much.
This really attracted our attention!! HABIBI Cake Shop...Another shopping spot.....

.......suddenly something happened....blackout! Lucky, we had finished with our shopping.

What what did we get for the kids and ourselves? Nothing much but few pieces of KIKILALA and KIKO clothings, 2 pairs of flats and RASA magazines for me. As for my hubby, he got his T-shirt and pants as his father's day present...

Wokey...that's all....tomorrow we will be going to Temburong to attend my BIL's 'papat jambol' ceremony for their newborn. Again, we will have to pass across another Malaysian border namely Limbang. Another long journey again.....
