Ok folks, here come the "Part II" of my school trip.

Remember the "Survival Pack" in the previous post? I'm going to show you more about it.

Got sun cream, insect repellent, sewing and fishing kit.

I laughed seeing the sewing kit, imagining soldiers sewing their camouflage trousers. But then the soldier explained that it is not only used for sewing, but also for any serious injuries..

And, I started to imagine the cuts, flesh and bloods...

Then, suddenly think of pork liver, and "Kueh-Chap".

Hopeless lah me, like that also can think of food.

The army told me that the candle can be eaten back in the older days. We're like, "Huh? What? Edible kan?", and he reminded us something that we'd long forgotten after graduating, "Yes, it was made of FATS, last time."

I think that's almost everything that happen in RBAF.

Oh ya, another interesting story to share.

On the bus while on the way to our nest destination, I asked:

Me: So boys and girls, any one of you interested to be an army and work here?
Everyone: NoOOOooOOOooOo!
Me: But why? Girls, tell me first.
The girls: Panas cher.
Me: .... (speechless for 3 seconds) And boys, what's your reason?
The boys: Hitam cher...

Long-pia ah! (Bang head against wall) This kind of reason also can think of.

Kids nowadays... really don't know what to say liao.

Next destination-

I don't know who is the smarty came up with the idea of having lunch there? It's really hot, and there's not enough stone benches and shades too!

Torture...

This is how we had our lunch

I'd never been there and of course, never get the chance to explore around the highlands too.

But I did saw this really two 'unique' signs though.

S-L-O-W

Mm.. Yea, Brunei is an Islamic country, of course majority of our population are Malays. So I guess this sign is specially made for them.

Caring huh our government?

But not for dog owners who want to walk their pet lor.

Next -

For prayers

Brunei has the nicest mosques don't you think? I stayed on the bus and took a nap while everyone (except for those who're having periods) went sembahyang.


Hehe, saw this while on the way to JPMC, must take picture and show you all!

Steady or not? Like that also can sleep. But, dangerous lah.
By the way, can the police saman like that?
And, saman who? The driver or the sleeping man?

Next-

JPMC

It's not very interesting, but most relaxing for me as there's nothing much for teachers to do. There were Olivia, Jien and Emilia to guide the kids and bring them around making sure they're not disturbing and behaving well.

Us teachers just follow them and be the translator from time to time. And of course, once in awhile still got to ensure that they're all in one piece. =p

JPMC-ians and the kids

We first dropped by the gymnasium. Erm, the kids had problem saying the full name of gym actually. They go like.. "Gim... Gim-nah-siun??"

I really really miss the gym lah! Eventhough it's more expensive compare with those in the BSB town one. But hey, the equipments are well maintained, the swimming pool is clean and I love love love the jacuzzi and steam bath!

Awww... (Hug pillow and goyang)

Next, the maternity ward.

One of the reason why I like JPMC is because of the scenery. If you can't afford to stay a night in Empire, perhaps you can consider JPMC, since it's the same beach anyway.

Plus, in JPMC you're going to get someone to take care of you 24/7, healthy meals available. Good idea? Yes? No?

Wo-kay, the delivery suite kind of scared me.

Seriously, I think I have phobia after listening too much real-life giving birth experiences from my friends, especially when they describe the process. So terrifying can die!

And we went to the OBGYN clinic (I have no idea what that stands for, it's a clinic for pregnant women), then to paediatrics clinic, out-patient clinic, pharmacy, radiology and dental clinic.


When we went to the pharmacy, the pharmacist was telling the students the "do" and "don't" for medicines.

Funny lar, because I know the kids only catch 5% of the things she said.. I mean her English.
(Not to step my own students, but you got to admit that students from government schools have poorer English)

Pharmacist: What is the name for people working in pharmacy?
Students: .... (Quiet don't know how to answer)
Pharmacist: Okay, what do you call people working in a post office?
Students: Postman.
Pharmacist: Good. And now, what do you call people working in a fire station?
Students: Firemen!
Pharmacist: Very good~ So, what do you call people working in a pharmacy?
Students: Far-mah.......... (Volume decreased and gradually become mute)
Pharmacist: Pharmacist. We call people working in a pharmacy, pharmacist!

Thank God the kids didn't answer "Pharma-man"!

Dr. Raul, the dentist shared us an interesting information.

He said we're not suppose to squeeze our toothpaste like those Darlie or Colgate advertisement, i.e. on top/ above of the bristles.

We're suppose to squeeze the paste 'down' and 'in' the bristles of the toothbrush. So that next time when we brush our teeth, there will be sufficient paste to do all the cleaning action.

I don't know, he said one.

The souvenirs for the student

Mouse Pad

No more pictures, because I was too tired and slept in the bus on the way back liao. I guess, that's about it. My school trip. Nice?


p/s: I cut my hair...erm.. can say short, can say long. Wanna see? Next post please.

(Hehe. Must say like that so you all will come back for more mah~)
