Aku dan Brunei Part 2

written months before. late post>>

Salam hujan dan banjir.

Hujung tahun ni banyak tempat yang kena banjir. Harap-harap rumah kami tak kena banjir..

Bila memikirkan banjir, hanya 1 perkara bermain di dalam fikiran aku. "JANGAN BELI BANYAK PERABOT". huhu..
______________________________________________________________________________
Aku tak de idea untuk post kali ni.. Elok juga kalau aku cakap tentang kos hidup di sana.

Perkara pertama yang aku risaukan semasa menjejakkan kaki ke Brunei, ialah DUIT. Kalau anda dah pernah ke Singapura, jadi Brunei sama saja. Hakikatnya, duit Singapura diterima di Brunei untuk berjual beli. Malah kerap kali kedai memulangkan baki wang kami dalam bentuk Dollar Singapura...

Makan di Brunei, dalam matawangnya sendiri memang sangat murah. Dengan $6 anda boleh makan mewah di restoran buffet. Restoran buffet yang sering kami kunjungi terletak di Kiulap. (Dah mula ingat-ingat lupa. Kiarong ke? Kianggeh ke? Kiulap???) Di sana ada deretan restoran buffet yang kebanyakannya menawarkan harga yang sama. Steamboat kira-kira $10 sekepala. Makan McD Meal untuk 2 orang kadang-kadang mencecah RM50. Di Brunei kira-kira $15-20. JANGAN makan Pizza Hut / KFC di sana. Sila ke Limbang atau Miri dan makan sampai pecah perut. Sebab, kalau 1 set ayam berharga RM10 di Malaysia, di Brunei harganya $10. Dulu tak faham kenapa KFC di Brunei selalu lengang.. Rupanya, mereka ke Miri atau Limbang dan makan sampai kembung perut.. Zzzz....

Kalau bahan mentah pula, kisah masih sama. Murah. Kami membeli stok makanan $20 untuk seminggu, boleh dapat ayam/daging, ikan, sayur beberapa jenis, dan bahan masakan lain seperti bawang, daun kucai, cili, limau, banyak lagi lahhh.. Dengan $50 kami boleh masak untuk anggaran 200 orang... Gila! Bayangkan dengan $50 boleh masak Laksa Penang, Laksa Sarawak, dan Lontong.. Sayur daun boleh dibeli pada harga 50sen seikat. Buah Sikoi iaitu buah Tembikai kalau beli 1/4 (suku) harga 2.50 org Brunei kata "Mahal jua!!!". Beli kuih kering tu seplastik kecik tu 50sen je! Macam nak ssssaaawan tgk harga murah diorang boleh kata mahal. Aduiyai.. kalau 50sen tu mahal, berapa yang murahnya? Free? T..T

Kalau beli kereta memang murah. Dah cerita kot dalam entri sebelum ni. Kalau beli rumah, yang ni belum. Tapi tak boleh la nak cerita banyak. Di Brunei ada banyak kawasan Tanah Kurnia dari Sultan. Mereka diberi tanah, dan dikehendaki menyiapkan rumah dalam 2 tahun kalau tak silap. Kalau rumah tak naik, tanah boleh kena tarik balik.. Ada satu kawasan baru dalam pembinaan sekarang. Anggaran 10,000 rakyat akan duduk disitu. Kalau lebuhraya sedia ada tak ditambah naik, alamat kesesakan laaaa! Jadi, rasanya rakyat Brunei tak da masalah nak beli rumah. Tapi foreigner akan menghadapi masalah.. sebab rumah terhad, dan harga mahal...

holiday nov2011 01

We had an 'explorace' holiday last November 2011. Our flight to Kuala Terengganu (KL transit) was on 25 Nov. Arrived at night, an we went straight to YT Midtown Hotel. A strategically located hotel and I consider it as budget hotel. Paying RM120 for a RM150 sized room! Its definitely not a boutique hotel or spa resort. But cozy enough to rest and sleep. No weird smell or sound. The small pic of my son was on the plane. The Floating Mosque (i think its called Masjid Tunku Zaharah or something like that..), located at Tanjung Ibai. Its rainy day so we decided to just sightseeing from the car (rented car with very good deal!) Then we went to see Masjid Putih, as the local called it. Passing by the White Mosque (Masjid Putih), the driver took us to the Fishery Department Port. A visit only a few lucky people like us could get! The driver is like the president of fishermen's union or something.. So we get to see the real boat and ships used to fish! Its not like we never...
