Open Palace / A Day of Queueing up

Yesterday...when to Brunei to see the sultan's palace because there got 'open palace'. But...i have a few words before i continue with the story:
Awful...Never go again...

Reach the palace about 9a.m. Before going in the palace, have to queue to go through the checking thing like airport one.

Then when i go the palace there got so many people. I think got around 30,000++ at one time. Then...have to queue up to take food. then, want to go out at the palace, have to go shake hand with the sultan's wife. Men will see sultan and all his prince, while women see his wife and the princesses.

But before that, have to queue up to go to the other place to see them, then...have to queue up 7 times before reaching the hall to shake hand with them and 2 more times after to get the souvenir and go out. Not only that but go everywhere, they will separate man and woman! go in already separate, then queue up 7 times one all also separate.

The first queue,i queue for almost 2 hours,then got so many people queueing up about 1,000 in the line. All push push until i become pancake then so hot again! haiz...

Second queue is sit down that one ok. Third queue is have to go through the checking thing again because going to shake hand. Then after that, go inside a room...have to queue up again but seating. By that time, already 12.30, sultan all rest time so have to wait till 2.00...wait ar wait...want sleep liaw... Then finally 2.00p.m come...get up...queue again...they all push again, then one lady keep poking my back, don't know what's her big problem, till i want to turn around and tell her off, but...don't dare...haiz...

Then go down some stairs, reach down, queue again...then finally reach the hall to shake hand with them. After that...go out...queue again...to take souvenir. Then queue again to go out...

So, yesterday was all about queue up and wait. And all together i queue up about 11 times, now think and write about queue also scared liaw... and the time take for queueing up was about 5- 5 1/2 hours.

Then some more, they give the souvenir is junk food( i don't like to eat junk food...go and give me this type of things==), but what to do, people give things, cannot complain already...

After palace, when to shopping mall, but i didn't buy anything because nothing to but and i don't like shopping...they go, i follow only...

After shopping, we went to a hotel called empire, they say something like RM600 a night...

Then, go back to miri time!! yay...seat on the bus...3 hours. Sit untill my backside so pain. then 8 baru reach. After eat dinner go home!! yay!! home sweet home!

p/s i went alone, i mean without family. i went with my mum's friend...
