Brunei Lifestyle 
I am thinking of sending my child to a daycare since we are also amahless and dont intend to take one. Can you help?
Hello. Please check your email? I sent you email.
Hi,
Good evening.
Still couldn’t figure out how I should address you as I could not find your name in your site … Eva? ( base on evawanday@yahoo.com )
I am writing from Singapore and thought maybe you can help me understand more of Brunei trade. Yes, we know Brunei is an oil rich kingdom , unfortunately oil isn’t our topic to be discussed.
Basically, we would like to participate in a trade show in Brunei but it seems we are having difficulties in locating them… i mean the trade organsier.
We are interested in bringing some electronic gadgets into Brunei and to do it , trade show will be more appropriate.
In addition , we hope to bring in LED lightings into Brunei and these lightings can be incorporated with ornaments to make it even more attractive.
We plan to make an early presentation prior to Hari Raya Season as production takes time due to the raw materials.
Right after Hari Raya will be the Christmas and New Year lighting preparation .
I will be able to show you the packaging of our lightings in our next email just to give you an idea .
Or, we could find someone whom we can co-operate in Brunei , say , a business owner/ factories etc… where they do have a network in Brunei retailing outlets.
Hope to hear from you… thanks.
Best Regards

I also received the “petai” email from a friend recently. Stumbled upon your web blog while “researching” about this wonder el-stinko! Petai, o petai – like durians, you either hate it of love it. I only came to do the latter a few years ago. Enjoy the smaller variety (called petai padi in Malaysia): eating sambal is never the same again! Of course, things (the emails)like this are hard to verify especially when they sound all-too-good. Anyway, it’s still a natural fruit (don’t think there are any petai plantations around)if taken in moderation would surely yield many benefits. Seen an actual petai tree? Those who have will appreciate how they are harvested – it’s not like we can just stretch out our arms to pick a bunchful!
Hehe William. Thanks. Pssst! Don’t tell anyone, I have never eaten a single Petai! The smell just put me off, sorry Petai but I do appreciate nature. Thanks to The Creator. Btw, you are right, I have never seen a petai tree. I guess it’s about the same tree as those curly beans with red seeds, known locally as ‘saga’? Also, I saw a canned petai in the grocery shop the other day. I read the ingredients: 99% petai and 1% salt. I have already imagined how it smell upon opening the lid. Cheers!
Hi Patrick. Eva will do thank you. Your idea sound very illuminating to me but on a serious note, pls do drop me an email. Maybe I can help but no promise there. E-mail welcome.
Hi Ramble On and William
Re: Petai tree…ok I have seen these petai trees, depending on the petai season where you can get as many bunches in one tree. Each bunch carry several strips of Petai pods (its similar to the peas pod, only abour 50 times bigger and longer) on it’s huge tree. The leaves of a petai tree is similar to that of a Tamarind tree. I will snap a picture of a petai tree when its in season, apparently there is no particular month for ‘harvesting’.
By the way, I enjoy reading all things Bruneian on your web! I am a non-bruneian but am working here for just over 3 years. Love every bit of Brunei. Its a gorgeous place, beautiful culture and heritage, peaceful and clean, except for Kampong Air, it must desire not to be in the opposite category though considering it’s been referred to as the Venice of SE Asia. Nevertheless, I am glad I decided to come to Brunei.
Wow Izamarina…I can already imagine a petai tree. Thanks for visiting my blog and living here in Brunei and loving it. Except for that Kampong Ayer… The relevant authority has produced a master-plan to improve Kampong Ayer, in fact the whole of Bandar…Just hope the whole re-development would be completed before you end your tenure here in blessed Brunei. All the best!

Hallo Eva,
i stumbled upon your blog while looking for some information about daycare in Brunei. nice blog, by the way :).
i’m writing from Indonesia and thinking of moving to Brunei, following my husband who recently received a job offering from there. however, i’m thinking of working there too and we’ll need someone to take care of our sons (toddler and baby) during working hours. i read your post about ‘amah vs daycare’, and realized it was in 2007 :)… i wonder if you have any updated info about daycare in Brunei, its common facilities, fees, etc. and i’d be very grateful if you could share them to me.
regards,
fitri
Hi Fitri…was it that long? By the way, that post is much ‘alive’ I can say. Please go back to the post and scroll down to the comments. There is a day care centre replying in the comment box. Good luck and welcome to the Abode of Peace.Keep visiting, not Brunei but my blog…aha… 😀

Tuan Pengiran,
Saya dari nanam, Sabah, ingin bertanya, apakah kebanggaan ketuanan keturunan Pengiran atau Raja?
Adakah keturunan pengiran di beri elaun keturunan raja?
Berapakah jumlah elaun yang diberi?
Kalau ia, keturunan yang di Sabah adakah berhak?
Jawaban tuan kami tunggu.
Sekian. Terimakasih.
Maaf kelewatan membalas. Setahu saya (dan saya sebenarnya seorang perempuan, tapi tidak apa)… keturunan pengiran yang biasa dan banyak di Brunei tidak menerima apa-apa elaun.
Mengenai kebangaan, itu adalah hak individual. Ada yang bangga, ada yang biasa-biasa saja 🙂

Hi Eva!
I wonder if you can help me – I have been looking everywhere for some Bruneian recipes, but unfortunately there is not a whole lot to be found regarding the accompaniments for Ambuyat – I could use a recipe for Ikan Rebus, Sayur Bayam and Cacah Tempoyak (all Brunei-style, of course).
Do you know any good recipes for these?? If not, where could I find some?
If you can help me I would love to thank you in my own blog, hehehe 🙂
Thanks for any help!

Hi Eva! I like your website! fun to read!
Assalam alaykom Eva,
Once you posted a beautiful story about prophet muhammad and his wives.
When he gave each one of them secretly a ring. And when they asked him which one of us do you love most, he answered: the one i gave a ring.
Do you remember?
I wonder if you could tell me where you read this story, and where i can find it.
Thanks.

Hello- I like your site. I am an American writer who is researching vegetarianism in Asia. I’m wondering if you could put me in touch with any vegetarians in Brunei. Any help appreciated. Thanks!
Assalamu’alaikum… I really need a help. Would you like to let me know where I can find a zakat center at Brunei? Is there any requirements to get the zakat? Thank you so much. I really need your kind and urgent reply…please…
Waalaikumsalam. Sorry for the late reply. I think in Brunei it would be the Baitul Mal, under the Ministry of Religious Affairs. Please contact the Ministry direct, I would advise. Best wishes and may Allah protect and guide us all, ameen.

This actually resolved my problem, thanks!
I’d have to consult you here. Which is not really something I usually do! I enjoy studying a post that will make people believe. Also, appreciate it just for allowing me to provide feedback!
Would you be concerned with exchanging links?
Nope, not at all. Well, depending on the sites it link to.
Amazing blog! Is your theme custom made or did you download it from somewhere? A design like yours with a few simple adjustements would really make my blog jump out. Please let me know where you got your design. Appreciate it

Hi there. I’m sorry you are unable to order. As far as I know, Bunny is not in Brunei and that is the reason why.
