Belconnen Trash & Treasure Market

Last Sunday we dropped by the market in Belconnen.

It's like a big garage sale that has been going on every Sunday for the last 35 years. Items you can find there range from fresh foods to used furniture.

Location:
Parking Lot, Jamison Centre

Hours:
Sundays 6am-1pm

The market is run by the Rotary Belconnen. Entry for the public is by donation. Sellers pay $15 to set up a stall there. The good thing about this market is that it only allows sellers to sell fruits or vegetables that are home-grown. For antique collectors this is also a great scouting opportunity. 'Cos lets face it, one person's trash/junk is another person's treasure. Cheers.

Bridging The Gaps

The High Commission of Brunei Darussalam invited the Indonesia High Com for a friendly match of badminton last Friday. This activity was initiated by our new High Commissioner, Adnan Jaafar to foster the relationship between Brunei and other Foreign Embassy stationed here in Canberra.

The game was held at the Brunei Embassy

Our strategy: Get our opponents to eat a lot before playing the game. LoL.

This was the first match. The ladies doubles.

I didn't manage to take a lot of pics because I was the umpire for most of the games. So hopefully Zamri will share some of the pics he took of us. Overall it was a lot of fun. I even went against a familiar face during my turn at the game. My doubles partner during the ASEAN badminton tourney last year!

I am really looking forward to the next game. Who knows, maybe it'll be table tennis or indoor football!! Well, whatever it is, its a welcomed activity for us here. :)

...of Past & New Beginnings...

A very quiet start to 2009 for us in Canberra. We were at home for the New Year. Sound asleep before 12 midnight. LoL. But my family is excited for 2009 because we have a lot on our list of things to do.

Namely:

• Alisha's first words.
• Alisha's first walk.
• More visits to the places of interest in Canberra with Alisha.
• Going home to Brunei for the holidays in December!

The main highlight of 2008. The birth the Brunei Berra babies, Alisha & Balqis.

To our readers we wish you all a prosperous 2009.
