Farewell parties

Our good Japanese friends, the Miyazaki family, is leaving Brunei for good in early May. We were invited to join their farewell parties this week. One on Friday and one today. Reina (their younger daughter) had her party at Jungle Gym (only indoor playground in Brunei). The place is designed for kids bit older than Oliver, so Oliver didn't really get a chance to explore the whole complex but he was still brave enough to go into the ball pool. He was in such a good mood for the whole 2 hours we were there.



I found it very funny the reception lady asked me when we walked in what sort of food Oliver would like to have when it's time to sit down. The choices were: fried chicken or hotdogs or pizza, yeah... they are just so polite sometimes.

And today we were invited to Yui (their older daughter's) birthday & farewell party. It was held at the Riverview hotel swimming pool(we never knew they had a swimming pool there).



Unfortunately the rain started halfway through the party but all the kids were already in their swimmers and looked more excited with the extra water falling from the sky. Oliver still has a funny runny nose so I kept him away from the water. But he seemed to enjoy watching all the other kids and making eye contact with other mothers. I also had a wonderful time catching up with my friends.
