(Peace be upon you and good morning to everybody in the UK :D)
So the next event after the special QC session is the majlis junjung ziarah that took place on the 28th December 2014. To readers who don't know what this is, it's basically an event where the Sultan of Brunei (our king) visits the Bruneian citizens who are currently in the UK. Of course a huge majority of the people coming to the event will be students studying in the UK. If you're one of those lucky enough to get a selfie with the Sultan, good for you! T.T
So the BruneianYork girls decided to stick together throughout the whole event. Citizens were asked to come as early as...9 o'clock? or was earlier? can't remember the exact details but basically the Sultan arrived at around 2 o'clock. We were given lunch of course, and Syukur Alhamdulillah, they're delicious (especially the dessert).
Although we waited a long time, we spent our time catching up with Bruneian friends studying in different universities (Brunei is so small, everyone is related to everyone else, not necessarily by blood but social circles as well).
Picture time!
Look at the number of people taking pictures as the royal family walks down the red carpet (not seen in this picture, too short T.T)
Look at the number of people surrounding the Sultan! Lucky people who get to stand beside the Sultan! XD
Lucky girl who got a chance to take a selfie with the Sultan!
After tip-toeing for a long time carrying "heavy" equipment, the girls decided to get away from the crowd and chillax. :)
Even though many photos were taken, most of them appeared blurry due to shaky hands (zoom lenses are heavy and imagine having to hold it high up in the air throughout while tip-toeing T.T). So in the end, we're left with these photos to post only. LOL
Anyway, our elections is taking place tomorrow at Hest East, Study Pod 1. The election starts at 2.30pm and may last a maximum of 1hr 30 mins. But please show up and listen to the speech given by the niminees and of course, don't forget to vote! Hope to see you dear members soon! ^3^
On that note, this post may be my last post. After the elections, if a there is a new post, without my trademark "XOXO", that means someone has taken over the blog. Anyways, it has been fun all this time, :) writing here about all of our BruYork adventures, although sadly the spring term was really hectic for the committee members up to the point that the blog was left as a ghost blog :( I apologise for that but hope you'll look forward to our new writer!
XOXO
