Happy New Year 2009 to everyone out there.
The academic year 2009 in Brunei has just started, which also meant it was the end of the school holidays. Hope you guys have a memorable holidays and vacations. It was a good time to unwind after a successful 2008.
Apart from the occassional shopping trips and some exciting days out at the cinema, the family decided to stay home and enjoyed the company of each other. There were so many things we did without leaving the house and it was a cetainly a fun and memorable holiday for all.
Some of the games we played during the holidays.
Congkak is a version of an Egyption game called "MANCALA", which was believed to have been introduced by the Egyption traders to the many parts of Africa, West Asia, India and Sri Lanka. Mancala was also brought to the shores of the America by the West African slaves during early colonization periods. It reached the East Asia some few hundreds years ago by the Arabian or Indian Traders plying the spice route.
Sudoku, the game which makes you play on and on. You must enjoy working with numbers in order to enjoy this game.
We bought and played waterguns around the house. Picure above are The Super Splash and The Double Splash. We also have Purple Dream, Zorro, Red Berry and Blue Berry waterguns (not in pic).
