Jerudong Park Version 2014: The New Waterpark Again












REBECCA OI

BANDAR SERI BEGAWAN, Wednesday, December 17, 2014 - HEARTY cheers filled the Jerudong Park and Country Club yesterday as the countdown signalled the grand and official opening of the country’s biggest water park.

Hundreds of visitors comprising the young and old had the first glimpse of 10 exciting water games as they entered the water park.

Armed with boundless enthusiasm and excitement, the children entered the waters and took to the aqua slides, waterfall jets and guns, water mill and waterslides which were part of the many exciting features of the park.

Adults also had a great time as they stood below the interactive tipping bucket and daisy showers while the water splashed on their faces.

Speaking to The Brunei Times, Kristin Natalia, a mother of three children from age six to 13, said that her family enjoyed themselves and will be returning in the future.

Meanwhile, Haris Fadhilah, who came with five of his nephews and nieces, said that this park was an ideal place for children to spend their time while the adults can enjoy other features of the park.

A Singaporean visitor to the park, Andrew Chow, who is also an entrepreneur, speaker and author said that the park was an eye-opener for him as he never expected to see this in Brunei.

“This place is excellent for company team-building and $10 is great investment for families to reconnect and bond,” he added.

With facilities that include a nursing room, surau (prayer hall), male and female showers with changing rooms and lockers, the water park can accommodate up to 400 visitors at one time.

However, all visitors are required to observe all rules and regulation at all times when enjoying the facilities. This includes observing decent and appropriate attire at the park. Additionally, visitors can also purchase various items including souvenirs, towels, and sunscreen lotions at the shop located just within the park’s vicinity.

Charcoal Burger which also opened yesterday is currently the authorised café and restaurant serving light snacks and refreshment to visitors at the water park. However, other cafes and restaurants can also be found at the dry park. The Jerudong Park and Country Club is also featuring its ongoing “December Holiday Specials” promotion throughout the month.

The promotion offers entry tickets of $10 for adults, $5 for children and $5 for senior citizen above 60 years old. Meanwhile, children below the age of 2 years old enter for free. Throughout the month of December, the Jerudong Park Playground is closed on Monday but is open from 4pm to 6pm and 8pm to 10:30pm on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. On Saturdays and Sundays, the park open is from 10am to 12noon, 1pm to 3pm, 4pm to 6pm and from 8pm to 10:30pm. Members of the public will also be able to purchase tickets online via the official website a week after the opening of the water park.

On my recent blog on Brunei's Time Line , one commentator got carried away and she started to talk about events in the past before moving on to nicknames. I enjoyed what she wrote and I offered for her to write a whole blog about it and I will put it up. But up to now, I have not received anything from her. So, Hajah Yati, if you are reading, my offer still stands. And for the rest of you readers out there, if you don't have your own blogsite, I am most ready to offer my site for the occassional blogs that you want to write - just make sure the blogs are Brunei related. You can set up your own blogsite once you feel comfortable. As someone later on commented, it will be nice to read someone else's blogs too on this website.

I remembered when I was at school (primary), I have fri

Pulau Cermin - Brunei's Historic Island

Image
Since I was already on the water visiting the Jong Batu at one end of the Brunei River, I thought I might as well go to the other end and visit the other historical site of Brunei, Pulau Cermin. Pulau Cermin as many Brunei historians know it is the site of the temporary palace of Sultan Abdul Hakkul Mubin, the 13th Sultan of Brunei and is the site of the only civil war in Brunei History. Sultan Abdul Hakkul Mubin took the throne after assasinating Sultan Muhammad Ali. It was quite a bloody time in Brunei history and I remembered one classic book written by Yura Halim entitled "Mahkota Berdarah" regarding the episode. Pulau Cermin - view from the River In a nutshell, Sultan Abdul Hakkul Mubin was the Bendahara when his son was killed by the son of Sultan Muhammad Ali. He requested that his son's death be avenged but Sultan Muhammad Ali denied him. So Bendahara Abdul Mubin went amok killing a few people at the palace and with his followers took the Sultan and killed him (No
